Personality is to a large extent inherent -- A type parents usually bring about A type offspring. But the environment must also have a profound effect, since if competition is important to the parents, it is likely to become a major factor in the lives of their children.
One place where children soak up A characteristics is school, which is, by its very nature, a highly competitive institution. Too many schools adopt the "win at all costs" moral standard and measure their success by sporting achievements. The current. passion for making children compete against their classmates or against the clock produces a two-layer system, in which competitive A types seem in some way better than their B type fellows. Being too keen to win can have dangerous consequences: remember that Pheidippides, the first marathon runner, dropped dead seconds after saying :" Rejoice, we conquer !"
By far the worst form of competition in schools is the disproportionate emphasis on examinations. It is a rare school that allows pupils to concentrate on those things they do well. The merits of competition by examination are somewhat questionable, but competition in the certain knowledge of failure is positively harmful.
Obviously, it is neither practical nor desirable that all A youngsters change into B’s. The world needs types, and schools have an important duty to try to fit a child’s personality to his possible future employment. It is top management.
If the preoccupation of schools with academic work Was lessened, more time might be spent teaching children surer values. Perhaps selection for the caring professions, especially medicine, could be made less by good grades in chemistry and more by such considerations as sensitivity and sympathy. It is surely a mistake to choose our doctors exclusively from A type stock. B’s are important and should be encouraged.
The author is strongly opposed to the practice of examinations at schools because ______ .
选项
A、students are encouraged to concentrate on those things they do well
B、some students are bound to fail
C、failure rates are too high
D、the results of examinations are doubtful
答案
B
解析
此题为细节题。答案在第三段。注意文中的“一”,言外之意为:多数学校不允许学生发展自己的兴趣特长,而A项与此意相悖。 B)be bound to do sth.意为“肯定会……;一定……”,文中有与之相关的线索词“certain knowledge of failure”,通过考试竞争是否有益有些令人怀疑,但有一点是肯定的,Bp,注定要失败的竞争是有害的,据此作者反对考试这一作法,因此B项符合题意。C项文中未提及。D项把原文中的merits偷换成了results。
