29、10.00)Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the differences between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he
30、 makes the necessary changes to make his language like other peoples. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught - to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle - compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make
31、 the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dep
32、endent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer to that problem is, whether or not this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or
33、 science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he cant find the way to get the right answer. Lets end all this nonsense of grades, exams, and marks. Let us throw the
34、m all out, let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn and how to measure their own understanding, and how to know what they know or do not know. Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it. T
35、he idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learned at school and used for the rest of ones life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the wo
36、rld?“ Dont worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.（分数：10.00）(1).What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things? A. By copying what other people do. B. By making mistakes and having them corrected. C. By listening to explanations from skilled
37、people. D. By asking a great many questions.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What does the author think teachers do what they should not do? A. They give children correct answers. B. They point out childrens mistakes to them. C. They allow children to mark their own work. D. They encourage children to copy from
38、 one another.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are _. A. not really important skills B. more important than other skills C. basically different from learning adult skills D. basically the same as learning other skills（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).

The authorities promised that it would not happen again. Pessimists were certain that it would occur again within f
41、ive years at the latest. In July 1997,there was a repeat performance which produced varying degrees of chaos throughout the city of eight million people. In 1965,the failure occurred in the cool autumn and at a time of comparative prosperity. In 1997,tha disaster was much more serious because it cam
42、e when unemployment was high and the city was suffering from one of its worst heat waves.In 1965, there was little crime or looting during the darkness, and fewer than a hundred people were arrested. In 1997, hundreds of stores were broken into and looted. Looters smashed shop windows and helped the
43、mselves to jewelry, clothes or television sets. Nearly 4 000 people were arrested but far more disappeared into the darkness of the night. The number of policemen available was quite inadequate and they wisely refrained from using their guns against mobs which far outnumbered them and included armed
44、 men.Hospitals had to treat hundreds of people cut by glass from shop windows. Banks and most businesses remained closed the next day. The blackout started at 9:30 p.m., when lightning hit and knocked out vital cables. Many stores were thus caught by surprise.The vast majority of New Yorkers, howeve
45、r, were not involved in looting. They helped strangers, distributed candles and batteries, and tried to survive in a nightmare world without traffic lights, refrigerators, elevators, water and electrical power. For twenty-four hours, New York realized how helpless it was without electricity.（分数：10.0
