Sending a Thank-You LetterBIn a time of low academic （学术的） achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for
7、 possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development spe
8、cialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents （答问卷者） listed to give children a good start academically as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents
9、 chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The majority
10、 of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. 62 pe
11、rcent of the more individually oriented （强调个性发展的） Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education.Like in America, there is diversity （多样性） in Japanes
12、e early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential （潜力） development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools.Some Japanese parents believe that if their young chi
13、ldren attend a university-based program, it will increase the childrens chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens.5. We learn from

While countries such as India have made joint efforts to reduce birth rates, Brazil had
18、 better results without really trying, says George Martine at Harvard.Brazils population growth rate dropped from 2. 99% a year between 1951 and 1960 to 1. 93% a year between 198 land 1990, and Brazilian women now have only 2. 7 children on average. Martine says this figure may have fallen still fur
19、ther since 1990, an achievement that makes it the envy of many other Third World countries.Martine puts it down to, among other things, soap operas （肥皂剧） and installment （分期付款） plans introduced in the 1970s. Both played an important, although indirect, role in lowering the birth rate. Brazil is one
20、of the worlds biggest producers of soap operas. Globo, Brazils most popular television network, shows three hours of soaps six nights a week, while three others show at least one hour a night. Most soaps are based on wealthy characters living the high life in big cities.Although they have never real
21、ly tried to work in a message towards the problems of reproduction, they describe middle and upper class values: not many children, women working, says Martine. They sent this image to all parts of Brazil and made people conscious （有意识的） of other patterns of behaviour and other values, which were pu
22、t into a very attractive package.Meanwhile, the installment plans tried to encourage the poor to become consumers. This led to an enormous change in consumption （消费） patterns and consumption was incompatible （不相容的） with unlimited reproduction, says Martine.9. According to the passage, Brazil has low

You may treat life with the philosophy （哲学） of the vegetable, in which case your life will include being born, eating, drinking, sleeping, marrying, growing old an
27、d dying.The second basic attitude is to look at life as if it were a business. A great many so-called successful men and women believe that life is a business. If you believe so, your first question of life, naturally, is What do I get out of it? How much is this worth to me? In a word, based on thi
28、s attitude, happiness becomes a matter of successful competition. The great majority of human beings today look at life as if it were a business.The third attitude toward life is the way of the artist. Here the basic philosophy is What can I put into it?. They value cooperation and contribution. This point of view has been proved by history; for history remembers best those who have contributed most richly to the interests of their fellow-men.
