29、 ahead of timewill only kill their passion to learn.However,many parents called it impractical,despite the 54._ of thedraft law.That is because teaching ahead of time is not limited to kindergartens.Itexists in primary,middle and high schools,too.There has always been pressure inChina that children

34、word or phrase that best fits thecontext.Sadly,far too few schools make science attractive.Textbooks are as dull asdictionaries.As a result,too many children think that science is only for people asclever as Einstein.But actually children start out as _61_ scientists,eager to look into the worldarou
35、nd them.Helping them enjoy science can be easy;theres no _62_ for a lotof scientific terms or expensive lab equipment.You only have to share your childrens_63_.Firstly,listen to their questions.I once visited a classroom of seven yearolds to talk about science as a job.The children asked me“textbook
36、 questions”aboutschooling,salary and whether I liked my job.When I finished answering,we satfacing one another in silence.Finally I said,“Now that were finished with your lists,do you have questions of your own about _64_?”After a long pause,a boy raised his hand,“Have you ever seen a grasshopper(蚱蜢
37、)_65_?When I try eating leaves like that,I get a stomachache.Why?”Thisbegan a set of questions that lasted nearly two hours.Secondly,give them time to think.Studies over the past 30 years have shown that,after asking a question,adults _66_ wait only one second or less for an answer,no time for a chi
38、ld to think.When adults increase their“wait time”to three seconds ormore,children give more logical,complete and creative answers.Thirdly,watch your _67_.Once you have a child involved in a sciencediscussion,dont _68_ with“Thats right”or“Very good”.These words workwell when it comes to encouraging g
39、ood behavior.But in talking about science,quick_69_ can signal that discussion is over._70_,keep things going by saying“Thats interesting”or“Id never thought of it that way before”,or coming up withmore questions or ideas.Never _71_ a child to“Think”.It doesnt _72_.Children are alwaysthinking,withou
40、t your telling them to.Whats more,this can turn a conversation intoa _73_.The child will try to find the answer you want,in as few words aspossible,so that he will be a smaller target for your disagreement.Lastly,show;dont tell._74_ impressions of nature are far more impressivethan any lesson childr
41、en can learn from a book or a television program.Let childrenlook at their fingertips through a magnifying glass(放镜),and theyll understandwhy you want them to wash before dinner._75_ saying that water evaporates(蒸发),set a pot of water to boil and let them watch the water level drop.61.A.cleverB.natu

45、A)Peanuts to ThisProudly reading my words,I glanced around the room,only to find my classmatesbearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes.Confused,I glanced towardmy stone-faced teacher.Having no choice,I slowly raised the report I had slaved over,hoping to hide myself.“What could be c
46、ausing everyone to act this way?”Quickly,I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task.This was thefirst real talk I received in my new school.It seemed simple:go on the Internet andfind information about a man named George Washington.Since my idea of historycame from an ancient teacher i
47、n my home country,I had never heard of that namebefore.As I searched the name of this fellow,it became obvious that there were twopeople having the same name who looked completely different!One inventedhundreds of uses for peanuts,while the other led some sort of army across America.Istared at the s
48、creen,wondering which one my teacher meant.I called my grandfatherfor a golden piece of advice:flip(掷)a coin.Headsthe commander,and tailsthepeanuts guy.Ah!Tails,my report would be about the great man who invented peanutbutter,George Washington Carver.But now,I was totally lost.Oh well,I lowered the
49、paper and sat down at my desk,burning to find out what I had done wrong.As a classmate began his report,it allbecame clear,“My report is on George Washington,the man who started theAmerican Revolution.”The whole world became quite!How could I know that shemeant that George Washington?Obviously,my gr
50、ade was awful.Heartbroken but fearless,I decided to turn thisaround.I talked to Miss Lancelot,but she insisted:No re-dos;no new grade.I felt thatthe punishment was not justified,and I believed I should have a second chance.Consequently,I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school
