问题     So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do for children that which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible. "
    Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity: It can be seen and observed.
    Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world in printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public scrutiny.
    If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will aid the child in the quest (探索) for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children. "
    When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading. (280 words)

解析 本题属于主题归纳题。综合上述分析,短文第一段最后一句和短文结论句(最后一段最后一句),可概括出主题:阅读能力不能直接由教师传授,只能由学生通过阅读本身来自学并解决阅读学习中碰到的问题,教师应做的是为学生创造一种能激发其学习欲望的学习环境和气氛。
