2014高考英语阅读理解基础训练题（108）及答案【广东省2012届高三考前冲刺卷(二)】cthere is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling.no school i have taught in has ever considered spelling unimportant as a basic skill.there are，however，quite different ideas about how to teach it，or how much priority it must be given over general language development and writing ability.the problem is，how to encourage a child to express himself freely in writing without holding him back with spelling.if spelling becomes the only point of his teachers interest，clearly a bright child will be likely to “play_safe”he will write only words within his spelling range.thats why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.i was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience：“this work is terrible！there are far too many spelling mistakes.” it may have been a sharp criticism of the pupils technical abilities in writing，but it was also a sad thing for the teacher who had omitted(略过) to read the composition，which contained some beautiful expressions of the childs deep feelings.the teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the mistakes，but if his priority had concentrated on the childs ideas，an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more hope to seek improvement.36teachers differ in their opinions about_.athe difficulties in teaching spellingbthe role of spelling in general language developmentcthe importance of the

broadly categorized(把归类) as honor help you create this life of good feelings. heres an example to show how honorable actions create happiness. say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. if we keep silent, and profit from the clerks mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky(卑鄙的) excitement. later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. on the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. we would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul. then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness? in the first case, where we dont tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. in the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. we would also demonstrate(演示) that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. we damage our own reputations by telling others. in contrast, bringing the error to the clerks attention causes different things to happen. immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility. there is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. and its easy to think and act honorably again when were happy. while the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once its started, its easy to continue. keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.16. according to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to our_. a. self-respect b. financial rewards c. advertising ability d. friendly relationship17. the author
