So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to
undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children
to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities
about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop
trying to do the impossible."
Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function.
The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for
children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a
public activity: It can be seen and observed.
Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed
language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process
is not open to public scrutiny.
If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching
that will aid the child in the quest (探索) for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all
teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful,
enjoyable and frequent experience for children."
When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and
learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is
eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children
are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.
B. students spend endless hours in reading
C. reading tasks are assigned with little guidance
D. too much time is spent in teaching about reading
B. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of readi
ngC. teachers can devise the most efficient system for reading

举一反三
parents take one day off on weekends to be with their family. __2__ What children want and need most
is to spend time with their parents, not with toys or taking part in activities. But with more and more people working on weekends, many children of school age don"t see their parents anywhere near as often as they should. __3__ The movement is designed for families of all types and sizes under increasing pressure to
work on weekends. Because weekends are the very time when school age children are at home and in
need of their parents. We are going to put forward a Family Day Bill (议案) to the government. __4__ It
is aimed to solve the problems of increasing "shift (换班的) parenting" and of young children being left
"home alone" on weekends. __5__ If parents have a day off, they can spend a lot of time and energy with their children to share their happiness.
B. The law is likely to make sure that parents take good care of their children.
C. Our aim is mainly to encourage parents to spend time with their children.
D. An American set up the organization.
E. It would give every parent of children under the age of 16 the right in law to a weekend day off each
week.
F. Our time is the most important thing that we can give our children.
G. Parents who do not share enough time with their children are to blame.
are unavoidably at the bottom of the list. Music is nice, people seem to say, but not important.
Too often it is viewed as mere entertainment, but certainly not an education priority (优先).This
view is shortsighted. In fact, music education is beneficial and important for all students.
Music tells us who we are. Because music is an expression of the beings who create it, it
reflects their thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from. Rock music
represents a lifestyle just as surely as a Schubert song. The jazz influence that George Gershwin
and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from
American musical traditions. Music expresses our character and values. It gives us identity as
a society.
Music provides a kind of perception(感知)that cannot be acquired any other way. Science
can explain how the sun rises and sets. The arts explore the emotional meaning of the same
phenomenon. We need every possible way to discover and respond to our world for one
simple but powerful reason: No one way can get it all.
The arts are forms of thought as powerful in what they communicate as mathematical and
scientific symbols. They are ways we human beings "talk" to each other. They are the language
of civilization through which we express our fears, our curiosities, our hungers, our discoveries,
and our hopes. The arts are ways we give form to our ideas and imagination so that they can
be shared with others. When we do not give children access to an important way of expressing
themselves such as music, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses.
Science and technology do not tell us what it means to be human. The arts do. Music is an
important way we express human suffering, celebration, the meaning and value of peace and love.
So music education is far more necessary than people seem to realize.
B. disagree with their parents on education
C. view music as an overlooked subject
D. prefer the arts to science
B. show music reflects a society
C. introduce American musical traditions
D. prove music influences people"s lifestyles
B. explore different phenomena of the world
C. express people"s feelings in different ways
D. explain what it means to be human differently
B. Music should be of top education priority.
C. Music is an effective communication tool.
D. Music education makes students more imaginative. "
nose, a totem design on her arm and she has a small child in her shopping trolley, what would your
opinion be? Do you think this kind of body decoration is attractive or ugly? Different people have different ideas. The following are some examples of body decoration from around the world.
In many parts of Africa, it is thought that an attractive girl should have really shinny skin. On Bali, a little island in Indonesia, they believe that a beautiful woman or a handsome man must have perfectly straight,
flat teeth. The Balinese believe that teeth with pointed edges make you look like an ugly wild animal. So
when a girl or boy becomes a teenager, he or she is taken to a special person in their village who will file
off teeth points to make them smooth and flat. There is no anesthetic and this tooth filing is really painful. It
is a kind of test. If you can stand it without screaming or crying too much, then you are thought ready to
become an adult.
In Myanmar, there is a small group of people who are called the "Padaung". They believe that a woman can only be really beautiful if she has a long neck. I mean a VERY long neck. Now you might think that
you are either born with a long or short neck and that there"s nothing whatever you can do about it. But
you would be wrong! At around the age of 5, a Padaung girl has heavy metal rings fitted around her neck,
tightly between the chin and shoulders. Each year more rings are added and very, very slowly their weight pushes the shoulders down, in this way making the neck look longer. A Padaung woman will wear her
neck rings all her life, never once taking them off.
So now I"m sure you will all agree that different people have different ideas about what is beautiful.
B. Beautiful body decoration.
C. Attractive decoration.
D. Body decoration.
B. luggage
C. shopping cart
D. basket
B. a person with straight, flat teeth looks ugly
C. a teenager"s teeth points must be filed off with anesthetic
D. no one will scream or cry when having his teeth points filed off
B. Many people think that woman with a ring through nose is neither attractive nor ugly.
C. It is thought that a beautiful woman should have straight, flat teeth on Bali.
D. Some people think it beautiful that a woman has a long neck in Myanmar.
B. Inner beauty
C. Different Ideas about Beautiful
D. Body Decoration
| A If the person has stopped breathing, you must try to start his/her breathing at once. The best thing is to use the mouth-to-mouth way. Lay the person down with his/her head lower than the rest of his/her body and breathe into his/her mouth. If the person has something stuck in his/her throat, try to remove it with your fingers, or by hitting him/her on the back. |
