Some youngsters receive payments of as much as 100 for each A grade they obtain at GSCE. But would such“bribes”be based on exam performance or should they, as many parents and teachers feel, be offered in recognition of a childs effort, regardless of results? The later approach would solve the problems of how parents reward children with different levels of ability; imagine, for example, a family with one child who is academically gift and another who has learning difficulties. The dangers of result-relating incentives for the second child are clear; with little hope of obtaining the higher grades, the withholding of promised financial rewards would only compound of the childs feeling of false. However, some leading educational psychologists believe that parents should rely in their own judgments in such matters. They maintain that if parents know that money will motivate their child, then they should not be condemned for operating a system of cash payouts.改错题翻译题1. 他在学校的表现还没有达到他父母的期望。(live up to)His performance at school hasnt lived up to his parents expectations.2. 他的伟大之处在于他一生坚持不懈地追求自己的目标。(lie in)His greatness lies in he spent his lifetime in pursuing his goal persistently.3. 当你以积极的态度对待生活时，生活会呈现新的面貌。（take on）When you treat your life in a positive attitude, the life will take on a new look.4. 教育部要求，课外活动应作为学校生活的一部分。（require）The Department of Education requires that extracurricular should be a part of campus life.5. 唯一重要的事情就是要平安回家。（matter）The only thing which matters is coming home in safe.6. 体育运动可以防止发胖，增强体质，使我们保持身体健康。（prevent from）Sports activities could prevent us from getting weight and strengthen our body so that we could keep fit.7. 尽管计算机有许多优点，但是它们不能进行创造性工作，也不能代替人。（状语从句）Although computers have lots of advantages, they could neither do creative work nor take the place of human beings.8. 我们一直在这儿讨论的区别是实际操作技术而不是理论背景。（rather than）The difference we are discussing here is practical operation rather than theoretical background.9. 人们应该相互学习，取长补短。（so that）People should learn each other so that they could overcome their weaknesses.10. 旅游业是全世界最大的雇主，全球10%的工作岗位都是由旅游业创造的。（account for）Tourism is the biggest employer in the globe.
