Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; _________________, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way children, learning to do all the other things without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare their own performances(表現(xiàn))with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he became dependent on the teacher.
Why should we teachers waste time on such tiring work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let’s end all this nonsense(荒謬的)of grades, exams and marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.
We should, of course, offer help to them just as they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated(復(fù)雜的)and rapidly changing as ours. Don’t worry! If something is basic, they will go out into the world and learn it.

解析試題分析:讓孩子們自己評(píng)判他們的學(xué)習(xí),讓他們自己去發(fā)現(xiàn)錯(cuò)誤并自己改正錯(cuò)誤。作者為老師,應(yīng)該轉(zhuǎn)變以前那種給學(xué)生指出錯(cuò)誤并監(jiān)督他們改正的教學(xué)觀念,注重培養(yǎng)孩子獨(dú)立思考和判斷的能力。
【小題1】根據(jù)第一段“Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time ...But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them.”可知,文章大意說(shuō)的是,讓孩子學(xué)會(huì)自己評(píng)判他們的工作,老師要給孩子自學(xué)的機(jī)會(huì)。故填Let children judge their own work. /Let children learn by themselves. /Give children chances to learn by themselves.
【小題2】根據(jù)第一段“We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to.”可知,老師認(rèn)為,如果不給孩子指出錯(cuò)誤,他就不會(huì)注意到那個(gè)錯(cuò)誤;如果不讓孩子去改正錯(cuò)誤,他就不會(huì)去改正。故填We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to.
【小題3】根據(jù)“A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time”中的all the time可知,不應(yīng)該一直提醒孩子要糾正錯(cuò)誤,而應(yīng)該讓孩子自己發(fā)現(xiàn)并加以改正。故填I(lǐng)f (he is) corrected too much/frequently/too often。
【小題4】根據(jù)第二段“Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer.”和第三段“We should, of course, offer help to them just as they ask for it.”可知,老師應(yīng)該做的事情是,當(dāng)孩子找不到答案向老師求助時(shí),老師才伸出援助之手。故填(A teacher should) offer help when a child asks for it. A teacher should help the child when he can’t find the way to get the right answer.
【小題5】根據(jù)“Let’s end all this nonsense(荒謬的)of grades, exams and marks. Let us throw them all out”中的nonsense可知,作者認(rèn)為分?jǐn)?shù)和考試是沒(méi)有意義的,故填(The author thinks) them (that they are) nonsense /useless/ meaningless/pointless/(that) they make no sense.

Remembering names is an important social skill. Here are some ways to master it.
●Recite and repeat in conversation.
When you hear a person’s name, repeat it. Immediately say it to yourself several times without moving your lips. You could also repeat the name in a way that does not sound forced or artificial.
●Ask the other person to recite and repeat.
You can let other people help you remember their names. After you’ve been introduced to someone, ask that person to spell the name and pronounce it correctly for you. Most people will be pleased by the effort you’re making to learn their names.
●Admit you don’t know.
Admitting that you can’t remember someone’s name can actually make people relaxed. Most of them will feel sympathy if you say. “I’m working to remember names better. Yours is right on the tip of my tongue. What is it again?”
●Use associations.
Link each person you meet with one thing you find interesting or unusual. For example, you could make a mental note: “Vicki Cheng-tall, black hair.” To reinforce your associations, write them on a small card as soon as possible.
●Limit the number of new names you learn at one time.
When meeting a group of people, concentrate on remembering just two or three names. Free yourself from remembering every one. Few of the people in mass introductions expect you to remember their names. Another way is to limit yourself to learning first names. Last names can come later.
●Go early.
Consider going early to clubs, parties and classes. Sometime just a few people show up on time. There’re fewer names for you to remember. And as more people arrive, you can hear them being introduced to other an automatic review for you.
【小題1】If you can’t remember someone’s name, you may ________.
A.tell him the truth |
B.tell him a white lie |
C.a(chǎn)sk him for pity |
D.a(chǎn)sk others to help you |
A.a(chǎn)ll their games |
B.a(chǎn) couple of names first |
C.just their last names |
D.a(chǎn)s many names as possible |
A.Tips on an important social skill. |
B.Importance of attending parties. |
C.How to make use of associations. |

