21、Children’s Laureate (儿童桂冠作家), Chris Riddell, along with eight former Children’s Laureates, has written an open letter to Justine Greening, the British Secretary of State for Education, demanding an investigation into school library service closures.
Why should parents or pupils be concerned whether or not school libraries close? Are they rooms that are of little use to today’s Internet-connected student population, who have access to a world of books and information through their digital devices? Quite simply, school libraries, as well as their librarians, are critical to our children’s future.
Research has proved this to be the case. The level of development of a school library is a highly accurate predictor of academic success, which means that parents should perhaps go so far as to compare the libraries of the schools when seeking the right schools for their children. Chris Riddell and his fellow former Laureates are absolutely right to emphasize the importance of librarians in introducing children to life-changing books and turning them into lifelong readers. Librarians play the crucial role of introducing pupils to different genres (文体) or authors, as well as encouraging children of varying abilities to read.
However, if libraries were to have a “job description”, cultivating a love of reading and promoting literacy (读写能力) is just one of their essential roles. The other role is, to help students find out and access, through reading and understanding, the answers to their questions themselves. That is, to be an independent learner.
Independent learning skills are very much in demand by pupils and parents, as well as universities and employers, because real education is about so much more than just academic success or grades on a piece of paper. As Mary Beard, Professor of Classics at the University of Cambridge, pointed out, “the simple truth is that we can’t teach all that we would like them to know.” The emphasis therefore must now be on teaching children how to learn for themselves.
Libraries and librarians should be central in helping pupils understand how to access data or knowledge for their studies or interests — regardless of whether this is from a book an online resource or a journal.
It is equally important that libraries guide students on how to “read” the information that is available to them — a vitally important skill given that the Internet contains a large amount of mistakes and misinformation. But, of course, libraries can only offer this support and guidance if they are properly valued, which means that we need as many voices as possible to be “shouting” about the importance of libraries in the education of our children.
【1】According to the passage, it has been confirmed that ________.
A. libraries can reflect the academic success of schools
B. libraries are almost useless to today’s Internet-connected students
C. parents take libraries seriously when selecting schools for their children
D. librarians are crucially important to students’ future development
【2】The author thinks that libraries should play a role in ________.
A. turning students into lifelong readers
B. developing students’ ability to read and write
C. introducing students to different genres
D. encouraging children of different abilities to read
【3】Why should independent learning be emphasized according to the passage?
A. It helps students achieve high grades in their exams.
B. Universities and parents don’t pay much attention to it at present.
C. Real education is about learning independently rather than about academic success.
D. Students can’t acquire enough knowledge through being taught by others.
【4】In the last paragraph, the author thinks that ________.
A. libraries may be a source of false information
B. Students’ ability to obtain information is vitally important
C. libraries should teach students how to seek the available information
D. students should learn to distinguish between true and false information
22、 BEIJING—Apple Inc is one step closer to beginning sales of iPad2 tablet computers with cellular network compatibility （兼容） for the first time in the Chinese mainland, where the consumer-electronics giant is in the midst of an aggressive expansion．
According to China’s Telecommunication Equipment Certification Center, a device by Apple with third-generation high-speed wireless data capabilities was issued the network access license needed for the company to begin official sales in China．The device, listed under model number “A1396”, is compatible with the 3G standard WCDMA, and would work with the cellular network operated by Apple’s local iPhone partner, China Unicom （Hong Kong） Ltd．
China Unicom declined to comment．
Apple already offers the 3G iPad2 in Hong Kong through its partners, but currently only offers Wi-Fi versions of the device in the Chinese mainland．Still, consumers in China, which according to research firm IDC surpassed the US as the world’s largest PC market in the second quarter, have been purchasing 3G tablets through unofficial channels．
Separately, Apple spokeswoman Carolyn Wu said on Sept 6 that the company’s first Hong Kong store, set to open this quarter, will be located in the city’s central shopping and business district in the International Finance Center’s upscale （高档的） IFC mall, a commercial center and sightseeing spot along the city’s waterfront．Wu also said that Apple is planning a new store in Shanghai later this quarter, which will be its biggest store in China．She declined to give more details or to comment on the 3G iPad2．
Apple currently has four full-service Apple stores in the mainland, which receive the most traffic of any Apple stores in the world．The company otherwise relies on resellers to get its products into the market．
The new stores reflect Apple’s confidence in rising demand for its products such as smart phones and tablet computers．Sales in the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan helped boost （增长） the company’s third-quarter results, newly appointed Chief Executive Tim Cook said in July．China revenue （收益） surged （激增） six-fold to about $3．8 billion during the three months ended June 25．
“This has been a substantial （重大） opportunity for Apple and I firmly believe that we’re just scratching the surface right now,” Cook said at the time, referring to strong sales in China．“I see an incredible opportunity for Apple there．”
