A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the languages he uses and the languages those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like the other peoples. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle compare their own performances 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 that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer to that problem is, whether or not this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he cant find the way to get the right answer. Lets end all this nonsense of grades, exams, and marks. Let us throw them all out, let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn and how to measure their own understanding, and how to know what they know or do not know. Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learned at school and used for the rest of ones life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world?” Dont worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.ABDBC41. What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things?A. By copying what other people do.B. By making mistakes and having them corrected.C. By listening to explanations from skilled people.D. By asking a great many questions.42. What does the author think teachers do which they should not do?A. They give children correct answers.B. They point out childrens mistakes to them.C. They allow n to mark their own work.D. They encourage children to copy from one another.43. The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are _.A. not really important skillsB. more important than other skillsC. basically different from learning adults skillsD. basically the same as learning other skills44. Exams, grades and marks should be abolished because childrens progress should be estimated only by_.A. educated person B. the children themselves C. teachers D. parents45.

For the same year, men had average weekly earning of $ 393. For some people, these figures are clear evidence that there is still sex discrimination in the area of pay in the situation, we find that certain occupations seem to be primarily female while others seem to be primarily male occupations. In the medical and legal professions, for example, statistics show that 85% of all doctors and lawyers are men (although this situation is changing). More than 90% of all engineers are men. Women, however, have been the majority for a long time in other occupations. For example, 99 out of every 100 secretaries are women, and 95% of all nurses are female. From these statistics, it is clear that women tend to enter certain occupations and not others. The occupations which they enter are often in service industries and often have one common feature: They do not pay well. It can be argued that this is the principal reason for the difference in earnings between men and women. In addition, we can expect the pay situation to change in the future, because more qualified women are beginning careers in medicine, law, business, scientific research, and engineering.BBDBC46. What jobs have typically been held by women?A. Jobs as doctors and lawyers.B. Jobs in service industries.C. Jobs in areas without sex discrimination.D. Jobs in areas where women are respected.47. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. The majority of people working in medical professions are male.B. There is still a difference between the earnings of men and women.C. The difference between mens pay and womens pay will become larger and larger.D. Women and men will exchange their jobs in most areas.48. In the opinion of the writer, why do women still earn less money than men?A. Some professions are not suitable for women.B. The principle of “equal pay for equal work” isnt observed.C. It is very difficult to change peoples attitude towards the roles of women.D. Women are often in the majority in low-paying jobs.49. According to the passage, what can we expect in the legal profession in the future?A. There will be more male lawyers.B. The number of female lawyers will increase.C. The salaries of female lawyers will increase.D. Male and female lawyers will get equal pay.50. What is the authors attitude towards the U.S. bureau of Labor Statistics?A. Critical B. Supportive. C. Negative. D. Encouraging3In most people the left side of the brain deals with such things as logic, language, reasoning, numbers, and analysis, the so-called” academic” activities. While the left side is engaged in these activities, the right side is in the “alpha wave” or resting state. The right side if the brain deals with rhythm, music, visual imagines and imagination, color, parallel processing, day-dreaming, face recognition, and pattern or map recognition.Research showed that when people were encouraged to develop a mental area they had previously considered weak, this development, rather than detracting from other areas, seemed to produce an effect in which all areas of mental performance improved.At first glance history seemed to deny this finding, for most of the “great brains” appeared very irregular in mental terms: Einstein and other scientists seemed to be mostly” left-brains” dominant, while Picasso and other artists and musicians appeared to be “right brain” dominant.A more thorough investigation, however, discovered some fascinating facts: Einstein failed mathematics at elementary school, but numbered, among his other activities, violin playing, art, sailing, and imagination games.Einstein gave credit to his imagination games for many of his more significant scientific insights. While day-dreaming on a hill on a summer day, he imagined riding sunbeams to outer space, and upon finding himself returned, “illogically”, to the surface of the sun, he realized that the universe must indeed be curved, and that his previous” logical “ training was incomplete. The numbers, formulas(公式) and words he wrapped around this new image gave us the theory of relativity a left and right brain combination.Similarly the great artists turned out to be “both-brained”. Rather than notebooks filled with stories of drunken parties, and paint splashed on randomly to produce masterpieces, a good example of just how an artist works was found as follows:Up at 6 a.m. Spent the seventeenth day on painting six of the latest series. Mixed four parts orange with two parts yellow to produce color combination which I placed in upper left-hand corner of canvas, to act in visual opposition to spiral structures in lower right-hand corner, producing desired balance in eye of the perceiver.DBCBA51. The right side of the brain deals with_A. analysis B. languageC. reasoning D. day-dreaming52. The right brain activity that Einstein was good at was_A. mathematics B. violin playingC. logic D. analysis53. Einstein gave credit for many of his significant scientific insights to_A. map recognition B. musicC. imagination games D. rhythm54. One of the imagination games that helped Einstein develop the theory of relativity was _.A. kite flying B. a trip to outer space and backC. sailing a boat D. mathematics55. The artists notebook shows his work to include_A. only left brain activity B. Only right brain activityC. both left and right brain activity D. a balance of art and logic4When I was studying at Yale, some phenomena puzzled me greatly. I found that Chinese students or Asian students were very polite in class while American students often interrupted the professor, asking questions and dominating the discussion. The Chinese students were not as aggressive as American students.I was impressed by the role of the professor in the seminar(讨论会). The professor didnt act as an authority, giving
