I went to a Catholic boys school in Blackpool in the North of England. In my first year in the senior school I was a nerdy kid, with spectacles and short trousers. For one hour a week the class had elocution lessons from an old, portly teacher called Mr. Priestley. He had a hard task wrestling with our flat northern vowels and trying to get us to speak the Queen’s English. One day he came up to me and said, "Sloane, I want to put you in for a speaking festival." "Why me " I grumbled. "Because I think you can do it," was his reply. I had to learn to recite a poem. It was "Play up, Play up and Play the game" by Sir Henry Newbolt, a classic motivational poem ringing with the heroic values of the British Empire. I had to practise it in front of the class, which was rather embarrassing; especially when dear old Mr. Priestly said, "That’s good but you need to pause and to put feeling and emotion into it." Eleven year old boys are unwilling to express feelings. The Saturday of the festival came and I went there on the bus (my parents never had a ear). I gave it my best shot but there were other children there who were more polished or experienced than I was and they scooped all the prizes. So I had to return to school on Monday and tell Mr. Priestley and the class that I had not won. I was then, and still am, very competitive so it felt like a failure to me. We did not have Mr. Priestley again after that year and I never thanked him for that intervention. It is too late to do so now. In my work I go around the world giving keynote talks on leadership and innovation and I often address large, prestigious audiences. Part of the reason that I can do that is because one teacher took the initiative and gave me a challenge. He asked me to do something I had never done and helped me to learn how to do it. Education is not about league tables or exam results. It is about opening doors for people and showing them rooms that that would otherwise be hidden. If we can challenge children to try things and to learn what they can achieve then maybe one day we will be remembered with the gratitude that I hold for Mr. Priestley.Mr. Priestley wanted the author to take part in the festival most probably because ().

A.the author was the best in class

B.the author didn’t have confidence in himself

C.the author wasn’t good at expressing himself

D.the author needed to be motivated

Imagine a school that expected its students to become literate（有读写能力的) without a

Imagine a school that expected its students to become literate(有读写能力的) without any formal instruction. Most parents would be alarmed by such an approach, which would leave their children confused and with gaps in their understanding. This however has been the philosophy on character development in many of our schools. Why is the development of character seen as somehow different from the other skills that we teach？

Of course there will always be learning by osmosis(耳濡目染)in any school, but as a teacher and primary school head I have found that a child's moral literacy is strengthened when they acquire the building blocks of good character such as consideration, courage and honor: qualities which are commonly known as virtue(美德).

I personally find that exploring a virtue over a two-week period provides a simple and effective program that allows for the creative input of both teacher and student and a chance for the virtue to embed(使融入)itself. Once a lesson on a virtue such as honesty has been completed we need to allow time for children to practice this concept just as would be the case with fractions or verbs. Allowing children to role play a situation such as making up excuses to cover a mistake can be enormously interesting, and the drama can be frozen allowing the characters to be questioned about their feelings and motives. It's also a safe way for children to experience for themselves how a lie usually goes out of control.

Our role as educators is also to look for opportunities to help our students as they attempt to strengthen their characters. When something goes wrong we guide the young person to the virtue that will prevent it from happening again. For instance, when am student thoughtlessly disturbs the calm atmosphere of the library, instead of a response such as, ""that was really disrespectful and selfish of you!"" we draw out from them the required virtue: ""When you're walking through the library, what virtues do you need to use？""

1. Which of the following is the main idea of this passage？{A; B; C}

A. Teaching morals and values has been a frequently discussed topic in the past few years.

B. The author and his staff embed virtues into lessons and school life to encourage character development in children.

C. Kids throughout the population face the same needs, the same challenges, and the same realities in their lives.

2. We can infer from the first paragraph that {A; B; C}.

A. there tends to be disagreement about what character education is

B. most parents are not satisfied with the teaching methods adopted in schools

C. the approach to character education is generally considered different from the approaches to other skills

3. The word ""philosophy"" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to {A; B; C}.

A. study

B. subject

C. viewpoint

4. The author is a {A; B; C}.

A. teacher

B. librarian

C. reporter

5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as a way to build character in children？{A; B; C}

