Pushy parents and teachers who “hothouse” the under-5s risk causing damage to the children’s long term development, a leading education expert said.

Lilian Katz, Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, said that four-year-olds engaged in reading and writing went on to perform worse academically than those engaged in imaginative learning. They scored higher in tests at the age of 5, but children whose first year at school was stimulating outstripped them four years later.

The findings suggest that the government's structured approach to early years' learning could be storing up problems for children. They also raise serious questions about the plan for all children to be able to read by the age of 6.

In many countries formal teaching does not start until children are 6 or 7 and have improved their social and manual skills. Children start learning to read and write at 6 in the United States, France and Germany, and at 7 in Finland and Sweden.

Professor Katz said that in many schools the courses were "boring children to tears". Much academic teaching required children to learn by memorizing pieces of information out of context, she said. Teaching in reception class should instead allow children to develop their intellect by exploring their environments and asking questions.

"Research suggests the benefits of formal academic instruction for four- and five-year-olds seem to be promising when they are tested early, but considerably less so in the long term. When these children are followed over a period of three or more years, those who had early experience in more intellectually engaging curricula were more likely to do well in school than their peers, who had received early academic instruction." She advocates teaching children through first-hand experience and play, in mixed-aged classes. This can include puppet shows, drawing or running a pretend shop in the classroom.

1.According to the passage, those who “hothouse” the under-5s would probably _________.

A. prefer a lot of interaction and stimulation while teaching

B. teach in a lively way to motivate kids’ interest

C. push the kids to memorize pieces of information

2.What does the underlined word “ outstripped” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. did better than                      B. looked down upon

C. caught up with                       D. performed worse than

3.According to Lilian Katz, the government’s structured approach to early-years learning __.

A. is necessary for improving children’s reading and writing ability

B. needs to be improved to develop children’s academic ability

C. will cause problems to children in their future learning

4.The message the author wants to deliver through the passage is that formal teaching _____.

A. can start at different times in different countries.   B. should not be started too early

C. is best carried out in Finland and Sweden

高三英语单项填空困难题查看答案及解析

Children are often far more gifted than what their parents or teachers can realize.IQ tests do not measure creative talents.By depending on them to measure intelligence，therefore，we miss out on the talents of many of our most gifted youngsters.Most children start life with valuable creative potential.Unfortunately，many of them have it knocked out of them，so to speak，by the time they reach the 4th grade.It is not that parents and teachers deliberately squelch(限制) creativity；or rather，they fail to recognize it.By simply observing the child at work or at play，you may detect creativity，if you look for the following key signs：

*Curiosity.The child’s questioning is persistent and purposeful.He is not content with given explanations，and he would rather dig under the surface.

*Flexibility.If one approach doesn’t work，the child quickly thinks of another.

*Sensitivity to Problem.He is quick to see gaps in information.He is sensitive to contradictions between prior rules and what he hears or reads.

*Self­feeling.He has a feeling of being somebody in particular.He is self­motivated，self­directed，and can work alone for long periods provided it’s on his own project.

*Originality.He has surprising，uncommon，interesting ideas.His drawings and stories have a style that marks them as his own.

*Insight.He has easy access to realms(领域) of the mind that non­creative people visit only in their dreams.He toys with ideas that easily come to him.

Qualities like these count very little in IQ tests，which measure memory，vocabulary，mathematical ability and general reasoning.These abilities are valuable，and the creative child does usually have them.However，the child with a so­called genius IQ of 180 is in reality no more likely to be a genius than the child with a slightly above­average IQ of 120.In fact，evidence suggests that some children with high IQs may develop memory and logical reasoning powers at the expense of insight，imagination，and adventurous qualities that are essential to geniuses.

1.The main purpose of the passage is to tell us________.

A．why IQ tests are not accurate

B．to encourage creativity in children

C．no to squelch creativity in children

D．the difference between intelligence and talents

2.The author believes that IQ tests mainly measure ________.

A．creative potential　 　 B．talents

C．intelligence　 　　　　 　 D．general reasoning

3.The passage doesn’t clearly state but implies that ________.

A．the education nowadays does not provide much space for creativity

B．intelligence makes no contributions to creativity

C．signs of creativity in children are hard to detect

D．IQ tests are often used to measure children’s talents

4.Which of the following best illustrates a child’s originality?

A．He can tell whether a given explanation is convincing or not.

B．He can find different ways to solve a problem.

C．He can work on an interesting project with concentration.

D．He can draw a picture or tell a story in his own style.

5.According to the passage，children with high IQs ________.

A．may lack the qualities essential to geniuses

B．will probably turn into geniuses

C．are more likely to be geniuses than those with low IQs

D．also have qualities essential to geniuses
