问题     The question of what children learn, and how they should learn it, is continually being debated and re-debated. Nobody dares any longer to defend the old system, the learning of lessons parrot-fashion, the grammar-with-a-whip system, which was good enough for our grandparents. The theories of modem psychology have stepped into argue that we must understand the needs of children. Children are not just small adults, they are children who must be respected as such.
    Well, you may say, this is as it should be a good idea. But think further, what happens? "Education" becomes the responsibility not of teachers but of psychologists. What happens then? Teachers worry too much about the psychological implications of their lessons, and forget about the subjects themselves. If a child dislikes a lesson, the teacher feels that it is his fault, not the child’s. So teachers worry whether history is relevant to modem young children. And do they dare to recount stories about violent battles? Or will this make the children themselves violent? Can they tell their classes about children of different races, or will this encourage racial hatred? Why teaching children to write grammatical sentences? Verbal expression is better Sums? Arithmetic? No: real-life mathematical situations are more understandable.
    You see, you can go too far. Influenced by educational theories, who have nothing better to do than write book about their ideas, teachers leave their teacher-training colleges filled with grand, psychological ideas about children and their needs. They make elaborate, sophisticated preparations and try out their modem standard on the long-suffering children. Since one modem method rapidly replaces another, the floor kids will have had a good bellyful by the time they leave school. Frequently the modem methods are so sophisticated that they fail to be understood by the teachers, let alone the children.
What happen when teachers focus too much attention to the psychological method of their lessons?
选项 A、Education of children becomes the responsibility of psychologists.
B、They neglect the actual lessons.
C、Children dislike their lessons.
D、They dare not to recount stories about violent battles.
答案B
解析 本题是细节题。A选项“教育成为心理学家而非教师的责任”是第一段相关内容导致的结果。B选项“他们忽视了课程本身”是第2段第6句后一部分的同义转述(neglect对应forget about)，故B选项为正确答案。C选项“孩子们不喜欢他们的课”是对原文中If a child dislikes a lesson的曲解，这是个假设从句。D选项“他们不敢讲述激烈的战斗故事”与原文意思不符。
