In a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents listed "to give children a good start academically" as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.
In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individually oriented Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importance of the group seen in
Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education.
Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens.
We learn from the first paragraph that many Americans believe_________.
选项
A、Japanese parents are more involved in preschool education than American parents
B、Japan’s economic success is a result of its scientific achievements
C、Japanese preschool education emphasizes academic instruction
D、Japan’s higher education is superior to theirs
答案
C
解析
细节题。本题的答题依据为首段第二、三句:However…aeademic instruction,“但是日本的学龄前学校所提供的答案并不是美国人所期待寻求的。在大多数日本学龄前学校中,普通文化课教育并不受到重视”。由此可知,美国人认为13本学龄前教育重视文化课教育,实际却不是。故C项为正确答案。A项“日本父母比美国父母更多参与学前教育”,文章并没有比较。B项中的economic success和scientific achievements在原文中属并列,并没有因果关系。D项文中未提及。
