Littleton Children’s Home

We DON’T want your money, but children’s toys, books and clothes IN GOOD CONDITION would be very welcome.

Also, we are looking for friendly families who would take our children into their homes for a few hours or days as guests. You have so much─will you share it?

Phone Sister Thomas on 55671

Children’s Hospice

We look after a small number of very sick children. This important work needs skill and love. We cannot continue without gifts or money to pay for more nursing staff. We also need storybooks and toys suitable for quiet games.

Street Food

In the winter weather, it’s no fun being homeless. It’s even worse if you’re hungry. We give hot food to at least fifty people every night. It’s hard work, but necessary. Can you come and help? If not, can you offer a little money? We use a very old kitchen, and we need some new saucepans(平底锅). Money for new ones would be most welcome indeed.

Let children learn to judge their own. A child who learns 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 language he uses and the language those around him use. Little by little, 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 without being taught—to walk, run, climb, 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 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 in doing such work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.   

1.According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is ___  

A.to listen to skilled people’s advice

B.to ask older people many questions

C.to make mistakes and have them corrected

D.to do what other people do

2.According to the writer, teachers in school should ___

A.allow children to learn from each other

B.point out children’s mistakes whenever they are found

D.give children more book knowledge

3.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

D.Let children judge their own work

4.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 other skills

C.more important than other skills

D.not really important skills

B

Some schools in the United States offer Chinese language classes with government support from China.

Saint Mary’s School is a private college preparatory school in Medford, Oregon.

Carly Irvine is in her fourth year of learning Mandarin(普通话).

CARLY IRVINE: “Since China and America are working so closely and our relationship is growing more and more, I think it will be very important in the future to know Chinese.”

Saint Mary’s also teaches Spanish, German and Latin. It added Mandarin in two thousand five. Two years ago, it became the first school in the country to join the Confucius Classroom program.

The program pays about half the costs of a teacher sent to a school in the United States. China’s Education Ministry also provides books and other materials.

Saint Mary’s principal, Frank Phillips, says knowing Chinese will help students in a world where China is quickly gaining economic power.

Zheng Ling, a teacher at Saint Mary’s, came from China in two thousand eight.

ZHENG LING: “People do not know much about China, especially the latest development. So I think this is a chance for them to know more about China, what China is really like. It’s quite different from what it was twenty years ago.”

The Confucius Classroom program is in about forty countries, including more than fifty American schools and universities.

A recent report said more schools in the United States are teaching Chinese and Arabic, although the numbers are still low.

45. How many American schools and universities have the Confucius Classroom program?

A. 4.                                   B. 20.                          C. 40.                          D. 50.

46. Which of the following is true about Saint Mary’s School?

A. It is a public college preparatory school.

B. It added Mandarin in two thousand six.

C. It became the first school in America to join the Confucius Classroom program.

D. It also teaches Spanish, German and French.

47. How does Carly Irvine think learning Chinese?

A. Helpful.                   B. Useless.                    C. Unnecessary.             D. Terrible.

48. What’s the passage mainly about?

A. Some US Students Learn Mandarin with China’s Help.

B. China is quickly gaining economic power.

C. Saint Mary’s School.                                 

D. Carly Irvine.
