30"The primary goal of technological advancement should be to increase people's efficiency so that everyone has more leisure time."
------------------------------
题目太绝对,科技发展只是提供了轻松的可能性,但终极目标应该更深远
首先,要应对emergency 问题。
对付SARS等疾病等
efficiency 不一定带来more leisure time。带来更多工作和欲望
其次不是everyone 都能利用好,还得看各人。有人从网络中快速获得知识,有人沉迷网络
8、"It is often necessary, even desirable, for political leaders to withhold information from the public."
------------------------------
基本同意,但是要在有监管的前提下
面对未确定的灾难,暂时不公布。避免恐慌
但是不能滥用,人民有知情权。
5、"A nation should require all its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college rather than allow schools in different parts of the nation to determine which academic courses to offer."
不赞同
我们需要在国家通过充分考虑的完善的总体纲领下进行多样化的教育
而不是用完全相同的课程
需要一个统一的课程纲领。因为我们要提供公平的受教育机会 the same national curriculum 能保证全国的students obtain the same opportunity of study. You can’t get less source of education because of you are coming from 贫困家庭。和一个公平的评判标准,为学生进入社会或者深造作出评价
但是同时我们也要注意不要限定得太死
学生的要求是多种多样的
国家规定的有限的课程是不够的。有的学生涉猎广泛一般的教学是无法满足的,有的学校提供超市式的课程设置,开架供学生选择。这使学生的思维免遭禁锢,能在较早的时候清楚自己的偏好。如果只是学课本上有限的知识,很难get the deeper understanding about the subject we want. Many students find they enter a major which he don’t like. The campus life is a suffer. Confucius says
因材施教
Different teacher good at different things, 没有统一课程安排的束缚,teacher can teach what they most good at. For instance, the Chinese teacher could be 深入研究过某certain 经典著作,如论语等。中国文化博大精深,半部论语治天下。自主安排课程可以最大化利用教师的能力。发扬地域文化
课程的单一化导致了评价标准的单一化,扼杀了许多人才。中国的艺术生
为了考取艺术院校必须离开学校
四处求师
投考。
回到学校还要跟其他同学一样学习数理化
这是非常困难的。许多学生通过了专业考试
却因为英语数学等个别科目徘徊在他们向往的艺术殿堂之外。如果他们能够在本校得到更深入专业的艺术指导
并将一些以后不要用的课程用艺术课程代替
能让人获得更多机会。
63"To truly understand your own culture—no matter how you define it—requires personal knowledge of at least one other culture, one that is distinctly different from your own."
94"Universities should require every student to take a variety of courses outside the student's field of study because acquiring knowledge of various academic disciplines is the best way to become truly educated."
