Section B
Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to statement contains information given in one of the tify the paragraphfrom which the information is may choose a paragraph more than once.
Joy: A Subject Schools Lack Becoming educated should not require giving up pleasure.
Jonathan Swift proposed, in 1729, that the people of Ireland eat their children, he insisted itwould solve three problems at once : feed the hungry masses, reduce the population during a severedepression, and stimulate the restaurant as a satire (諷刺), it seems disgusting andshocking in America with its child-centered actually, the country is closer to hisproposal than you might think.
you spend much time with educators and policy makers, you'll hear a lot of the following words :"standards,""results,""skills,""self-control,""accountability," and so on.I have visited someof the newer supposedly "effective" schools, where children shout slogans in order to learn self-control or must stand behind their desk when they can't sit still.
C.A look at what goes on in most classrooms these days makes it abundantly clear that when peoplethink about education, they are not thinking about what it feels like to be a child, or what makeschildhood an important and valuable stage of life in its own right.
D.I'm a mother of three, a teacher, and a developmental I've watched a lot ofchildren-talking, playing, arguing, eating, studying, and being 's what I've come thing that sets children apart from adults is not their ignorance, nor their lack 's their enormous capacity for k of a 3-year-old lost in the pleasures of finding outwhat he can and cannot sink in the bathtub, a 5-year-old beside herself with the thrill of putting
together strings of nonsensical words with her best friends, or an 11-year-old completely absorbedin a fascinating comic strip.A child's ability to become deeply absorbed in something, and deriveintense pleasure from that absorption, is something adults spend the rest of their lives trying toreturn to.
E.A friend told me the following day, when he went to get his 7-year-old son from soccerpractice, his kid greeted him with a downcast face and a sad coach had criticized himfor not focusing on his soccer little boy walked out of the school with his head andshoulders hanging seemed wrapped in just before he reached the car door,he suddenly stopped, crouching (蹲伏) down to peer at something on the face wentdown lower and lower, and then, with complete joy he called out, " is thestrangest bug I've ever has, like, a million at 's amazing." He looked upat his father, his features overflowing with energy and delight."Can't we stay here for just aminute? I want to find out what he does with all those is the coolest ever."
traditional view of such moments is that they constitute a charming but irrelevant byproduct ofyouth-something to be pushed aside to make room for more important qualities, like perseverance(堅持不懈), obligation, and moments like this one are just the kind of intenseabsorption and pleasure adults spend the rest of their lives n lives are governed bythe desire to experience ming educated should not require giving up joy but rather lead tofinding joy in new kinds of things: reading novels instead of playing with small figures, conductingexperiments instead of sinking cups in the bathtub, and debating serious issues rather than stringingtogether nonsense words, for some cases, schools should help children find new,more grown-up ways of doing the same things that are constant sources of joy: making art, makingfriends, making decisions:
G. Building on a child's ability to feel joy, rather than pushing it aside, wouldn't be that wouldjust require a shift in the education world's mindset (思維模式)ead of trying to get children towork hard, why not focus on getting them to take pleasure in meaningful, productive activity, likemaking things, working with others, exploring ideas, and solving problems? These focuses are not
so different from the things in which they delight.
H. Before you brush this argument aside as rubbish, or think of joy as an unaffordable luxury in anation where there is awful poverty, low academic achievement, and high dropout rates, more horrible the school circumstances, the more important pleasure is to achieving anyeducational success.
of the assignments and rules teachers come up with, often because they are pressured bytheir administrators, treat pleasure and joy as the enemies of competence and ssumption is that children shouldn't chat in the classroom because it hinders hard work; instead,they should learn to delay gratification (快樂) so that they can pursue abstract goals, like going to
college.
only is this a boring and awful way to treat children, it makes no sense desof research have shown that in order to acquire skills and real knowledge in school, kids need towant to can force a child to stay in his or her seat, fill out a worksheet, or you can't force the child to think carefully, enjoy books, digest complex information,or develop a taste for make that happen, you have to help the child find pleasure inlearning-to see school as a source of joy.
ts tend to talk about learning as if it were medicine: unpleasant, but necessary and good not instead think of learning as if it were food--something so valuable to humans thatthey have evolved to experience it as a pleasure ?
should not be trained out of children or left for after-school more difficult achild's life circumstances, the more important it is for that child to find joy in his or her classroom."Pleasure" is not a dirty it doesn't run counter to the goals of public is, infact, the precondition.
will not be difficult to make learning a source of joy if educators change their way of thinking.
distinguishes children from adults is their strong ability to derive joy from what they aredoing.
dren in America are being treated with shocking cruelty.
is human nature to seek joy in life.
n-ups are likely to think that learning to children is what medicine is to patients.
school conditions make it all the more important to turn learning into a joyful experience.
ts do not consider children's feelings when it comes to education.
nistrators seem to believe that only hard work will lead children to their educational goals.
the so-called "effective" schools, children are taught self-control under a set of strict rules.
make learning effective, educators have to ensure that children want to learn.
Section C
Directions: There are 2 passages in this passage is followed by some questions orunfinished each of them there are four choices marked A, B, should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer.
Passage One
Questions 56 to 60 are based on the following passage.
When it's five o'clock, people leave their length of the workday, for many workers, isdefined by leave when the clock tells them they're done.
These days, the time is everywhere: not just on clocks or watches, but on cell-phones may be a bad thing, particularly at research shows that clock-based workschedules hinder morale (士氣) and creativity.
Clock-timers organize their day by blocks of minutes and example: a meeting from9 10 arch from 10 noon, the other hand, task-timers have a list ofthings they want to work down the list, each task starts when the previous task is said that all of us employ a mix of both these types of planning.
What, then, are the effects of thinking about time in these different ways? Does one make us moreproductive? Better at the tasks at hand? Happier? In experiments conducted by Tamar Avnet andAnne-Laure Sellier, they had participants organize different activities-from project planning, holidayshopping, to yoga-by time or to-do list to measure how they performed under "clock time" vs "tasktinge." They found clock timers to be more efficient but less happy because they felt little control overtheir timers are happier and more creative, but less tend to enjoy themoment when