A. Story readings and discussions.

B. Osmosis.

C. Taking every opportunity to teach character.

回答下列各题： A)Are you at a loss for creative book report ideas for your students？If

yes．then this article will help you make reading and reviewing books more creative for your class．In an age of PSPs，Xbox，anime and gaming arcades，reading has lost its foothold in the list of hobbies that children tend to cite． Most of the reading that kids do today,comes in the form. of compulsory books that they need to read for school and maybe that is the reason they find reading to be an insurmountable and boring task．If you want to inculcate the love for languages and literary masterpieces in your students and want them to devour books everyone should read，then a good way of going about the same would be to get them to start working on creative book report ideas．While working on creative ideas for book reports，your students will have to understand the book in a way that allows them to come up with new ways to present to the class，the essence of the book． B)As a teachel while egging your students to activate their creative gray cells．you will have to help them out with basic ideas that they can work on．Depending on the age bracket that your students belong to，the creative book report ideas will vary．This is so，not just because of the varying attention spans that children of various age groups posses but also because of the amount of work that kids can put into the report．While a middle school student wiIl be comfortable handling a handy cam，a student from elementary school will be more fascinated if he is working with paints and puppets．So do you want to know how to write a book report creatively？In this article．we will list out for you，a couple of good creative book report ideas for elementary students and for middle school students． C)A book report sandwich is a good creative idea for book reports．As a teacher you can get drawings of a sandwich on sheets of Paper that are of the color of the ingredients of your sandwich，for example，a cream sheet of paper to resemble mayonnaise，red to represent tomato and likewise．Ob． viously,each ingredient should be cut in a way that when assembled together,it looks like a sandwich．Now,give each of your students one of these book sandwiches to create their book report． It can start with the name of the book and the author’s name on the top slice of the sandwich．The second ingredient can have the summary of the book on it．Each subsequent ingredient can have a description of the main characters，the setting of the book，the plot，and then his or her views about the book．Once they are done with their book reports，they can staple the book sandwich together and then，you can create a class bulletin board with all the book report sandwiches on display． D)One of the good techniques to retell a story,it is also one of the favorite creative book report ideas among students．The job that the student will have is to read the book and then pick a few objects at his／her home which will allow him／her to retell the story in a way that makes it interesting for his／ her audience．Every time he／she picks out an object from the bag to report the book he／she has read， there has to be a valid connection between the book and the object，which the student can first ask the audience to guess and then go ahead and explain it．This idea is spin—off on the normal show and tells and allows for an interactive book report session． E)This is one of the creative ideas for book reports in which．as the teacher, you will have to divideyour class into groups and give them one book each．The students can then read the book and get together and write a play and act it out for the class．To give a deeper insight into the book，one of the students can play the role of the author and as a group，the students can try and recreate the thought Drocess of the author．The student playing the role of the author can then interrupt the play at lmportant iunctllres and talk about the reasons for these twists in the play and how he／she came up with these plot lines． F)As a voung adult，your student’s fascination may go beyond the immediate concerns of the book． He／she may want to understand the circumstances in which the book was written，the times then，the events happening in the world and get the author’s perspective about the book．Encourage your students to mink on those lines．Divide the class into pairs and give each pair one book to read．Let them then do the roles of the author and a journalist．You can have an interview session in front of the class．enabling them to dissect the book and get a peek into the author’s world． G)In a technology—obsessed world，it maybe a very tiny minority of your class that does not get excited with the Drospect of shooting a film．One of the best creative book report ideas for middle school， you will need to divide the class into groups and give them at least two months to adapt the book that thev have been assigned，into a film．The movie should have a well—adapted screenplay,and allother prerequisites，like a lighting engineer,sound engineer, costume designer,etc．At the end of the given time，the film can be screened in front of the class and then discussed． H)If you are on the lookout for good individual creative book report ideas，then this one could be for you．Assign every student a book and then ask them to start maintaining a diary,from the author’sDoint of vie w．Ask them to come up with imaginary incidents from the author’s life and use historical events to explain why the author wrote the book in a certain manner．Alternately, you can also ask your students to give a surrogate ending to the story． I)These are just few of the options that you could use to inspire your students to come up with creative book report ideas．As kids we tend to be more imaginative and creative .Encourage your students to mink om of the box and appreciate them for their efforts．This will help you have a class that is not only lively and inquisitive by nature but also a class that will cultivate a love for words． Teachers can create a class bulletin board to display all the book report sandwiches after their students finish their reports．

