22、Step into an American preschool classroom today and you are likely to fall into a so-called print-rich environment,every surface colorfully decorated with instructional posters,classroom rules,chedules,and mottos,few of which a 4-year-old can understand in fact.
Besides the confusing things on classroom walls,teaching methods and curriculums have changed recently,by which more time is spent on what’s called “seat work”一workbooks and worksheets—but less time devoted to music and art.School—readiness skills are essential for the youngest learners to move on to a subsequent stage. As a result, expectations that may arguably have been reasonable for 5-and 6-year-olds, such as bemg able to sit at a desk and using pencil and paper,are now directed at even younger children, who lack the motor skills and attention span to be successful.
However,parents of preschoolers tend to be on board with these changes,because they fear that the old—fashioned pleasures of unhurried learning have no place in today’s highly competitive world.The stress is obvious:Pick the “wrong” preschool and your child might not go to college.She might not be employable. She might not even be allowed to start first grade!
As preschoolers are learning so much academic knowledge at earlier ages,they seem somehow less curious and less engaged.Some teachers say that more children today seem to lack the language skills.The real focus in the preschool years should not be just on vocabularv and reading,but on talking and listening.By talking with adults, and one another,they pick up information,learn how things work and solve puzzles that trouble them.For our littlest learners,what could be more important than that?
【1】Which of the statements does the author probably agree with?
A.Younger children can fully understand the instructional things in classrooms.
B.3-and 4-year-olds shouldn’t be expected too much in school readiness skills.
C.More time should be spent on“seat work’’ instead of music and art.
D.Even 5-and 6-year-olds have good motor skills and attention span.
【2】The underlined phrase “be on board with” in the third paragraph most probably means “ ”.
A.accept B.reject C.doubt D.worry
【3】Why are parents so picky when choosing a preschool for their kids?
A.Because some preschools are too old fashioned.
B.Because a wrong preschool might ruin kids’ future.
C.Because the competitions between kindergartens are fierce.
D.Because it is easy for them to choose a right preschool.
【4】What’s the best title of the passage?
A.New Preschool Breaking down the Kids.
B.The Early Bird Gets the Worm.
C.Preschool,the Gatekeeper to Elementary School?
D.Seat work,a Better Choice for the Youngest Kids?
23、The Weirdest Restaurants In The World
Regardless of the occasion, we all have our favorite restaurant to dine at, the fifth-generation Italian pizzeria in the corner, or the traditional diner that looks so run down yet serves delicious food. But just how weird can restaurants get? You’ll be amazed, so keep reading.
Ithaa, Maldives.
One of the most beautiful restaurants in the world, Ithaa is located fully under the sea and offers spectacular views to anyone brave enough to book a table. You can dine with fish all around you and enjoy a 180-degree panoramic (全景的) view. The menu is, as you might have guessed, seafood based.
O. Noir, Canada.
O. Noir in Canada is the first restaurant to introduce the concept of dining in the dark. The idea is that when our sense of sight is lost, others are heightened, so eating in the dark can only mean we’re more focused on the taste, smells and flavors than Instagram filters.
Duke’s Last Resort, US.
Duke's Last Resort is not a restaurant for sensitive people. Staff here get paid to be rude to the customers. Duke's Last Resort is famous for bad words, mocking customers and basically telling them they're cheap when they only order tap water.
The Shed, Dulwich.
One of the weirdest restaurants in the world is this one which doesn’t exist. How come? A journalist by the name of Oobah Butler decided to pull a gastronomic prank (美食恶作剧) and ended up having his fake restaurant ranked number one in London on TripAdvisor. A fried egg on a heel, a sponge covered in paint and some round-shaped power bleach powder are use some of the dishes that built The Shed’s high reputation.
【1】Which restaurant can you go to if you want your experience to be all about the food?
A.Ithaa, Maldives.
B.O. Noir, Canada.
C.Duke’s Last Resort, US.
D.The Shed, Dulwich.
