　　One topic is rarely mentioned in all the talk of improving standards in our schools：the almost complete failure of foreign-language teaching．As a French graduate who has taught for more than twenty-five years, I believe I have some idea of why the failure is so total．　　1　　 the faults already found out in the education system as a whole－such as child-centred learning, the “discovery” method, and the low expectations by teachers of pupils－there have been several serious 　　2　　 which have a direct effect on language teaching．

　　The first is the removal from the curriculum(課程)of the thorough teaching of English 　　3　　．Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentence from its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future．

　　Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so 　　4　　 that the most able groups are 　　5　　 and are bored while the least able are lost and 　　6　　 bored．Strangely enough, few head teachers seem to be in favour of mixed-ability school football teams．

　　Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stop having　　7　　 lessons．This is why many people who attended French lessons at school, even those who got good grades, have forgotten it a few years later．　　8　　 they never need it, they do not practice it．

　　Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and 　　9　　 modern languages, even Spanish, from the curriculum．Perhaps it is time for Britain to do the same, and stop 　　10　　 resources on a subject which few pupils want or need．

CLOZE TEST

　　In recent years many countries of the world have been faced with the problem of how to make their workers more productive．Some experts say the 　　1　　 is to make jobs more varied(多樣的)．But do more varied jobs 　　2　　 greater productivity? There is evidence to suggest that 　　3　　 variety certainly makes the worker's life more enjoyable, it doesn't 　　4　　 make him work harder．As far as increasing productivity is concerned, then, 　　5　　 is not an important factor．

　　To what 　　16　　 does more money lead to greater productivity? The workers themselves certainly think this is 　　17　　 ．But perhaps they want more money only because the work they do is so boring．　　18　　 just lets them enjoy their spare time more．A 　　19　　　argument may explain demands for shorter working hours．Perhaps if we 　　20　　　making their jobs more interesting, they will neither want more money, nor will shorter working hours be so important to them．

　　 The measure of a man's real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out. —Thomas Macaulay
　　Some thirty years ago, I was studying in a public school in New York. One day, Mrs Nanette O'Neill gave an arithmetic 26 to our class. When the papers were 27 she discovered that twelve boys had made exactly the 28 mistakes throughout the test.
　　There is nothing really new about 29 in exams. Perhaps that was why Mrs O'Neill 30 even say a word about it. She only asked the twelve boys to 31 after class. I was one of the twelve.
　　Mrs O'Neill asked 32 questions, and she didn't 33 us either. Instead, she wrote on the blackboard the 34 words by Thomas Macaulay. She then ordered us to 35 these words into our exercise-books one hundred times.
　　I don't 36 about the other eleven boys. Speaking for 37 I can say:it was the most important single 38 of my life. Thirty years after being 39 to Macaulay's words, they 40 seem to me the best yardstick(準(zhǔn)繩), because they give us a 41 to measure ourselves rather than others.
　　42 of us are asked to make 43 decisions about nations going to war of armies going to battle. But all of us are called 44 daily to make a great many personal decisions. 45 the wallet, found in the street, be put into a pocket 46 turned over to the policeman? Should the 47 change received at the store be forgotten or 48? Nobody will know except 49. But you have to live with yourself, and it is always 50 to live with someone you respect.
