6、 s。我的老师第13段译文格雷厄姆劳伦斯，29岁，在电视上作讲解的科学作家，于1981年至1989年间在奥斐顿中学读书。自从我离开学校后再也没有见过詹金斯先生，但我经常想起他。我上学时大多数科目都学得不太好，我想我当时有点儿懒，现在我真希望当时能多做些努力，特别是在数学方面。我对学校所学的数学能够记得的唯一的东西是一个三角形的角度总和是180度！但是当我15岁走进詹金斯先生的课堂时，我平生第一次真正地对一门课产生了兴趣。在詹金斯先生教我之前，科学课对我而言只是一门充满怪异词汇的科目。我不知道原子是什么，而且也真的不想知道！我觉得科学很乏味无聊，又深奥难懂。但是詹金斯先生使一切变得妙趣横生。他总

10、真的是我第一次面对听众讲解科学知识，而现在这成了我的工作！现在每当我准备节目时，我经常会想詹金斯先生当时会怎样做。有时我真希望我能给他打个电话问问他的意见！My StudentBrianJenkins, scienceteacheratOvertonSchool.Before Graham came into my class, he was very difficult.

17、全神贯注。他热爱科学！格雷厄姆非常聪明，他本应该把其他所有的科目都学得更好。我读过几本他写的书，也在电视上见过他。我总是对我妻子说：“看哪，我曾经教过他！”我希望我教的其他所有学生也能像教格雷厄姆这样成功。如今教书不那么容易了，有许多问题，而且经费紧张。政府本该给科学教育多拨些款。我还希望他们能减少班级的人数在实验室上课时，小组人数过多不太好操作，而且比较穷的学校里情况一定更差！至少在像我们这样的学校里，我们有实验室！我的妻子常常希望我选择一份压力小点儿的工作，但是我热爱我所做的一切。作为一名老师，你可以在孩子们心灵顿开、渴望学习时进入他们的思想。如果作为一名老师我所做的工作能够帮助将一个像格

63、here the object is located”可知，海豚用声音找东西。4D由该空前的“They are so intelligent .throwing balls through nets and jumping through rings.”可知，海豚甚至可以通过训练来用强大的尾巴在水上“行走”。5G由该段中的“dolphins coming to the rescue of swimmers who were drowning or being attacked by a shark”可知，一位冲浪者被鲨鱼咬了两次后，很多海豚包围了受伤的冲浪者，把鲨鱼赶走，这样冲浪者就可以到达岸边。
