In a small open courtyard, outside a school building, there were flowers here and there. In the sunshine，a was lying on the grass，reading a book with concentration. Near her，another child was carefully watering the flowers, while a third was with his back against a tree and had a on his knees. He appeared to be drawing or writing something on it. He was in his task, like the first child. the building, there were pleasant carpeted areas. Many children were busy with their tasks in a variety of while teachers wandered among them, talking to them, them, and encouraging their efforts. I watched this scene on a morning in May years ago, it to me that a visitor here would have thought he had entered a formal school. He would have been even more if he had been told that the children he was came from different kinds of academic levels. That has been staying with me ever since. I have been about some problems. Why in many schools are our children asked to acquire skills in a way from a real-life context（情境）? Why does a school child so often become a defeated school failure? Developmental psychologist Margaret Donald once said, “ of the intellectual framework (知识框架) on which we our teaching is misleading.” In my opinion, a child learns everything in human situation. And if every child could learn in the same way as the children in the school I visited, they would develop better. 小题1: A．gardener B．child C．teacher D．visitor 小题2: A．poor B．little C．complete D．slight 小题3: A．sitting B．standing C．sleeping D．listening 小题4: A．toy B．pencil C．flower D．notebook 小题5: A．laid B．set C．defeated D．lost 小题6: A．Over B．Above C．Inside D．Outside 小题7: A．ways B．ideas C．opinions D．views 小题8: A．referring to B．smiling at C．pointing to D．staring at 小题9: A．Unless B．As C．Until D．Before 小题10: A．happened B．went C．occurred D．got 小题11: A．already B．never C．rather D．ever 小题12: A．satisfied B．disappointed C．delighted D．surprised 小题13: A．helping B．teaching C．encouraging D．observing 小题14: A．scene B．sign C．look D．screen 小题15: A．dreaming B．regretting C．wondering D．joking 小题16: A．seldom B．hardly C．often D．badly 小题17: A．taken B．prevented C．learned D．separated 小题18: A．slow B．lively C．lucky D．friendly 小题19: A．Much B．Any C．Little D．None 小题20: A．turn B．feed C．draw D．base
