Every morning, she leaves home at 5:30 to get clean water for her family in a village far away. It takes her six hours to get enoug

26、h clean water for daily cooking and drinking. She has no time to go to school or to play with her friends. Millions of people in the world are like Napoga. They cant get enough clean water to keep healthy. Earth Day is on April 22. But on all other days, we must also remember it. The water we use is

27、 the most important natural resource(自然資源) on the earth.Water covers 70% of the earths surface. But most of that is sea water. We cant use it for very many things. Fresh water covers only 1% of the earths surface. You probably feel lucky that your life isnt as hard as Napogas. But that doesnt mean y

All kinds of things from cars, factories, farms and homes make our rivers, lakes, and oceans dirty. Polluted water is very bad for people to drink. And dirty water is bad for fish, too. Now, 34% of

29、 all kinds of fish are dying out. How do cars and factories make our water dirty? First, they pollute the air. Then, when it rains, the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty. Dirty rain, called acid rain(酸雨), is also bad for plants, animals and buildings.Scientists say that in 30

30、years, more than half of the people in the world wont have enough clean water. We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children.

35、hought about what often happens at home. My 12-year-old daughter is in tears. “Mom, I have to take a test tomorrow. I dont understand any of it,” she cries out. After shouting and shutting her door, she calms down enough to go through her notes. The following day I ask her how the test wen

36、t and she just says “OK, I got a nine”.“Wow. Well done!” I say, before she finishes with “But I never get a ten!”According to James, this obsession with getting top marks has been a bad development, which encourages people to think of education in terms of work and money. To test this, I a

37、sked my daughter why she was so worried about her tests. She looked at me as if I was sick. “Well, if I dont get good grades, I wont be able to afford nice things like a car and a house.”I was quite surprised, because I dont consider myself a pushy(有進取心) parent. But James suggests and it l

38、eaves students feeling failures(失敗) even if they are very bright. He points to the Danish system(體制) of education as a better model. Creating happy citizens who have good social skills is seen as more important than high achievements at school or the needs of business.For me, I cannot remember

39、the last time I had to work out the area of a circle, recite a Shakespeare poem or grammar rules, yet I have lived a happy life. What I really needed to learn at school was how to make polite conversations, or how to avoid getting into debt(負債) or how to develop good personality.This is in

40、 fact similar to what Oliver James really has in mind. And he is looking for schools where students are encouraged to find and follow their own interests, something more like Tongjon. Tongjon has been developed in some Korean private schools. It is quite different from the more rigid(

41、嚴格的) system of learning things by heart that is used in Korea, and indeed in many other school systems around the world. As the Russian poet Pushkin said, “Inspiration(靈感) is needed in geometry(幾何學) just as much as in poetry”, and inspiration does not come from endlessly revising for tests or g
