Tony Wheeler was born to travel. His father worked for an airline. For the first 16 years of his life，Wheeler and his family lived in many different countries. In the early 1970s, Tony met a young woman named Maureen. They soon married. Before getting jobs, Tony and Maureen wanted to travel. They took a year-long trip from England, through Asia, to Australia. On the trip, they visited places like Iran( 伊朗), India, and so on.
When Tony and Maureen arrived in Australia, people asked many questions about their trip. To answer these questions, Wheeler wrote a book called Across Asia on the Cheap.

Most students have biology classes in the classrooms or the labs in China. But several days ago, I had a biology class outside in my American school.
第 3 页 共 33 页
My biology teacher, Mr.Kwak, divided us into three groups and asked us to play a game about natural selection(选择)and how birds find food.
He gave the first group one spoon per person, the second group forks and my group knives.I thought we were going hunting, so knives might work better. Surprisingly, he told us to pick up the beans on the grass with our tools.
When the game started, all of us ran to the grass area.We squatted(蹲)down and looked for beans. It was hard to pick up something that small, especially from the grass.
When I almost lifted a bean, it dropped back to the ground.When I finally picked up several beans, one of my friends ran into me.I couldn't keep my balance and fell over. All my beans dropped to the ground! Just at that moment, Mr.Kwak called us back. I had to leave the game and of course I got a bad result. I couldn't help thinking that if I were a bird living on Galapagos Island, I would be dead soon.
The fun game made me realize that natural selection is really competitive(竞争的)．Everyone is trying his or her best to survive． 1．What did the writer's group use to pick up the beans?
A．Spoons. B．Forks. C．Knives. D．Hands. 2．How many beans did the writer get at last?

A．Find food. B．Remain alive. C．Be lovely. D．Keep balanced. 5．What was the aim of Mr.Kwak's class?

A．To play an interesting game. B．To pick up the beans.

阅读理解（四）
Let children learn to judge(判断) their own work. A child doesn't learn to talk by being corrected all the time. If he is corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the differences between the language he uses and the language others use. Little by little, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people's.
In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught — to walk, run, climb or ride a bicycle. They compare their performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes and correct them himself. We do it all for him. We thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him work out with the help of other children if he wants it.
If it is a matter in math or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such daily work? Our job should be to help the children when they tell us that he can't find the way to get the right answer. Let the children learn what all educated persons must learn, how to measure(估量) their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.
Let them get on with this job in their ways. School teachers can offer help if they ask for it. Some parents and teachers are worried that the children might fail to learn something that they will need to get in the world. Don't worry! If it is important, they will go out into the world and learn it.
1．According to the passage, the best way for children to learn things is by ________.
A．being always corrected B．following adults' advice
