Certainly, a well-rounded education is the foundation from which all of us spring forth. I am grateful to the many incredible teachers who have inspired me to do greater things, and have fired my enthusiasm for everlasting learning!

I have also been honored to have the most amazing teachers in all of my children’ s lives. These are extraordinary people who not only teach our children, but love them, inspire them, and provide an environment where a child learns how to learn.

But, sometimes I wonder if the outline of our educational plan is lacking something. I watched the movie Easy A with my older daughter. The main character’ s parents were loving, supportive, and built great confidence in their daughter and developed her ability to handle her own problems.

There was a scene where the mother was speaking to the younger child and he announced that he received an A” on his spelling test. She replied, That’s great, honey, but everything has spell check these days. ”It was funny but TRUE!I don’t mean that we shouldn’t teach our children how to spell, but maybe some of our time should be spent educating them about the dangers of posting things on Facebook.

Maybe we might want to spend time showing them how real life works— the credit card isn’t free money— you will have to pay it back at sometime. Oh, and get this—they charge you for borrowing that money. Perhaps, we should spend some time on interpersonal relationships. I worry that our kids do not know how to relate to one another.

Choosing a career is a daunting task. My daughter is in her second year in college and has changed her major twice. It’s not that she didn’t know what she wanted to do. What she wanted to do”and the degree she chose did not match.

I have learned many college students do not know what they want to do because they haven’t seen what it looks like in the real world. Being a journalist in the real world looks very different from writing stories. Maybe if we spent some time exposing them to real life experience— maybe two or three courses in areas of interest in high school that give them a “ feel ” for what that particular field would look like, they might be better prepared. I do not know the solution, but it seems that it should at least be a topic of discussion.

1.Why does the author mention the movie Easy A?

A. To prove the importance of book learning.

B. To lead to the topic he is going to talk about.

C. To show the parents’ ignorance of spelling.

D. To share with the readers his feeling about the movie.

2.The author believes that __________.

A. students need to focus on the skills in learning

B. parents and school should be consistent in education

C. his daughter is smart enough to make her own choice

D. courses in areas of interest in high schools will benefit students

3.The underlined word “ daunting” in Paragraph 6 probably means________.

A. specific           B. rewarding

C. discouraging      D. regular

4.What is mainly discussed in the passage?

A. Schools should prepare students for the real life.

B. What students learn in school should be practiced in life.

C. Life experience is of greater importance than school education.

D. Students should spend more time discussing practical problems

 

1.B 2.D 3.C 4.A 【解析】 试题分析: 我们的孩子们接受到很好的教育,但是在现有的教育体系中,我们只重视教给孩子书本上的知识还不够,还应该让孩子多参与社会实践等 1.B考查推理判断题。文章用Easy A这部电影的故事内容来引出话题:I wonder if the outline of our educationalplan is lacking something. Maybe we might want to spend time showing them how real life works.学校不应该只是关注成绩,还要关注孩子们的兴趣、能力和对生活的正确认识。所以选B 2.D考查细节理解题。根据最后一段提到Maybe if we spent some time exposing them to real life experience— maybe two or three courses in areas of interest in high school that give them a “ feel ” for what that particular field would look like, they might be better prepared. 可知,高中课程树立起来的孩子的兴趣方向可能会影响到他以后的职业和工作选择。因此高中的课程也许会让他们受益,故选D项。 3.C 考查推理判断题。择业是一项艰巨的任务。我的女儿改了两次专业,不是因为她不知道怎么做,而是她“想做的”和她“能做的”并不完全吻合。discouraging使人沮丧的;specific特殊的;rewarding有益的;regular有规律的。通过文章意思分析应该是艰难而令人生畏的,故选C项。 4. 考点:社科类短文阅读。

I was born and raised in Minnesota, the USA,but as an adult I have mostly lived in Europe and Africa. I teach cross-cultural management at the International Business School near Paris. For the last 15 years, I’ve studied how people in different parts of the world build trust,communicate, and make decisions especially in the workplace.

While traveling in Tokyo recently with Japanese colleague,I gave a short talk to a group of 20 managers. At the end, I asked whether there were any questions or comments.No hands went up,so I went to sit down.My colleague whispered to me,“I think there actually were some comments, Erin.Do you mind if I try?” I agreed, but I guessed it a waste of breath. He asked the group again, “Any comments or questions?”

Still, no one raised a hand, but this time he looked very carefully at each person in the silent audience. Gesturing to one of them, he said, “Do you have something to add?” To my amazement,she responded “Yes, thank you.” and asked me a very interesting question. My colleague repeated this several times,looking directly at the audience and asking for more questions or comments.

After the session, I asked my colleague, “how do you know that those people had questions?” He hesitated, not sure how to explain it, and then said, “It has to do with how bright their eyes are.”

He continued, “In Japan, we don’t make as much direct eye contact as you do in the West. So when you asked if there were any comments, most people were not looking directly at you. But a few people in the group were looking right at you, and their eyes were bright. That indicates that they would be happy to have you call on them.”

I thought to myself I would never have learned from my upbringing in Minnesota. Since then, I try to focus on understanding behavior in other cultures I encounter, and keep finding the bright eyes in the room.

Have you ever not wanted to do something so badly? Well, that’s how I     about joining Madcaps, a mothers and daughters’ club assisting philanthropies (慈善事业).     , my feeling changed finally. Now I believe if you adopt an     attitude, you might just     enjoying it.

Six months ago, my mom told me the club asked us to work as       at Saint Vincent de Paul Homeless shelter. That meant I had to       in the dirty homeless shelter for at least 20 hours.

The first time we went there, a lady led us to the kitchen where we     my five fellow Madcaps classmates they also wore the same expression. Since I’m usually socially     , I had never talked with any of them earlier. Worse still, my mom was asked to help outside the kitchen, leaving me totally     to serve food with them. Soon large numbers of homeless families     in like rushing river. A little girl, around 5 years old, walked up to me. I     her a cold sandwich. She took it and joined her family quickly. As she walked away, I     she was wearing a coat, clearly too big for her, hanging     on her thin body, and couldn’t help thinking how much I had     with her. It suddenly struck me that how       I am.

After that moment I had a     of heart. Now I love Madcaps and don’t miss one meeting. I have     awkwardness when communicating and have many friends. And this year I am sure I will do more than the     20 hours of philanthropies.

So that is how I have made a          by doing one thing I don’t want to do. If you have an open     about things you can accomplish more and become a well-rounded (全面的) person.
