Let children learn to judge their own work A child learning 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 thosearound him use Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language likeother people’s In the same way, children learn all the other things they learn to do

without being taught – to talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle – compare their own

performances 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 for himself, let alonecorrect them We do it all for him We act as if we thought that he would never notice amistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to Soon hebecomes dependent on the teacher Let him do it himself 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 theanswer book Let him correct his own papers Why should we teachers waste time onsuch routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can’t findthe way to get the right answer Let’s end all this nonsense of grades, exams, and marks.Let us throw them all out, and let the children learn what all educated persons mustsomeday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know

or do not know

Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help

as school teachers if they ask for it The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be

learnt at school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a world as complicated

The concept of obtaining fresh water from iceberg that is towed to populated areas

andarid regions of the world was once treated as a joke more appropriate to cartoons than real life But now it is being considered quite seriously by many nations, especially since

scientists have warned that the human race will outgrow its fresh water supply faster than

it runs out of food Glaciers are a possible source of fresh water that has been overlooked

until recently (A)

Three-quarters of the Earth's fresh water supply is still tied up in glacial ice, a reservoir ofuntapped fresh water so immense that it could sustain all the rivers of the world for 1,000years Floating on the oceans every year are 7,659 trillion metric tons of ice encased in10,000 icebergs that break away from the polaricecaps, more than ninety percent of them

from Antarctica (B)

Huge glaciers that stretch over the shallow continental shelf give birth to icebergsthroughout the year Icebergs are not like sea ice, which is formed when the sea itselffreezes; rather, they are formed entirely on land, breaking off when glaciers spread overthe sea As they drift away from the polar region, icebergs sometimes move mysteriously

in a direction opposite to the wind, pulled by subsurface currents Because they melt

more slowly than smaller pieces of ice, icebergs have been known to drift as far north as

35 degrees south of the equator in the Atlantic Ocean (C)

The difficulty arises in other technical matters, such as the prevention of rapid melting inwarmer climates and the funneling of fresh water to shore in great volume But even iftheicebergs lost half of their volume in towing, the water they could provide would befar

cheaper than that produced by desalination, or removing salt from water (D)

Question 43: What is the main topic of the passage?

C Future water shortages D The future of the world's rivers

C the population of arid areas D real life

A oceans B riversC glaciers D reservoirs

Question 47: The word “currents” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to _

A pulls B waves C weather D flows of water

Question 48: How are icebergs formed?

A They break off from glaciers B Seawater freezes

C Rivers freeze D Small pieces of floating ice converge

Question 49: With which of the following ideas would the author be likely to agree?

A Towing icebergs to dry areas is economically possible

B Desalination of water is the best way to obtain drinking water

C Using water from icebergs is a very short-term solution to water shortages

D Icebergs could not be towed very far before they would melt

Question 50: Which is the best place where the following sentence will most properly fit?

"To corral them and steer them to parts of the world where they are needed would notbetoo difficult."

A.(A) B (B) C (C) D (D)

Question 51: The word "that" in the last paragraph refers to

A the volume B the water C the iceberg D the towing

Question 52: What are the technical matters mentioned as the difficulty arising in theprocess of obtaining fresh water from the iceberg?

A The prevention of rapid melting iceberg

B The filtering water and the funneling it to shore in a large amount

C The purifying the fresh water and carrying it to shore

D The prevention of rapid melting and the funneling to shore in great volume
