[对应学生用书P439] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2021·河北六校联考)Tyler attended my class for a semester.He had anger management issues.He had been suspended many times in previous years.When he entered my class in his senior year, I assumed the worst. In my class, if Tyler got an answer wrong, he would become angry.About a month into the year, I was still trying to connect with Tyler.I can usually get students involved in class discussions or at least motivate them to sit quietly and attentively.By contrast, Tyler was just loud and unpleasant. One day, Tyler was talking while I was teaching.In the middle of the lesson, I said, “Tyler, why don't you join our discussion instead of having one of your own？” With that, he got up from his chair, pushed it over, and yelled something rude.I referred Tyler to the headmaster and he received a week's out­of­school suspension. The week Tyler was out of school was wonderful but the suspension week soon came to an end.On the day of Tyler's return, I stood at the door waiting for him.As soon as I saw him, I asked Tyler to talk to me for a moment.He seemed unhappy to do it but agreed.I told him that I wanted to start over with him.I also told him that if he felt like he was going to lose control in class, he had my permission to step outside the door for a moment to collect himself. From that point on, Tyler was a changed student.He listened and he participated.He was a smart student, something I could finally witness in him.He even stopped a fight between two other students one day.At the end of the year, Tyler wrote me a thank­you note about how good the year had been for him.Today I still find it touching to reread when I get stressed about teaching. This experience changed me as a teacher.I came to understand that students are people who have feelings and who don't want to feel cornered.They want to learn but they also want to feel as if they have some control over themselves.I never made assumptions again about students before they came into my class.Eve
