Reading comprehension exercise about the qualities of a good teacher, including a short passage and related questions.

Let’s go through each question one by one, using the passage to find the correct answers.

---

Question 1: If you want to be a good teacher you should __.

Look at the first paragraph:
> “Aside from having a love for working with children, being a teacher is not like any other job.”

Also, in the second paragraph:
> “Every day, a good teacher is expected to enjoy communicating with students from different social backgrounds...”

So, enjoying communication with different students is key.

Option A: “be good only at teaching your lessons” — No, the passage says a good teacher is more than just subject mastery.

Option B: “form the habit of working with children” — Close, but the passage emphasizes *enjoying* communication, not just forming a habit.

Option C: “enjoy communicating with different students” — YES! This matches the text exactly.

Option D: “try your best to follow school rules” — Not mentioned as a main point.

✔ Correct answer: C

Question 2: As a teacher, you should do all the following EXCEPT __.

We’re looking for what a good teacher should NOT do.

Passage says:
- Sets high expectations → so expecting everyone to make progress (A) is good.
- Helps underachievers → so helping students who do badly (B) is good.
- Always available to help anytime → so helping before/after class (C) is good.
- Does NOT write assignment and say “get to work!” → instead varies methods, uses games, etc.

Now look at option D: “do some of the homework for students” — The passage never says this. In fact, it encourages effort and learning, not doing work for them. That would be wrong.

So D is the thing a teacher should NOT do.

✔ Correct answer: D

Question 3: A teacher can ask some open-ended questions in order to __.

From the passage:
> “Being asked open-ended questions require students to provide explanation and elaboration. This is a great opportunity to get them to explain themselves even more...”

So the purpose is to get students to explain more.

Option A: keep busy — no, that’s not the goal.

Option B: get students to explain themselves even more — YES! Direct quote.

Option C: help achieve more — too vague; not directly stated.

Option D: force to learn more — “force” is negative; passage says “help them remain interested”.

✔ Correct answer: B

Question 4: Which of the following shows that a teacher is active, clear and positive?

Passage says:
> “an effective teacher is always enthusiastic, active, organized, clear, positive and caring... Instead [of just writing assignment], an effective teacher varies instructional methods, provides work of appropriate difficulty, adds materials and technology, uses games and rich media...”

So making learning interesting with games and tech = active, clear, positive.

Option A: Writing homework on blackboard — passage says DON’T just do that.

Option B: Asking students to work hard — not enough; needs variety.

Option C: Reminding about homework time — not mentioned as sign of being active/clear/positive.

Option D: Making learning interesting by using rich media like games and technology — YES! Matches the passage.

✔ Correct answer: D
