What is teaching? It’s a difficult question to answer. In fact, as long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that “reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible”.

Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity. It can be seen and observed.

Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.

If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest(探索) for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children”.

When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher fulfil them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of leaning to read by reading.

A. reading enriches children’s experience

B. teacher and learner roles are interchangeable

C. teaching helps children in the search for knowledge

D. children become highly motivated

C. teachers can devise the most efficient system for reading

D. teachers can make their teaching activities observable

4. The main idea of the passage is that ________.

A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read

B. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as possible

C. reading is more complicated than generally believed

D. reading ability is something acquired rather than taught

Wherever you go, there you are. This is the title of a fantastic book by JonKabat Zinn. Often when going through a difficult time, some think about making a major change, a change of a job or residence. Will this really help? Of course if you are being abused or stressed, such action may work. But for the most part, if we change nothing about ourselves, we merely take what is inside of us wherever we wander.

In therapy(心理疗法), I have seen individuals who have literally taken geographic treatment, making a major change out of their city or state. What was most discovered was that at first, the change was fun and exciting. But after a period of time, after the “newness” wore off they still saw people as they had seen them before. If they felt taken advantage of, they still felt that way. If they had low self-esteem, they felt the same way.

Is there an answer to this problem? Work on yourself first. In 12-step programs, we say no major changes for a year. That is because people need to see who they really are without their addiction. And it takes about a year to give up your system and to find out who you really are emotionally.

Taking some time to clearly focus and see what the real issues are is very important. A quick change without any forethought is often merely an escape from reality.

And remember, happiness is an inside job.

5. According to the author, you can change your job if _________________.

A. you are going through difficult times B. you are ill-treated or stressed

C. you don’t want to change yourself D. you want to live a new life

6. By saying “happiness is an inside job”, the author really means that ___________.

A. happiness remains inside wherever you go

B. you can’t find happiness even if you change your job or residence

C. you can't find happiness unless you change the inside of yourself

D. giving up your addiction can lead to happiness

7. What would be the best title for the passage?

A. Work on Yourself First B. Don’t Change Your Job or Residence in a Hurry

C. Don’t Escape From Reality D. Join in 12-step Programs and Give up Your System

C

We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it.

Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed – no examination is perfect – but to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in school or on teachers. This would mean everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher.

Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them – a form of favoritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill-respected school can show certificates to prove he is suitable for a job, while the lack of a certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well-respected school. This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his school’s reputation, u
