英语IV期末考试复习提纲（1） 考试项目 复习范围 英译中Unit 1 A common misconception among youngsters attending school is that their teachers were child prodigies. Who else but a bookworm, with none of the normal kid’s tendency to play rather than study, would grow up to be a teacher anyway? I’ve tried desperately to explain to my students that the image they have of me as an enthusiastic devotee of books and home work during my adolescence is a bit out of focus.

If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow. The years of early childhood are the time to prepare the soil. Once the emotions have been aroused – a sense of the beautiful, the excitement of the new and the unknown, a feeling of sympathy, pity, admiration or love – then we wish
