DO SMALLER CLASSES REALLY HELP?

 In an experiment in Canada, ten-year-old children were put in classes of four sizes: 16, 23, 30 and 37 children in (31)____ class. Their teachers said that the smaller classes would result in more individual attention and better marks. However, when the children were (32)____, those in the smaller classes didn’t get higher marks than the others, except in mathematics. Moreover, children in the larger classes said they liked school (33)____ as much. Perhaps the most surprising result was the difference between what teachers expected and the actual results obtained. More than 90% of the teachers expected the smaller classes to (34)____ well. After teaching these smaller classes, over 80% of the teachers thought the pupils had done better. However, according to the researchers, nothing of the (35)____ happened. Class size seemed to make a difference only to the teachers’ own attitudes - and not to the results they obtained.

DỊCH BÀI

Những lớp học nhỏ hơn có thực sự có ích?

Trong một thí nghiệm tại Canada, những đứa trẻ 10 tuổi được xếp vào bốn loại lớp: 16, 23, 30 và 37 học sinh mỗi lớp. Giáo viên của chúng nói rằng các lớp học ít hơn sẽ đến đến việc học sinh chú ý nghe hơn và điểm sẽ cao hơn. Tuy nhiên, khi bọn trẻ được làm bài kiểm tra, những đứa trẻ ở các lớp nhỏ lại có điểm số không cao hơn lớp còn lại, trừ môn toán. Thêm vào đó, học sinh ở những lớp lớn hơn nói rằng chúng rất thích đến trường.

Có lẽ kết quả đáng ngạc nhiên nhất là sự khác biệt giữa những gì mà giáo viên mong đợi và thực tế thu được. Hơn 90% giáo viên mong đợi những lớp ít hơn sẽ làm tốt hơn.

Sau khi dạy các lớp nhỏ hơn, hơn 80% nghĩ rằng học sinh đã làm tố hơn. Tuy nhiên, theo kết quả nghiên cứu, khong có gì giống như mong đợi cả. Quy mô lớn nhỏ của các lớp học dường như chỉ để tạo nên sự khác biệt trong cách nhìn nhận của giáo viên - chứ không phải là trong kết quả mà họ thu được.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.

Long before they can actually speak, babies pay special attention to the speech they hear around them. Within the first month of their lives, babies' responses to the sound of the human voice will be different from their responses to other sorts of auditory stimuli. They will stop crying when they hear a person talking, but not if they hear a bell or the sound of a rattle. At first, the sounds that an infant notices might be only those words that receive the heaviest emphasis and that often occur at the ends of utterances. By the time they are six or seven weeks old, babies can detect the difference between syllables pronounced with rising and falling inflections. Very soon, these differences in adult stress and intonation can influence babies' emotional states and behavior. Long before they develop actual language comprehension, babies can sense when an adult is playful or angry, attempting to initiate or terminate new behavior, and so on, merely on the basis of cues such as the rate, volume, and melody of adult speech. Adults make it as easy as they can for babies to pick up a language by exaggerating such cues. One researcher observed babies and their mothers in six diverse cultures and found that, in all six languages, the mothers used simplified syntax, short utterances and nonsense sounds, and transformed certain sounds into baby talk. Other investigators have noted that when mothers talk to babies who are only a few months old, they exaggerate the pitch, loudness, and intensity of their words. They also exaggerate their facial expressions, hold vowels longer, and emphasize certain words.

More significant for language development than their response to general intonation is observation that tiny babies can make relatively fine distinctions between speech sounds. In other words, babies enter the world with the ability to make precisely those perceptual discriminations that are necessary if they are to acquire aural language.

Babies obviously derive pleasure from sound input, too: even as young as nine months they will listen to songs or stories, although the words themselves are beyond their understanding. For babies, language is a sensory-motor delight rather than the route to prosaic meaning that it often is for adults
