Almost every child, on the first day he sets foot in a school building, is smarter,
more curious, less afraid of what he doesn’t know, better at finding and 27 , more
confident, resourceful (机敏的), persistent and 28 than he will ever be again in
his schooling – or, unless he is very unusual and very lucky, for the rest of his life.
Already, by paying close attention to and 29 the world and people around him, and
without any school-type formal instruction, he has done a task far more difficult,
complicated and 30 than anything he will be asked to do in school, or than any of his
teachers has done for years. He has solved the 31 of language. He has discovered it
– babies don’t even know that language exists – and he has found out how it works and
learned to use it 32 . He has done it by exploring, by experimenting, by developing
his own model of the grammar of language, by 33 and seeing whether it works, by
gradually changing it and 34 it until it does work. And while he has been doing this,
he has been learning other things as well, including many of the “ 35 ” that the
schools think only they can teach him, and many that are more complicated than the ones
they do try to teach him.
W: No, I didn't see anything in the news about it. What happened?
M: A foreign airliner was attempting to land at night in a mountainous area of Argentina and flew into a hill!
W: That sounds really terrible! Did anyone survive?
M: No, everyone aboard, including the crew, was killed instantly.
W: What were the circumstances? Was there had weather, a fire, or engine failure?
M: Apparently, there was some low clouds in the area, but mostly it was just miscommunication between the pilots and the air traffic controllers.
W: Weren't they both speaking in English, the official international aviation language?
M: Yes they were, but the transmission from poor quality radios was slightly distorted and the accents of the Spanish speaking controllers was so strong that the pilots misunderstood a vital instruction.
W: How could a misunderstanding like that cause such a serious accident?
M: The pilots were told "descend to 2 -2,000 feet". The instruction actually meant 22,000 feet, but they thought they heard descend to 2,000 feet. That's a huge difference, and it should have been confirmed, but it was not. Unfortunately, the terrain of the mountains in that region extends up to 20,000 feet.
W: So the pilots did descend to the wrong altitude then, thinking they were following the air controllers instructions.
M: Sadly enough, yes they did. It was a very bad mistake. Many people died as a result of this simple understanding.
W: Wow, that's a powerful lesson in how important it can be to accurately communicate with each other.

A.Bad weather.
B.Human error.
C.Breakdown of the engines.
D.Failure of the communications system.
The celebration of mediocrity is on full bloom at Cuesta Community 【M1】______
College in San Luis Obispo, Calif. Cuesta has instituted a lottery system for
admission to it's nursing program. This semester, 38 names were pulled 【M2】______
at randomly from 156 "qualified applicants" —those with at least C averages 【M3】______
in core courses. According to the chancellor of California's community
colleges, grade point averages are an "artificial barrier" to professional
school admission. "We can't discriminate in favor of students who get A's
over students those who may be getting B's," says Amy Grant, dean of 【M4】______
nursing instruction at Cuesta. Prior this year, nursing school admissions at 【M5】______
Cuesta were determined by grade point average, recommendations, medical
experience, and an interview. College officials deny that they are attempting
to circumvent California' s Proposition 209. which bans affirmative action
in state hiring and admissions.
There is a substantial anti-elitism in American life. Job applicants are 【M6】______
ejected for being "overeducated" or "over-qualified". David Halberstam 【M7】______
wrote scornfully of "the best and the brightest" and the "whiz kid" who got 【M8】______
us into Vietnam. The intellectual inclined arc dismissed as "eggheads." 【M9】______
Many college students wear Homer Simpson T-shirts: "Underachiever and
proud of it." NBA players who threaten to kill their coaches earn more in
two weeks than many educators earn in a decade. And Dan Quayle or Ronald
Reagan certainly didn't win admission in Phi Beta Kappa. The Cuesta 【M10】______
lottery admissions program is consistent with the ration's revolt against academic
standards.
