Test E写作 Mary taught art to young kids at a primary school.That day,she was leading them through a landscape drawing activity.Akila yawned, clearly disinterested-drawing wasn't her thing. A little crowd had gathered around Tina,laughing 梦想成真】 Eric English at her odd picture:a sun with sunglasses,and trees with ice cream scoops on top. Mary corrected Tina,her voice strict but with a touch of worry,"Do it the way I taught you."As the lesson went on,doubt started eating at Mary.Had the joy of creativity been overshadowed by the pressure to fit in?She glanced around the room,studying the kids' faces-some were focused,others looked lost. Akila's boredom was obvious,and instead of praise,Tina's wild imagination had been laughed at. When class ended,Mary sat next to Tina and lowered her voice."What made you draw the sun wearing shades and ice creams on the trees?"she asked softly. Tina's eyes flashed with a little bit of defiance."I love ice cream,and I thought sunglasses would make the sun look awesome. Why do we always have to copy everyone else's drawings?” Mary went quiet,her mind racing.Tina's pictures weren't just strange-they were a peek into a world where creativity ruled and rules could be twisted into beautiful craziness.Was she,by forcing a rigid way of drawing,stamping out that very creativity? The next morning,Mary walked into the classroom feeling completely different.She laid a giant piece of paper in front of the class and announced a brand new project:together,they would create a piece called“Our Dream World” and there were no rules at all.They could use any colors,shapes,and designs they wanted. At first,the kids held back,not sure what to do with all that freedom.Akila leaned back in her chair,doubting it was just another pointless activity.But Tina-whose creativity was finally unleashed-grabbed her crayons excitedly and started drawing with total freedom.Then Maya joined in.And then Michael... 注意：1.所续写短文的词数应为150左右； Erie English 【专项必备1 高 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 As the students worked,Mary observed them with curiosity. Group 9 /Test A阅读理解 When I attended Open House at my son's school,I scanned the noticeboard outside his first-grade classroom.I spied Cody's handiwork in a colorful sea of papers.My expectant smile froze.In one circle where he was supposed to write or draw what he didn't like was "MEN".I felt scared and confused. “Cody,”I said casually.“Can you tell me about your work here?” “Yeah,”he replied,then carefully recited each word slowly.“L..don't..like..mean.” Such is the world of phonics(自然拼读 法)，writing words the way they sound.. That exercise served to enhance how our kids perceived the world,divided into two classes:good and bad.It didn't matter to them what the person looked like.You were either good or you were bad. Cody mentioned the boy on the bus who hit Cody in the stomach..."He's mean,Mom!" cried Cody..“He's a bad boy!” “He's not a bad boy,”I replied,drying his tears."What he DID was bad.There's a difference." That's what the parenting magazines tell us to say.And it makes sense,this mass campaign of programming us to think in terms of“people coming first.” 62 英语语言知识与外刊阅读 艾瑞克英语 BEST Eric English Mary stood back and reflected seriously. 卓尔英语 美文欣赏实战经典-… But I doubted Cody understood my logic. Until one warm Saturday morning.Cody and I attended a birthday party for his classmate, Kristi.During the party,Kristi was very nice to Cody.She asked him to sit next to her,ordered the same drink as him,and opened his gift first. While everyone was eating cake,Kristi leaned over to me and said,"Mrs.Oliver,Cody is always so nice to me every single day at school.He's the only one who's never,ever mean to me. I held back tears.Not just because a little girl was sweet enough to acknowledge Cody's sensitivity to his mother.But for knowing how cruel kids could be,especially to skinny- challenged girls like Kristi. My heart ached from the sudden wave of pride that ran through it.All I could think of was,wow,he got it.Cody got it.People first. 1.What influences a child's perception of the world according to the author?
