Module 2 My New Teachers Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2019·全国卷Ⅰ)For Canaan Elementarys second grade in Patchogue, N．Y., today is speech day, and right now its Chris Palaezs turn. The 8yearold is the joker of the class. With shining dark eyes, he seems like the kind of kid who would enjoy public speaking. But hes nervous. “Im here to tell you today why you should ... should ...” Chris trips on the “ld，” a pronunciation difficulty for many nonnative English speakers. His teacher, Thomas Whaley, is next to him, whispering support. “... Vote for ... me ...”Except for some stumbles,_Chris is doing amazingly well. When he brings his speech to a nice conclusion, Whaley invites the rest of the class to praise him. A son of immigrants, Chris started learning English a little over three years ago. Whaley recalls (回想起) how at the beginning of the year, when called upon to read, Chris would excuse himself to go to the bathroom. Learning English as a second language can be a painful experience. What you need is a great teacher who lets you make mistakes. “It takes a lot for any student，” Whaley explains, “especially for a student who is learning English as their new language, to feel confident enough to say, ‘I dont know, but I want to know.’” Whaley got the idea of this secondgrade presidential campaign project when he asked the children one day to raise their hands if they thought they could never be a president. The answer broke his heart. Whaley says the project is about more than just learning to read and speak in public. He wants these kids to learn to boast (夸耀) about themselves. “Boasting about yourself, and your best qualities，” Whaley says, “is very difficult for a child who came into the classroom not feeling confident.” 篇章导读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了小学教师 Whaley 通过组织学生演讲来帮助学 生增强自信的教学实践。 1．What made Chris nervous? A．Telling a story.
