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 him. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things 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 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 lim. 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 (依賴) on the teacher. “Let him do it himself ’’ Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants to. What this word says is to give a chance to solve their problems by themselves, 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 in mathematics or science, give him he answer book, Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such tiring work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can not find the way to get the right answer. Let’s end all this nonsense of grades, exams and marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.1.

(D)I’m Joan Croft. I have to say that I came into nursing by chance (机会). I didn’t really like my first job, which was office work. I was a secretary. It was all right-but that’s just about all you can say about it. I stayed in the same place with the same people around me all day and every day. Then I became a singer, which I enjoyed very much, but after a while the singing group broke up (解散)and I had to start looking for something else. Some girls have wanted to be nurses ever since they were children, but it never entered my head until I saw an advertisement (广告)in a paper. I wrote in and thought, “Oh, well, I’ll give it a try. ”One thing I liked about it was going away from home. The training itself is very interesting and most of it is just on the wards (病房), so that you very quickly begin nursing real patients. I lived in the nurses’home when I arrived and I had my own room, which was very nice. I like nursing more than I ever thought I would. I’ll always carry on nursing. I’ve got a boyfriend who is a doctor so I hope to get married sometime, but wherever I live there’s sure to be a hospital in the place and there’s always a job for a nurse. 1. What was Joan’s first job? 2. Why didn’t Joan like her first job? 3. Why didn’t Joan go on with her second job? 4. How did Joan find out the information about the nursing job? 5. What is Joan’s plan for the future? Ⅴ综合填空:(10%)Robots are smart. With their computer brains, they help people work in d__1___ places or do difficult jobs. Some robots do regular jobs.
