37、me traditional subject-based lessons and replace them with “personal development” classes to encourage children to improve their social and practical skill. Parents, teachers and pupils, who took part in the investigation carried out for the biggest ever official review of the primary curriculum, ar

38、gued that the number of subjects taught to very young people should be reduced.The review, being conducted by the governments schools director Sir Jim Rose, will consider how to redesign the primary school day to handle concerns that too many pupils leave primary school unable to read, write and do

39、maths at the level expected of them. It will also address criticisms that pupils are expected to study so many subjects there is little time for creative learning.The focus groups brought together 1,500 parents, pupils and school staff and is expected to heavily influence the thinking of the Rose re

40、view, which the government is promising to back. Instead of a broad range of subjects, pupils should study in-depth literacy and maths lessons alongside a more creative curriculum that encourages pupils to develop personal, learning and thinking skills, they say. Such lessons might include “healthy

41、lifestyles, sex and relationships education, drugs and alcohol education”.“Child and personal development as priorities have been shamefully neglected in recent years in the rush to hit targets in the basics.” John Bangs, head of education at the National Union of Teachers, said, “The worst thing wo

42、uld be to evaluate child development through the current high stakes testing system. That would weaken the capacity of teachers to meet childrens unique needs.”However, the shadow schools minister, Nick Gibb, said, “If lessons on lifestyle are given the same status as traditional subjects, it is the

43、 most disadvantaged children who will be worst affected.” “Children are not able to personally develop and succeed in the future if they dont have a grasp of basic subjects such as maths and English early on in primary school. Removing high requirement from the primary curriculum would increase the

44、inequality gap between less well-off pupils and the rest.” Nick added. A spokeswoman for the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) said, “This is a summary of stake holders view, not the views of the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority or the DCSF, and has been submitted to Sir Ji

45、m Roses review as evidence to consider.”59. According to the focus groups, the result of learning too many subjects is most likely to be that _.A. children may not have any freedomB. children may not have enough time for personal interestC. children may not know anything outside the c

46、lassroomD. children may not have creative ability60. Which of the following is NOT TRUE about the review conducted by Sir Jim Rose?A. It will greatly influence the countrys future primary curriculum.B. It will remove high requirement from the primary curriculum.C. It is supported by the Qualifi

47、cations and Curriculum Authority or the DCSF.D. It needs to take fully into account varied views from the society.61. John Bangss attitude towards the current high stakes testing system is _.A. negative B. positive C. uncertain D. cautious62. According to Nick Gibb, grasp of basic subjects early on

48、in primary school is important for _.A. the primary curriculum reform         B. childrens development in the futureC. childrens educational equality       D. increasing the childrens confidenceC Creativity is generally chara

49、cterized by the ability to observe the world in new ways, to find hidden patterns, to make connections between seemingly unrelated phenomena, and to produce solutions. Creativity involves two processes: thinking, then producing. If you have ideas, but dont act on them, you are imaginative but n

50、ot creative.  Some people say creativity has nothing to do with innovationthat innovation is a discipline, implying that creativity is not. In fact, creativity is also a discipline, and a crucial part of the innovation equation. There is no innovation without creativity.  A study

51、 on creativity shows 8 in 10 people feel that unlocking creativity is critical to economic growth and nearly two-thirds of people feel creativity is valuable to society, yet a striking minority only 1 in 4 people believe they are living up to their own creative potential. Another study rev

52、eals that we are naturally creative and as we grow up we learn to be uncreative.  Creativity is a skill that can be developed and a process that can be managed. Creativity begins with a basis of knowledge, learning a discipline, and mastering a way of thinking. You learn to be creative by exper

53、imenting, exploring, questioning assumptions, using imagination and synthesing (綜合) information. Learning to be creative is similar to learning a sport. It requires practice to develop the right muscles. Beliefs that only special, talented people are creative weaken our confidence in our creative ab

54、ilities. The concept that geniuses (天才) such as Shakespeare, Picasso and Mozart were “gifted” is a myth (神話). Researchers examined outstanding performances in the arts, mathematics and sports, to find out if “the widespread belief that to reach high levels of ability a person must possess a born pot

55、ential called talent.” Few showed early signs of promise prior(優(yōu)先的) to parental encouragement. No one reached high levels of achievement in their field without devoting thousands of hours of serious training. Mozart trained for 16 years before he produced an acknowledged master work. Moreover many h

56、igh performers achieve levels of excellence today that match the abilities of a Mozart, or a Gold Medallist from the turn of the century.63. Real creative people must be good at _.  A. relating various things to each other  B. using their heads whenever possible C. looking at things from different angles D. putting what they think of into practice64. Why does the writer refer to learning a sport A. To claim
