Passage 3:
Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected at the same time: if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the difference between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people. In the same way the children learn to do all the other thing s. They learn to do without being taught – to – talk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle – compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the necessary changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistake himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out for him or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he became dependent on teachers. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with the help of other children if he wants it. What this word says, what the answer is to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.
If it is the matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help children when he tells us that he can’t find the way to get the right answer. Let’s end all this nonsense of grades exams, marks. Let us throw them all out, and let children learn what all educated people must someday learn, how to measure their own understanding, how to know what they know or do not know.
Let them get on this job in the same way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school and used for the rest of one’s life is nonsense in a word as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teacher say, “but suppose they fail to learn something essential, something they will need to get on in the world?” don’t worry, if it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.

Passage 4:
Bulbs are ideal for new gardeners, including children, because they are easy to plant and they always flower well in their first season. They need comparatively little attention, provided that the soil has been properly prepared, and the place where they are planted is chosen with care. They will last for many years and give you an annual show of flowers that are often so richly colored or beautifully formed as to be in a class apart from other garden flowers.
However, it is a mistake to buy bulbs without any plan of what effect you really want from them. I have written this book to help in selecting the most suitable bulbs for the typical, small, modern garden of non-specialist gardeners, and have made some suggestions to help readers who may not have had a garden before.
Too many books for beginners tell new gardeners how to grow a few ‘sensible’ kinds of plants and leave the more interesting kinds to adventurous experts. For the first few years of gardening life, one should, it seems, concentrate on learning simple techniques while admiring the gardens of more experienced neighbors.
In fact, as a learner-gardener you need not fear that your efforts will necessarily show your inexperience, because (and here I give away a most closely-guarded secret), provided the bulbs come from a really reliable source, it is possible to produce as good results in your first year of gardening as in your eightieth. There are some difficult bulbs that will disappoint you, notably some lilies and a few miniature daffodils, but there are often no more attractive that the really easy ones. Therefore, be bold with bulbs; they are a sound investment for any garden.
Never be content to plant the bulbs by themselves. The majority looks best when planted among other kinds of plants, because they have unattractive leaves, which are thus hidden. There are a few bulbs, such as standard daffodils, which are, however, at their best grown in short grass.
1. Why should new gardeners try growing bulbs?
A. They are cheap, so a great many can be grown
B. Once planted, little after-care is needed
C. They will grow anywhere in the garden
D. their flowers get better and better each year.
2. What is this book on gardening about?
A. Planting an easily maintained garden.
B. Up-to-date information on new bulbs
C. General advice for beginner gardeners
D. The choice of bulbs for small gardeners
3. Inexperienced gardeners are often told what they should
A. experiment with different plants
B. ask their experienced neighbors for advice
C. learn by visiting other gardens
D. plant a few types of plants
4. Bulbs are described as an investment because ..
A. they go on flowering all summer
B. they flower year after year
C. the beginner can learn from them
D. they make other plant look good
