Question

阅读理解

　　A child's world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement, It is our misfortune that for most of us that cleared vision, the true instinct for what is beautiful, is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood．If I had influence with the good fairy who is supposed to be responsible for the Christening of all children, I should ask that her gift to each child in the world be a sense of wonder so undeniable that it would last throughout life, as an unfailing protection against the boredom of later years, the inattention of things that are artificial, the alienation (疏远) from the sources of our strength.

　　If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder without any such gift from the fairies, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in, parents often have a sense of inadequacy when facing on the one hand the eager, sensitive mind of a child and, on the other, a world of complex physical nature, confused by a life so various and unfamiliar that it seems hopeless to reduce it to order and knowledge. In a mood of self-defeat, they exclaim, “How can I possibly teach my child about nature -- why, I don't even know one bird from another?”

　　I sincerely believe that for the child, and for the parent seeking to guide him, it is not half so important to know as to feel. If facts are the sees that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow. The years of early childhood are the time to prepare the soil. Once the emotions have been aroused -- a sense of the beautiful, the excitement of the new and unknown, a feeling of sympathy, pity, admiration or love -- then we wish for knowledge about the object of our emotional response. Once found, it has lasting meaning, It is more important to prepare the way for the child to want to know than to put him on a load of facts he is ready to understand．
