22、telligence or wealth.,Para12a:,在解释自己的教育方法时，乔高尔德指出，对传统的教育体制不能只是改革。他说“无论怎样改革”，用马和马车“是改革不出汽车的”。海德中学认为“每一个人都有自己的独特潜能”，这种潜能的基础是品格而不是智力或财富。,Conscience and hard work are valued.

29、ze their own weaknesses.,Para 14:,在海德中学的综合教育中，父母的参与是一个关键的组成部分。为了使孩子被该校录取，家长也必须同意接受并实践学校的思想和观点。家长们签约同意每月出席一次区域小组会议(共20个区域小组)，每年去区域休养所三天，每年至少参加三次巴思市的研修班、讨论组和研讨会。在很多活动中，缅因州学生家长的出席率高达95%。乔和马尔科姆高尔德都说，当孩子们见到自己的父母都在全力以赴时，他们也会竭尽全力。他们说，对许多家长而言，最困难的是让他们意识到自己的不足。,教育的目的是培养孩子的心智，使其发挥最大潜能。 我们已经尽量让测试既简单又全面，这样我们就能大
30、体上了解哪些你们懂了，哪些还不懂。 大家对这本有争议的书褒贬不一，但艺术家们是否阅读过它，我还需要作进一步的调查。 三份相互独立的日报均已被要求暂停发行。 我工作了一整天，他们却只给5美元，我倍感侮辱。,6. 实验室主任说这个实验还处在初始阶段，要得出最终结果还需要更多的时间。 7. 他们一定知道怎样利用并在必要时更改那些旧的传统规则。 8. 报告非常明确指出中国将坚持改革开放政策。 9. 我们许多人都期望能有机会为世界作出有价值的贡献。 10. 尽管议院只讨论了报告的一小部分，但这些报告却引起了相当大的关注。,The process for public school parents is

Of the 100 students enrolled in New Haven, about 30% of the parents attend special meetings. The low attendance is in spite of commitments they made at the ou
32、tset of the program when Hyde officials interviewed 300 families.,Para 15:,公立学校学生家长的活动计划仍在制定之中。这项工作的困难要大得多，因为很难使家长相信他们的参与很有价值。在纽黑文市录取的100名学生中，有30%左右的家长出席了各类特别会议。这一低出席率违背了他们在教学计划开始实施时所做的承诺，当时海德中学的官员曾与300个家庭进行了面谈。,巴思市一名在公立学校教书达14年之久的教师说，一旦问题得到解决，海德教学计划就会在公立学校中获得成功。他乐观地认为，一旦家长们投入到计划当中，他们就会成为孩子们日常行为的榜样，
33、这与寄宿学校的学生家长完全不同。,Para 16:,One former inner-city high school teacher who now works in the New Haven program, says teachers also benefit. “Here we really begin to focus on having a fruitful relationship with each student.

Faculty evaluations are conducted by the students.,Para 17:,一名曾任教于旧城区学校的教师如今在从事纽黑文教学计划。他说，教师也能从中受益。 “在这里，我们真正开始集中精力与每一个学生建立卓有成效的关系。
35、我们的重点真的是先考虑师生关系，然后是师生共同探讨学业。而在传统的中学里，是先考虑教师和教材的关系，然后再考虑师生关系。”师生关系在海德中学被进一步深化了。对教职员工的评估由学生来进行。,“When I came here, I insulted and cursed everybody. Every other school was, Get out, we dont want to deal with you. I came here and they said, We kind of like that spirit. We dont like it with the negative
36、attitudes. We want to turn that spirit positive.“,“我来这儿时，见人就侮辱，就咒骂。其他每所学校都会说：滚出去！我们这儿不要你。我来到这儿，他们却说：我们有几分喜欢这种活力，但并不喜欢它消极的一面，我们要将它转化成积极的东西。”,Para 1-2 the principles of the Hyde SchoolPara 3-11 the efforts to make the Character First,idea accepted by other public schools,Para 12-16 the Hyde Schools ap

40、 moral values and academic achievements are stressed equally.,5. It is said that the meeting, which is scheduled to be held this month, will be put off till next month. 6. The school sees its job as preparing its students for life by cultivating a comprehensive set of principles that can benefit all of them.1跟在法国样，美国在20世纪60年代也发生过文化革命。2他旦下定决心去干一件事，就根本拦不住他。3学校强调的观点是：家长和孩子一起参加学校的活动是值得的。,4快下课时，老师让学生用最后的五分钟来展开激烈的讨论，依照110的评分标准相互评价他们当天的课堂表现。5为了避免引发针对他们的品格培养方案的争论，该校校长解释说，品格第一并不是要强迫学生接受某一套道德原则或宗教观念。6非所有的家长部相信海德中学的办学原则，即如果你向学牛传授诸如求真、勇敢、正直、领导能力、好奇心和关心他人等美德的话，学生的学习成绩就自然会提高。,
