A
The elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety. That didn't stop the elephant. It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.
Parbati's father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Parbati to ride an elephant before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up -- how to catch wild elephants. Parbati hasn't always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to her old life. \chase,\
But Parbati doesn't catch elephants just for fun. \and to keep the elephants safe from man.\And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years. Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.
The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. \them. They are also more loyal than humans,\happy animal. An elephant princess indeed!
61. For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to . A. get long lasting excitement B. keep both man and elephants safe C. send them back to the jungle D. make the angry elephants tame 62. Before Parbati studied in a boarding school, . A. she spent her time hunting with her father B. she learned how to sing love songs
C. she had already been called an elephant princess D. she was taught how to hunt tigers
63. Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because . A. they are caught and sent for heavy work B. illegal hunters capture them and kill them C. they are attacked and their land gets limited D. dogs often bark at them and chase them
64. The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India . A. people easily fall victim to elephants' attacks B. the man-elephant relationship is getting worse C. elephant tamers are in short supply D. dogs are as powerful as elephants
B
Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people‘s. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught--- to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle --- compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone(更不用说) correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine(常规的) work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can‘t find the way to get the right answer. Let‘s end all this nonsense of grades, exams and marks. Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn: how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.
Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible(合情理的) to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school and used for the rest of one‘s life is nonsense(无意义的) in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, ―But suppose they fail to learn something essential(基本的), something they will need to get on in the world?‖ Don‘t worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learnt it. 65.What does the writer think is the best way for children to think?
A. By listening to their parents‘ instructions. B. By asking a great many questions.
C. By making mistakes and having them corrected. D. By copying what other people do.
66.What does the writer think teachers should NOT do?
A. Give children correct answers. B. Point out children‘s mistakes to them.
C. Allow children to mark their own work. D. Encourage children to copy one another.
67.According to the passage, learning to speak and learning to ride a bike are _____.
A. the most important skills. B. the basic skills children should master C. almost the same as learning other skills D. much different from learning other skills.
