The surrounding green fields were so unlike the muddy landscape of war-torn France. After four horrible years as an army private fighting in Europe, Stanley had returned to England in February 1946. Armed now with some savings and with no prospects for a job in England, he answered a newspaper ad for farm help in Canada. Two months later he was on his way.When the old car rumbled toward the tiny station, Stanley rose to his feet, trying to make the most of his five foot, four inch frame. The farmer, Alphonse Lapine, shook his head and plained, “Youre a skinny thing.” On the way to his dairy farm, Alphonse explained that he had a wife and seven kids. “Moneys tight. Youll get room and board. Youll get up at dawn for milking, and then help me around the farm until evening milking time again. Ten dollars a week. Sundays off.” Stanley nodded. He had never been on a farm before, but he took the job. From the beginning Stanley was treated horribly by the whole family. They made fun of the way he dressed and talked. He could do nothing right. The humourless farmer frequently lost his temper, criticizing Stanley for the slightest mistake. The oldest son, 13-year-old Armand, constantly played nasty tricks on him. But the kind-hearted Stanley never responded. Stanley never became part of the Lapine family. After work, they ignored him. He spent his nights alone in a tiny bedroom. However, each evening before retiring, he lovingly cared for the farmers horses, eagerly awaiting him at the field gate. He called them his gentle giants. On Saturday nights he hitch-hiked into the nearest town and wandered the streets or enjoyed a restaurant meal before returning to the farm. Early one November morning Alphonse Lapine discovered that Stanley had disappeared, after only six months as his farmhand. The railway station master, when questioned later that week, said he had not seen him. In fact no one in the munity ever heard of him again. That is, until one evening, almost 20 years later, when Armand, opened an American sports magazine and came across a shocking headline, “Millionaire jockey, Stanley Vine, ex-British soldier and 5-time horse riding champion, began life in North America as a farmhand in Canada.”16.

Indian tutors are helping to teach math to British children over high-speed Internet connections. Early results suggest the idea is improving exam results. But not everyone is happy at this “outsourcing” of tutoring. Its 3:30, and pupils at Raynham Primary School in London are gathering for their after-school maths lessons. Five time zones thousands of kilometers awaytheir math tutors are also arriving for class. High-speed Internet has made it possible for Indian tutors to teach British pupils in real time. Each pupil gets a dedicated one-to-one online tutor. The students work with activities on their puter screen and wear a headset and microphone to talk to their tutor. The class teacher, Altus Basson, says he has seen an improvement in results. “There are some children whove really rocketed in their results. Children who struggleto focus in class focus a lot better on the laptops. The real advantage is that each child gets a focused activity and a single tutor,” he said. Such individualized teaching is the core idea of Brightspark Education, the pany that provides the online tutoring, says founder Tom Hooper. “Children today feel very confident online; they feel very engaged; they feel very in control. And thats half the battle with education.Give them control, make them feel confident and enjoy their learning and youll see them start to improve and embrace it, he said. Raynham Primary School is among the first in Europe to try online tutoring. At between $20 and $25 an hour, its about half the cost of face-to-face coaching. But some people say an Internet connection is not enough of a connection for teaching and learning. Kevin Courtney is deputy General Secretary of Britains National Union of Teachers. We think, theres a really important emotional connection between a teacher and a child whether its a whole class or whether its one-to-one. You need that immediacy of feedback and were not convinced that that can happen across an Internet connection. In one of the wealthiest.countries in the world, we think that we can afford to have teachers with genuine emotional connection there with thechildren, he said. Brightspark Education says the online tutoring is used only as an addition to supplement regular teaching. The pany says its service does not represent a threat to teachers jobs in Britain. Parents say theyre very satisfied with the results theyve seen. And what about the children?Children: I love it!I love it!I hate maths! So math-or, as the British call it, mathsis still not everyones favorite subject even with the latest technology to teach it.6. What do we know about the online tutoring? A. Indian tutors are helping to teach math in Britain. B. Tutors and students are in different places. C. An online tutor helps several students at the same time. D. Tutors and students municate by telephone.7. What can we learn about Brightspark Education? A. It shows a threat to teachers jobs in Britain.B. It can take place of the regular teaching. C. It only pays attention to math teaching. D. It emphasizes the individualized teaching.8. According to Kevin Courtne, _. . A. online tutoring will represent a threat to teachers jobs in Britain B. online tutoring has a great influence on British. C. the emotional connection between a teacher and a child is important D. immediacy of feedback can happen across an Internet connection9. The tone of this passage could best be described as _. A. humorous B. ironic（讽刺的） C. admiring D. dissatisfied10 Whats the best title for this passage ? A. A New Teaching Pattern B. Indian Teachers and British StudentsC.
