September 1,he set a Guinness World Record for the world's longest
teaching career.Mr.Durietz has been teaching for 53 years-since he was
23 years old.
Mr.Durietz has known since he was young that he wanted to be a
social studies teacher.Social studies is the study of history,and how
people,countries,and cultures are connected.He became interested in

and the students used paper textbooks.These days,he and the students use
computers and digital whiteboards.
Though technology has changed a lot since he began teaching,Mr.
Durietz says the students are still pretty much the same-except that now
they have cell phones.
With or without technology,Mr.Durietz has used creative activities to
help his students learn.For example,he has organized virtual field trips,
geography contests,and special days about the US Civil War.He has even
organized fake()elections at school to help his students learn about
politics.He says these activities are some of the ones that he and his
students enjoyed most.

Pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and try something a little
scary can help you get into the habit not of failing but of learning from each
new experience.Try the following:
5 The good news is that you needn't go abroad in order to make a
高考总复习·周测阶梯卷·英语(十八)P18一1
fool of yourself!There are almost certain to be restaurants in your city run
by people who do not speak the same first language as you.Don't worry if
your grasp of their language is imperfect.6 And who cares if they
laugh!Laugh along with them.
Date someone you would normally avoid.Obviously,this does not
mean dating someone you find unattractive or threatening.But,let's say
you are a man and normally date girls who are ambitious and career-minded.
Of course,the date may be a complete disaster.You may even find yourself
reduced to silence,while she sits there looking bored to death.7
Try cooking a meal for family or friends.If you are the sort of person
who finds toasted sandwiches complicated,try making a three course meal
for friends.Remember,you are learning to approach failure in a new way.
If that seems too big a deal,try simply cooking dinner for your partner.
8 You may use too much sugar,or leave the meat in for too long,or
not realize that you should have placed it on the bottom shelf of the oven,or
whatever.A week later,try the same meal again,this time correcting your
mistakes.9 You can be sure that your favourite chef messed up her
signature dish numerous times before she got it right-indeed,that is how
she got it right!
A.Order food in a foreign language.
B.Learn to value and even accept failure.
C.Things will almost certainly go wrong.
D.But it will at least be a new kind of experience.
E.But failure does have valuable lessons to teach.
F.The waiters will almost certainly appreciate your effort.
G.Cooking is an excellent example of how people learn through failure.

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇
完整的短文。
I was in Philadelphia for a conference when I saw an ad in the hotel.A
nearby theater was showing a documentary(纪录片)about several local
animal shelters that were helping to save abandoned dogs across the
country.I love animals,and I felt an urge to go to this fundraising event.
However,none of my co-workers would go with me,and I was worried
about walking on the street alone at night.
I resigned myself to spending the evening in my hotel room,but as
soon as I got back to my room I felt restless and bored.The theater where
the event was taking place was only about five blocks from the hotel,and
the area around the hotel didn't seem particularly dangerous.So,I decided
to brave it.I gathered up my wallet and room key and set off.
It was already getting dark and the streets were nearly deserted.I
managed to find the street the theater was on,but when I turned the
corner,I stopped in shock.In front of the theater were a group of bikers-
very big,tough-looking bikers.
I've known lots of motorcycle enthusiasts and most are nice people.
However,in this case,I was a woman all alone,in a strange neighborhood,
高考总复习·周测阶梯卷·英语(十八)P18一2
at night,and there were twenty or so very large men-all wearing insignia(
that indicated they were in some sort of club-standing before me.
Warning bells began to sound in my head,and my heart was pounding.Was
I at the right theater?Had I misread the date of the event?
A sign outside the theater told me that I was in the right place on the
right evening.Nevertheless,I wondered if I should rush back to my hotel
instead of walking through that crowd of bikers.I finally decided that I
would be safer inside the theater.Hopefully,the bikers would have gone
away by the time the film was over.
注意:
1.续写词数应为150个左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
I hurried into the theater,only to find there were even more bikers
inside.
When the film began,I realized that the bikers were an animal rescue
group.(+八)

I hurried into the theater,only to find there were even more bikers inside.They were chatting loudly and
seemed to fill every corner of the place.My heart sank even further.I quickly found an empty seat in the back
row,trying to make myself as inconspicuous as possible.I clutched my bag tightly,constantly glancing around,
praying that nothing bad would happen.Every now and then,I peeked at the bikers,wondering what they were
doing here.Were they going to cause trouble?The tension in the air was palpable,and I regretted my decision to
come alone.
When the film began,I realized that the bikers were an animal rescue group.They had come to support the
fundraiser for the local animal shelters.As the documentary unfolded,showing the plight of the abandoned
dogs,I saw many of the bikers wiping away tears.They were as moved as I was by the heartwarming and
heartbreaking stories.During the intermission,some of them even came over to me,smiling kindly and asking if
I was enjoying the film.Their tough exteriors hid big,soft hearts.I felt ashamed of my initial fear and was truly
grateful that I had decided to come.We spent the rest of the evening sharing our love for animals and discussing
ways to help.
