Teachers are often considered to be engineers of the human soul. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} But there's one person in China who is called the "teacher of teachers".
He is Chinese educator Tao Xingzhi. Last year marked the 130 anniversary of his birth. People in different parts of China memorize Tao by visiting his memorial halls or holding meetings to think back on his thoughts on education.
Born in Anhui province, China, 1891, Tao studied at Columbia University, the US, in 1914. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} .But when Tao returned to China in 1917 and began his own career as an educator, he did not blindly copy Dewey's education method or theories. For Tao, education is an active process in real- life experiences rather than one of telling and being told. He encouraged "unity of teaching, learning, and reflective acting".
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
After conducting surveys in Beijing, Tianjin and Shanghai in 1921, Tao was surprised to learn that the rate of urban illiteracy (文盲) in China went beyond 70 percent. {#blank#}4{#/blank#}.To deal with the lack of teachers and money, in 1927, Tao set up Xiaozhuang Normal college (晓庄师范学院) in the northern suburbs of Nanjing to train teachers and educators ,most of whom became teachers at rural schools.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#}He set up Yucai Middle School in the suburbs of Chongqing and offered free education to refugee (避难) children after the Japanese invasion of China began in 1937.
Maybe Tao's moto is the best explanation for his life, "Giving a whole heart, yet taking nothing in return, not even a leaf of grass."
What topic do more than 13 million American kids like? Soccer! The Soccer Industry Council of America reported in 1999 that all those kids were playing organized soccer. Add adults into the number, and you come up with more than 18 million Americans playing soccer. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
First, I think there's the international interest. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} The excitement must be catching.
Another reason is that soccer takes less equipment (设备) than some other spoils. So it's not very costly for a kid to join a soccer team.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Though accidents may happen, body touching usually isn't part of the game. Therefore, fewer injuries are caused.
Soccer attracts both boys and girls. Though soccer was at first only a male sport ( just like all other sports), soccer has caught on with girls. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} Interest in the sport extends to whole families, so there are more players, more fans, more coaches, and so on.
Finally, I think there is the running factor. {#blank#}5{#/blank#} Kids love it, and few parents can say no to it.
A. This is good for the sport. B. What makes soccer so popular? C. Moreover, parents consider soccer as a safer sport than some other sports. D. Running up and down a field chasing a ball is such a healthy thing to do. E. Americans see that people in many other countries are so excited about soccer. |
