Question

Bai Yansong, a famous TV host, expressed his support for students wearing green scarves (绿领巾) at a primary school in Xi’an. He wore a green tie on a TV program on October 19, 2011. “I just want the students to know that I’m also wearing green. And we are all great people and are as good as those wearing red scarves.”

The First Experimental Primary School in Xi’an made children with poor schoolwork and behavior wear green scarves. Parents whose children wore green scarves were angry. “The children still need their self-esteem (自尊心) even though they are very young, and they know the green scarf means something is not quite right,” said one mother. Now, the school has stopped the practice.

Educational expert Li Zhenxi said that primary and junior high school students have strong self-esteem. They are eager to be respected and understood. Punishment will hurt them. “It’s better to encourage them rather than separating some ‘bad’ students,” he said.

A survey made by the Ministry of Education (教育部) shows that 75 percent of students feel nervous and scared when the teacher is about to announce their grades. Some schools have done better in protecting students’ privacy and encouraging them. In American schools, teachers post test results on the wall. Instead of using student names, they use secret numbers. This way, students know their secret numbers and can check their own grades only. Some teachers might call the students up to the desk and tell them their scores one at a time.

But test scores are not the only measures of a student’s ability. Everyone has his own strengths and everyone can make great progress by working hard.

【解析】

试题分析：本文主要讲述中小学生其实具有强烈的自尊心，这一点往往是我们大人所忽略的。对于学生能力的测试不能仅仅依靠考试和分数，要注意后进生同样有能力并具有强烈的自尊心。

1.C细节理解题。根据短文第一段最后一行“And we are all great people and are as good as those wearing red scarves.”的描述可知，这里指的是要告诉大家戴绿领巾和戴红领巾的人一样是好学生。故应选C。

2.D细节理解题。根据短文“The children still need their self-esteem (自尊心) even though they are very young, and they know the green scarf means something is not quite right”的描述可知，孩子们也需要自尊心，即使他们很小，也知道绿领巾意味着一些不好的事情。即戴绿领巾会伤到孩子的自尊心。结合选项可知应选D。

3.D细节理解题。根据短文“Educational expert Li Zhenxi said that primary and junior high school students have strong self-esteem”.的描述可知，选项A不符合原文内容；根据短文“It’s better to encourage them rather than separating some ‘bad’ students,”的描述可知，选项B不符合原文内容；选项C文章没有提到；根据短文“Some schools have done better in protecting students’ privacy and encouraging them. In American schools, teachers post test results on the wall. Instead of using student names, they use secret numbers”的描述可知，使用秘密的数字可以更好的保护学生的隐私。结合选项可知应选D。

4.D词义猜测题。根据下文“Everyone has his own strengths and everyone can make great progress by working hard”的描述可知，每个人都有自己的长处，都可以通过自己的努力获得进步。所以说分数不仅仅是测试学生能力的唯一标准。结合选项可知应选D。
