Imagine a school that expected its students to become literate(有读写能力的) without any

Imagine a school that expected its students to become literate(有读写能力的) without any formal instruction. Most parents would be alarmed by such an approach, which would leave their children confused and with gaps in their understanding. This however has been the philosophy on character development in many of our schools. Why is the development of character seen as somehow different from the other skills that we teach?

Of course there will always be learning by osmosis(耳濡目染)in any school, but as a teacher and primary school head I have found that a child's moral literacy is strengthened when they acquire the building blocks of good character such as consideration, courage and honor: qualities which are commonly known as virtue(美德).

I personally find that exploring a virtue over a two-week period provides a simple and effective program that allows for the creative input of both teacher and student and a chance for the virtue to embed(使融入)itself. Once a lesson on a virtue such as honesty has been completed we need to allow time for children to practice this concept just as would be the case with fractions or verbs. Allowing children to role play a situation such as making up excuses to cover a mistake can be enormously interesting, and the drama can be frozen allowing the characters to be questioned about their feelings and motives. It's also a safe way for children to experience for themselves how a lie usually goes out of control.

Our role as educators is also to look for opportunities to help our students as they attempt to strengthen their characters. When something goes wrong we guide the young person to the virtue that will prevent it from happening again. For instance, when am student thoughtlessly disturbs the calm atmosphere of the library, instead of a response such as, "that was really disrespectful and selfish of you!" we draw out from them the required virtue: "When you're walking through the library, what virtues do you need to use?"

1. Which of the following is the main idea of this passage?回答

A. Teaching morals and values has been a frequently discussed topic in the past few years.

B. The author and his staff embed virtues into lessons and school life to encourage character development in children.

C. Kids throughout the population face the same needs, the same challenges, and the same realities in their lives.

Everybody may have seen the film "Death on the Nile (尼罗河) ," but nobody can imagine tha

Everybody may have seen the film "Death on the Nile (尼罗河) ," but nobody can imagine that the writer of the story, Agatha Christie, saved a baby in a most unusual way.

In June 1977, a baby girl became seriously ill in Deleville. Doctors there were unable to find out the cause of her illness, so she was sent to a famous hospital in London, where there were many excellent doctors. The baby was so seriously iii that a team of doctors hurried to examine her without any delay. The doctors, too, were puzzled by the baby's illness, and they also became discouraged. Just then a nurse asked to speak to them.

"I think the baby is suffering from thallium (铊) poisoning," said the nurse~ "A few days ago, I read a story 'A Pale Horse' written by Agatha Christie. Someone uses thallium poison, and all the symptoms (症状) are written in the book. They are exactly the same as the baby's."

"You're very good at observing things, "said a doctor, "and you may be right. We'll carry out some tests and find out whether the cause is thallium poisoning or not."

The tests proved that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium. Once they knew that cause, the doctors were able to give her correct treatment. The baby soon got well and was sent back to Deleville. A week later it was reported that the poison might have come from an insecticide (杀虫剂) used in Deleville.

The baby was sent to a hospital in London because ______.

A.her parents were living in London then

B.the hospitals in Deleville were full at that time

C.she was the daughter of a famous doctor in London

D.doctors in Deleville were not sure about the cause of her illness

Section B

Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice.

We have admitted the fact that verbal (言语的)and mathematical thinking are given a lot of attention at school and college, while thinking using the right side of the brain is not given very much attention. However, we also have discovered that it is rather important to encourage people to make full use of their powers of visual imagery (影像). Then how do we develop our visual thinking? Here are some techniques.

See actions and movement in your mind's eye. Try to imagine these actions: you arrive home, you go to your door, put your key in the lock and open the door. You take off your coat. You go into the kitchen and you make yourself a drink. Could you see these actions in your mind' s eye? It is a useful technique and one which can be improved with practice.

