Directions：Read the texts in which five people are commenting on a magazine article called “The Global Fish Crisis”. For question 36 to 40, match the name of each person (36 to 40) to one of the statements (A to G) given below. Mark your answers ANSWER SHEET.
Charles Swecker:
Thank you for getting it right in your articles on how to make a better student. As an educator, I' m sure I speak for others in saying parents who encourage learning at home ultimately have kids who perform at a higher level in class. School systems have been trying to get that message out for years. Imagine, excellent teachers working with students who have a drive and desire to learn. What a perfect world!
Sandy Simonson:
The students you pictured have positive attitudes; they expect to work hard on their own. Consequently, the effort they put in produces positive results. But my sons are different. They see their parents read. They were read to at home. We’ve encouraged and praised the genuine efforts they’ve made. But the bottom line for my sons is that until something fires them up from within, they are content to do as little work as possible.
Bridget Boyle:
Parents should do these things to make their child a better student: turn off the television. Fill every room with books. Play, read, travel, and then read some more with your kids. If reading be-comes the primary form of entertainment in the home, youngsters will turn to books. It was my pleasure to catch them reading on their own. Killing our television was the best thing we ever did.
Deborah Curtin:
Your report provided a glimpse into the life of young geniuses, but nobody made these kids better students. Each one can obviously grasp any task. Each could have been left in a box with a book and would have ended up self-taught. You did, however, confirm my belief that most teachers are only capable of communicating information to ready-made A students. Of course, there are a few good teachers, but they cannot overcome the defective system we have.
Alan Holman:
I don’t think that the success of students really depends on marks. I just finished writing my second average-length stage play, which is going to be produced at my high school. And I' m also playing a part in Hamlet. Despite all these really great things, my marks in school are really bad. I pay more attention to my hobbies than to school, and it’s actually getting mc somewhere. So marks aren't everything.
Now match the name of each person (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.
