说考试

　　Is that so important? Yes. A college student should know how to read and should learn to read much and fast. She should, on graduation, have read hundreds and hundreds of pages, dozens and dozens of books. . How else can our students inherit the knowledge that mankind has gained through the ages? For that is what China m must do in order to modernize.

　　Of course, reading in itself is not enough. We must think - think about what we read and analyze its content, idea： and ap.proach. Cultivate the habit of analysis. That is the aim of education. But we must have something solid to analyze. We must have some knowledge of the world, of nature, of society, past and present, Chinese and foreign. So we must read much. Therefore we must learn to read fast.

　　Naturally, we do need to know something about the language. We do need to know some grammar. But grammar is only a means to an end, not an end in itself. For grammar, after all, is theory. And what is theory for and where does it come from ? It comes from practice and serves practice. The same applies to grammar. So we need to do some intensive reading for the sake of extensive reading, for the sake of reading whole articles, whole books. A little theory goes a long way. The final test is practice.

　　True, reading is far from the only source of knowledge. Reading without observing life and taking part in life, without experimenting, will produce bookworms, not modernizers. This does not show that all kinds of I. R. are absolutely useless and should be scrappeds. Some I . R . should be kept but it should be kept within limit. It should not be the super-power course, riding roughshod over the language curriculum and taking over most of the timetable. And what I . R . we keep and teach should not be so long and so hard that the teacher is forced to use the duck-stuffing, lecturing method. And it should not just focus on words, words, words 。 It should focus on meaning, on ideas, on understanding, on communication - on forests as well as on trees.
