22、 is honest, realistic and easy to deal with. Its a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to and accepts other people as equals. A down-to-earth person is just the opposite of someone who acts importantly and proudly. Down-to-earth person may be
23、important members of society, of course. But they do not let their importance “go to their heads”. They do not consider themselves to be better persons than others of less importance. Someone who is filled with his own importance and pride, often without cause, is said to “have his nose in the air”.
24、 There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth. Americans use another expression that means almost the same as “down-to-earth”. Its “both-feet-on-the-ground”. Someone with “both-feet-on-the-ground” is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called “comm
25、on sense”. He may have dreams, but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his “head-in-the-clouds”. A man with his “head-in-the-clouds” is a dreamer whose mind is not in the real world. Sometimes, such a dreamer can be brought back t
26、o earth. Sharp words from a teacher can usually bring a day-dreaming student down-to-earth. Usually, the down-to-earth person is very likely to have their “both-feet-on-the-ground”. When we have our both-feet-on-the-ground, when we are down-to-earth, we act honestly and openly towards others. Our li
27、ves are like the ground below us, solid and strong.51. “But they dont let their importance go to their heads” means that _. A. they are important but they do not want to be important. B. they do not show out that they are much better than others. C. they think others are less important but they do n
28、ot look down upon them. D. they have a calm mind and are not proud of their importance.52. After reading the passage, what do you think a person with “both-feet-on-the-ground” is like? A. He is a person who is honest, modest, realistic and easy to go with. B. He is a person who is kind to others and
29、 never looks down upon them. C. He is a person who thinks they themselves less important than others. D. He is a person who never thinks they themselves are a lot better than others.53. “Common sense” here means _. A. real sense without dreaming B. the sense of correct understanding and judging C. n
30、ot special senses, but common D. the senses of ordinary people54. If you want to be a person who is down-to-earth, youd better _. A. listen to your teachers sharp words often B. act importantly and proudly C. act honestly and openly towards others D. do more important things BLet children learn to j
31、udge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes t
32、o make his language like other peoples. In the same way, children learning to do all the other things: they learn to do without being taught to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle, compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in scho
33、ol we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he w
34、ants it, what this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.If it is a matter of right answer, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such r
35、outine(常规) work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he cant find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their own understanding, and how to know what they know or do not know.55. According to the pa
36、ssage, the best way for children to learn things is by _.A. listening to skilled peoples advice B. asking older people many questionsC. making mistakes and having them corrected D. doing what other people do56.
