Let us suppose(假设) it is now about A.D.2060. Of course, things have changed and life is very different. People go to the moon every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. What are people eating now? People are still eating food. But many foods now come in pill(弹丸) form. Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. People are now largely vegetarians(素食者), and we are healthier in both our bodies and our minds, too, and we don’t have any diseases(疾病). No one has to be ill any more. Such would be our life in 2060.Life in 2060 is the same as the life now.
In 2060, it will be very easy for people to go to the moon.
People will not eat any food in 2060.
No one will work on the farm in 2060.
Nobody will be ill in 2060.
Ted, my little brother, is in Grade One. Last Friday he came back from school with a letter. The letter was from his teacher. “I got a red flower today. Could you please sign this note?” he said to mum. The note showed that he had been talking in class.
Ted hardly gets top scores in his school work. The best he gets is “OK”, but he often gets “You can do better than this.” Mum knows what it means. She tells me “You can do better than this” means “Extremely bad” in China.]
In the USA, teachers never say anything too bad about their students, even if the students are making trouble in class or not working hard enough. The worst they might say is “Please be nicer tomorrow”. Many parents are satisfied with a B-grade for each subject.
But things in Chinese schools are quite different. Parents have high expectations for their children. I sometimes felt that my second-grade cousin spend more time on homework than I did when I was 6th grade in the US! Yet his parents and teachers didn’t think he worked hard enough.
Is it too strict in China? Or is it not strict enough in the USA? Maybe both are true.Why did Ted come home with a letter last Friday?
A.Because the teacher wanted to visit his mother. |
B.Because he did something wrong. |
C.Because the teacher was happy with his progress. |
D.Because the teacher thought he was too lazy. |
If a student in the USA gets “OK” in his schoolwork, it means ________.
A.he gets top scores |
B.he gets medium scores |
C.he gets extremely bad scores |
D.he gets the worst scores |
American parents will be ________ when their children get a B-grade in their school.
A.excited | B.sad |
C.angry | D.happy |
The underlined words “high expectations” in this passage means “________”.
