UNIT 5 单元主题训练Ⅰ.阅读理解When I was in eighth grade, my English teacher Joan announced that we were going to learn about prepositional phrases. “There are over forty commonly used prepositions，” she continued. “And everyone must memorize them.” Joan recited (背诵) these prepositions as easily as saying the days of the week. She said you would find grammar easy when you memorized them. I tried my best and finally succeeded. Then, grammar became easier, just as Joan had promised.In addition to singing the prepositions, she shared other useful language points. I still remembered her catchy phrase: “Good better best, never let it rest, until your good is better, and your better is best.”After high school, I went to college, majoring (主修) in — my parents couldn't believe it — English! In a creative writing class in my junior year, I recited the prepositions for my professor and classmates. I explained how my eighth grade teacher, Joan, had often said that a strategically placed prepositional phrase could add depth and variety to sentences. Impressed, my professor asked for a copy of Joan's list and other tricks of the trade that I remembered.After graduating from college, I landed a job teaching eighth grade English. I tried best the way Joan had to make grammar easy. I started the unit with prepositions coming first. Memorization was the important part. Before long, the students were singing the prepositions to their favorite tunes. One year, since it was near Christmas, we all sang the prepositions to “Jingle Bells”．I also required students to recite the prepositions in ten seconds or less. If you thought that was impossible, then you didn't know eighth graders. They welcomed any trouble, and with no homework as a motivator, they got right down to business. I pulled out a stopwatch and timed the students daily to judge their progress; 21, 16, 12, then bingo, 10 seconds!I taught eighth grade English for thirty­eight years. Looking back, teaching English was a tough but worthwhile job, and I loved it every day.语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的英语老师Joan教语法的独特方法对他的影响。1．Why were Joan's students asked to memorize prepositions?
