阅读理解Of all the areas of learning the most important is the development of attitudes. Emotional reactions as well as logical thought processes affect the behavior of most people. “The burnt child fears the fire” is one instance; another is the rise of figures like Hitler. Both these examples point up the fact that attitudes e from experience. In the one case the experience was direct and impressive; in the other it was indirect and gradual. The classroom teacher in the elementary school is in strategic position to influence attitudes. This is true partly because children acquire attitudes from those adults whose word they respect. Another reason it is true is that pupils often search somewhat deeply into a subject in school that has only been touched upon at home or has possibly never occurred to them before. To a child who has previously acquire little knowledge of Mexico, his teacher’s method of handling such a unit would greatly affect his attitude toward Mexicans. The teacher can develop proper attitudes through social studies, science matters, the very atmosphere of the classroom, etc. However, when children e to school with undesirable attitudes, it is unwise to attempt to change their feelings by criticizing them. The teacher can achieve the proper effect by helping them obtain constructive experience. To illustrate, first-grade pupils, afraid of policemen will probably change their attitudes after a classroom talk with the neighborhood officer in which he explains how he protects them. In the same way, a class of older children can develop attitudes through discussion, research, outside reading and all-day trips. Finally, a teacher must constantly evaluate her own attitudes, because her influence can be harmful she has personal prejudices. This is especially true in respect to controversial issues and questions of which children should be encouraged to reach their own decisions as result of objective analysis of all the facts.1.The author uses the phrase “the burnt child fears the fire” in order to __________.A.stress the importance of keeping child from the fireB.exemplify（例证） the opinion that attitudes e from experienceC.illustrate the important role of attitudes towards study in the early childhoodD.none of the above2.According to the author, teachers may have great influence on children’s attitudes because___________.A.they can use marks to judge studentsB.they can control students’ behaviorC.they may judge a student from their own likes and dislikesD.their words are usually respected by the children3.Through which of the following factor a teacher CANNOT develop proper attitudes of students?A.Social studiesB.Science mattersC.The very atmosphere of the classroomD.Criticism of children’s behavior4.In the author’s opinion, a teacher must constantly evaluate her own attitudes because_______.A.her personal attitudes may affect her students if she is prejudicedB.she need to improve herself tooC.she is also often influenced by her studentsD.she may not have a constant attitude towards some controversial sues（控诉）5.The main readers of this passage may be ___________.A.psychologists conducting plicated experimentsB.parents who have children in schoolC.school teachersD.students in primary school
