Lesson 2 The Objectives of Education
Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练

[皖豫名校联盟2023高二联考] Australian data indicate that less than a quarter of children aged 5—14 achieve the recommended 60 minutes of physical activity every day and spend just over two hours each day sitting or lying down for screen-based activities. There is widespread concern that children are not spending enough time in nature and, as a result, that they may be missing out on the potential benefits that nature has to offer for social skills, learning, physical health, and well-being.
For teachers in the know, nature-based play and learning is wonderful. For example, cooking on an outdoor fire can include a range of curriculum (课程) skills—maths and measurement of food materials, important fire and safety skills, reading and writing, and comprehending skills from the recipe, as well as imagination in finding the best sticks to use as skewers. Simple activities can equally deliver benefits: Using sticks to show how fractions (分数) are part of a whole can explain problem-solving in a hands-on way and help children better grasp more complex maths concepts.
刷阅读理解
An Australian study found that while all teachers believed that nature-based play and learning can deliver huge benefits to children, seven out of ten teachers felt that their knowledge and confidence were limiting their ability to make full use of these opportunities at school. Difficulties in using nature-based play and learning for teachers include: limited knowledge and confidence in how to add it to learning or how to operate the class outside (78%); a crowded curriculum limiting their ability to adopt new learning (54%); a lack of understanding/support from others in the school (38%).
Reducing these difficulties must be a focus to ensure children are able to judge nature-based play and learning opportunities at school. We must find ways to support teachers in upskilling and feeling confident in delivering learning opportunities in nature. Training, education, and support at the school level are important for teachers to take the next step, but so are system-level approaches to considering how nature-based learning can be formally included into the curriculum.

[河南郑州2024高二联考] When my students ask me how to improve themselves, I always recommend personality imitation (模仿). I believe imitation is one of the fastest forms of learning.
For example, before writing my first scientific paper, I made a small pile of published articles that were especially attractive and understandable. Then I reread them. And I made notes on the side: a quote at the beginning, a short sentence at the end of a paragraph, a big idea up front. And then, without delay, I sat down to imitate what I’d observed.
It may seem that copying what other people do is cheating. Many of my students assume that they had better figure everything out on their own. But it turns out that a great deal of human learning is imitation. We are all born to copy-paste (复制粘贴).
刷阅读理解
A few years ago, I had a conversation with Toby Cosgrove, the former chief executive of Cleveland Clinic. I asked him how someone who at the beginning of his career was told he lacked talent later became the most famous cardiothoracic surgeon in the world. This was his response:
“I worked and worked and worked at first. And then I changed the way I did things over time. I went and watched other people do things. In fact, I used to call them my ‘innovation trips’. I would go all over the world, and take my notebook and watch other surgeons and various techniques, and I would pick up things from them and put them into my practice. It was a constant quest and I was always looking for ways to do something better.”
These stories are supported by science. Some experiments confirm that copy-pasting the successful strategies of others can help you reach your own goals. Therefore, don’t think that copy-pasting what you admire is by definition cheating. Without question, it’s wrong to take someone else’s work and pass it off as your own. But it’s right to find inspiration in the way other people live their lives.
