单选题With the development of the education, more and more parents hold the opinion that schools no longer focus on word spelling. As a basic writing skill, I want to say no school have taught in has ever overlooked spelling or considered it unimportant. However, opinions vary from person to person regarding how to teach it, or how much priority it should be given over general linguistic education and writing ability. The problem seems to be how to encourage children so that they can express themselves freely and have confidence in writing instead of preventing them from progress with the complexities of spelling. If a teacher is only interested in word spelling, a bright child will be most likely to "play safe". He will attempt to write down the only words that he knows clearly and avoids adventurous new ones. That's why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and attach great importance to content rather than technical ability. I was once shocked when I read the remarks on the bottom of a piece of writing concerning an impressive personal experience, "This work is surprisingly awful! There are too many spelling errors." It may have been a sharp criticism of the child's writing abilities, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had ignored the content of essay, which involved child's deep feelings. The teacher was of course right to pay much attention to the spelling errors, but if he had concentrated on the child's ideas, an expression of his disappointment would have given the child more motivation to be better.

单选题{{B}}D{{/B}} Many small cultural groups live in places far away from modern cities. Some of these tribes have never had any communication outside of their small areas. When they do contact the outside world, their lives usually change. Learning how to change without losing the best of their own cultures is a problem for them. One native tribe in New Guinea has a difficult situation. The people of the tribe are being pulled in two ways. Copper has been discovered under the land where they have lived for centuries. Developers want to take the copper out of the ground, to mine it. The tribe needs the money that a copper mine would bring. The problem is that the copper is directly under the most important building of their society. These buildings are a necessary part of their religion. How can the copper be mined without changing their religion? A group of people are trying to help the tribe to learn to communicate with the rest of the world. Cultural Survival, Inc, is the name of the group. The people are anthropologists, scientists who study cultures. The organization wants to teach them how to live in the modern world. There is another organization like this in London. It is called Survival International. One in Copenhagen is called the International Workshop for Local Affairs. These two groups have joined with Cultural Survival Inc. to help people become used to modern culture. These organizations work with another kind of problem, too. Sometimes a central government does not consider the needs of local people in developing new projects. Often they suffer a great loss and Cultural Survival, Inc. helps them. Cultural Survival Inc. and its sister organizations also give advice about tourism (旅游业). The tourist business can cause problems. Many small societies need to earn money, but a large group of visitors can hurt their culture. Also the local people could use the help of Cultural Survival, Incorporated.
