To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your audience; you must be a clear speaker, with a good, strong, pleasant voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to act what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.

Watch a good teacher, and you will see that he doesn’t sit still before his class; he stands the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his arms, hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express feelings.

There are very important differences between the teacher’s work and the actor’s.

The actor has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the same words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand(預(yù)先).What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage. A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience take an active part in his play: they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don’t understand anything, they say so. The teacher can’t learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along.

I have known many teachers who are fine actors in class but are unable to take part in a stage-play because they can’t keep strictly to what another has written.

In a school some trouble was caused by the students, who were naughty（調(diào)皮的）and didn’t follow the school rules. They often fought with each other and they didn’t f 1.  each other. One day a new teacher came to this school. When he heard that, he came up w 2.   a good idea. He told each of his students to b 3.   a clear plastic bag and a bag of potatoes to school. For every person they didn’t want to forgive in their lives, they chose a potato, wrote the person’s name on it, and put it in the plastic bag.

Some of their bags were very h  4.  . They were then told to carry this bag with them e 5.  for one week. They would put it beside their bed at night, on the seat when they s6.  in a car or on a bus, and next to their desk at school. Days of carrying the bags a  7.   with them made students get to know what a weight they were carrying in their minds. And they had to pay so much attention to it all the time t  8.   they didn’t forget it or leave it in embarrassing places. As time p  9.  by, the potatoes went bad and made people feel sick.

Too often we think of tolerance（容忍）as a gift to other people, and it clearly is for ourselves! If we choose to keep our sadness and hatred (仇恨) in our hearts, we will have to carry them around all our lives. After that, the students got on w 10.   with each other and didn’t fight any more. Learn to forgive, and you will be happier at the same time.
