Anyone who doubts that children are born with a healthy amount of ambition need spend only a few minutes with a baby eagerly learning to walk or a headstrong toddler starting to talk. No matter how many times the little ones stumble in their initial efforts, most keep on trying, determined to master their amazing new skill. It is only several years later, around the start of middle or junior high school, many psychologists and teachers agree, that a good number of kids seem to lose their natural drive to succeed and end up joining the ranks of underachievers. For the parents of such kids, whose own ambition is often inseparately tied to their children’ s success, it can be a
bewildering
, painful experience. So it is no wonder some parents find themselves hoping that ambition can be taught like any other subject at school.
It’ s not quite that simple. "Kids can be given the opportunities, but they can’t be forced," says Jacquelynne Eccles, a psychology professor at the University of Michigan who led a study examining what motivated first-and-seventh-graders in three school districts. Even so, a growing number of educators and psychologists do believe it is possible to
unearth
ambition in students who don’ t seem to have much. They say that by instilling confidence, encouraging some risk taking, being accepting of failure and expanding the areas in which children may be successful, both pa-rents and teachers can
reignite
that innate desire to achieve.
Dubbed Brainology, the unorthodox approach uses basic neuroscience to teach kids how the brain works and how it can continue to develop throughout life. The message is that everything is within the kids’ control, that their intelligence is malleable.
Some experts say our education system, with its strong emphasis on testing and rigid separation of students into different levels of ability, also bears blame for the disappearance of drive in some kids. Some educators say it’ s important to expose kids to a world beyond homework and tests, through volunteer work, sports, hobbies and other extracurricular activities. "The crux of the issue is that many students experience education as irrelevant to their life goals and ambitions," says Michael Nakkula, a Harvard education professor who runs a Boston-area mentoring program called Project IF(Inventing the Future), which works to get low-income underachievers in touch with their
aspirations
. The key to getting kids to aim higher at school is to tell them the notion that classwork is irrelevant is not true, to show them how doing well at school can actually help them fulfill their dreams beyond it. Like any ambitious toddler, they need to understand that they have to learn to walk before they can run.
Some experts suggest that many kids lose ambition in school because they are______
选项
A、cut off from the outside world
B、exposed to school work only
C、kept away from class competition
D、labeled as inferior to others
答案
D
解析
根据文中第一段的内容“Some experts say our education system,with its strongemphasis on testing and rigid separation of students into different levels of ability,alsobears blame for the disappearance of drive in some kids.”可知,我们的教育制度强调考试,并把学生分成不同能力水平的等级,导致孩子们缺少动力。所以D项“他们被贴上了比其他人差的标签”符合题意。A项“与外面的世界隔离”,B项“只接受学校作业”,C项“远离班级竞争”,这三项都不是很多学生在学校里丧失雄心的主要原因。
