A
A good teacher is many things to many people. In my own experience, the people I respect the most and think about the most are the teachers who demanded (要求) the most discipline (紀(jì)律) from their students.
I miss one teacher in particular that I had in high school. I think she was a good teacher because she was a very strict person. I remember very vividly (清晰地) a sign over her classroom door. It was a simple sign that said, “Laboratory-in this room the first five letters of the word was emphasized (強(qiáng)調(diào)), not the last seven.” In other words, I guess, labor(勞動(dòng)) for her was more important than oratory, which means making speeches.
She prepared her work very carefully and demanded us to do the same. We got lots of homework from her. Once she had broken her arm, and everybody in the class thought that maybe the homework load would be reduced, but it continued just the same. She checked our work by stamping her name at the bottom of the papers to show that she had read them.
I think sometimes teachers who demand the most are liked the least. But as time goes by, this discipline really seems to benefit (有益于) the students.

38. When the teacher’s arm was broken, she ___.
A. gave her students the usual amount of homework B. gave her students less homework
C. asked her students to check the homework themselves D. gave her students more homework
39. What’s the writer’s opinion of discipline?
A. It makes the students dislike their teachers. B. It does good to the students in the long run.
C. It’s too much for young children. D. It does more harm than good to the students.
B
People are so busy these days that many people have no time to cook. This becomes a problem, because most families love home cooking! The food tastes good and warm, and a family meal brings everyone together. In some families, meals are often the only times everyone sees one another the same time.
Another reason people enjoy home cooking is that it is often a way of showing love. A parent who makes some cookies（小甜餅）is not just satisfying（滿足）a child’s sweet tooth. She or he is sending a message. The message says, “I care about you enough to spend an hour making cooking hat you will eat up in 15 minutes if I let you.”
There is also something about the smell of home cooking. The smell of home cooking pleases people of all ages. It makes most of us feel good and loved- even if we are the ones doing the next time you smell a cake making, stop for a moment and pay attention to your mood（心情）.

The history and legend
The name of the Danish flag, the Dannefrog, meaning “the flag of the Danes: or : “the red flag”, is fist encountered in the Danish text from 1478 and in a Netherlands’ text from 100 years before that. In the Netherlands’ armorial(GELre) from 1370-1386 a red banner wit5h white cross is annexed to the coat of arms of Vladimir IV Attended.
According to the legend, the Dannenberg fell from heaven from a battle in Estonia（愛(ài)沙尼亞）; this legend is mentioned in Christian Pedersen’s Danish Chronicle(編年史) from the beginning of the 1520s and by the Franciscan monk Peer Olsen c.1527. This latter relates the event to a battle in 1219.
The legend Presumably（椐推測(cè)） came into being around 1500 on the basis of the idea that the royal banner which King Hans lost at his defeat in the Demarches’ in Northern Germany in1500 was the Dannenberg that had fallen from heaven. In 1559 Frederic II recaptured （奪回）the banner and had it hung in Schleswig Cathedral in present-day northern Germany.
In a song from the campaign of 1500 the banner charged with the cross is associated with the Roman Emperor Constantine’s dream of the cross in 312 before the battle in which he became absolute monarch in the Roman Empire and according to tradition was converted to Christianity.
This vision of the cross, to which are linked the words in hoc signor vices(“under this sign you shall be victories”) is the prototype（原型）of the miracles in the shapes of crosses in the sky, which particularly in the Iberian Peninsula（伊比利亞半島） were connected with battles between Christians and infidels（異教徒）.
