There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have ever taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportantas a basic skill. There are,however,different ideas about how to teach it,or how much priority(优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is,how to encourage a child to express himlf freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities(复杂性) of spelling.
建善寺If spelling becomes the only focal(焦点的) point of his teacher's interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to "play safe". He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That's why teachers often encouragethe early u of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.
I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a nsitive piece of writing about
a personal experience."This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and yourwriting is terrible." It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil's technical abilities inwriting, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay,which contained some beautiful expre
ssions of the child's deep feelings. The teacher wasnot wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child's ideas,an expression of his disappointment with the prentation would have given the pupilmore motivation to ek improvement.

Happy birthday! Do birthdays really make people happy? Of cour they do. Birthdays celebrate the days we were born. Besides, that extra candle on the cake suggests another year of growth and maturity(成熟)---or so we hope. We all like to imagine that we’re getting wir and not just older. Most of us enjoy eing the miracle(奇迹)of growth in others, as well. For instance, eing our childr
en develop and learn new things makes us feel proud. For Americans, like people in most cultures, growing up is a wonderful process. But growing old? That’s a different story.
Growing old is not exactly pleasant for people in youth-oriented(以年轻人为中心)American culture. Most Americans like to look young, act young and feel young. As the old saying goes, “You’re as young as you feel.” Older people joke about how many years young they are, rather than how many years old. People in some countries value the aged as a source of experience and wisdom. But American em to favor tho that are young, or at least “young at heart”.
mid
Many older Americans find the“golden years”to be anything but golden. Economically, “nior citizens” often struggle just to get by. Retirement at age 65 brings a sharp decrea in personal income. Social curity benefits usually cannot make up the difference. Older people may suffer from poor nutrition, medical care and housing. Some even experience age discrimination. In 1987, American sociologist Pat Moore dresd up like an older person and wandered and robbed. However, dresd as a young person, she received much more respect.
Unfortunately, the elderly population in America, is increasing fast. Why? People are living longer. Fewer babies are being born. And middle-aged “baby boomers”are rapidly entering the groups of the
elderly. America may soon be a place where wrinkles(皱纹)are “in”. Marketing experts are already noticing this growing group of consumers.
72. Growing up is a wonderful thing becau______.
A. people can celebrate their birthdays
B. people can become more mature and wir
C. people can receive many prents
D. people will feel younger at heart
73. We can infer from the cond paragraph that______.
A. young people lack experience and wisdom
