  Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by beingcorrected all the time; if corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times aday the difference between the languages he uses and the language those around him use. Bit bybit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people. In the same way,when children learn to do all the other things they learn to do without being taught-to walk, run,climb, whistle, ride a bicycle-compare those performances with those of more skilled people,and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out hisown mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought thathe would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was madeto. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher. Let him do it himself. Let him work out, with thehelp of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what answer is to that problem,whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or not.

  If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answerbook. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work?Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can‘t find the way to get the rightanswer. Let’s end this nonsense of grades, exams, marks, Let us throw them all out, and letthe children learn what all educated persons must some day learn, how to measure their ownunderstanding, how to know what they know or do not know.

  Let them get on with this job in the way that seems sensible to them. With our help as schoolteachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learnt at school andused for the rest of one‘s life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours.Anxious parents and teachers say, “But suppose they fail to learn something essential they willneed to get in the world?” Don’t worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learnit.

  1.What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things?

  A.by copying what other people do.

  B.by making mistakes and having them corrected.

  Sugar—Friend VS Enemy

  A Sugar is everywhere. It’s in our drinks, it’s in our foods, and it’s hidden in places we neverwould think of. Many would call sugar their friend in time of need, but in fact their so-called “goodfriend” could turn out to be their worst enemy in disguise. Sugar for many is something they mayhave been battling with for a long time. Here’s a simple three-step process to help you start to winback the battle for your health.

  B The first step is to be aware of what sugar really does to your body. Most people will saythey “know” that they shouldn’t have sugar, but they really can’t help it. To me that is a lack of trueawareness of what sugar does to oneself. I don+t think many people will say that they want tohurt their body on purpose, but unless they know it’s really happening they will continue down thatroad. Sugar is slower to impact our health, and it,s that slow destructive process that is themost dangerous. Unfortunately, most people don’t know the damage until it has already been done.

  C Sugar increases fat storing. Possibly the most important hormone in the body is insulin 胰島素,when it comes to weight loss and health. Insulin is the main hormone that we have fullcontrol over daily through our diet and lifestyle. When we eat sugar and it enters into ourbloodstream too quickly, we have a spike in blood sugar levels. Now in times of high activity we areable to burn it off, but if we are sitting around this is not a good thing. So in response to that highlevel of blood sugar, the body will release more insulin into the bloodstream. Insulin will then takethe excess glucose 葡萄糖and try to find a place to store it. If your muscles are all full or haveinsulin resistance then the best place to put the excess glucose is fat cells. When insulin is high,the fat cells are told to shut down any process of releasing stored fat into the blood for burning.With chronic high insulin spikes comes a resistance to it by your cells, leading to more insulinproduction, leading to more fat storing, and more resistance, eventually going down a road ofdiabetes and ill health for the whole body.

  D Sugar also disrupts normal brain function. I think most people can relate to mood swingsand energy highs/lows that come after a high sugar meal. Sugar can also be the source of manypeople’s increased anxiety and depression. Let us not also forget the kids with ever-increasingattention “disorders” and behavioral issues. Sugar is not helping with that, either. In fact, there havebeen many studies that show when taking sugar out of a kid’s diet and increasing fat intake, theirattention ability increases, their behavior changes for the better.

  E Sugar decreases your overall health and makes you age quicker. Too much sugar will loweryour overall immune system increase destructive inflammation, lead to essential mineraldeficiencies in the body, feed bad bacteria growth in your gut and other wonderful stuff. Aging isjust a fancy word for the body breaking down quicker than it can repair itself, as that is whathappens when we get older. Aging also is accelerated by the increasing risks of all degenerativediseases such as diabetes, osteoporosis, heart disease and cancers. We are all going to get older,but it doesn’t mean that we have to “age” quicker.

  F The second step is to realize you are in 100% control of your actions. This could be themost underrated yet the most important step, as we are the only person who controls what we putinto our body. Everything starts in what we choose to put in our mouths. Some people may saythey can’t control their sugar cravings, but that is already admitting defeat and giving up power tosome “cosmic sugar influence” out there. We can pass on dessert, we don’t need to buy a candybar, we can drink water instead of soda, but the choice is ours to make.

  G Also many like to call it an “addiction”. This is just another way to give up your own personalpower of choice. While sugar can have “addictive like” qualities, it’s not something that you own or isa part of you. Fight the battle and you will get over the addictive feelings, they will go away. But ifyou call it an addiction and make it part of you, then it is yours to keep forever. Be free from it, letgo. Take back control and anything is possible.

  H The third step is to just live the daily journey one choice at a time. Life is just a series ofpresent moments, and the choices we make in those moments. So let,s just focus on what wecan do right now instead of worrying about what has happened in the past or may or may nothappen in the future. “Now” is all we have and all we need to focus on.

  I Choose to eat more natural foods. Choose whole food proteins, healthy fats and naturalsources of carbohydrates. If it wasn’t around a thousand years ago or is made by man and notnature, chances are you don’t need it. Note how it says “Choose” above, as it is your choice. Findthe hidden sources of sugars and remove them. Sugar is hidden in places such as sauces, ketchup,soups, processed foods, drinks, so called health bars, and more. Become a label reader and seehow much sugar you are consistently putting into your body. Don’t fall for the marketing trickeither of “low fat”, because that usually means “more sugar”.

  1. We are able to lower blood sugar levels by taking part in intense activities.

  2. If you consider sugar as an addiction and call it something that you own, you won"t get ridof it forever.

  3. In the author’s opinion, the reason why many people can$t help having sugar is that they areunaware of its danger.

  4. When insulin in the bloodstream is high, fat cells will stop releasing stored fat.

  5. The author believes that sugar which we called “good friend” in time of need in fact is a hiddenenemy.

  6. Many studies show that sugar-free diets with more fat can improve children’s attention ability.

  7. The truth that we get older is that our body breaks down faster than it can be self¬repaired.

  8. You yield to your addictive feelings, which means you give up your own personal power ofchoice.

  9. The author believes that taking high sugar meals may result in mood fluctuation.

  10. To be healthy, what we should do now is to eat natural foods and get rid of the hiddensources of sugars.
