I'm taking a test and have to guess the right answer to the question after the article. Article: I am a Ph. D. student in a communication program at a large university in the Midwestern US. I teach one course in communication. My class has seventy students. I gave students a syllabus . It explained the purpose, content, schedule, textbook, evaluation, and class rules. I read it and explained every part carefully, because this was a contract between the students and me. American textbooks are well organized. Each chapter has a statement of its purpose, a summary, a list of key ideas, headings and subheadings for sections and exercises. The teacher's manual has suggestions on how to teach, and there are handouts, activities and information on how to use the textbook. There are videotapes for some chapters. Some textbooks even have PowerPoint lectures or a website to support them. Students read the class assignment before they come to class. The class is designed to explain key concepts of the textbook. The teacher's main role is to provide good examples of the concepts and activities to help the students understand the concepts better. One nice thing is that I can use student assistants. They are undergraduate students who get credits for assisting a teacher. I have to supervise them, but they do most of the routine work and listen to students' problems. It is very tough to teach American students because they are so demanding. However, most of them study hard, and most of them get fairly good grades. Very few students get bad grades, and almost no students fail the class. Question: From the passage we can know that _ . Options: A: the teacher listens to students' problems and gives them advice B: the author is a student and teacher at the same time C: the books for teachers have suggestions on how to get along with the students D: students read the class assignment after having the class

His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he must hammer a nail into the back of the fence. The first day he had driven 37 nails into the fence. Over the next few weeks, as he learned to control his anger, the number of nails hammered daily gradually _ . He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it and the father suggested that now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said," You have done well, my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say thing in anger, they have a scar just like these holes. You can put a knife in a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say 'I am sorry ', the wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as physical one." The little boy then understood how powerful his words were. He looked at his father and said " I hope you can forgive me ,father, for the holes I put in you." "of course I can," said the father.
