P127 Test Yourself Answer Sheet 1 Part I
It goes without saying that to be a good teacher one must know one’s subject well. This does not merely mean that a teacher must have a college degree. A history teacher, for example, should be well-read about historical events and developments, especially in his particular area of study. But that’s not enough. He must also be well-informed about the world around him and be able to view and analyze its progress and problems in a historical perspective. Only in this way can he breathe new life into his history lessons, and arouse his students’ interest in historical studies.
However, knowledge alone does not make a good teacher. More important perhaps is a conscientious attitude toward his work, and a caring and loving heart toward his students. Teaching and learning is a process of two-way communication. It is hard to imagine a successful teacher who doesn’t care about those he is teaching. Only when a teacher is sympathetic and sensitive to the strengths and weaknesses of his students will be able to constantly adjust his teaching method to meet their needs.

One of you asks the first six questions and the other answers. Starting from question7, change roles. When you have finished, the teacher may want to put some of the questions to you to check your progress.
1. They were studying arts education in Chinese
kindergartens and elementary schools in Nanjing. 2. Their 18-month-old son Benjamin was fond of trying to
place the key into the slot of the key box during their stay at the Jinling Hotel.
3. They would come over to watch Benjamin and then try to
teach him how to do it properly.
4. Because he realized that this anecdote was directly relevant
to their assigned tasks in China: to investigate early childhood education and to throw light on Chinese attitudes toward creativity.

Jinling Hotel.
6. He emphasized that the most important thing is to teach
the child that one can solve a problem effectively be oneself.
7. He means that this incident pointed to important
differences in educational and artistic practices between China and USA.
8. The manner in which the Chinese staff saw the need to
teach the child by guiding his hand is characteristic of a broader attitude to education, one that stands in contrast to the Western preference for leaving the child to explore and learn unaided.
9. One example is of children at the age of 5 or 6 painting
flowers, fish and animals skillfully and confidently; in a second example, calligraphers 9 and 10 years old are producing excellent works; and in a third, young artists work on perfecting their craft for several hours a day. 10. Americans think that unless creativity has been acquired
early, it may never emerge, and skills can be picked up later. Chinese think that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired, and there is no hurry to promote creativity.
11. This is mainly due to the difference in their way of
thinking.
12. The author makes the suggestion that we should strike a
better balance between the poles of creativity and basic skills.
