He probably got as much pleasure out of the sounds the key made as he did those few times when the key actually found its way into the slot.D R _ Text 2 The key to our room was attached to a large plastic block with the room number on it.

His exploratory behavior seemed harmless enough. But I soon observed an interesting phenomenon. AnyChinese staff
38、member nearby would come over to watch Benjamin and, noting his lack of initial success, attempt to assist. He or she would hold onto Benjamins hand and, gently but firmly, guide it directly toward the slot, reposition it as necessary, and help him to insert it. The “teacher” would then smile somewhat expectantly at Ellen or me, as if awaiting a thank you and on occasion would frown slightly, as if considering us to be neglecting our parental duties.Unit 1 Ways of LearningUnit 1 Ways of Learning
39、Supplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingBefore Reading I soon realized that this incident was directly relevant to our assigned tasks in China: to investigate the ways of early childhood education (especially in the arts), and to throw light on Chinese attitudes toward creativity. And so before long I began to introduce the key-slot anecdote into my discussions with Chinese educators. TWO DIFFERENT WAYS TO LEARN With a few exceptions my Chinese colleagues displayed the sa
40、me attitude as the staff at the Jinling Hotel. Since adults know how to place the key in the key slot, which is the ultimate purpose of approaching the slot, and since the child is neither old enough nor clever enough to realize the desired action on his own, what possible gain is achieved by having him struggle?

41、ot a desirable outcome. Why not show him what to do? He will be happy, he will learn how to accomplish the task sooner, and then he can proceed to more complex activities, like opening the door or asking for the key both of which accomplishments can (and should) in due course be modeled for him as well. We listened to such explanations sympathetically and explained that, first of all, we did not much care whether Benjamin succeeded in inserting the key into the slot. He was having a good time an
42、d was exploring, two activities that did matter to us. But the critical point was that, in the process, we were trying to teach Benjamin that one can solve a problem effectively by oneself. D R _ Text 5Unit 1 Ways of LearningUnit 1 Ways of LearningSupplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingBefore ReadingD R _ Text 6 Such self-reliance is a principal value of child rearing in middle-class America. So long as the child is shown exactly how to do something whether it be placing
43、 a key in a key slot, drawing a hen or making up for a misdeed he is less likely to figure out himself how to accomplish such a task. And, more generally, he is less likely to view life as Americans do as a series of situations in which one has to learn to think for oneself, to solve problems on ones own and even to discover new problems for which creative solutions are wanted.Unit 1 Ways of LearningUnit 1 Ways of LearningSupplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingBefore Rea
44、ding TEACHING BY HOLDING HIS HAND In retrospect, it became clear to me that this incident was indeed key and key in more than one sense. It pointed to important differences in the educational and artistic practices in our two countries. When our well-intentioned Chinese observers came to Benjamins rescue, they did not simply push his hand down clumsily or uncertainly, as I might have done. Instead, they guided him with extreme facility and gentleness in precisely the desired direction. I came to
45、 realize that these Chinese were not just molding and shaping Benjamins performance in any old manner: In the best Chinese tradition, they were ba zhe shou jiao “teaching by holding his hand” so much so that he would happily come back for more.D R _ Text 7Unit 1 Ways of LearningUnit 1 Ways of LearningSupplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingBefore ReadingD R _ Text 8 The idea that learning should take place by continual careful shaping and molding applies equally to the ar

47、lementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingBefore Reading CREATIVITY FIRST? In terms of attitudes to creativity there seems to be a reversal of priorities: young Westerners making their boldest departures first and then gradually mastering the tradition; and young Chinese being almost inseparable from the tradition, but, over time, possibly evolving to a point equally original. One way of summarizing the American position is to state that we value originality and independence mo
48、re than the Chinese do. The contrast between our two cultures can also be seen in terms of the fears we both harbor. Chinese teachers are fearful that if skills are not acquired early, they may never be acquired; there is, on the other hand, no comparable hurry to promote creativity. D R _ Text 9Unit 1 Ways of LearningUnit 1 Ways of LearningSupplementary ReadingAfter ReadingDetailed ReadingGlobal ReadingBefore Reading American educators fear that unless creativity has been acquired early, it may
49、 never emerge; on the other hand, skills can be picked up later. However, I do not want to overstate my case. There is enormous creativity to be found in Chinese scientific, technological and artistic innovations past and present. And there is a danger of exaggerating creative breakthroughs in the West.

I set up an account for each child, using the same computer program I use to keep track of my checkbook.

His store also stayed open later than most other stores, especially during

978、 Crisis 1Midlife Crisis A new study shows that unhappiness in middle age, also known as midlife crisis, is a universal experience. Two economists did the study: Andrew Oswald of the University of Warwick in England and David Blanchflower at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire. They used information collected earlier on two million people from eighty nations. They found that people around the world seem to share an emotional design in life. That design, they say, is shaped like the letter U. Level

980、erally speaking, people reach their lowest levels between the ages of about forty and fifty-five. But then, as they continue into old age, their happiness starts to climb back up. What the research does not show is why all this happens. Professor Oswald says one possibility is that people recognize their limitations in middle age and give up on some long-held dreams. Or perhaps people who are happier live longer, and this is responsible for a growing percentage of happy older people. Or, he says
