5、ly and summarize the main idea.The passage mainly tells us that teachers can observe students body language to adjust their teaching activities.Para 1 As an educator(edju:ket)教育工作者,people often ask me how I know what is going on in the minds心里 of my students.Many students are quite shy and dont spea
6、k all that(so)much.At the same time,in a classroom of more than forty students,it is hard to have many one-on-one conversations with each person.So,how can I really know what makes each student tick(work)?作为一名教育工作者,人们经常问我,我怎么知道我的学生心里在想什么。许多学生相当害羞,不怎么说话。同时,在一个有四十多个学生的教室里,很难与每个人进行许多一对一的谈话。那么,我怎样才能真正了解

9、lass to end.很容易识别出学生对课程感兴趣。大多数人倾向于抬头看,并进行眼神交流。当我讲笑话的时候,他们会微笑。当我讲到一些困难的事情时,他们会显得很困惑。然而,我知道学生真正感兴趣的时候,是因为他们会向前倾,看着我。人们有一种倾向,即向他们感兴趣的东西靠拢。因此,如果一个学生低着头看表,这意味着他很无聊,只是在数着下课的时间。Para 3confused Grammar is so confusing that she feels confused about it.Though her teacher gives her some examples,there is still
10、some confusion for her about it.Para 3have sth.edHe is going to have his car fixed.He hopes it wont be too expensive!Lizzy cant talk right now.Shes having her hair cut by the barber理发师 at the moment.Phil doesnt want to come back to class.He had his feelings hurt last week,and he just isnt enthusiast

12、always have the same distant心不在焉的 expression表情 on their faces.It is as though they are asleep with their eyes open.如果两个朋友把头靠在一起,他们可能在给对方写纸条。当然,不是每个抬头的人都在上课时注意听讲。有些学生抬头,但却没有眼神交流。他们的眼睛几乎不动,而且脸上总是带着同样的心不在焉的表情。他们好像睁着眼睛睡着了。Para 3as thoughIt is 7:56 a.m.now.It seems as though he is late for school.The sky

15、后,有些学生最喜欢的活动是做白日梦。他们手托着下巴,通过盯着窗外或仰望天花板来打发时间。他们当然对某些东西感兴趣,但谁知道是什么呢。最主要的是提醒分心的学生,他们需要在课堂上注意。Para 4with+n+advShe looked at me with tears in her eyes.She is speaking with the food in his mouth.She came into the classroom with a book under his arm.She sat with her back against the wall.Para 5 While虽然 it

18、自己的身体。悲伤或忧虑的学生几乎总是皱着眉头。他们也可能把脸藏在手里,就像他们感到尴尬或羞愧。Para 5while尽管While I understand what you say,I cant agree with you.While the work was difficult,it was interesting.While he is respected,he is not liked.Para 5 It is embarrassing for her to meet her former boyfriend.She feels very embarrassed to be met
19、by her former boyfriend.Para 5Some students act this way merely(mili=only)because they are afraid of being called on点名 by the teacher.However,if a student does not bother(b)花费时间精力 to brush her hair and her eyes are red from weeping(wi:p)哭泣,then I can infer推断 that there are deeper issues问题 at work起作用