Visit any junior high or high school and you will experience the power of influence. Clothing, hairstyles, attitudes and even the language are all gained by some amount of influence, whether it is from commercials, fashion, trends, celebrities or music. Teens and preteen children are influenced by these various factors. However, a child’s friends are the No. 1 influence.
Before you think your children’s friends could never lead one another astray (誤入歧途的), think again. A child may experience an event that has caused overwhelming stress or may have problems at home or school, which causes negative behavior. Negative influences of a child’s friends can come without warning.
“Parents who ask their children where they are going, who they are going with and request a meeting with their children’s friends and the friends’ parents have already taken the first step,” says Mara Berkley, family therapist and professor at Bristol University in Rhode Island.
Lynn Rexroat of Chillicothe, Illinois, uses this method to keep tabs on her children. “My oldest son knows that in order for him to go anywhere with a friend, especially one I haven’t met before, I have to speak with that friend’s parent to make sure the arrangements are agreeable with us both,” she says. “I don’t interrogate (質(zhì)問(wèn)) them by asking about their private life. I just want to know that the parents of the other child know what the boys are planning to do. I feel that by my wanting to know I am protecting my son.”
When a parent suspects that their child is hanging out with “the wrong crowd”, the last thing on their mind should be discipline. Instead, Berkley says a parent should be more interested in finding out the reasons behind the behaviors and the child’s choice to keep company with these types of friends.
【小題1】We can infer from the second paragraph that .
A.two children usually go astray together |
B.a(chǎn) child can be negatively influenced only when he meets problems |
C.a(chǎn) child can easily go astray under the influence of a friend |
D.parents know exactly when a child is negatively influenced |
A.should track him secretly | B.should not ask him |
C.can stop him going out | D.do something to interfere |
A.She questions his son directly. |
B.She meets his son’s friends herself. |
C.She makes arrangements with the parents of his son’s friends. |
D.She communicates with the parents of his son’s friends. |
A.watch over | B.win over | C.bring back | D.take control of |

Most parents of kids under age 8 don't worry about how much time they spend watching TV or using other media, from computers to smart phones to tablets PCs, according to a new survey that found a child's use of media often reflects how much time parents spend in the similar way.
¨We generally found that media use is not a source of conflict in the home" for families with young children, Ellen Wartella, a researcher from Northwestem University, told USA Today. She led a survey of 2,326 parents who have children 8 and younger.It found that in 80 percent of families, children's media use was not a problem, with 55 percent “not too" or“ not at all" concerned about it. It also showed parents have more positive than negative feelings about how media consumption affects a child's learning and the development of creativity.The exception is video games, which are viewed more negatively than TV, computers or mobile devices.“Parents rated video games as more likely to have a negative effect on children's school performance, attention time, creativity, social skills, behavior and sleep than any other medium," the researchers said in a news conference about the survey.
¨The findings exposes a generational shift (轉(zhuǎn)移) in parental attitudes about technology's role in young children's lives," said Wartella.“Today's parents grew up with technology as a central pact of their lives, so they think about it differently than earlier generations of parents, instead of a battle with kids on one side and parents on the other, the use of media and technology has become a family affair. "
The researchers identified three media environments created by parents: media-centric (39 percent of families) , media-moderate (45%)and media-light (16%). Children in media-centric families spend at least three hours more each day watching TV or using computers, video games and tablet PCs don't make parenting easier.And 88 percent of parents say they are most likely to turn to toys or activities to keep their children occupied.Slightly fewer turn to books (79%) and TV(78%).
The survey didn't look at how media affects children. That's a topic that the American Academy of Pediatrics has handled a number of times. The AAP says studies have found too much media use can lead to attention- problems, school difficulties, sleep and eating disorders and being fat. In addition, the Internet and cell phones can provide platforms for illegal and risky behaviors.¨By limiting screen time and offering educational media and non-electronic formats (格式)such as books, newspapers and board games, and watching television with their children, parents can help guide their children's media experience. Putting questionable content into context and teaching kids a700ut advertising contributes to their media literacy (素養(yǎng)) ," it says.
The pediatricians' group says parents should have “screen-free zones" and TV should be turned off during dinner. At most, it recommends children and teens engage with entertainment media for no more than two hours a day and that should be high-quality content. It is important for kids to spend time on outdoor play, reading, hobbies and using their imaginations in free play.“ Kids under 2 should not use television and other entertainment media because their brains are developing quickly and they learn best from direct human interaction," the group says.
An article on screen time by t.he Mayo Clinic also notes problems linked t.o over screen time, including being fat, irregular sleep , behavioral problems , weak school performance , violence and less time for active and creative play.
【小題1】Parents have more negative than positive feelings about media consumption like .
A.computers | B.smart phones |
C.video games | D.tablets PCs |
A.they can limit the screen time |
B.they want their children happy |
C.they also grew up with technology |
D.they can teach their children themselves |
A.children in media-centric families are smarter than others |
B.children in media-light families spend one hour watching TV |
C.more than half of the parents think children's media use was a problem |
D.media-centric children spend more than three hours each day on media use |
A.try to persuade their children to read books |
B.a(chǎn)sk their children questions while watching TV |
C.a(chǎn)llow their children watching TV or using computers |
D.turn to toys or activities to keep their children occupied |
A.Media use time for babies under 2 should be limited. |
B.Entertainment media use should be high-quality content. |
C.Schools should provide more time for active and creative play. |

