二
［A］Teachers should be understanding
［B］Teachers should be respected
［C］Teachers should have correct career principle
［D］Teachers should always long for studying
［E］Teachers should have limitless patience
［F］Teachers should be energetic and cheerful
Here I want to try to give you an answer to the question： What personal qualities are desirable in a teacher？ Probably no two people would draw up exactly the same lists。 But I think the following would be generally accepted。
1
First； the teacher’s personality should be pleasantly live and attractive。 This does not rule out people who are physically plain； or even ugly； because many such have great personal charm。 But it does rule out such types as the overexcitable； melancholy； frigid； sarcastic； cynical； frustrated； and overbearing： I would say too； that it excludes all of dull or purely negative personality。
2
Secondly； it is not merely desirable but essential for a teacher to have a genuine capacity for sympathy—in the literal meaning of that word； a capacity to tune in to the minds and feelings of other people。 Closely related with this is the capacity to be tolerant—not； indeed； of what is wrong； but of the frailty and immaturity of human nature which induce people； and again especially children； to make mistakes。
3
Thirdly； I hold it essential for a teacher to be both intellectually and morally honest。 This does not mean being a saint。 It means that he will be aware of his intellectual strengths； and limitations； and will have thought about and decided upon the moral principles by which his life shall be guided。 There is no contradiction in my going on to say that a teacher should be a bit of an actor。 That is part of the technique of teaching； which demands that every now and then a teacher should be able to put on an act—to enliven a lesson； correct a fault； or award praise。 Children； especially young children； live in a world that is rather larger than life。
4
On the other hand； a teacher must be capable of infinite patronee。 This； I may say； is largely a matter of selfdiscipline and selftraining； because none of us were born like that。 He must be pretty resilient； teaching makes great demands on nervous energy。 And he should be able to take in his stride the innumerable petty irritations any adult dealing with children has to endure。
5
Finally； I think a teacher should have the kind of mind； which always wants to go on learning。 Teaching is a job at which one will never be perfect； there is always something more to learn about it。 There are three principle objects of study： the subject； or subjects； which the teacher is teaching； the methods by which they can best be taught to the particular pupils in the classes he is teaching； and—by far the most important—the children； young people； or adults to whom they are to be taught。
The cardinal principle of British education is education of the whole person； and that it is best acquired through full and active cooperation between two persons； the teacher and the learner。
答案及解析
1。F。该题是要你判断教师首先必须具备的个人品质。从后文中“排除忧郁、冷漠、生性呆板等性格特征”看，与之对应的是“pleasantly live and attractive。 从“does rule out” 我们发现与之对应的“does not rule out”：所以F最符合原文。
2。A。与“tolerant”联系紧密的是什么？只有深刻的从内心理解对方，才能做到“tolerant of the frailty and immaturity of human nature”。显然A项与此联系最紧密。
3。C。表明诚实的含义，不是意味着做圣人，而是一种对人生准则的选择。
4。E。从后文“innumerable petty irritation”看，处理那些数不清的，琐碎的令人恼火的事情， infinite patience 当然是必须的，我们选E。
5。D。There are three principle objects of study 这段是要突出永远学习的必要性。因此D为正确答案。
中心思想
本文论述了教师理想的个人品质。
他应该是精力充沛、令人愉快的，他要有真诚的必不可少的同情心，在知识、道德上诚实，具有无限耐心，最后，他还要有一颗永远渴望学习的心。
译文
在这里，我想试着给出一个问题的答案：教师理想的个人品质是什么？也许没有两个人可以列出相同的答案，但是我认为下面的内容大体上是可以接受的。
首先，教师的性格应该是活泼的，有吸引力的。这并不排除那些相貌平平甚至长相丑陋的人，因为许多这样的人有着伟大的人格魅力。但是，有些类型的人却要排除在外，他们过于兴奋、忧郁、冷漠、愤世嫉俗、沮丧，还有专横无礼；我也会说，那些迟钝的或者纯粹反面的人物也应排除在外。
第二，真诚的同情心（这个词的表面意思）对一个教师来说不仅是理想的，而且也是必不可少的；一种能够与他人的思想和感受产生共鸣的能力。与这紧密联系的能力是容忍——当然，不是容忍错误，而是容忍导致人们，尤其是儿童犯错的人性的弱点和不成熟。
第三，既在知识又在道德方面诚实，我认为对一个教师来说是基本的要求。这并不意味着要做圣人，而是指他将意识到知识的力量和局限，并依据指引他生活的道德准则来进行思考和决策。这并不与我将要说的——教师应该是位演员相矛盾。这是教学技巧的一部分，要求教师随时进入表演——活跃课程，改正错误或给予表扬。小孩子，尤其是年龄较小的儿童，生活在一个比现实更大的世界里。
另外一方面，教师也必须是个极大的“赞助者”。我想说，这在很大程度上是一种自律和自我训练，因为没有人生来就那样的。他必须适应力很强，因为教学要花很多精力；而且他应轻而易举的应付成人对儿童应该容忍的无数琐碎的令人恼火的事。
最后，我认为教师应该有一种不断学习的思想。教学是一项永远也不可能完美的工作，因为总会有很多东西要学习。学习的三个基本组成是：课程，教师教授的课程；方法，在课堂上他教授学生应用的最好方法；最重要的是他教授的儿童、年轻人或成年人。
英国教育的最主要原则是教育全部人，这需要教师和学习者的通力合作。
