12、baby is,well, just playing right?Perhaps,but some developmental psychologists()have argued that this “play ”is more like a scientific investigation than one might think. Take a closer look at the baby playing at the table.Each time the bowl of rice is pushed over the table edge,it falls in the groun

13、d-and, in the process, it belongs out important evidence about how physical objects interact ; bowls of rice do not flood in mid-sit, but require support to remain stable. It is likely that babies are not born knowing the basic fact of the universe; nor are they ever clearly taught it. Instead, babi

14、es may form an understanding of object support through repeated experiments and then build on this knowledge to learn even more about how objects interact. Though their ranges and tools differ, the babys investigation and the scientists experiment appear to share the same aim(to learn about the natu

15、ral world ), overall approach (gathering direct evidence from the world), and logic (are my observations what I expected?). 名师资料总结 - - -精品资料欢迎下载 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 名师精心整理 - - - - - - - 第 3 页，共 15 页 - - - - - - - - - 4 Some psychologists suggest that young children learn about more t

16、han just the physical world in this way-that they investigate human psychology and the rules of language using similar means. For example, it may only be through repeated experiments, evidence gathering, and finally overturning a theory, that a baby will come to accept the idea that other people can

17、 have different views and desires from what he or she has, for example, unlike the child , Mommy actually doesn t like Dove chocolate. Viewing childhood development as a scientific investigation throws on how children learn ,but it also offers an inspiring look at science and scientists. Why do youn

18、g children and scientists seem to be so much alike? Psychologists have suggested that science as an effort -the desire to explore, explain, and understand our world-is simply something that comes from our babyhood. Perhaps evolution provided human babies with curiosity and a natural drive to explain

19、 their worlds, and adult scientists simply make use of the same drive that served them as children. The same cognitive systems that make young children feel good about feel good about figuring something out may have been adopted by adult scientists. As some psychologists put it, ”It is not that chil

20、dren are little scientists but that scientists are big children.”21According to some developmental psychologists, A. a baby s play is nothing more than a game.B. scientific research into babies; games is possible C. the nature of babies play has been thoroughly investigatedD. a baby s play is someho

Many years ago my student asked me the question, Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach? Without taking time to reflect, I

25、 answer ed, Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someones life. Even though I was sincere, that wasnt a very good answer and my student didnt let it slide. Let me get this straight, he said, You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because

26、you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone? He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. Im one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift. Even though that particular student might no long

27、er wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach: Its in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled(逐渐灌输 ) in me a love of reading and the knowledge

28、 that education opens doors. Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples go on and on until they reach the shore. You cant have ripples without a stone. Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and thats what I strive to do. I genuinely love

29、teenagers. I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, I want to do so. If theyll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too. 名师资料总结 - - -精

They are curious and unusually patient and they are also the hardest-working people I have ever met. In

43、 China, family is everything. In my English classes when the students were asked what they would do if they only had a few hours to live, most students told me how they would spend their last few hours with their families and parents. Many times the subjects in the classes center on families and fri

44、ends. I teach many students a year, talking to them freely. The cost of living here is very low compared with that of the US. The city of Xiang Fan I live in isnt large and I live better. Non-imported(非出口的 ) foods are very cheap, so are clothing and articles of everyday use. The cost of public trans

45、portation is very low, too. Chinese value education. However, it is reported that many children cant afford the expenses of schooling and are forced to leave school in some poor areas in China.

46、school. In my opinion, Project Hope is of great importance to the development of the rural education. When we read news of China in the west, rarely, if ever, will we see anything mentioned of the positive changes China has gone through. While it is true that economic miracles have not reached many
