阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。

A

       Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the languages he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught-to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.

If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work？ Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.

56．According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by              .

       A．listening to skilled people’s advice  

       B．asking older people many questions

       C．making mistakes and having them corrected

       D．doing what other people do

57．Which of the following does the writer think teachers should NOT do?

       A．Give children correct answers.      

       B．Allow children to make mistakes.

       C．Point out children’s mistakes to them.   

       D．Let children mark their own work.

58．The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are    .

       A．different from learning other skills                B．the same as learning skills

       C．more important than other skills                   D．not really important skills

59．The title of this passage could probably the            .

       A．Let Us Teachers Stop Work                         B．Let Us Make Children Learn

       C．Let Children Correct Their Exercises            D．Let Children Learn by Themselves

C

     In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.

     I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.

     However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: "I may have lost, but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try." What is not usually admitted by themselves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve can we discover a new meaning in competition.

46. What does this passage mainly talk about?

   A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.

   B. Opinions about competition are different among people.

   C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.

   D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.

47. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?

   A. It pushes society forward.      B. It builds up a sense of duty.

   C. It improves personal abilities.   D. It encourages individual effects.

48. The underlined phrase " the most vocal" in Paragraph 3 means ____________.

   A. those who try their best to win

   B. those who value competition most highly

   C. those who are against competition most strongly

   D. those who rely on others most for success

49. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a "desire to fail" ?

A. One's worth lies in his performance compared with others'.

B. One's success in compeition needs great efforts.

C. One's achievement is determined by his particular skills.

D. One's success is based on how hard he has tried.

50. Which point of view may the author agree to?

A. Every effort should be paid back.

B. Competition should be encouraged.

C. Winning should be a life-and-death matter.

D. Fear of failure should be removed in competition.