We might marvel at the progress made in every field of study, but the methods of testing a

person's knowledge and ability remain as primitive as ever they were. It really is extraordinary that after all these years, educationists have still failed to device anything more efficient and reliable than examinations. For all the pious claim that examinations text what you know, it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite. They may be a good means of testing memory, or the knack of working rapidly under extreme pressure, but they can tell you nothing about a person's true ability and aptitude.

As anxiety-makers, examinations are second to none. That is because so much depends oil them. They are the mark of success of failure in our society. Your whole future may be decided in one fateful day. It doesn't matter that you weren't feeling very well, or that your mother died. Little things like that don't count: the exam goes on. No one can give of his best when he is in mortal terror, or after a sleepless night, yet this is precisely what the examination system expects him to do. The moment a child begins school, he enters a world of vicious competition where success and failure are clearly defined and measured. Can we wonder at the increasing number of "drop outs": young people who are written off as utter failures before they have even embarked on a career？ Can we be surprised at the suicide rate among students？

A good education should, among other things, train you to think for yourself. The examination system does anything but that. What has to be learnt is rigidly laid down by a syllabus, so the student is encouraged to memorize. Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely, but to restrict his reading; they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge, but induce cramming. They lower the standards of teaching, for they deprive the teacher of all freedoms. Teachers themselves arc often judged by examination results and instead of teaching their subjects, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques which they despise. The most successful candidates are not always the best educated; they are the best trained in the technique of working under duress.

The results on which so much depends are often nothing more than a subjective assessment by some anonymous examiner. Examiners are only human. They get tired and hungry; they make mistakes. Yet they have to mark stacks of hastily scrawled scripts in a limited amount of time. They work under the same sort of pressure as the candidates. And their word carries weight. After a judge's decision you have the right Of appeal, but not after an examiner's. There must surely be many simpler and more effective ways of assessing a person's true abilities. Is it cynical to suggest that examinations are merely a profitable business for the institutions that run them？ This is what it boils down to in the last analysis. The best comment on the system is this illiterate message recently scrawled on a wall: I were a teenage drop-out and now I are a teenage millionaire.

The main idea of this passage is ______.

A．examinations exert a pernicious influence on education

B．examinations are ineffective

C．examinations are profitable for institutions

D．examinations are a burden on students

Television has opened windows in everybody’s life.Young men will never again go to war

as they did in 1914,Millions of people now have seen the effects of a battle.And the result has been a general dislike of war,and perhaps more interest in helping those who suffer from all the terrible things that have been shown on the screen.Television has also changed politics.The most distant areas can now follow state affairs,see and hear the politicians before an election.Better informed,people are more likely to vote,and so to make their opinion count.Unfortunately,television’s influence has been extremely harmful to the young.(76)Children do not have enough experience to realize that TV shows present an unreal world; that TV advertisements lie to sell products that are sometimes bad or useless.They believe that the violence they see is normal and acceptable.All educators agree that the “television generations” are more violent than their parents and grandparents.Also,the young are less patient.(77)Used to TV shows,where everything is quick and interesting,they do not have the patience to read an article without pictures; to read a book that requires thinking; to listen to a teacher who doesn’t do funny things like the people on children’s programs.And they expect all problems to be solved happily in ten,fifteen,or thirty minutes.That’s the time it takes on the screen.
