Let children learn to judge their own.A child who learns to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time; if corrected too much,he will stop talking.He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use.Little by little,he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's,in the same way,children learn to do all the other things without being taught﹣to walk,run,climb,ride a bicycle﹣compare (比较) their own performances(表现) with those of more skilled people,and slowly make the needed changes.But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him,or correct it unless he was made to.Let him work out,with the help of other children if he wants it,what this word says,what the answer is to that problem,whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answers,as it may be in mathematics or science,give him the answer book.Let him correct his own papers.Why should we teachers waste time in doing such work?Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can't find the way to get their own understanding,how to know what they know or do not know.
32.According to the passage,the best way for children to learn things is
A.to listen to skilled people's advice
B.to ask older people many questions
C.to make mistakes and have them corrected
D.to do what other people do
33.According to the writer,teachers in school should

C.correct children's mistakes as possible as they can
D.give children more book knowledge
34.Which of the following does the writer think teachers should not do?
A.Give children correct answers
B.allow children to make mistakes
C.Point out children's mistakes
D.Let children judge their own work
35.The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are .

Many people believe that classical music is not relevant to young people today. However, this issue frequently causes heated debate.
33 .For example, if you look at the audience at a classical concert, the majority is over the age of fifty. Others say it is more popular than we first imagine. 34 .It is often used in films and advertisements. For example, a famous piece of classical music was used as the theme music for the 1990 World Cup . Not many people could have given its name, but millions enjoyed it .
35 for example, it is said that rap(说唱) music was invented by a classical musician in 1912, but it is now used by young people in pop music.
However, young people point to the fact that classical music has been outstripped(超越) by technology. To play a classical instrument, such as a violin, you need to study hard and practice for hours. 36 A teenager can write and make music using a computer program in the comfort of their own bedroom.
A final point to bear in mind is that the term "classical music" is used to refer to different kinds of music, from jazz to pieces for large orchestras(管弦乐队). 37
So, it may be only a minority of young people who play classical instruments, but when it comes to enjoying classical music, it depends on the piece of music. It may be more relevant to young people in the modern world than they realize!
A. In fact, many young people enjoy classical music.
B. Most of young people are tired of the classical music.
C. Nowadays, you don't need to get aching arms from practicing.
D. Many young people listen to classical music without realizing it.
E. Some people say that classical music is connected only with old people.
F. Also, some people point out that young people produce new music based on classical ideas.
G. This makes it even more difficult to say whether classical music is relevant to young people.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never 55 his wife, but sometimes tests her strengths and her resolve to stand beside him 56 . And finally, I gave her a tear to shed. She can use it whenever it is needed.”
“You see, the beauty of a woman is not in the 57 she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she 58 her hair. The 59 of a woman must be seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart and the place where love 60 .”

Tom studied in our middle school three years ago. Last August his father found a job in another city and his family moved there. He began to study in the new school and we often write to each other. He often tells me something about the city where he lives now and his studies in the school. So I can know what happens to him.
Last Friday Tom came to our city again. He hopes to accompany his old grandpa during the summer holiday. He's taller and stronger than before. We swim in the river outside the city together or have a picnic on the island. It surprises me that he has learned to cook when we were traveling in the wild forest. He told me his parents were both busy and sometimes he stayed at home alone and he had to look after himself.
“How do you like your school?” I asked.
“Wonderful,” said the young man. “It has a tall building and there're two chemistry labs, two biology labs and three physics ones. And its library is big and there're plenty of books in it.”
“I can see you are satisfied with it.”
“Yes,” he answered. “But our geography teacher often says to himself in class.”
“So does our new history teacher,” I said. “But he doesn't notice it. He often talks on and on in a flow of eloquence (口才). But none of us listens to him!”

Nowadays, the destruction of forests is one of most serious environment problems. From that I understand, people are destroying thousands of square kilometers of trees every day. This is killing hundreds of wild animals live in the forests. But something must be done. Unfortunately, we don’t do everything to protect the forests.
People who cut down trees should go to prison. That’s what happens in some country to people who sell plastic bags. That’s what should happened to people who destroy the forests. I can’t help but to think that we must protect wildlife for future generations. Hopeful, our children will be even much responsible that we are today.
