Passage One

I went to aCatholic boys school inBlackpool in the North ofEnglanD、In my first year in the senior school I was a nerdy kid, with spectacles and short trousers. For one hour a week the class had elocution lessons from an old, portly teacher called Mr. Priestley. He had a hard task wrestling with our flat northern vowels and trying to get us to speak the Queen’sEnglish. One day he came up to me and said, "Sloane, I want to put you in for a speaking festival." "Why me " I grumbleD、 "Because I think you can do it," was his reply.
I had to learn to recite a poem. It was "Play up, Play up and Play the game" by Sir Henry Newbolt, a classic motivational poem ringing with the heroic values of theBritishEmpire. I had to practise it in front of the class, which was rather embarrassing; especially when dear old Mr. Priestly said, "That’s good but you need to pause and to put feeling and emotion into it."Eleven year old boys are unwilling to express feelings.
The Saturday of the festival came and I went there on the bus (my parents never had a ear). I gave it my best shot but there were other children there who were more polished or experienced than I was and they scooped all the prizes. So I had to return to school on Monday and tell Mr. Priestley and the class that I had not won. I was then, and still am, very competitive so it felt like a failure to me. We did not have Mr. Priestley again after that year and I never thanked him for that intervention. It is too late to do so now.
In my work I go around the world giving keynote talks on leadership and innovation and I often address large, prestigious audiences. Part of the reason that I can do that is because one teacher took the initiative and gave me a challenge. He asked me to do something I had never done and helped me to learn how to do it.
Education is not about league tables or exam results. It is about opening doors for people and showing them rooms that that would otherwise be hidden. If we can challenge children to try things and to learn what they can achieve then maybe one day we will be remembered with the gratitude that I hold for Mr. Priestley.
The author found it the most embarrassing that ______.A．he had to practice the poem in front of the class
B．he had to put feeling and emotion into the poem
C．his mistakes were pointed out by Mr. Priestley
D．his practice was appreciated by Mr. Priestley

网考网参考答案：B
网考网解析：
[解析] 第2段第3句中的especially表明最让他感到尴尬的是要求他投入感情和激情。末句进一步解释说11岁的男孩子是不愿去表达感情的，由此可见，本题选B。 [点睛] 选项A也是让作者感到尴尬的事，但并不是“最”尴尬的，因此不符合题意；Mr. Priestley虽然指出了作者朗诵时存在的问题．但这不是让他感到尴尬的原因，C不正确:选项D没有原文依据，故排除。 document.getElementById("warp").style.display="none"; document.getElementById("content").style.display="block"; 查看试题解析出处>>
