1.From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant source of possible failure and public humiliation.When children are little we make them read aloud,before the teacher and other children,so that we can be sure they"know"all the words they are reading.This means that when they don't know a word,they are going to make a mistake,right in front of everyone.After having taught fifth-grade classes for four years,I decided to try at all costs to rid them of their fear and dislike of books,and to get them to read oftener and more adventurously.
One day soon after school had started,I said to them,"Now I'm going to say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say before.I would like you to read a lot of books this year,but I want you to read them only for pleasure.I am not going to ask you questions to find out whether you understand the books or not.If you understand enough of a book to enjoy it and want to go on reading it,that's enough for me.And I'm not going to ask you what words mean."
The children sat stunned and silent.Was this a teacher talking?One girl,who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time,looked at me steadily for a long time after I had finished.Then,still looking at me,she said slowly and seriously,"Mr.Holt,do you really mean that?"I said just as seriously,"I mean every word of it."
During the spring she really astonished me.One day,she was reading at her desk.From a glimpse of the illustrations I thought I knew what the book was.I said to myself,"It can't be,"and went to take a closer look.Sure enough,she was reading Moby Dick,in the edition with woodcuts.I said,"Don't you find parts of it rather heavy going?"She answered,"Oh,sure,but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part."
This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is---an exciting,joyous adventure.Find something,dive into it,take the good parts,skip the bad parts,get what you can out of it,go on to something else.How different is our mean-spirited,picky insistence that every child get every last little scrap of"understanding"that can be dug out of a book.

分析 从孩子入学开始,我们就把书本和读书变成不断可能失败、当众受辱的源头.但是当他们不知道单词怎么读的时候,他们会犯错,而且是在所有的人面前犯错,这会给他们带来一些害怕.所以作者认为阅读应该是一种快乐的事,而不是强迫性的阅读,强调通过快乐阅读培养阅读习惯.

解答 41.D 细节理解题.由第一段第三句"This means that when they don't know a word,they are going to make a mistake,right in front of everyone."可知当他们不知道单词的时候,他们会犯错,而且是在所有的人面前犯错,这会给他们带来一些害怕,故选D.
42.A 细节理解题.由第二段老师的话"I would like you to read a lot of books this year,but I want you to read them only for pleasure",可见老师是想让学生们为了乐趣而读书,故选A.
43.C 细节理解题.由第三段第一句"The children sat stunned and silent."孩子们震惊和沉默地坐着,可见孩子们很吃惊,难以令人置信,故选C.
44.C 推理判断题.由第四段最后一句"She answered,Oh,sure,but I just skip over those parts and go on to the next good part"可知这个女孩知道如何欣赏这些文章,故选C.
45.B 归纳大意题.A孩子在阅读的时候不能够区别好的部分以及不好的部分;B应该留给学生自己去选择,读什么以及如何读;C在学校阅读永远不会是一个愉快和启发性的体验;D阅读需要理解每一部分的信息.其实根据常识可以判断C和D是错误的,然后再结合全文大意,作者认为孩子不应该是强迫去读,要让他们自己读,选择材料读.故选B.
