I was teaching in a small town in Ohio where my twenty-seven third graders eagerly anticipated the great day of gifts giving.A t
3、ree covered with tinsel(闪光片的) and gaudy(艳丽的) paper chains graced one corner. In another rested a manger(食槽) scene produced from cardboard and poster paints by chubby(微胖的), and sometimes grubby(不干净的), hands. Someone had brought a doll and placed it on the straw in the cardboard box that served as the
4、 manger. It didnt matter that you could pull a string and hear the blue-eyed, golden-haired dolly say, “My name is Susie.“ “But Jesus was a boy baby!“ one of the boys proclaimed. Nonetheless, Susie stayed.Each day the children produced some new wonderstrings of popcorn, hand-made trinkets, and Germa
5、n bells made from wallpaper samples, which we hung from the ceiling. Through it all she remained aloof(避开的), watching from afar(遥远地), seemingly miles away. I wondered what would happen to this quiet child, once so happy, now so suddenly withdrawn. I hoped the festivities would appeal to her. But not
6、hing did. We made cards and gifts for mothers and dads, for sisters and brothers, for grandparents, and for each other. At home the students made the popular fried marbles and vied(竞争) with one another to bring in the prettiest ones. “You put them in a hot frying pan, Teacher. And you let them get r
7、eal hot, and then you watch what happens inside. But you dont fry them too long or they break. “ So, as my gift to them, I made each of my students a little pouch for carrying their fried marbles. And I knew they had each made something for me. bookmarks carefully cut, colored, and sometimes pasted
8、together; cards and special drawings; liquid embroidery doilies, hand-fringed, of course.The day of gift-giving finally came. We oohed and aahed over our handiwork as the presents were exchanged. Through it all, she sat quietly watching. I had made a special pouch for her, red and green with white l
9、ace. I wanted very much to see her smile. She opened the package so slowly and carefully. I waited but she turned away. I had not penetrated the wall of isolation she had built around herself.After school the children left in little groups, chattering about the great day yet to come when long hoped-
10、for two-wheelers and bright sleds would appear beside their trees at home. She lingered, watching them bundle up and go out of the door. I sat down in a child-sized chair to catch my breath, hardly aware of what was happening, when she came to me with outstretched hands, bearing a small white box, u
11、nwrapped and slightly soiled, as though it had been held many times by unwashed, childish hands.She said nothing. “For me?“ I asked with a weak smile. She said not a word, but nodded her head. I took the box and gingerly opened it. There inside, glistening green, a fried marble hung from a golden ch
12、ain. Then I looked into that elderly eight-year-old face and saw the question in her dark brown eyes. In a flash I knewshe had made it for her mother, a mother she would never see again, a mother who would never hold her or brush her hair or share a funny story, a mother who would never again hear h
13、er childish joys or sorrows. A mother who had taken her own life just three weeks before.I held out the chain. She took it in both her hands, reached forward, and secured the simple clasp at the back of my neck. She stepped back then as if to see that all was well. I looked down at the shiny piece o
14、f glass and the tarnished golden chain, then back at the giver. I meant it when I whispered,“ Oh, Maria, it is so beautiful. She would have loved it. “Neither of us could stop the tears. She stumbled into my arms and we wept together. And for that brief moment I became her mother, for she had given

37、ity is seldom questioned, either because it is highly respected, or because it is (36) . Sometimes, too, because (37) has been important in certain societies for a long time, people have been trained never to question those in authority. In other countries, (38) America, children are trained to ques
38、tion and search for answers. When a child asks a question, he will be often told to go to the library and find the answer for himself. By the time students reach the age of 14 or 15, they may be (39) exciting new ideas in all fields of science and the arts. To encourage such creativity, there are ma

(44) . However, this is because many Americans have d
40、ifferent attitudes toward authority that may exist in other areas of the world. In a work or business situation, ideas are freely and openly discussed and argued. (45) . The two are quite separate. The purpose of the searching, questioning, and arguing is to find the facts in a particular situation,

In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of (48) them; our purpose is to fit them for life. As soon as we realize this fact, we will understand that it is very important to
43、choose a good way of education which will really prepare children for life.In many modern countries it has for some time been (49) to think that, by free education for allwhether rich or poor, clever or (50) one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see
44、 that free education for all is not enough: we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees than there are jobs for them to fill. Because of their degree, they refused to do what they think “low“ work; and in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and (51) in su

In countries where there are no (54) because nobody is wiling to do such work, the professors have to waste much of their time doing housework.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated.to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of u
47、s can do whatever job is (55) to his brain and ability, and secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be unwilling to do ones work, or to laugh at someone elses. Only such a (56) of education can be valuable to society.(分数:90.00)填空项 1:_填空项 1:_填空
