I was telling my boy Sonny the story of the hare ( 兔子) and the tortoise ( 烏龜 ). At the end I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady ( 鎮(zhèn)定的), and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”

Sonny opened his eyes wide, “ Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”

I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”

“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”

“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance ( 堅忍不拔的 ), by pushing on steadily.”

Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “ He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.” I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be.

A. he liked tortoises while his son liked hares

B. they disagreed about whether the tortoise was foolish

C. he tried to teach his son a moral ( 品德 )lesson but the son had totally different opinion

3.Billy, Tony and Sandy must be_______________.

A. boys who were unknown to Sonny’s father

B. boys who Sonny has run races with before

We can achieve knowledge either actively or passively. We achieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning.

We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes place in the classroom and the kind that happens when we watch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. Conditioned as we are to passive learning, it’s not surprising that we depend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.

Unfortunately, passive learning has a serious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are told even when it is little more than hearsay(傳聞) and rumor.

Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one person writes down a message but doesn’t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. That person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, through all the people playing the game. The last person writes down the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the two written statements are compared. Typically, the original message has changed.

That’s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people repeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping it with their own personal style. Yet those who hear it think they know.

This process is also found among scholars and authors: A statement of opinion by one writer may be restated as fact by another, who may in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process may continue, unless it occurs to someone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon those facts.

1.According to the passage, active learning may occur in ________.

A. reading scientific journals

B. listening to the teacher in class

C. doing a chemical experiment

D. watching news programmes on TV

2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. Classroom. B. Newspapers.

C. Active learning. D. Passive learning.

3.The game Rumor is mentioned in Paragraph 4 in order to tell readers that ________.

A. playing games can make people more active

B. people tend to like telling lies when playing games

C. a message may be changed when being passed on

D. people may have problems with their sense of hearing

4.What can be inferred from the text?

A. Scholars and authors can’t be trusted.

B. Passive learning may not be reliable.

C. People like spreading rumors in daily life.

D. Active learning is more Important than passive learning.
