28、” and “This is for your own good” these are the statements my mother used to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework. That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to push our children to achieve thei

29、r best in school. The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it as all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation. Now

30、 teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing weve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who speaks of her students “so passive” and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television

31、, says Klompus, contributes to childrens passivity. “Were talking about a generation of kids whove never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying go and look it up, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.” Yes, it doe

32、s. It takes energy and it takes work. Its time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. Its time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but its for their own good. Its time to start telling them no again. 1. Children are becoming more inact

33、ive in study because _. A. they watch TV too oftenB. they have done too much homeworkC. they have to fulfill too many duties D. teachers are too strict with them2.

The main idea of the

35、passage is that _.A. parents should leave their children aloneB. kids should have more activities at schoolC. its time to be more strict with our kidsD. parents should always set a good example to their kids【答案與解析】如果孩子在學(xué)校接受的是寬容式教育，即不做作業(yè)、不限制看電視、把教學(xué)看成僅僅是老師的事，那么培養(yǎng)出來(lái)的學(xué)生會(huì)是什么樣的呢？一個(gè)字“passive”。1. A。語(yǔ)義理解題。從第

36、3段第4句話(huà)Television contributes to childrens passivity. 可以做出正確判斷。2. B。語(yǔ)義理解題。第1段中的 to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework就是作者媽媽的discipline。3. A。詞義猜測(cè)題。從這個(gè)詞組后面的內(nèi)容可以看出，家長(zhǎng)和學(xué)校都給了孩子們?cè)S多自由，也就是孩子們想干什么就讓他干什么。4. C。主旨題。文章最后一句話(huà)Its time to start telling them no again 就是主題句。(5) Education is not an en

37、d, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life. In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all whether rich or poor, clever or stupid one can solv

38、e all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degree；they refuse to do what they think “l(fā)ow” work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirt

39、y and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away fro

40、m our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed of ones work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to societ
