to undertake to do for children what only 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 cleverly the most efficient(有效的) system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also
a public activity: it can be seen and observed.
Learning to read involves all that each individual does to understand the world of printed language.
Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to
public scrutiny.
If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching
that will aid the child in the long search for knowledge? Smith has one principle rule for all teaching
instructions. " Make learning 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 properly, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is got rid of.
Learning to readis made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the
chance to solve the problem of learning to read by learning.
A. too much time is spent in teaching about reading
B. reading tasks are given with little guidance
C. it is one of the most difficult school courses
D. students spend limited hours in reading
B. teachers can teach their students how to read
C. teachers can improve conditions at school for the students
D. teachers can enable students to develop their own way of reading
A. unbelief
B. control
C. inquiry
D. observation
B. reading ability is something gained rather than taught
C. teachers could encourage students to read as widely as possible
D. teachers should do as little as possible in helping students learn to read
signals(信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a
relationship.
Different cultures emphasize(强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree. For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with
people at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before
they do
any job. In many European countries-like the UK or France-people find it easier to build up a lasting working relationship at restaurants or cafes rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence.
The people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that
they thought I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but
people there sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and
German cultures share similar values; Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We think
that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more
quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite
against each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment(多元文化
环境) will offer a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other,
B. share the same culture
C. get to know each other
D. keep each other company
B. too many words are of no use
C. people from Thailand are quiet and shy by name
D. even talk and silence can be culturally different
B. By accepting different babits
C. By recognizing different values
D. By speaking each other"s languages
B. Cross-Cultural Differences
C. How to Understand Each Other
D. How to Build up a Relationship
see and feel water coming from the atmosphere when we have rain. But the water must somehow get back to the atmosphere. Meteorologists call this the water cycle.
There are many stages in the water cycle. Rain falls when water vapor in clouds condenses(凝结). Drops of water form and fall to the ground. The water soaks into the ground and feeds steams and rivers. A lot of rain falls into the sea. The heat of the sun evaporates some of the water in the ground and in the rivers,
lakes, and the sea. It changes the liquid water into water vapor. The vapor rises onto the air. Water vapor
is normally invisible. On a very damp or humid day, however, you can sometimes see water vapor rising from a puddle(水坑) or pond in a mist(薄雾)above the water. Water vapor also gets into the air from living things. Trees and other plants take in water through their roots and give off water vapor from their leaves. People and land animals drink water and breathe out water vapor. In all these ways the water returns to the air. There it gathers to form clouds and condenses to form rain. The rain falls to earth, and the cycle starts again. It continues even if snow or hail(冰雹) fall instead because both eventually melt to form water. The amount of water vapor in the air depends on the temperature. The air is more moist(潮湿)in the tropics(热带) than in the cold polar regions.
B. Water vapor
C. How rain forms
D. Water ,vapor, rain
B. Three

D. Five
B. how good your eyes are
C. in which way water is evaporated
D. climate or weather
B. there is more water vapor in the air in cold polar region than in the tropics
C. it gets more rain in the tropics than in cold polar regions because there is less vapor
D. the amount of water vapor in the air depends on how often it rains

In third grade your idea of a good friend was the person who shared his or her lunch with you when
you forgot yours on the bus.
In eighth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you pack up your childhood
stuff so that your room would be a "middle school student"s" room, but didn"t laugh at you when you
finished and broke out into tears.
In eleventh grade your idea of a good friend was the person who came to comfort you when you
broke up with someone.

assured you that you would get into that university and helped you deal with your parents, who were
having a hard time to adjust to letting you go.
At graduation your idea of a good friend was the person who was crying on the inside but managed

the last. And good writers, like good cooks, do not suddenly appear full-blown. Quite the opposite, just
as the cook has to undergo a particular training, mastering the skills of his trade, the writer must sit at his
desk and devote long hours to achieving a style in his writing, whatever its purpose is-schoolwork, matters of business, or purely social communication.
You may be sure that the more painstaking the effort, the more effective the writing, and the more
rewarding.
There are still some faraway places in the world where you might find a public scribe to do your
business or social writing for you, for money. There are a few managers who are lucky enough to have
the service of that rare kind of secretary who can take care of all sorts of letter writing with no more than
a quick note to work from. But for most of us, if there is any writing to be done, we have to do it
ourselves.
We have to write school papers, business papers or home papers. We are constantly called on to
put words to papers. It would be difficult to count the number of such words, messages, letters, and
reports put into mails or delivered by hand, but the daily figures must be extremely large. What is more,
everyone who writes expects, or at least hopes whatever he writes will be read, from first word to last,
not just thrown into some "letters-to-be-read" files or into a wastepaper basket. This is the reason we
bend our efforts toward learning and practicing the skills of interesting, effective writing.

C. to do daily reports easily
D. to become good secretaries
B. introduce and describe
C. explain and persuade
