問題詳情
請依下文回答第 46 題至第 50 題： I sat in on an English lesson at the Gamal Abdel Nasser Secondary School. The Scottish instructor—one of threeBritons employed in the Yemeni school system—was drilling the class in the difference between the “present simple”and the “present continuous”. There were twenty very thin, very eager boys aged between about fourteen andtwenty-two. They were part of that tiny educated leaven in a country which has an illiteracy rate of ninety percent, andthey had tense, ambitious faces. They had been trained to compete continually against each other, so that the lessonturned into a kind of noisy greyhound race. The moment that the instructor was half-way through a question, his voicewas drowned by shouts of “Teacher! Teacher! Teacher!” and I lost sight of him behind the thicket of urgently raisedhands. If a student began to stumble over an answer, the others fought to grab the question for themselves, bellowingfor the teacher’s attention. I once taught for a term at a comprehensive school in England: had the children in my classever shown a small fraction of the enthusiasm displayed by these Yemeni students, I might have stayed in the job agreat deal longer. They were ravenous for the good marks and certificates which would take them out of their villagesand tenements, and they behaved as if every minute spent in the classroom could make or break them.

【“勞謙君子，有終吉”】評論
我坐在Gamal Abdel Nasser中學的英語課上。這位蘇格蘭教官是Yemeni學校系統中僱傭的三名英國人之一，他正在鑽研“現在簡單”與“現在連續”之間的差異。有二十個非常瘦小，非常熱心的男孩，年齡在十四歲到二十二歲之間。他們是一個文盲率高達百分之九十的國家那些受過教育的微型麵包酵母的一部分，他們有著緊張而雄心勃勃的面孔。他們已經接受過不斷相互競爭的訓練，這樣教訓就變成了一種喧囂的灰狗賽跑。教師在一個問題的中途，他的聲音被呼喊“老師！老師！老師！“我緊緊地抬起雙手背後，看不到他。如果一個學生開始絆倒答案，其他人就爭取為自己提出問題，吼叫老師的注意力。我曾在英格蘭的一所綜合學校教過一個學期：如果我班上的孩子表現出這些Yemeni學生表現出的一小部分熱情，我可能會長時間呆在工作崗位上。他們對那些能夠將他們帶出他們的村莊和公寓的好標誌和證書感到貪婪，他們表現得好像在教室裡度過的每一分鐘都會使他們成為或失敗。
