23、ng ANSWER SHEET.30 Ask an American schoolchild what he or she is learning in school these days and you might even get a reply, provided you ask it in Spanish. But dont bother, heres the answer: Americans nowadays are not learning any of the things that we learned in our day, like reading and writing
24、. Apparendy these are considered fusty old subjects, invented by white males to oppress women and minorities.What are they learning? In a Vermont college town I found the answer sitting in a toy store book rack, next to typical kids books like “Heather Has Two Mommies and Daddy is Dys-functional“ .
25、It s a teacher a guide called “Happy To Be Me“, subtitled “Building Self-Esteem“ . Self-esteem as it turns out, is a big subject in American classrooms. Many American schools see building it as important as teaching reading and writing. They call it “ whole language“ teaching, borrowing terminology
26、from the granola people to compete in the education marketplace.No one ever spent a moment building my self-esteem when I was in school. In fact, from the day I first stepped inside a classroom my self-esteem was one big demolition site. All that mattered was “the subject“ , be it geography, history
27、, or mathematics. I was praised when I remembered that “near“, “fit“, “friendly“, “pleasing“, “like“ and their opposites took the dative case in Latin. I was reviled when I forgot what a cosine was good for. Generally, I lived my school years beneath a torrent of castigation so consistent I eventual
28、ly ceased to hear it, as people who live near the sea eventually stop hearing the waves.Schools have changed. Reviling is out, for one thing. More important, subjects have changed. Whereas I learned English, modem kids learn something called “language skills“ . Whereas I learned writing, modem kids
29、learn something called “communication“ .Communication , the book tells us, is seven per cent words, twenty three per cent facial expression, twenty per cent tone of voice, and fifty per cent body language. So this column, with its carefully chosen words, would earn at most a grade of seven per cent.
30、 That is, if the school even gave out something as oppressive and demanding as grades.The result is that, in place of English classes, American children are getting a course in “How to Win Friends and Influence People“ . Consider the new attitude toward journal writing: I remember one high school En
31、glish class when we were required to keep a journal. The idea was to emulate those great writers who confided in dimes, searching their soul and honing their critical thinking on paper.“Happy To Be Me“ states that journals are a great way for students to get in touch with their feelings. Tell studen
32、ts they can write one sentence or a whole page. Reassure them that no one, not even you, will read what they write. After the unit, hopefully all students will be feeling good about themselves and will want to share some of their entries with the class.There was a time when no self-respecting book f
33、or English teachers would use “ great“ or “hopefully“ that way. Moreover, back then the purpose of English courses (an antique term for “Unit“) was not to help students “feel good about themselves“ . Which is good, because all that reviling didn t make me feel particularly good about anything.31 In
34、paragraph 2, “whole language“ teaching is in inverted commas because_.（A）the writer is using direct speech（B） the writer is questioning the education concept（C） the words quoted have been extracted from a translation（D）the writer is quoting from another source32 In paragraph 3, the author is clearly
35、 expressing his idea about self-esteem. He believes that it is_.（A）essential that self-esteem should be promoted in American schools because the author used to suffer from a lack of self-esteem as a child（B） equally important to equip children with the necessary skills and knowledge they will requir
36、e in the future（C） important to remember how much school children used to suffer from a lack of selfesteem（D）reassuring to observe that children can benefit from the promotion of a positive image 33 Which of the following is the writer implying in paragraph 4?（A）Self-criticism has gone too far.（B） E
37、valuating criteria are inappropriate nowadays.（C） Communication is a more comprehensive category than language skills.（D）This column does not meet the demanding evaluating criteria of today.33 One of Dara Torres trainers is walking all over me. Literally. I m lying on my stomach as Steve Sierra conc
38、entrates his entire 160 lb. on my glutei and hamstrings. It hurts, but in a good way. Its all part of the flexibilityand strength-building regimen that Torres, who is making history as the oldest swimmer to compete in the Olympics, credits with getting her 41-year-old body in good-enough shape to ra
39、ce athletes half her age. But resistance stretching, as it is called, is not just for the Olympians among us. Its focus on maximizing muscle flexibility has been useful for everyone from injured NBA players to children with cerebral palsy. The exercises may not look like muchthey generally require n
40、o equipment other than a mat and maybe a towel and some strapsand they may not feel that strenuous, but you know the next day that you ve had a workout.Resistance stretching centers on flexing your muscles even as you stretch them; for example, instead of simply releasing a leg lift, resist the urge
41、 to let your quad muscles relax on the way down. Unlike holding a muscle in a passively stretched position, the resistance route actively lengthens muscles through constant movement. “ Resistance stretching goes deep into the joints and grabs more muscle fibers to increase strength and flexibility,
42、“ says Tierney, Sierra s partner. “It takes twice as much force to stretch a muscle as it does to contract it.“ Im not convinced yet, but after they guide me through a few exercises my muscles do start to feel more energized I can see why Torres likes to be worked on half an hour before she swims.Al
43、though Tierney and Sierra have certified 250 trainers through weekend workshops, you might be hard-pressed to find a class at your local gym. That may have something to do with the fact that stretching has always been deemed the most disposable part of any exercise regimen. “People usually only thin
44、k about flexibility and stretching when they are older and getting stiff or when they are injured, says Tiernjcy. “It s just not considered sexy, “ That could change As doctors urge even us non-Olympians to remain physically active throughout our lives, maybe we ll start to pay more attention to str
45、etching. After all, look what it does for Torres.34 From the passage we know that Dara Torres is_.（A）a sports historian（B） a swimming coach（C） an Olympic champion（D）a professional athlete35 As the author suggests, resistance stretching is an exercise_.（A）requiring little equipment（B） beneficial to a
46、ll of us（C） for the strong-willed（D）to test out endurance36 During the resistance stretching, one needs to_.（A）naturally let a lifted leg down（B） lengthen his muscles constantly（C） contract the muscles hard（D）hold out against stretching37 The benefit one gets from resistance stretching, as stressed
47、by the author, is_.（A）his mental refreshment（B） his flexed bone joints（C） his better body shape（D）his energized muscle38 According to the author, the possible reason for the unpopularity of resistance stretching today is that it is thought to be_.（A）too painful to endure（B） causing too much hurt（C）
48、a trivial part of exercise（D）too natural a physical act38 Scholars often seem to operate on the assumption that any analysis with a rosy oudook simply does not adequately understand the matter at hand. Ecotourism researchers have not been derelict in this regard, as the literature review earlier sho
49、wed. All the researchers who have looked at Capironas project, however, have been impressed by its grassroots nature and are optimistic about its potential as eco- development (Colvin 1994; Wesche 1993; Silver 1992) .All of these researchers, however, visited the community in its early years of operation. As mentioned previously, recent, non-scholarly reports are less positive. Thus there remains some doubt as to the long-term viability of even suc
