二. Close test
Time spent in a bookshop can be enjoyable. If you go to a 1 shop, no assistant (营业员) will come near to you and say, “Can I help you?” You 2 buy anything you don’t want. You may try to find out 3 the book you want is . But if you fail, the assistant will lead (引导) you there and then he will go away. It seems that he is 4 selling any books at all.
There is a story which tells us about a good shop. A medical (医学的) student 5 a very useful book in the shop, 6 it was too expensive for him to buy. He couldn’t get it from the library, either. So every afternoon, he went there to read 7 at a time. One day, however (然而), he couldn’t find 8 from its usual place and was leaving when he saw an assistant signing (示意) to him. To his surprise, the assistant pointed to the book 9 , “I put it there so as not to be sold out.” Said the assistant. Then he 10 the student to go on with his reading.

三.Reading comprehension
Let children learn to judge (判断) their own work. When children learn to speak, other people do not correct (纠正) their mistakes all the time. If we correct too much, they will stop speaking. Let themselves understand the difference between the language they speak and the language other people around them speak. Day after day, they will make some changes to make their language like other people's language. In the same way, children can learn to do many other things without others' help. For example, to walk, run, climb, and ride a bike-make themselves understand how they should do it. Slowly they can make some changes they need.
But in school we never let a child himself find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We usually think he never knows his mistakes if we do not tell him or he never corrects them if we do not make him do it. We should try to let him find out the answers to the problems, and the good ways of working them out with the help of other children if he wants.
Can teachers give the students answer books if they do maths problems? Let them correct their homework all by themselves. When the students tell their teachers that they can't find the ways to get the right answers, the teachers should help them. Let the students know what they must learn, how to judge their own understanding (理解力), how to know what they know or what they do not know. These are the most important.

(2)选C。哪句话是正确的①老师从不给学生答案；②老师从不让学生犯错误；③当学生犯错误时老师不要总是纠正学生的错误；④老师只给学生答案当他们有问题的时候。前面两个较容易看出是错误的，这两种说法太绝对；从最后一段可得出第④种说法也是错误的。老师应帮助学生；让学生知道什么是必须学的，怎样判断自己的理解力，怎样去理解他们所知道或是不知道的东西，而不应是单纯地给答案。从第一段里可得出第③种说法是正确的。
