Eye See You
Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others. -- Jonathan Swift
I walked into a wild third-grade classroom. Music was playing _36_, children were under tables applying make-up, kids were throwing a football indoors, and students were _37_ wherever they could find _38_. I was a mid-year _39_. The previous _40_ said he could no longer manage these children and _41_ without notice during the holiday break.
As soon as I walked in the room, I realized why he _42_. I sat down _43_ in my chair and began reading their _44_ softly. After each name, I _45_, asking God to help me understand that child. I then nailed a _46_ to the wall next to the chalkboard and began _47_ my name and a reading assignment on the board. I then asked each child to e to me, and tell me their names and what they wanted to learn. It was a _48_ task, because only two children there wanted to learn something! Rules were _49_, boundaries established, parents contacted. But the mirror saved the day -- no, the year! Unbeknownst(不知的) to the children, the mirror allowed me to see their every _50_ while I was writing on the board. They soon became _51_ as to how I knew who was misbehaving while I was writing on the board. When one student finally asked me, I told him I had a special teacher’s eye in the back of my head that my hair _52_. At first they did not believe me. _53_ they did begin to exhibit better behavior, especially while I wrote on the board, thinking I had magical _54_. I never told them differently. Why _55_ a good thing?

(答案→)C
解析：文章讲述的是一个新来的老师利用墙上的一个镜子，让孩子们认为他有特殊的能力，从而制止了孩子们混乱的情况。
【小题1】上下文，根据后面的children were under tables applying make-up, kids were throwing a football indoors可知，此时教室里肯定很吵闹，所以选择loudly
【小题2】上下文，因为上文提到了在播放音乐，所以孩子们在跟着音乐跳舞。
【小题3】句意理解，他们在能找到空的地方跳舞。
【小题4】上下文，根据后文可知，一个老师辞职了，所以我是来代替他的。
【小题5】上下文，没有老师能管得住他们。
【小题6】句意理解，老师在假期里辞职了。
【小题7】上下文，意为我理解了为什么老师会离开了，指的就是上文提到的辞职。
【小题8】上下文，根据后面的内容可知，他是安静的坐在那里，
【小题9】上下文，根据后面的each name可知，他是在读孩子们的名字。
【小题10】上下文，根据后面的asking God to help me understand that child可知，他是在向上帝祈祷。
【小题11】上下文，根据后面的But the mirror saved the day -- no, the year可知，此处是镜子
【小题12】上下文，根据后面的on the board可知，他是在黑板上写下了他的名字和任务。
【小题13】上下文，根据后面的because only two children there wanted to learn something可知，让孩子都过来是非常不容易的。
【小题14】常用搭配，set rules意为制定规则，此处意为规则已经制定了
【小题15】镜子让我能够看到孩子们的一举一动。
【小题16】上下文，孩子们不知道我是通过镜子观察他们的，所以他们对于我是如何知道他们的一举一动，表示困惑。
【小题17】句意理解，头发盖住的
【小题18】此处表示转折，意思他们刚开始不相信我，但是他们开始表现好一点了。
【小题19】上下文，根据前面的I told him I had a special teacher’s eye in the back of my head可知，此处值得是视力，能看得到他们的能力。
【小题20】词组辨析，mess up弄糟 句意为为什么要毁掉一件好事情呢。
