根据下列材料,回答问题:
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.Con-sequently,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 bc 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.
Note:there are two extra statements.
Statements
A.Grades cannot fully reflect the whole picture of a student.
B.Try your best to make your children habitual readers.
C.Tolerant parents are sure to shape successful children.
D.Parents'encouragement helps to improve children's performance at school.
E.Schooling is very different from educating.
F.Good students are actually not made but born.
G.Students cannot become better at school unless theyare self-driven.

参考答案:F
参考解析:主旨题。Deborah Curtin认为“…the life of young genius,but nobody made these kids better student”可知文章当中的小天才们都很优秀,但是他们不是被任何人培养出来的天才,而是天生就有学习的动力,因此他们是天生的学习者,故选F。
5、Alan Holman
参考答案:A

参考译文:
Charles Swecker:
感谢你在文章当中提到了正确的培养更好的学生的方法。作为一名教育工作者,我肯定可以代表其他人这样说:在家被父母鼓励学习的孩子在班里的表现会更好。学校一直都在努力让大家明白这一点。想象一下,优秀的老师加上有学习动力和学习渴望的学生。这是一个多完美的世界!
Sandy Simonson:
你所描述的学生有积极的态度;他们愿意靠自己努力学习。因此他们付出的努力会有良好的成效。但是我的儿子却难以做到这点。他们看父母读书,听父母读书。我们鼓励并且赞扬他们付出的真实努力。但是最关键的是,我儿子会满足于尽可能地少去努力,直到有什么引发了他们的热情,带给他们动力。
Bridget Boyle:
父母应该这样做,以便让孩子成为更好的学生:关掉电视;在房间里摆满书。玩耍,阅读,旅行然后再和孩子一起多读书。如果阅读成为他们在家最主要的娱乐方式,孩子们会爱上书。看到他们自己在看书,我感到开心。关掉电视是我们做过最好的一件事。
Deborah Curtin:
你的报告让我们对小天才们的生活有所了解,但是没有人把这些孩子变成优秀学生。很明显,他们任何一个人都可以完成任何任务;每一个人都可以单独和一箱子书呆在一起然后自学。不过,你确实让我更加相信我的理念:大部分的老师只能向天生的尖子生传达信息。当然了,也有一些优秀的老师,不过他们也无法克服我们体制的缺陷。
Alan Holman:
我不认为学生的成功取决于分数。我刚刚完成我第二部长度适中的舞台剧剧本,并且将会在我的高中演出。我也在《哈姆雷特》当中扮演一个角色。除了这些很棒的成绩,我的考试分数真的很差。我把更多的注意力放在兴趣上而不是学校,通过这样做,我其实已经在取得一定的成功。所以,分数不代表一切。
