A spelling mistake on a sign outside a state primary school had me banging my head in despair—but don’t be panicked into thinking state education is fundamentally disabled. There’s a notice on our local park gate, made by a local state primary school pupil, saying: “there is know things like the poo fairy.” What a good idea—a campaign to encourage the dog-owners among us to pick up their dog’s waste! And what an attractive and eye-catching poster! But “KNOW poo fairy”? why didn’t the teacher check the spelling before the poster was completed and displayed before the public? Didn’t he/she realize that not only is bad spelling a worry, but even worse—this is the sort of thing that could easily bring joy to Mr. Gove’s heart, because it seems to prove him right—ordinary state schools bad and academies good. And the country may take his propaganda (宣传) seriously. Show the panicking parents one bad spelling from a non-academy school, suggesting that it’s filled with wild and unqualified staff, and they’ll be scared that their children will come out walking on all fours, and must be marched straight into an academy—and institution full of exam results and undemocratic management. Don’t fall for it, parents. Like thousands of teachers in state schools, and local authorities, you can care about children’s education and standards of literacy, you can even love Latin, without singing up to the Gove brigade (队列). Just because he has had an insight into our terrors and recognized our dreams, it does mean that he just knows how to take us in and what works in his favor. “That ‘know poo’ teacher has scored an own goal,” says Fielding, “and you’re in a dilemma here. You’re caught between your enthusiasm for accurate grammar and your well-meaning social responsibilities” Even Fielding doesn’t get it. You can have the two thing together—high standards in comprehensives. We do not need academic. You can manage it! 53.       “Know” in the poster should probably be spelled as ________. A. no                                  B. now                                  C. new                                   D. nor 54.       Who is Mr. Gove in the passage? A. A pupil’s father concerned about education.        B. A teacher of a state primary school. C. An advocate for academy.                                        D. An enthusiast of literacy. 55.       We can learn from the passage that the author________. A. felt hopeless at the state primary education B. tried to defend the spelling mistakes in the poster C. thought highly of academy’s educational standard D. was opposed to Mr. Gove’s misleading propaganda. 56.       What is the author’s tune towards state primary education? A. Negative                       B. Cooperative                    C. Encouraging                   D. Praiseful 答案：ACDC
