二. Close test
Time spent in a bookshop can be enjoyable. If you go to a 1 shop, no assistant (營業員) will come near to you and say, “Can I help you?” You 2 buy anything you don’t want. You may try to find out 3 the book you want is . But if you fail, the assistant will lead (引導) you there and then he will go away. It seems that he is 4 selling any books at all.
There is a story which tells us about a good shop. A medical (醫學的) student 5 a very useful book in the shop, 6 it was too expensive for him to buy. He couldn’t get it from the library, either. So every afternoon, he went there to read 7 at a time. One day, however (然而), he couldn’t find 8 from its usual place and was leaving when he saw an assistant signing (示意) to him. To his surprise, the assistant pointed to the book 9 , “I put it there so as not to be sold out.” Said the assistant. Then he 10 the student to go on with his reading.

三.Reading comprehension
Let children learn to judge (判斷) their own work. When children learn to speak, other people do not correct (糾正) their mistakes all the time. If we correct too much, they will stop speaking. Let themselves understand the difference between the language they speak and the language other people around them speak. Day after day, they will make some changes to make their language like other people's language. In the same way, children can learn to do many other things without others' help. For example, to walk, run, climb, and ride a bike-make themselves understand how they should do it. Slowly they can make some changes they need.
But in school we never let a child himself find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We usually think he never knows his mistakes if we do not tell him or he never corrects them if we do not make him do it. We should try to let him find out the answers to the problems, and the good ways of working them out with the help of other children if he wants.
Can teachers give the students answer books if they do maths problems? Let them correct their homework all by themselves. When the students tell their teachers that they can't find the ways to get the right answers, the teachers should help them. Let the students know what they must learn, how to judge their own understanding (理解力), how to know what they know or what they do not know. These are the most important.

三． (1)選C。這篇文章告訴我們孩子應通過何種方式學習事物。從第一段內容：讓孩子學會判斷他們自己的學習或工作。當孩子學說話時，其他人不要總是糾正他們的錯誤。如果糾正太多，孩子就不會再愿意說話了。從以上內容可得出應通過犯錯和糾錯的方式學習事物。
(2)選C。哪句話是正確的①老師從不給學生答案；②老師從不讓學生犯錯誤；③當學生犯錯誤時老師不要總是糾正學生的錯誤；④老師只給學生答案當他們有問題的時候。前面兩個較容易看出是錯誤的，這兩種說法太絕對；從最后一段可得出第④種說法也是錯誤的。老師應幫助學生；讓學生知道什么是必須學的，怎樣判斷自己的理解力，怎樣去理解他們所知道或是不知道的東西，而不應是單純地給答案。從第一段里可得出第③種說法是正確的。
(3)選A。作者認為學校的老師應當讓學生互相幫助。B 教給學生較少的好方法，錯誤。文章提倡教給學生好的方法。C 糾正他們作業中的更多錯誤，這種說法也不對，第三段中“Let them correct their homework all by themselves” 作者認為：讓他們完全自己糾正他們的家庭作業而不應當是老師。D 教給學生更多的書本知識，文章提倡的是教給學生好的方法，此選項錯誤。
(4)選D。這篇文章指出學說話就像是學其它事情一樣，從第一段內容可判斷出來。
