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.
Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens?
选项
A、They can do better in their future studies.
B、They can accumulate more group experience there.
C、They can be individually oriented when they grow up.
D、They can have better chances of getting a first-rate education.
答案
D
解析
细节题。根据题干信息定位到文章倒数第二句后半句:it will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted to top—rated schools and universities,“能增加自己孩子将来考入一流中、小学和大学的机会”。D项中的have better chances对应文中的increase the children’s chances,a first—rate education对应文中的top-rated schools and universities,故D项为正确答案。文章只是说上大学附属幼儿园就会大大增加被一流学校和大学录取的机会,并不能说他们将来的学业一定就更好。所以A项不妥。日本幼儿园普遍重视group experience,而不仅仅局限在大学附属幼儿园,所以B项也不对。
