28、)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 make
29、s 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 the need
30、ed 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 dependent o
31、n 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 science
32、 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 them all ou
33、t, 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. The idea
34、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 world?“ Do
35、nt 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.

This might be called laziness, but Dr. Kleitman has a new explanation. He has proved that everyone has a daily energy cycle.During the hours when
40、you labour through your work you may say that you re “hot“. That s true. The time of day when you feel most energetic is when your cycle of body temperature is at its peak. For some people the peak comes during the forenoon. For others it comes in the afternoon or evening. No one has discovered why
41、this is so, but it leads to such familiar monologues as, “Get up, John Yon 11 be late for work again!“ The possible explanation to the trouble is that John is at his temperature-and-energy peak in the evening. Much family quarrelling ends when husbands and wives realize what these energy cycles mean
42、 and which cycle each member of the family has.You can t change your energy cycle, but you can learn to make your life fit it better. Habit can help, Dr. Kleitman believes. Maybe youre sleepy in the evening but feel you must stay up late anyway. Counteract your cycle to some extent by habitually st
43、aying up later than you want to. If your energy is low in the morning but you have an important job to do early in the day, rise before your usual hour. This won t change your cycle, but you 11 get upstream and work better at your low point.Get off to a slow start which saves your energy. Get up wit
44、h a leisurely yawn and stretch. Sit on the edge of the bed a minute before putting your feet on the floor. Avoid the troublesome search for clean clothes by laying them out the night before. Whenever possible, do routine work in the afternoon and save tasks requiring more energy or concentration for
45、 your sharper hours.（分数：10.00）(1).If a person finds getting up early a problem, most probably_.A. he is at his peak in the afternoon or eveningB. he is not sure when his energy is lowC. he refuses to follow his own energy cycleD. he is a lazy person（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).Which of the following may lea
46、d to family quarrels according to the passage?A. unawareness of energy cycles.B. familiar monologues.C. attempts to control the energy cycle of other family members.D. a change in a family member s energy cycle.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).If one wants to work more efficiently at his low point in the mornin
47、g he should _.A. get up earlier than usualB. change her energy cyclesC. overcome his lazinessD. go to bed earlier（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(4).You are advised to rise with a yawn and stretch because it will_.A. keep your energy cycle under control all dayB. help to keep your energy for the day s workC. help

Children have energy cycles, too.B. Habit helps one adapt to his own energy cycle.C. Getting off to work with a minimum effort helps save
49、ones energy.D. Dr. Kleitman explains why people reach their peaks at different hours of day.（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.九、Text 3(总题数：1，分数：10.00)Faces, like fingerprints, are unique. Have you ever wondered how it is possible for us to find out people? Even a skilled novelist probably could not make a description of all the features(特征) that make one face different from another. Yet a very young kid or even an animal, such as a pigeon,can learn to recognize faces. We all take the ability for granted.We can also tell people apart by whic
