Americans who remember "the good old days" are not alone in complaining about the educational system in this country. Immigrants (移民) complain, too. Lately a German friend was filled with anger when he learned that the mathematics test given to his son on his first day as a college freshman included multiplication and division. Japanese businessmen in Los Angeles send their children to private schools staffed by teacher imported from Japan to learn mathematics at Japanese levels, generally considered at least a year more advanced than the level here.
But I wonder: If American education is so poor, why is it that this is still the country of innovation (创新) ?
When I was 12 in Indonesia, I had ko memorize the names of all the world’s major cities, from Kabul to Karachi. At the same age, my son, who was brought up a Californian, thought that Buenos Aires was Spanish for good food. However, unlike children of his age in Asia and Europe, my son had studied creative geography. When he was only 6, he drew a map of the route that he traveled to get to school, including the streets, the traffic signs and the houses that he passed.
Dissatisfied American parents forget that in this country their children are able to experiment freely with ideas; without this they will not really be able to think Or to believe in themselves.
Critics of American education cannot grasp one thing: freedom. America, I think, is the only country that extends even to children the license to freely speak, write and be creative. Our public education certainly is not perfect, but it is a great deal better than any other. I think I have found the answer to my question.
Which of the following is NOT true?
选项
A、The author most probably was an immigrant from Asia and received some school education there.
B、Buenos Aires must be the name of a city, as are Kabul and Karachi.
C、Children in other countries are not likely to learn creative geography.
D、The knowledge of geography of the author’s son shows that American education is poor.
答案
D
解析
四个选项的大意分别是:选项[A]“作者可能是来自亚洲的移民并在那受过一些学校教育”;选项[D]“布宜诺斯艾利斯一定和喀布尔和卡拉奇一样是一个城市的名字”,选项[C]“其他国家的孩子可能没有学习创造性地理学”,选项[D]“作者的儿子地理知识(贫乏),这表明美国的教育很糟糕”显然与全文大意不符。
