18、35 There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it and how to encourage a child to write wit

19、hout holding hiw back with the complexities of spelling. If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teachers interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe“. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. Thats why teachers oft

20、en encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability. I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a piece of writing about a personal experience: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is not neat.“ It may have

21、 been a sharp criticism of the pupils technical abilities in writing. But it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the childs deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors. But if his prior

22、ities had centred on the childs ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the writing would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.“ 36 What is the authors attitude towards the “popular belief“ mentioned in Para.1? （ A） He agrees to it. （ B） He is opposed to it. （ C） He stand

23、s neutrally (中立地 ) about it. （ D） He says nothing about it. 37 Teachers encourage the early use of dictionaries because it helps _. （ A） students learn how to use dictionaries （ B） students improve their expression in writing （ C） teachers know the progress of students writing （ D） teachers pay atte

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 40 All of us communicate

27、with one another verbally (口头的 ) as well as non-verbally. Most of the time we are not aware that were doing it. We wave a hand, meet someone elses eyes or look away, shift positions in a chair. We make these movements unconsciously. But researchers have discovered that there is a system to them almo

28、st as consistent (一致的 ) and comprehensible as language. Every culture has its body language. The way an Englishman crosses his legs is nothing like the way a male American does it. In talking, Americans are likely to end a statement with a lowering of the eyelids. They conclude a question with a lif

29、t of the hand or a widening of the eyes. With a future-tense verb they often gesture with a forward movement. There are regional idioms too. Your sex, ethnic background, social class and personal style all influence your body language. Nevertheless, you move and gesture within a certain idiom. Usual

30、ly, the wordless communication acts to qualify the words. What the non-verbal elements express very often, and very efficiently, is the emotional side of the message.

31、cation through body movement are not prepared to spell out a precise vocabulary of gestures. When an American rubs his nose, it may mean he is disagreeing with someone or rejecting something. But there are other possible interpretations, too. The expert looks for patterns in the context, not for an