Hear, smell, taste and touch..., in your mind. Try to close your eyes and see if you can hear, feel, taste and smell in your mind. Imagine pulling on rope. You hear the roar of the sea. Your bare feet are on the hot sand. The taste of salt is in the air. Now, you are no longer pulling; you are waving. The hot, soft sand is changing into hard, rough concrete. The sea no longer roars; you hear screaming tires of cars before they hit something. With practice, we can make enough use of our ability to imagine the whole range of our senses.

Create new objects and actions. Creative people must be able to imagine objects, people and scenes They must also be able to imagine new combinations and relations. Imagine a washing machine. You open the door and clothes fly out one after another. They dance in the air in front of you. Can you see this? Describe the washing to a friend.

All of us can do these things to achieve creative thinking, if we want.

According to the passage, school education stresses more on______.

A.thinking with the right side of the brain

B.using the left side of the brain

C.combining both sides of the brain

D.developing imaginary thinking

My Dream

My dream has always been to work somewhere in an area between fashion and publishing. Two years beforegraduating from secondary school, I took a sewing and design course thinking that I would move on to a fashiondesign course. However, during that course I realised that I was not good enough in this area to compete with16

other creative personalities in the future, so I decided that it was not the right path for me. Before applying foruniversity I told everyone that I would study journalism, because writing was, and still is, one of my favouriteactivities. But, to be absolutely honest, I said it, because I thought that fashion and me together was just a dream -I knew that no one, apart from myself, could imagine me in the fashion industry at all!

听力原文:M: I got two letters this morning with job offers, one from the Polytechnic, and
the other from the Language School in Pistoia, Italy.

W: So you are not sure which to go for?

M: That's it. Of course, the conditions of work are very different: The Polytechnic is offering two-year contract which could be renewed, but the language school is only offering a year's contract, and that's a different minus. It could be renewed, but you never know.

W: I see. So it's much less secure. But you don't need to think too much about steady jobs when you are only 23.

M: That's true.

W: What about the salaries?

M: Well, the Pistoia job pays much better in the short term. I'll be getting the equivalent of about £22,000 a year there, but only £20,000 at the Polytechnic. But then the hours are different. At the Polytechnic I'd have to do 35 hours a week, 20 teaching and 15 administration, whereas the Pistoia school is only asking for 30 hours teaching.

W: Mmm...

M: Then the type of teaching is so different. The Polytechnic is all adults and mostly preparation for exams like the Cambridge certificates. The Language School wants me to do a bit of exam preparation, but also quite a lot of work in companies and factories, and a couple of children's classes. Oh, and a bit of literature teaching.

W: Well, that sounds much more varied and interesting. And I'd imagine you would be doing quire a lot of teaching outside the school, and moving around quite a bit.

M: Yes, whereas with the Polytechnic position, I'd be stuck in the school all day.

What do we learn about the man from the conversation?

A.He wants to sign a long-term contract.

B.He is good at both language and literature.

C.He prefers teaching to administrative work.

D.He is undecided as to which job to go for.

The potential of closed-circuit television and other electronic teaching tools is so great
that it is inspiring to imagine "the school of tomorrow". Televised lesson will be given in a central building having perhaps four or five master studios. The lesson will be carried out into classrooms all over a city, or even an entire country. After a televised lesson has been given, the classroom teacher will take over for the all-important "follow-up" period. The students will ask any troublesome questions, and difficult points will be cleared up through discussion. The teacher in the classroom will have additional electronic tools. On the teachers desk, the traditional bright red apple will have been replaced by a multiple-control panel (控制板) and magnetic tape players. The tape machines will run prerecorded lessons which pupils will follow by headphones. The lesson will be specifically connected closely to the students levels of ability. For instance, while the class as a whole studies history, each student will receive an individual history lesson directed to his particular level of ability. Should questions arise, the students will be able to talk directly to the teacher on individual "intercoms" (对讲装置) without disturbing the rest of the class. In this way, the teacher will be able to conduct as many as three classes at the same time.

The closed-circuit television will probably carry lessons to______.

A.only a single classroom in the school

B.all the schools with classrooms

C.all the classrooms in the world

D.all the classrooms in a city or a country
