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.
From the text we learn that______.
选项
A、both Americans and immigrants are dissatisfied with the quality of American education
B、the author shares the general idea that American education is worse than education in many other countries
C、Japanese schools in America require their American teachers to teach mathematics at Japanese levels
D、the author’s German friend was a little displeased because the mathematics test for his son was too easy
答案
A
解析
从第一段的前两句话可知,土生土长的美国人和外国移民都抱怨美国的教育体系,因此答案为[A]。选项[D]“作者同意美国教育比很多其他国家的教育都糟糕的普遍看法”不对,因为作者在全文倒数第二句话里明确表态,认为美国的公共教育比其他任何国家的教育都要好得多。选项[C]提到“在美国的日本学校要求他们的美国教师以日本的水平教授数学”,其中应该是从日本请来的日本教师而不是“美国教师”。选项[D]“作者的德国朋友有一点不高兴因为他儿子的数学考试太容易”不准确,因为文中用的是“was filled with anger”,意为“非常愤怒”,而不仅仅是“was a little displeased”。
