18、ad been able to celebrate the HarvestMoon Festival with her one last time.Everyone said it was remarkable that Yinlan had died justtwo days after the holiday.Actually,the timing of Yinlans death was not remarkable at all.Recently sociologists（社 会 学 家）studied the death rate among elderly Chinese wome

19、n in California.They discovered that the deathrate drops 35 percent before the Harvest Moon Festival and then rises 35 percent.Sociologistsbelieve that these changes in death rate show the minds power over the body.The Harvest MoonFestival,when families gather,is important to elderly Chinese women.A

20、pparently some womenare able to postpone（推 延）their deaths so that they can celebrate the festival one last time.The idea that people can postpone the time of their deaths is not new.Many families tell stories ofa relative who held on to life until after an important event.The stories people tell,how

25、 between teaching and learning,they will continue toundertake things for children that children can only do for themselves.Teaching children to read isnot passing reading on to them.It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading.Douglas insists that reading cannot be taught dire

26、ctly and schools should stop trying to do theimpossible.HTeaching and learning are two entirely different processes.They differ in kind and function.Thefunction of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible forchildren to devise the most efficient system for teac

27、hing themselves to read.Teaching is also apublic activity:it can be seen and observed.Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printedlanguage.Almost all of it is private,for learning is an occupation of the mind,and that process isnot open to public exam

28、ination.If teacher and learner roles are distinguishable,how can teaching aid the child in the quest forknowledge?Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions.nMake learning to read easy,which means making reading a meaningful,enjoyable and frequent experience for children.When the rol

29、es of teacher and learner are seen for what they are,and when both teacher andlearner fulfill them appropriately,then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both iseliminated.Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where childrenare given the opportunity to solve

34、 rather than taughtD.reading is more complicated than generally believedSociety usually tends to focus on the negative side of inner-city schools.Many people like tostereotype(模 式 化)these schools which,while these general statements may be true in somecases,tend to be worse most of the time.People t

35、hink that the students of these schools receiveinferior educations.My school,an inner-city school named St.Ignatius,is regarded as one of thebest in the state.People also believe that violence occurs on a daily basis,both in the school itselfand in the nearby city.I cannot even remember a serious fi

36、ght at St.Ignatius.People who thinkthat the teachers at inner-city schools lack love for their job worsen this typical stereotype evenfurther.My teachers not only had a love for teaching,but they were also able to cultivate a lovefor learning in their students.Take Mrs.Borroni,my Spanish teacher,for

37、 example.She would often take time out of her class totell her students about the numerous activities after class with which we should get involved.Sheloved her job so much that she stayed after school every day to moderate activities such asAmnesty International(an international organization that p

38、rotects human rights)and the SpanishClub.Her students,including me,joined all of the clubs which she moderated just because shemade them so interesting.After reading all of this,most people would argue that St.Ignatius should not be considered a trueinner-city school”.While this may hold some truth,

42、 all bad,as they can be good.C.They are much poorer than those in the suburbs.D.The students there are more enlightened.Before going to high school,I had a very simple view of life.I usually did not think about thesubjects of crime,poverty,or homelessness.As far as I knew,these things did not exist.

43、The areaaround my school forced my eyes open as early as the first day of school.On the long bus ridethrough the city,I saw homeless dogs walking the streets.I also clearly recall seeing a homelessperson picking through a trash can for the first time ever.The poverty of the area around myschool made

44、 me see how truly lucky I was.I now began to appreciate everything which had beenhanded to me in life.In the long run,this led me to put a lot more faith in God because of all thatHe had given me.I started going to religious services more often.This also indirectly led to myinvolvement in the commun

45、ity around the school.Students*lives become enriched simply by attending an inner-city school.When a person isexposed to city life,many different advantages can be gained.For someone who had lived in thesuburbs all his life,such as myself,a new style of living can be experienced.This alone expandson

46、es views of life in general.The religious aspect of my life grew,I was easily able to getinvolved in community service projects,and I became much more aware of the dangers whichexist in the city.Going to school in the city helped me to overcome the simple views I once had,and I am now better prepare
