    So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning,they will continue to teach what 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 plan the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also pubic activity:It can be seen and observed.

    Learning to read involves what 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 the process is not open to public scrutiny.

    If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable,then what can be done through teaching(teaching helps the child in the searching for knowledge)? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. “Make teaming 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 and learner fulfill them appropriately, much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is removed. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.

    Certain people make you feel comfortable when they are around. You spend all hour with them and feel as if you’ve known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is,we can try to do it ourselves.

    How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills,they will help you put people at ease,and make friends with them quickly.

    First of all,good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone,no matter how shy they ale,will answer a question. One well-known businessman says,”At business lunches,I always ask people what they did this morning. It’s a common question. but it will get things going. ”From there you can move on to other matters sometimes to really personal questions. And how they answer will let you know how far you can go.

    Second,once good talkers have asked questions they listen for the answer. This point seems clear but it isn’t. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out,you really have to listen carefully.

    Real listening means certain things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic,you can take it as a fact that he’ll be really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words,but to tones(语调)of voice. If the voice sounds dull,then,it's time for you to change the subject.

    Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. if you’re saying good―bye,you may give him a firm handshake and say, “I’ve really enjoyed meeting you. ”If you want to see that person again,don’t keep it secret. Let people know what you feel,and they may walk away feeling as if they’ve known you half their life.

    All over the world,libraries have begun the great task of making faithful digital copies of the books and records that protect the mental efforts of mankind?. For armchair schools,the work promises to bring such a wealth of information to desktop that the present Internet may not match.

    Librarians see three clear benefits to going digital. First,it helps them preserve rare and easily broken objects without refusing the demands of those who wish to study them. The British Library, for example,holds the only medieval(middle-aged)manuscript(手稿)of Beowuif in London. Only quantified scholars were allowed to set and put the images up on the Internet for anyone to use.

    A second benefit is convenience. Once books arc changed to digital form, readers can find them in seconds rather than minutes. Several people can read the same book or view the same picture at the same time. Clerks are spared the chore (琐事)of reserving. And libraries could use the Internet to lend their collections to those who are unable to visit in person.

    The third advantage of electronic copies is that they occupy millimeters of space on a magnetic disk(磁盘)rather than meters on a shelf. The cost of library buildings is increasingly high. The University of California at Berkeley recently spent $46 million on all underground addition to house 1. 5 million books at an average cost of $30 per set of them.

    What do a l5-year-old high school student named Vogt and Thomas Paine have in common? The answer is that both inspired major changes in their societies by writing an essay. In October,a student at west Milford high school in New Jersey read an article in her local newspaper that disturbed her. The article reported that the board of education had decided to use polystyrene tray in the lunchroom because they were less expensive than paper one’s.

It is not biodegradable,meaning that it can’t be broken down by natural biological processes. in addition,some polystyrene products give off gases called chloroflulrocarbons(CFCs)into the air. Scientific evidence indicates that these CFCs break down the protective ozone layer(臭氧层)of the atmosphere.

    Vogt decided to write a paper for her social studies class on the issue of polystyrene. Her teacher, Carl Stehle,read her paper to the class. After reminding students that Thomas Paine had had to persuade many hesitant colonists(殖比者) to support the American Revolution,Stehle challenged his class to do something about the polystyrene problem.

    Vogt and her classmates immediately conducted a survey in the high school and middle school . They discovered that a large majority of students said they wanted to switch back to paper goods in the cafeteria. When they presented their findings to the board of education,the boards business administrator did a survey of his own. He found that roughly 80 percent of the students in the two schools would be willing to pay extra 5 cents to eat their lunch from paper trays.
