A child l

27、earning 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 difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other

28、 peoples. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things they learn to do without being taughtto walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicyclecompare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance

29、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 dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, w

30、ith the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be hi mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why

31、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, marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must some da

32、y learn, how to measure their own understanding, 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. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for th

33、e 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 world?“ Dont worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn i

35、thor think teachers do which they should not do?（分数：2.00）A.(A) They give children correct answers.B.(B) They point out childrens mistakes to them.C.(C) They allow children to mark their own work.D.(D) They encourage children to copy from one another.(3).The passage suggests that learning to speak an

36、d learning to ride a bicycle are _.（分数：2.00）A.(A) not really important skillsB.(B) more important than other skillsC.(C) basically different from learning adult skillsD.(D) basically the same as learning other skills(4).Exams, grades and marks should be abolished because childrens progress should on

38、o use basic skillsA wise man once said that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. So, as a police officer, I have some urgent things to say to good people.Day after day my men and I struggle to hold back a tidal wave of crime. Something has gone terribly wro

39、ng with our once-proud American way of life. It has happened in the area of values. A key ingredient is disappearing, and I think I know what it is: accountability.Accountability isnt hard to define. It means that every person is responsible for his or her actions and liable for their consequences.O

40、f the many values that hold civilization togetherhonesty, kindness, and so on accountability may be the most important of all. Without it, there can be no respect, no trust, no law-and, ultimately, no society.My job as a police officer is to impose accountability on people who refuse, or have never

41、learned, to impose it on themselves. But as every policeman knows, external controls on peoples behavior are far less effective than internal restraints such as guilt, shame and embarrassment.Fortunately there are still communitiessmaller towns, usuallywhere schools maintain discipline and where par

42、ents hole up standards that proclaim: “In this family certain things are not toleratedthey simply are not done!“Yet more and more, especially in our larger cities and suburbs, these inner restraints are loosening. Your typical robber has none. He considers your property his property; he takes what h

43、e wants, including your life if you enrage him.The main cause of this break-down is a radical shift in attitudes. Thirty years ago, if a crime was committed, society was considered the victim. Now, in a shocking reversal, its the criminal who is considered victimized: by his underprivileged upbringi

44、ng, by the school that didnt teach him to read, by the church that failed to reach him with moral guidance, by the parents who didnt provide a stable home.I dont believe it. Many others in equally disadvantaged circumstances choose not to engage in criminal activities. If we free the criminal, even

45、partly, from accountability, we become a society of endless excuses where no one accepts responsibility for anything.We in America desperately need more people who believe that the person who commits a crime is the one responsible for it.（分数：10.00）(1).What the wise man said suggests that _.（分数：2.00）A.(A) its unnecessary for good people to do anything in face of evilB.(B) Its certain that evil will prevail if good men do nothing about itC.(C) its only natural for virtue to defeat evilD.(D) its desirable for good men to keep away from evil(2).According to the author, if
