The actor has to speak words which be has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the s
18、ame words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually fixed beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem natural on the stage.A good teacher works in quite a different way. His audience takes
19、an active part in his play; they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they dont understand something, they say no. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his audience, which is his class. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must invent it as he goes along. 32 The

25、 the year; and so on and so forth. All this makes it difficult to decide exactly how much the tax is.There was a certain artist who was always very careful to pay the proper amount.One year, after posting his check as usual, he began to wonder if he had paid enough, and after a lot of work, with a p
26、encil and paper, decided that he had not. He believed that he owed the government something.He was just writing another check to send to the tax-collector when the postman dropped a letter into the box at the front door. Opening it, the artist was surprised to find inside it a check for five pounds

35、ons in an unnatural environment.

Thus, most undersea vehicleparticularly remote-operated vehiclesoperated at the end of long ropes.For a similar reason, knowing where you are undersea is much more difficult than in space. A spaceships position can be located by following its radio signal, or b
38、y using telescopes and radar.
