A child’s world is fresh and new and beautiful, full of wonder and excitement. It is our misfortune that for most of us that clear-eyed vision, that true instinct for what is beautiful and awe-inspiring, is dimmed and even lost before we reach adulthood. If I had influence with the good fairy who is supposed to preside over the christening(洗礼形式)of all children I should ask that her gift to each child in the world be a sense of wonder so that it would last throughout life, as an unfailing antidote against the boredom and disenchantments of later years, the sterile preoccupation with things that are artificial, the alienation from the sources of our strength.
If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder without any such gift from the fairies, he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in. Parents often have a sense of inadequacy when confronted with a world of complex physical nature, inhabited by a life so various and unfamiliar that it seems hopeless to reduce it to order and knowledge. In a mood of self-defeat, they exclaim, "How can I possibly teach my child about nature—why, I don’t even know one bird from one another!"
I sincerely believe that for the child, and for the parent seeding to guide him, it is not half so important to know as to feel. If facts are the seeds that later produce knowledge and wisdom, then the emotions and the impressions of the senses are the fertile soil in which the seeds must grow. The years of early childhood are the time to prepare the soil. Once the emotions have been aroused—a sense of the beautiful, the excitement of the new and the unknown, a feeling of sympathy, pity, admiration or love—then we wish for knowledge about the object of our emotional response. Once found, it has lasting meaning. It is more important to pave the way for the child to want to know than to put him on diet of facts he is not ready to assimilate. (362 words)
According to the author, the key person in keeping alive a child’s inborn sense of wonder is______.
选项
A、teacher
B、parent
C、the child him or herself
D、fairy
答案
B
解析
要让孩子们保持天生的好奇心,需要大人的指点。在第二段里,作者说,既然让仙女赋予孩子们这种能力是不可能的,那么这就需要我们大人来帮助孩子。虽然作者没有直接说出谁应该承担这个责任,但作者批评了父母,说他们总是以强调自己知识不够为理由而不重视对孩子天赋的保持。从这个角度来说,应该选B。
