题目内容
4.During the last four days my family was celebrating a marriage.A cousin of mine came all the way from Florida to Brazil with his bride because they wanted to marry here.Today,the fourth day of partying,everybody went to a country house,which is where the newly-wed couple is staying.Just as night fell,I was wandering around a swimming pool when I saw a group of my youngest cousins (three boys aged 6,9,and 14,and a girl who was 12,I'm 22),and they were talking about school.Specifically,they were cursing Math.I was curious and asked them what subjects they liked.Physics was a top of the list,which is an oxymoron(矛盾),for when people like Physics and dislike Math,there is clearly something amiss(不正常).
One thing I have to say about our schools is that most of them don't care much about what students feel when they're being"educated".As long as everybody's getting good grades and the older boys and girls are getting past colleges'admission exams,everything is fine.My point is that being force-fed knowledge in annoying and painful ways causes people to forget all about the subject right after the tests,and even worse,they generate hatred and grief towards precious knowledge.It was quite obvious,the reason why the kids didn't like Math; instead of being stimulated towards learning it with a passion,they had to behave as little turning machines which would read a formula on one piece of text,and give an output right below the question,with no understanding of the logic involved.In a cruel Pavlovian(巴甫洛夫学说的) system,they were punished (read:failed exams for inaccurate outputs,and rewarded for correct answers.
