We all have our favorite teachers---those who seem truly interested in us and treat
us equally(平等地). But what about teachers who are strict with us? Are you afraid of them? Even if a certain teacher is too strict, you can still have a successful relationship with him or her. First, do the obvious job: show up for class or finish your homework on time. Be smart, be respectful, and ask questions.
Show an interest in the subject. Obviously, your teachers are really interested in their subjects or they wouldn’t have decided to teach them! Showing the teacher that you care---even if you’re not good at math or fluent in English---sends the message that you are a dedicated（专注的） student on his subject.
Here are some things to do when trying to establish a relationship with your teacher: Be sincere No teachers would like to have students who are always telling long stories. Tell him the true reasons why you can’t finish your homework or why you are late again. And it’s the most important of all.
Try to be teachers’ pet Be a hard-working student. You must follow the rules in the school. Be teachers’ lovely pet and let them love you.
Give small gifts It’s OK to offer a small gift like a card, or something else on special days. But flashy, expensive items could send the wrong message, and a teacher is usually not allowed to accept anything expensive.
Don’t be afraid of the teachers Every teacher wants to teach you well, although sometimes they are strict with you. Believe that they are very kind to you in fact and don’t be afraid of them.
26. According to the passage, our favorite teacher________________.
A .treats us as family members B. never looks down on us C. has a lot of knowledge 27. Paragraph 3 mainly tells us that_______________.
A. a student should be good at math B. a student should be interested in the subject C. a teacher loves excellent students more
28. Being respectful and asking questions in a polite way can___________. A. help you learn more quickly B. make you become a hard-working student C. get a good relationship with your teachers
