Section Ⅳ　“Developing ideas”的课文习读环节 [课时跟踪检测]　　　(标语篇配有教师讲评课件) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A My first guitar lesson ended in pain, confusion and defeat, but I was completely absorbed. At 10, I felt a deep connection to this mysterious instrument. Since then, guitars have been my life. Through aching fingers and weary arms, guitars tapped into my deep emotions. With practice, the pain faded, and I grew closer to the instrument. The calluses (老茧) on my fingertips became badges (勋章) of honor, filling me with pride. The sensations of playing became second nature, offering momentary excellence. I lost count of the magic instants when I was transported to a different reality. Picking up a guitar always returns me to that wide­eyed 10­year­old, leaving me calmer and re­energized. The joy is enhanced when I witness its impact on others. In my late teens, our band performed at hospitals, children's camps and seniors' homes. The smiles and dancing of the audience still remain with me. Guitars also bridged cultural divides. When I traveled, shared rhythms with fellow musicians stirred up beautiful, wordless conversations. The guitar has marked many defining moments in my life — performing for my wife, accompanying my children and comforting me in adversity. It centers and calms me. Many years ago, I thought I was picking up a guitar for the first and only time. Instead, it claimed me for a lifetime. I credit it to my parents, whose encouragement and belief in my potential paved the way for a lifelong passion. For anyone fortunate enough, there's an “instrument” waiting to be found — something that connects them to themselves and others. It might not be a guitar; it could be a paintbrush or a sport. What matters is the sense of belonging it brings. Now, hearing my son's guitar flow through the house at night, I hope it touches his soul as deeply as it has touched mine. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了作者10岁时与吉他结缘，它伴随其成长，既带来快乐又帮助连接他人，也因父母支持成终身热爱。 1．Why did the author consider the calluses as badges of honor?

His job includes ensuring high academic standards and overseeing (监督) student admissions and academic success. However, his favorite and important part is staying with students and assisting them in reaching their goals. “I enjoy interacting with students the most，” said Titsworth. “Seeing people grow and learn is rewarding, and I feel honored to be part of their journey.” Titsworth's path began in Parsons, Kansas, a small town with more than 10,000 residents. It was known as a railroad town, and many of his family members worked for the railroad. But Titsworth chose a different route — going to college to pursue his favorite career in media and communication. Before starting to work in academia, Titsworth worked at a radio station. Eventually, Titsworth realized that he wanted to use his talents and skills to help others learn about and pursue their dreams in the field of communication. Titsworth is a leading scholar in the area of classroom communication effectiveness. With more than 50 books, chapters, and articles published on the topic, his most recent research has explored ways in which students' emotional experiences are related to their learning activities, including both note­taking and cognitive performance. Over his 20 years in the Scripps College of Communication, he has held roles such as director of graduate studies and recognized the growing importance of preparing the next generation in media. He emphasizes that today, anyone can create content and share it, so training in effective communication is essential. Although he misses teaching directly, Titsworth is proud of the unique opportunities the Scripps College of Communication offers its students to prepare them for successful careers. “Get to know people” is his advice for new students. “Your relationships will greatly influence your growth while you study here，” he said. 语篇解读：本文是一篇夹叙夹议文。蒂茨沃思通过学术研究、教学改革和师生互动，培养兼具专业深度与人文关怀的传播人才，适应新媒体时代的挑战。 5．What does Titsworth value the most about his roles?

A．To prove his uniqueness. B．To find a well­paid career. C．To pursue his own interest. D．To leave his hometown for a city. 解析：选C　细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知，蒂茨沃思选择了不同于家人的道路，即上大学追求自己热爱的媒体和传播事业，这表明他选择不同职业道路是为了追求自身兴趣。 7．What is paragraph 4 mainly about? A．Titsworth's achievements. B．Titsworth's teaching experience. C．Titsworth's works.
