They cant see that we live on a dirty street in a dirty house among people who arent much good. But Johnny a

15、nd children cant see this. What a pity it is that our neighbours have to make happiness out of all this dirt. I decided that my children must get out of this. The money that weve saved isnt nearly enough. The McGaritys have money but they are so proud. They look down upon the poor. The McGarity girl

16、 just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of candy(糖果)while a ring of hungry children watched her. I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts; and when she couldnt eat any more she threw the rest down the sewer(下水道). Why, is it only because they have money ?

21、ching in most public schools. Pretests, drills, tests, and retests.

I believe that my daughter Erica, who gets excellent marks, has never read a chapte

22、r of any of her school textbooks all the way through. And teachers are often heard to say proudly and openly that they teach to the test. Teaching to the test is a curious phenomenon现象. Instead of deciding what skills students ought to learn, helping students learn them, and then using some methods

23、of assessment评价 to discover whether students have mastered the skills, teachers are encouraged to teach the students in the opposite way. First one looks at a test. Then one chooses the skills needed not to master reading, but to do well in the test. Finally, the test skills are taught. The ability

24、to read or write might suggest the ability to do reasonably well on standardized tests. However, neither reading nor writing develops simply through being taught to take tests. We must be careful to avoid mistaking preparations for a test of a skill with the acquisition习得of that skill. Too many disc

25、ussions of basic skills make this misunderstanding because people are tested rather than concerned with the nature and quality of what is taught. Recently, many schools have faced what could be called the crisis of comprehension or, in simple words, the phenomenon of students with grammar skills sti

26、ll being unable to understand what they read. These students are quite good at test taking and filling in workbooks.

A. some good methods of assessment should take the place of tests B. more attention should be paid to the nature and quality of what is taught C. students should not be concerned with grades but do more reading and thinking D

31、 on tests but cant understand what they readCWho are these people rushing by you in the street? More than 215 million people now call America “home, but most of them can trace their families back to other parts of the world. If you look at the names on shop windows, you will see that Americans come

32、from many different lands. The idea that these people, who once were strangers to the United States, have lost the customs and cultures of their original countries and have become “American is really not true.

33、ps of people from other countries often have kept many of their customs and habits. They join the general American society only in certain areas of their livessuch as in schools, business, and sportsbut they keep many of their own native customs and manners socially and at home.
