Skills vs. Knowledge in Education

Education systems all over the world are based on the idea that students get and remember information from teachers and books. These systems test this knowledge with standardized tests which compare students to each other. They only test the kind of information which is possible to measure(测试，测量) in tests. The goal is gaining information, not developing skills by which to use and make information. Unlike the old style of education where people remembered things in order to pass tests and get higher scores than other students, the modern world calls for a new kind of education in which the focus(焦点) is deep understanding, creativity and information management skills.

Einstein said "Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Use information in creative ways. Knowledge is what other people have created. Understanding is all about what you think about something. Everybody sees, hears, feels and thinks differently. No two people in the world have the same understanding of the same thing. It is impossible to give tests on a point of view. Because of this, tests are illogical. The only reason tests exist is to label(归类) students as "smart" or "stupid". There are many kinds of intelligence(智力，智能), however. One of the most famous researchers in the field of intelligence, Gardner, found at least seven different kinds of intelligence. Intelligence and understanding are related. Unfortunately, tests only measure one kind of intelligence.

In the modern world skills are more important than knowledge. If a person knows many facts, it is impressive, but not very useful. It is of much greater importance to be able to find information quickly, organize that information, analyze(分析) and understand the main ideas, put different pieces of information together, and create new information. Together these skills make what we call information management and innovation, the skills which are most desired(期望) in the business world.

Most people in the world believe that education is about remembering things to take tests which measure one's performance against other people who have studied the same information.

However, this idea no longer matches the reality of the modern world in which knowledge is less important than creativity and deep understanding. To be successful in the age of technology, education must focus on helping students gain information management and innovation skills.

1.The new kind of education in the modern world doesn't focus on ________.

A.creativity B.gaining information

C.deep understanding D.information management skills

2.According to the passage, which of the following is useless?

A.You do as what your teacher tells you in class.

B.You examine a text first carefully to understand what it means.

C.You organize your ideas so that people can understand and follow you.

D.You come up with a solution by asking the questions and understanding the problem.

3.What's the passage mainly about?

A.How people can live in the age of technology.

B.What knowledge tests measure in the age of technology.

C.How students develop themselves in the age of technology.

D.What education helps the students to gain in the age of technology.

We'll finally grow up someday, leaving our parents and facing the challenges(挑战) in life. Parents may not be able to solve every problem for us. Instead, we should have enough life skills deal with the problems we will meet in the future.

This is what our country tries to do now: Helping more students get working spirit. To stress the importance of hardworking spirit education among students of different ages, a guideline (指导方针) came out recently. The guideline asks students to respect work. Students should learn basic life skills and form good working habits through such education.

According to a study of nearly 3,000 students in March, only 22% primary and middle school students help with everyday housework. Schools and families play an important role in teaching students about the importance of working hard, the guideline says.

Primary and middle school should provide students with hardworking spirit classes every week, according to the guideline. Schools can also hold activities to give students real-world work experience. For example, schools can teach children how to plant trees on Tree-Planting Day.

As children's first teachers, parents should also encourage children to learn how to do housework at home, so students can develop one or two life skills every year.

1.Why do we need enough life kills?

A.To leave our parents someday. B.To help ourselves grow up faster.

C.To solve problems in the future. D.To know the importance of hardworking.

2.What does the underlined word "stress” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A.施压 B.强调 C.减轻 D.影响

3.From the text, what can we learn from planting trees?

A.Real-world work experience. B.Important life skills.

C.Good working habits. D.Teamwork with others.

4.In which part of a magazine can we read the text?