Is the ‘Go to College’ Message Overdone?
Even in a weak job market, the old college try isn’t the answer for everyone. A briefing paper from the Brookings Institution warns that “we may have overdone the message” on college, senior fellow Isabel Sawhill said.
“We’ve been telling students and their families for years that college is the only way to succeed in the economy and of course there’s a lot of truth to that,” Ms. Sawhill said. “On average it does pay off… But if you load up on a whole lot of student debt and then you don’t graduate, that is a very bad situation.”
One comment that people often repeat among the years of slow job growth has been the value of education for landing a job and advancing in a career. April’s national unemployment rate stood at 7.5%, according to the Labor Department. The unemployment rate for high-school graduates over 25 years old who hadn’t attended college was 7.4%, compared with 3.9% for those with a bachelor’s degree or more education. The difference is even bigger among those aged 16-24. The jobless rate for those with only a high school diploma in that age group is about 20%. At the same time, recent research by Canadian economists cautions that a college degree is no guarantee of promising employment.
Ms. Sawhill pointed out that among the aspects that affect the value of a college education is the field of one’s major: Students in engineering or other sciences end up earning more than ones who major in the arts or education. The cost of tuition and the availability of financial aid are other considerations, with public institutions generally a better financial bargain than private ones.
She suggested two avenues for improving the situation: increasing vocational(職業(yè)的)-technical training programs and taking a page from Europe’s focus on early education rather than post-secondary learning. “The European countries put a little more attention to getting people prepared in the primary grades,” she said. “Then they have a higher bar for whoever goes to college—but once you get into college, you’re more likely to be highly subsidized(資助).”
She also is a supporter of technical training—to teach students how to be plumbers, welders and computer programmers—because “employers are desperate” for workers with these skills.
【小題1】People usually think that _____.
A.the cost of technical schooling is a problem |
B.one will not succeed without a college degree |
C.technical skills are most important for landing a job |
D.there is an increased competition in getting into a college |
A.Hearing from. | B.Changing from. |
C.Differing from. | D.Learning from. |
A.Public institutions charge more for education. |
B.European universities are stricter with students. |
C.Students with certain skills are in great demand. |
D.Canadian students prefer to major in engineering. |
A.too much stress has been put on the value of college degrees |
B.technical training is more important than college education |
C.a(chǎn) college degree will ensure promising employment |
D.it’s easier for art students to find favorite jobs |

A group of senior high school students are playing outside on a basketball court. They are shouting with excitement. And they all have the same dream. They wish to play in the NBA, just like Huston Rocket’s Yao Ming. “Someday, there will be more Chinese players like Yao in the NBA,” said 15-year-old Xie Tao, a senior 1 boy at Shanghai No. 2 Middle School. Xie always watches Yao playing on TV. “He is a great player. He makes me proud to be Chinese,” he said.

