Unit 1Key to ExercisesPart I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:Ways of learning is the topic of this unit. It is also the topic of the song you are about to listen to, called Teach Your Children sung by Crosby, Stills and Nash.Teach Your ChildrenCrosby, Stills and NashYou, who are on the road,Must nav a code that you can live by.And so, becom ee yourselr,Because the past is just a goodbye.Teach your cbildren well,Their lathers hell did slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,The one they picks, the one youll mow by.Dont you ever ash them why, ir they told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.Appendix I- 93 -And you, oi tender years,Cant know the rears that your elders grew by.Ana so please help them with your youtb,They seek the truth before tbey can die.Teacb your parents well,Tbeir childrens bell will slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,Tbe one tbey picks, tbe one youll know by.Don t you ever ask them why, ir tbey told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know tbey love you.The first part of die song is about how parents can inspire their children through sharing with them their dreams, their hopes for a better life. It starts with advice on how you need a set of rules, a code diat you can live by, to guide you on the road of life. Only then will you be able to fully realise all that is within you and become yourself. Therefore, parents need to teach their children well.And children you of tender years also have something to teach their parents, for learning is not a one-way street. Children should share their own dreams with their parents so that young and old can get to understand each otiier better.That said, one should not go too far. For some things are perhaps better left unsaid between parents and children. Dont you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry. At such moments all that there is left to do is to look at one another and sigh, happy in each otiiers love.Part II Text A Text Organization1. 1) The text begins with an anecdote/incident.2) His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3) He winds up the text with a suggestion in die form of a question.Points for Comparison/ContrastChineseAmericans1) ways to learn to accomplish a taskshow a child how to do something, or teach by holding his handteach children that they should rely on themselves for solutions to problems2) attitudes to creativity and skillsgive greater priority to developing skills at an early age, believing creativity can be promoted over timeput more emphasis on fostering creativity in young children, thinking skills can be picked up later1.

From what she has gathered, some of the teaching staff have neglected their pupils. She has just announced that strict work regulations have been made and that they apply to both Chinese and overseas teachers.3) The teacher-directed and the child-directed approaches to teaching art represent two extremes of opinion. Too many teacher-directed activities cannot be expected to effectively assist children in learning because of the rigid structure. On the other hand, too many child-directed activities may see a curriculum that is totally unstructured and out of control. There are valid reasons to believe a teacher-guided approach would be a superior way to guide childrens development. This approach combines some form of structure with the child leading the direction.II.

Creativity and basic skills need to be considered in terms of being means to an end, rather than simply as ends in themselves . Some Chinese students may not perform well in hypothetical settings ,but when it comes to facing real life challenges and issues ,they are more than competent in resolving most of them, equipped as they are with their strong skill .The U.S. system may be designed to aim more at producing top of the cream students ,but that approach may do damage to the big bulk of the rest of the student body .The Chinese education system is definitely not perfect ,but it does produce a quality workforce ,And I truly believe that solid basic knowledge/skill focus is the single biggest force driving the rise of Chinese as a country . 翻译：真正的挑战是我们老师结合最好的两个世界成一个。创造力和基本技能需要在被指一个结束来考虑，而不是简单地作为自己的目标。一些中国学生可能不假设设置执行好，但说到面临现实生活中的挑战和问题，他们更比解决他们大多数主管 设置，因为他们与他们的技能强。美国的制度可能是设计目的地生产极品学生，但方法可能会损害学生的身体其它的体积大。中国的教育体系是肯定不完美，但它会产生一个质量的劳动力，而且我真的相信，扎实的基础知识和技能的重点是单最大的驱动力的中国作为一个崛起的国家。II.
