31、ollowed by speaking.Writing increased as a problem as students discovered difficulties in writing papers that they were now expected to hand in.remained as a significant problem.The information gained helped us in determining where special attention should be paid in our course.Although many student

32、s have chosen to join the course with a reasonable motivation,we considered it important to note what seemed to encourage interest.Nearly all the students have experienced some kind of grammar-based English teaching in their own country.To use the same method would be self-defeating because it might

33、 reduce motivation,especially if it has failed in the past.Therefore a different method may help because it is different.Variety of activity was also seen as a way of maintaining(保持)or increasing motivation.Several years ago we had one timetable that operated throughout,but we soon found that both t

37、nk B.activity C.motivation D.timetable D Since my retirement from teaching music in 2001,I have spent a good deal of time painting as an artist.I actually began drawing again in the summer of 1995 when my father died,so perhaps I was trying to recover from the loss of my father,or maybe it was just

38、that it brought back memories of him.In any case,I drew pen and ink animals and landscapes(风景画)much influenced by Krenkel and St.John for five years.For some strange reason,I had been waiting until my retirement to start doing watercolors again,but as soon as I walked out of the school door for the

39、last time I picked up my brushes and rediscovered Andrew Wyeth,who quickly became my favorite artist.I had looked through all the art books I had on my shelves and found his watercolors to be the closest to how I thought good watercolors should look.So I painted landscapes around for three years and

40、 tried out many other types of painting.However,watercolors remained my first choice,and I think I did my best work there,showing my paintings at a number of art exhibitions.Art is now together with my piano playing and reading.There is a time for everything in my world,and it is wonderful to have s

44、 to someone who has joked his way through life.But Lans answer reminded me that when we think about happiness,we usually think of something extraordinary,a pinnacle(顶点)of sheer(纯粹的)delight.51 52 I remember playing police and robbers in the woods,getting a speaking part in the school play.Of course,k

45、ids also experience lows,but their delight at such peaks of pleasure as winning a race or getting a new bike is unreserved.In the teenage years,the concept of happiness changes.53 I can still feel the pain of not being invited to a party that almost everyone else was going to.I also remember the gre

46、at happiness of being invited at another event to dance with a very handsome young man.In adulthood the things that bring great joy birth,love,marriage also bring responsibility and the risk of loss.Love may not last;loved ones die.For adults,happiness is complex.My dictionary defines“happy”as“lucky
