单选题Questions 11~13 are based on the following dialogue between two students.
单选题"If a child feels better about himself because he is experiencing success in one area, that may just spill over into other activities", a psychologist at Harvard said. The teachers the Harvard psychologist talked with who have worked with Multiple Intelligence Theory spoke of this " spillover" in terms of greater risk-taking by students. Given a chance to learn through the various domains of intelligence, children tend to try what is harder for them because they've experienced success in easier areas. Multiple Intelligence Theory, which is formulated by Howard Gardner, F helps a teacher work from a child's strengths. My work during the past four years has been as a teacher of the visual arts at the Learning Prep School for language-impaired and learning-disabled students. Gardner' theory puts into words what I have long suspected to be true—there are many different ways of learning, and the arts are an area where some students can excel. The children at the Learning Prep School in West Newton, Massachusetts, have not succeeded in the traditionally accepted areas of intelligence. These students are, however, capable of conceptual thinking, even though their use of language is often limited. The visual arts have been one of the areas in which a number of students have been able to succeed. The visual arts have been integrated into the traditional curriculum in order to enhance learning and to build on a child's strengths. In many ways, the arts can help shape the total child. The visual arts encourage and stimulate language development, and promote conversations that eventually lead to a greater willingness and ability to express the discussion of art projects by using words that describe color, texture, shape and size. Auditory skills of listening and following directions are reinforced. In addition, many children increase their power of observation and become more aware of the world around them. They can learn to concentrate and sustain interest in something meaningful to them. By using tools and materials, children increase manipulative skills, dexterity and coordination. They learn to make decisions of personal taste, color and materials, and they learn to share through creative expression.

单选题However important we may regard school life to be, the fact cannot be denied that children spend more time at home than in the classrooms. Therefore, the great influence of parents cannot be ignored or discounted by the teacher. They can become strong allies of school personnel or they can consciously or unconsciously hinder and thwart curricula objectives. Administrators have been aware of the need to keep parents apprised of the newer methods used in Schools. Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as reading readiness programs, manuscript writing, and developmental mathematics. Moreover, the classroom teacher, with the permission of the supervisors, can also play an important role in enlightening parents. The many interviews carried on during the year as well as new ways of reporting pupils' progress, can significantly aid in achieving a harmonious interplay between school and home. To illustrate, suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly interview, the teacher can help the parent sublimate his natural parental interest into productive channels. He might be persuaded to let Junior participate in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a yardstick or measuring cup at home, setting the clock, calculating mileage on a trip, and engaging in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis. If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making satisfactory progress in mathematics and, at the same time, enjoying the work. Too often, however, teachers' conferences with parents are devoted to petty accounts of children's misdemeanors, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestions for penalties and rewards at home. What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional adviser, plants ideas in parents' minds for the best utilization of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom. In this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters' capacities.
单选题As regards social conventions, we must say a word about the English class system. This is an embarrassing subject for English people, and one they tend to be ashamed of, though during the present century class-consciousness has grown less and less. But it still exists. Broadly speaking, it means there are two classes, the "middle class" and the "working class" (We shall ignore for a moment the old "upper class", since it is extremely small in numbers; but some of its members have the right to sit in the House of Lords, and some newspapers take a surprising interest in their private life.) The middle class consists chiefly of businessmen and professional people of all kinds. The working class consists chiefly of manual and unskilled workers. The most obvious difference between them is in their accent. Middle-class people use slightly varying kinds of "received pronunciation" which is the kind of English spoken by BBC announcers and taught to overseas pupils. Typical working-class people speak in many different local accents which are generally felt to be rather ugly and uneducated. One of the biggest barriers of social equality in England is the two-class education system. To have been to a so-called "public school" immediately marks you out as one of the middle class. The middle classes tend to live a more formal life. Their midday meal is "lunch" and they have a rather formal evening meal called "dinner", whereas the working man's dinner, if his working hours permit, is at midday, and his smaller, late-evening meal is called supper. It has been government policy to reduce class distinctions. Working-class students commonly receive a university education and enter the professions, and working-class incomes have grown so much recently. However, regardless of one's social status, certain standards of politeness are expected of everybody, and a well-bred person is polite to everyone he meets, and treats a laborer with the same respect he gives an important businessman. Servility inspires both embarrassment and dislike. Even the word "sir", except in school and in certain occupations (e.g. commerce, the army etc.) sounds too servile to be commonly used.

The rate of population growth is
fastest in underdeveloped countries. In these countries a high birthrate is
accompanied by a lowered death rate thanks to improved standards of public
health. Ideally it should be possible to counter balance the effect of a reduced
death rate by all increased use of family planning. In practice, however,
population control is a complex matter. Throughout history people have
determined the size of their families according to the cultural values of their
societies. Population control has long been a subject of
discussion among researchers. Some have argued that the supply of good land is
limited. In order to feed a large population, bad land must be cultivated and
the good land overworked. As a result, each person produces less in a given
amount of time and this means a lower average income than could be obtained with
a smaller population. Other researchers have argued that a large population
gives more scope for the development of facilities such as sports, roads and
railways, which are not likely to be built unless there is a big demand to
justify them. Similarly, it can be argued that the public costs of society will
not be so heavy to each individual if they are shared among the members of a
large population. One of the difficulties in implementing birth
control lies in the fact that the official attitudes to population growth vary
from country to country. In underdeveloped countries where a large population is
pressing hard upon the limits of food, space and natural resources, it will be
the first concern of government to place a limit on the birthrate. In a
well-developed society the problem may be more complex. A declining birthrate
may lead to unemployment because it results in a shrinking market. Cities with a
declining population may have to face the prospect of a shrinking tax base and a
fall in land values. If there are fewer children going to school, teachers may
be thrown out of work. When the pressure of population on housing declines,
prices also decline and the building industry is weakened. Faced with
considerations such as these, the government of a developed country may well
prefer to see a slowly increasing population, rather than one which is stable or
in decline.
