B
Mr Stevens walked around the class handing out math books. Then he came back to the front of the class and looked at us. We looked back. “What are you waiting for? Get started!” he said.
We looked at him and couldn't understand. A student asked, “Mr Stevens, aren't you going to teach us first?”
Mr Stevens replied, “You're smart kids. You can do it by yourselves. Open the book and get to it. If you have any questions, raise your hand and I'll come to help you.”
My friend Paul and I opened our books to the first page. A contest began. Paul and I spent all our free time at home working through the lessons. Mr Stevens was true to his word. He helped us when we had a problem. It was not a usual way of teaching but it worked well. Paul and I worked like dogs and finished two and one half math books that first year.
It was a turning point in my life. Mr Stevens made me realize I was good at math. I kept learning that way all through my high school and university.
I've carried Mr Stevens' lesson with me all my life. When I face a new challenge, I think of this special math class. Instead of sitting around, I just get started. Then before I know it, I dealt with the challenge.
59. What did Mr Stevens want the students to do?
A. Raise their hands.
B. Learn by themselves.
C. Wait for his teaching.
D. Listen to him carefully.
60. How did the writer feel about Mr Stevens' way of teaching?
A. Useful.
B. Boring.
C. Interesting.
D. Usual.
61. What does the writer want to tell us?
A. We should find a turning point.
B. We should take lessons all the life.
C. It's very important to be confident.
D. Getting started is the best way to deal with challenges.

Clara Prado has worked as an English teacher for 20 years. Here's an interview with her.
How did you learn English yourself?
I started learning English at about six or seven. A new language school opened near my home. I started attending classes twice a week. During my teenage years, I went to Australia as an exchange student. I learned a lot from communicating with local people.
What's the best part of teaching English for you?
I've met many wonderful people. Many teachers are creative. I've learned a lot from them. And then there are the students. It's a pleasure to see them realize their dreams.
What challenges do you think learners face today?
The biggest challenge is the unknown. Technology (技术) is changing fast. What will happen in 10, 20 or 50 years? Nobody knows. Well, you can't get ready for everything. But you should have the ability to keep learning throughout your life.
What advice do you always give to your students?
As a language learner, you may make mistakes. The goal is not to be perfect. It's to be able to communicate with others. Learning a language can be a lifelong journey. No one can learn to speak a language well overnight.