The league is the first national basketball competition for high school students.
Playing basketball is a good way to exercise. But students also enjoy it for other reasons. For Li Yan, a Senior 2 at Shanghai No. 12 Middle School, basketball teaches him lessons in life. “When I am in a game, I feel more confident about my studies, “ he said. “ It also teaches me to have a good team spirit and to enjoy friendship.”

You will go to college some day and college is one of the most exciting stages of one’s life.If you wish to make the most of your campus(校園) experience and become a better person after those four years,then first you ought to make friends.Close friends contribute to your selfgrowth for they provide you with moral support that is so important to survive the stressful college life.Friends can lend a helping hand when necessary like collecting your homework when you’re too sick to leave your dorm,and help you develop the right attitude by pointing out to you your weaknesses.
Being home most of your life and then suddenly finding yourself on your own in a large campus without your parents to hold your hand can be annoying.However,rather than thinking about your missing home too much,why not see this new stage in your life as an opportunity for selfgrowth and develop the right attitude that will prepare you for the rigors of postgraduation life,particularly when you join the workforce?
Specialinterest clubs or organizations are great for selfgrowth.Here,not only do you get the opportunity to meet with likeminded people,you can also discover more things about your field of interest.Club meetings usually include lively discussions,so go there with the right attitude.You should try to build a good name in the organization by being respectful,active and considerate to others.
You might not like all of your professors,but they are there to provide knowledge you need to be successful in your chosen field.Thus,show up for each class with the right attitude and determination to learn.Whether you get along well with your professors or not has a huge effect on your selfgrowth as it is a measure of how well you can respect authority and obey requirements.
Actively participating in a class debate(辯論) or lecture contributes to your selfgrowth as it helps you build confidence in speaking up and improves your communication skills.It also helps you develop the right attitude by exercising diplomacy(外交術(shù)) when you choose your words carefully especially when discussing a very politically sensitive issue and exercising patience when dealing with classmates who shoot down your ideas.

A book review tells not only what a book is about,but also how successful it is at what it is trying to do.Professors often assign book reviews as practice in careful analytical(分析的) reading.
As a reviewer,you bring together the two strands of accurate,analytical reading and strong,personal response when you indicate(指出) what the book is about and what it might mean to a reader(by explaining what it meant to you).In other words,reviewers answer not only the WHAT but the SO WHAT question about a book.Thus,in writing a review,you combine the skills of describing what is on the page,analyzing how the book tried to achieve its purpose,and expressing your own reactions.
Most book reviews start with a heading that includes all the basic information about the book,like:
Title.
Author.
Place of publication,publisher,date of publication.
Number of pages.
Like most pieces of writing,the review usually begins with an introduction that lets your readers know what the review will say.The first paragraph usually includes the author and title again,so your readers don’t have to look up to find this information.You should also include a very brief description of the contents of the book,the purpose or audience for the book,and your reaction and evaluation.
Then you move into a section of background information that helps place the book in context and discusses how to judge the book.Next,you should give a summary of the main points,quoting(引用) and explaining key phrases from the author.Finally,you get to the heart of your review—your evaluation of the book.In this section,you might discuss some of the following issues:
?How well the book has achieved its goal.
?What possibilities are suggested by the book.
?What the book has left out.
?How the book compares with others on the subject.
?What specific points are not convincing.
?What personal experiences you’ve had related to the subject.
It is important to use labels to carefully distinguish your views from the author’s,so that you don’t confuse your readers.
Then,like other essays,you can end with a direct comment on the book,and tie together issues raised in the review in a conclusion.
There is,of course,no set form,but a general rule is that the first onehalf to twothirds of the review should summarize the author’s main ideas and at least onethird should evaluate the book.
【小題1】According to the text,personal response of a book reviewer refers to “________”.
A.a(chǎn)ccurate and analytical reading |
B.the reviewer’s indication of what the book is |
C.the reviewer’s indication of what the book meant to a reader |
D.skills of describing what is on the page |
A.The heading. | B.The evaluation. |
C.The conclusion. | D.The introduction. |
A.there is no heading in a book review |
B.the book review is not complex enough |
C.the reviewer’s point of view is mixed with the author’s |
D.there are some different issues listed in the book review |
A.Steps to read a book. |
