I. “Buffaloooo!” Donnie shouted to start the game. This call was a familiar sound on the playground in my elementary school days. This was to be our last day of school for the year, but more significantly, the last day of school at Readfield Elementary.
II. A group of about seventeen of us were out by the jungle gym to prepare for the upcoming game of “buffalo”. The rules of the game were that one person was the “Buffalo hunter”, while the rest lined up in a line on one side of the field and tried to get to the other side without getting caught. The “Buffalo hunter” had to tackle or trip people as they ran across, and if he caught someone, they had to help him catch the rest of the kids. The teachers did not approve of this game because it was so rough and sometimes violent so we had to play on days with unaware teachers on recess duty.
63
III. “Who’s on duty today?” I asked the group. “I think it’s a sub,” replied Mike with a smile. “Great!” I said. “We can play today.” – “O.K. guys,” someone shouted. “I’m it.” We all lined up and waited for the command. “Buffaloooo!” shouted Donnie. A mass scramble was seen as we all tried to get to the other side like there was no tomorrow. When I got to the end I turned around just in time to see Mr. Bean turn the corner. I looked at Mike who also made it across.
IV. “Look who’s coming,” I said shakily. “He’s going to kill us!” Mike replied terrified. Mr. Bean was not a person who you would want to meet in a dark alley. He was very strict and the fact that he was built like the Hulk didn’t convey comforting thoughts. His huge build was the only thing I saw as he walked over slowly to our now-trembling group.
V. ‘What are you doing?” his voice sounded. “Playing buffalo,” a weak and honest voice said. Mr. Bean looked us over carefully for a while as we waited for our fate. “How do you play?” he asked curiously. The same weak voice explained the rules to him quickly and nervously. “Okay then,” Mr. Bean explained after hearing the rules, “line up and I’ll start off as the Buffalo hunter”. A sigh of relief and sense of uncertainty filled the air as the game started. As it turned out it was the best buffalo game we ever played.
A36. The story gives us the description of
1)a buffalo hunting adventure.
2)a game young children play.
3)a school where games are not allowed.
A37. The narrator of the story recollects the time when he was
1)a senior grade student.
2)a middle school student.
3)an elementary school student.
A38. For the kids, the attraction of the game lies in the fact that
1)teachers and students played together.
2)it was highly competitive indeed.
3)it involved risk and even some violence.
A39. When the narrator describes the teacher, he probably
1)laughs at Mr Bean.
2)pays Mr Bean a compliment.
3)stresses the impression Mr Bean produced.

(A43)___Why do I teach? A friend asked me the question when I told him I didn’t want a university administrative position. He was puzzled that I did not want to “step up” toward money and power.
(A44)___One thing is certain – I don’t teach because teaching is easy for me. Teaching is the most difficult of all the ways I have attempted to earn my living: bulldozer mechanic, carpenter, university administrator, writer. For me, it’s a red-eye, sweaty-palm, sinking-stomach profession. Red-eye, because I never feel ready to teach, no matter how late at night I stay up to prepare. Sweaty-palm, because I am always nervous before I enter a classroom, sure that I will be found out for the fool I am. Sink- ing-stomach, because I usually walk out an hour later convinced that I was even more boring than usual. Why, then, do I teach?
(A45)___I teach because I like the pace of the academic calendar. June, July and August allow me to mix reflection, research and writing, all ingredients in my recipe for teaching. It is not that summers are less effort. It is that they are different effort.
(A46)___I teach because I like the freedom to make my own mistakes, to learn my own lessons, to stimulate myself and my students. As
65
a teacher, I am my own boss. If, as in a recent semester, I want freshmen to learn how to write by putting together their own textbook, well, who is to say I may not? The course may be a colossal failure, but we can learn from colossal failures.
(A47)___I teach because I like to learn. I like to ask questions, questions that students must struggle to answer. The world is full of right answers to bad questions. One of the major discoveries of my professional life is that I teach best not what I know, but what I want to learn. When I wanted to know more about the role of the Indian culture in American literature, I taught a course on the subject, taking students with me on a path of discovery.
(A48)___I teach because teaching gives me many nectars to taste, many woods to enter and leave, many fine books to read, and many ivory towers and real-world experiences to discover. Teaching gives me pace and variety and challenge and the opportunity to keep on learning. I teach because, being around people who are beginning to breathe, I occasionally find myself catching my breath with them.
