阅读训练 关于外语的学习，在中国除专业（specialty）外语外，学生在基础教育（basic education）中只有英语一种。这是教育系统（education system）为全体学生做的统一选择。 而在美国，学生选择德育（moral education）的就大得多，包括西班牙语（Spanish）、法语（French）、拉丁语（Latin）等。在美国不用教材的课也是存在的，他们通常叫做“家庭生活（domesticity）”课。课程内容包括缝纫（needlework），烹饪（cooking）和增强自信心（self-confident）等等。他们教给学生的是书本以外生活之中的事情，是作为一个人必需（necessary）的生活知识。 在教育模式（education model）中，中国的启发式教育一个弱势（disadvantage），就是某一个问题的答案通过引导（induce）学生，使他们找到唯一的（unique）答案。美国学校的教学法，除了引导学生去理解（comprehend）和掌握（master）教师一致的正确答案外，还给与学生自由想象的（imaginary）空间，去寻找教师和学生都不知道但又确实存在的潜在（potential）答案。 拓展阅读： Baseball Match Mr. Jenkins works in a middle school.
