up said Deng Yetao 20 a third year student But it occurred to me that they need more care and love than babies They are afraid of the coming death Their loneliness is worse than physical pains Even though they are suffering a lot the majority of the elderly people want to talk to us Each of them has a lot of life experiences and philosophies to share Instead of doing them a favor I felt I was benefited a lot said Mao Xiaohua another third year student Mao talked with two elderly patients for a whole afternoon The fact that most of the patients in the 80 room clinic are aged people with

altogether by choosing either leisure activities that can be performed in the privacy of one s own house or outdoor activities that follow their interest without direct contact with anyone other than one s own family members such as going for a walk or to the cinema or shopping In recent survey over half of all the leisure activities were of this private domestic type and of the top ten pastimes only two having friends round for a meal or drink and going to the pub could be described as sociable The most domestic activities are the most popular watching TV listening to the radio reading DIY Do It Yourself and gardening Even when the English are being sociable the survey findings show that most of them would much rather entertain a few close friends or relatives in the safety of their own homes than venture out among strangers In the latest rational census survey 人口普查 over half of the entire adult male population had been DIYing in the four weeks before the census date Nearly a third of the female population had also been busily improving their homes and their work with their gardens was equally obvious 52 percent of all English males and 45 percent of females had been out there cutting branches and weeding grass Even among people claiming to belong to a particular religion only two percent attend services every week The rest of the population can be found every Sunday at their local garden center or DIY superstore And when they want a break from caring about their own homes and gardens they go on trips to visit bigger and better houses and gardens such as the stately homes and gardens opened to the public by the National Trust and the Royal Horticulture Society Visiting grand country houses always ranks as one of the most popular national pastimes 64 The result of

to defend the old system the parrot fashion way of learning by repeating what others say of learning lessons the grammar with a whip 鞭子 system which was good enough for our grandparents The theories of modern psychology have stepped in to argue that we must understand the needs of our children Children are not just small adults they are children who must be respected as such Well you may say this is as it should be and a good idea But think further What happens Education becomes the responsibility not of teachers But of psychologists What happens then Teachers worry too much about the psychological implications 暗示 of their lessons and forget about the subjects themselves If a child dislikes a lesson the teacher feels that it is his fault not the child s So teachers worry whether history is relevant to modern young children And do they dare to recount stories about violent battles Or will this make the children themselves violent Can they tell their classes about children of different races or will this encourage racial hatred Why teach children to write grammatical sentences Oral expression is better Sums Arithmetic No real life mathematical situations are more understandable You see you can go too far Influenced by educational theorists who have nothing better to do than write books about their ideas teachers leave their teaching training colleges filled with grand psychological ideas about children and their needs They make complicated 复杂 preparations and try out their modern methods on the long suffering children Since one modern method rapidly replaces another the poor kids will have well been fed up by the time they leave school Frequently the modern methods are so complicated that they fail to be understood by the teachers let alone the children even more often 用心 爱心 专心 5 the relaxed discipline so necessary for the informal feeling the class must have prevents all but a handful of children from learning anything 68 Under the old
