Passage Two

The voice heard in the video belongs to mathematics teacher Jake Scott. Most of the performers are his students. (13) Watching videos is not part of their daily routine but it is one of the essential course materials in Scott's classes at Montgomery Blair High School in a Washington suburb.

(13) "I use rap because it is something that appeals to the students, also because music aids with memory," Scott explains. "So, if I can come up with rap and organize it and present it to the students, then that's helping the students to memorize it."

Scott started using rap videos three years ago. So far he has produced nine, including YouTube favorites "Triangle Experts" and "Quadratic Formulatic," which have been viewed tens of thousands of times. "It is fun and the whole process is something that students appreciate," Scott says.

In recent years, Scott has made a special effort to help students from other countries. (14) "When they come here, their language skills are not up to par. So they are often times placed on a remedial level which is very low. Some of the students get discouraged and drop out," he states. "So I decide to focus on this group of students because many of those students are very capable."

Scott was recognized as an outstanding educator last year by the Montgomery County Council. He was also honored as 2011 teacher of the year by an African-American civil rights organization. (15) Jake Scott says he wants mathematics to be something that students look forward to learning. And he says the results will help them on a path to college and a career.

13. What does Jake Scott do to make mathematics fun?
14. Why did Jake Scott make a special effort to help overseas students?
15. What's the dream of Jake Scott?

文章二

视频中的声音是数学老师杰克·斯科特的+r3TNvdNeN4NHS&6l1。多数表演者都是他的学生qN=@|=nMAQ2_。观看视频并不是他们日常琐事中的一部分，但是这已成为华盛顿郊区布莱尔高中杰克·斯科特老师的主要课堂材料之一ysQw3QjSTA8@~o)Fux.。

“我用说唱视频来教学是因为这能吸引学生，而且音乐能够帮助学生记忆i|COw5J%H9s%;VO_z~。”斯科特说hG*R)2Y^a2[F,。“所以，如果我能想出说唱并组织好它们，把它们呈献给学生，那就能够帮助学生记忆-w323Xb(^^VuqA,%2Ry。”

斯科特三年前开始使用说唱视频#1iv;,udZ08]^3a。现在他已经制作出了九首，包括YouTube上受人喜爱的“三角形专家”和“二次方程式”，点击量已达几十万7V^Vrgi%]mw52。“这很有趣，而且整个过程学生们都很喜欢|U69o(n!fh8^BX^|t3[。”斯科特说p;3DQ(]-;;MP7YgJFq。

近几年来，斯科特都在特别努力地帮助其他国家的学生!5=~jwLA-YI)。“他们来这儿以后，语言水平不过关6HN&SGN[Jj]YHLHNsOO。所以他们经常花费大量时间在很基础的补习水平上1LATnOC(!FlGKc3LNg。一些学生因此灰心丧气甚至辍学，”他说j3EsfNOdcs。“所以我决定多关注这类学生，因为这些学生中有很多都是很有潜力的MLKVI7F]|#H,53。”

去年蒙哥马利县议会将斯科特评为杰出教育家DMglV5!oiQ00N1。他还被一个非裔美国公民权利组织评为2011年度教师3sIq&rn5Fvk.LD4n28。杰克·斯科特说他希望数学能成为学生盼望学习的东西q,ki=q[!*y~XY;=bhy。而其结果是帮助学生进入大学并找到工作T)X;,#5[#&9CCZQC|^5。
