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 all the other things they learn to do without being taught - to talk, 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 correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it 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 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 someday 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 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 in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential, 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 learn it. Question 29: What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things? A. By listening to explanations from skilled people. B. By making mistakes and having them corrected. C. By asking a great many questions. D. By copying what other people do. Question 30: The word “he" in the first paragraph refers to ____________ A. other people B. their own work C. children D. a child Question 31: What does the author think teachers do which they should not do? A. They encourage children to copy from one another. B. They point out children's mistakes to them.
C. They allow children to mark their own work. D. They give children correct answers. Question 32: The word "complicated" in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to____________ A. comfortable B. competitive C. complex D. compliment Question 33: The author fears that children will grow up into adults who are____________ A. unable to think for themselves B. too independent of others C. unable to use basic skills D. too critical of themselves Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions. Improving girls’ educational levels has been demonstrated to have clear impacts on the health and economic future of young women, which in turn improves the prospects of their entire community. The infant mortality rate of babies whose mothers have received primary education is half that of children whose mothers are illiterate. In the poorest countries of the world, 50% of girls do not attend secondary school. Yet, research shows that every extra year of school for girls increases their lifetime income by 15%. Improving female education, and thus the earning potential of women, improves the standard of living for their own children, as women invest more of their income in their families than men do. Yet, many barriers to education for girls remain. In some African countries, such as Burkina Faso, girls are unlikely to attend school for such basic reasons as a lack of private latrine facilities for girls. Higher attendance rates of high schools and university education among women, particularly in developing countries, have helped them make inroads into professional careers with better-paying salaries and wages. Education increases a woman's (and her partner and the family's) level of health and health awareness. Furthering women's levels of education and advanced training also tends to lead to later ages of initiation of sexual activity and first intercourse, later age at first marriage, and later age at first childbirth, as well as an increased likelihood to remain single, have no children, or have no formal marriage and alternatively, have increasing levels of long-term partnerships. It can lead to higher rates of barrier and chemical contraceptive use (and a lower level of sexually transmitted infections among women and their partners and children), and can increase the level of resources available to women who divorce or are in a situation of domestic violence. It has been shown, in addition, to increase women's communication with their partners and their employers, and to improve rates of civic participation such as voting or the holding of office. Question 34: What can be the best title of the reading passage? A. Education and Women's Empowerment B. Female Education and Social Benefits C. Woman's Rights to Lifelong Education D. Education and Violence Against Women Question 35: It is stated in the first paragraph that _____. A. women who have little schooling often have no idea of raising their children B. women's education levels have influence on the prospect of their community C. earning their own living, women take the responsibility of running the household D. it is the children's schooling that helps their mothers increase their lifetime income Question 36: It is implied in the first paragraph that _____. A. the husband in a family takes little responsibility in rearing the children B. the children's standard of living largely depends on their mother's income C. the mother in a family makes every effort to raise the children effectively D. there are numerous reasons for women not to come to class worldwide Question 37: The word "barriers" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to _____. A. limits B. aids C. difficulties D. fences Question 38: The phrase "make inroads into" in the first paragraph is opposite in meaning to _____._____. A. fail to take B. make head or tail of C. take the chance in D. celebrate achievement in Question 39: According to the passage, furthering women's levels of education and advanced training does NOT result in _____. A. an increased likelihood to remain single among women B. an increased level of health awareness for the husbands
