　　Passage 2

　　Questions 16-20 are based on the following p assage

　　From the very beginning of school we make books and reading a constant

　　source of possible failure and public humiliation. When children are little, we

　　make them read aloud before the teacher and other children, so that we can be

　　sure they "know" all the words they are reading. This means that when they don't

　　know a word, they are going to make a mistake, right in front of everyone. After

　　having taught fifth-grade classes for four years, I decided to try at all costs

　　to rid them of their fear and dislike of books, and to get them to read oftener

　　and more adventurously.

　　One day soon after school had started, I said to them, "Now I'm going to

　　say something about reading that you have probably never heard a teacher say

　　before. I would like you to read a lot of books this year, but I want you to

　　read them only for pleasure. I am not going to ask you questions to find out

　　whether you understand the books or not. If you understand enough of a book to

　　enjoy it and want to go on reading it, that's enough for me. Also I’m not going

　　to ask you what words mean. "

　　The children sat stunned and silent. Was this a teacher talking? One girl,

　　who had just come to us from a school where she had had a very hard time, looked

　　at me steadily for a long time after I had finished. Then, still looking at me,

　　she said slowly and seriously, "Mr. Holt, do you really mean that?" I said just

　　as seriously, "I mean every word of it."

　　During the spring she really astonished me. One day, she was reading at her

　　desk. From a glimpse of the illustrations, I thought I knew what the book was. I

　　said to myself, "It can't be," and went to take a closer look. Sure enough, she

　　was reading Moby Dick, in edition with woodcuts. I said, "Don't you find parts

　　of it rather heavy going?" She answered, “Oh, sure, but I just skip over those

　　parts and go on to the next good part."

　　This is exactly what reading should be and in school so seldom is an

　　exciting, joyous adventure. Find something, dive into it, take the good parts,

　　skip the bad parts, get what you can out of it, go on to something else. How

　　different is our mean-spirited, picky insistence that every child get every last

　　little scrap of "understanding" that can be dug out of a book.
