There were times it was only schoolchildren who felt sick before they got their grades. But now teachers in Germany are scared, too, as they are being graded by their students.
Many teachers are opposed to it. They don’t mind being evaluated(评价). But they are upset because the results are then being posted on the Internet and accessible to millions of Internet users. On the website www.spickmich.de during the past four months students have posted evaluation of 100,000 teachers.
The teachers are graded on categories such as “motivated”, “good instruction”, “easy examinations”, or even “sexy”. Many teachers think that their privacy has been violated.
The creators of the website say that the students are only being offered the chance to provide teachers with some feedback about their classroom instruction. Bernd Dicks, who founded the website with three friends, says that the students are largely quite satisfied with their teachers. On a grading scale of one to six, the teachers’ average grade is 2.7 and it has been improving lately. He often says the impression is that students are bullying（威吓） their teachers. But there is also bullying of the students by teachers.
“Teachers must also learn to live with criticism,” he added. But still, the website is not totally immune from manipulation(操纵), as one teacher near the northern city of Hanover recently proved. He registered himself on the website as a student and then rated his own teaching colleagues highly. Within a few days, seven of his colleagues were listed in the top 10 ranking of Germany’s best teachers.
Many teachers are opposed to the website because_____.

We can infer that the founder of the website intended to _____.

From what the teacher in Hanover did, we can infer _____.

At a few minutes past five, Dave noted that the blanket of darkness was lifting. He was just able to make out the heavier masses that eventually appeared as the familiar trees that lined the road at the base of the hill. The upper reaches of the sky showed lighter shades of gray.
Dave got out of bed quietly and dressed quickly. He mixed a spoonful of instant chocolate into a glass of cold water, and his impatience forced him to finish the drink in gulps.
As he walked down toward the lake, Dave paused to reach for the fishing pole and gear box on the bench where he had left them the night before.
By the time he reached the small boat, a thick white mist (雾气) had spread over the surface of the water. He stepped into the boat, sat down, and rowed out of the weed beds that lined the edge of the shore.
The outer fringe（边缘）of the lake disappeared as the boat moved forward noiselessly. All he could see was the enveloping whiteness. He could not tell where the boat and the surrounding air met the surface of the lake.
Dave rowed steadily ahead, relying on a mental picture of the surroundings. Then the mist began to rise, slowly. It soon rested inches above the still surface of the lake. The heavy silence was now being broken by the fish breaking through the surface as they leaped out of the water for low-flying insects.
The magic time had arrived. Dave raised his pole. Dawn was broken. He was excited with expectancy.
Dave got up early in the morning to _________.

What can we learn from the end of the story?

While watching the Olympics the other night, I came across an incredible(难以置信的) sight. The       was swimming and started with only three men. For one reason or another, two of them had a      start, so they were disqualified. That would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to      against.
I watched the man       off the blocks and knew immediately that something was wrong. Now I’m not an expert       but I do know a good dive     a poor one, and this was not exactly medal       . I listened to the crowd begin to      this poor man that was clearly having a       time. Finally he made his turn to start back. It was     he made a few desperate(拼命的) stroke(划水) and you could tell he was exhausted.
But in those few       strokes, the crowd had changed. No longer were they laughing, but beginning to     . Some even began to       things like, “Come on, you can do it!” and he      finished his race. The crowd went      . Even though he recorded one of the      times in Olympic history, this man gave more heart than any of the other    .
In a competition where athletes remove their silver medals, feeling they have       been cheated out of gold, or when they act so       in front of their competitors, it is nice to watch an underdog(败者), a man that gave his all --- knowing that he had no chance, but competed because of his       and the spirit of the games.
