the part played by custom in shaping the behaviour
of
the
individual
as
over
against
any
way
in
which
he
can
affect
traditional
custom,

proportion of the total
vocabulary of his mother tongue over against those
words of his own baby
talk that are
taken up into the vernacular of his family.

euphemizing,all right,but is doing it to encourage

teacher is euphemizing when he has us
use
”
culturally different
children
”

of life that
might easily be neglected.

Unit 15
previous
analogies
are
seriously
inadequate,
for
while
they
may
describe
a
part
of
the
teaching activity,they also suggest
patterns that are not fully applicable to
teaching.
答案:
Almost none of
the analogies that have been used so far can fully
describe what teaching is
all
about.(or:
Nearly
all
the
analogies
that
have
been
used
so
far
can
only
present
a
partial
picture,rather
than
a
complete
one,of
what
teaching
is
really
about.)In
this
sense,none
of
them
serves as
an analogy for teaching.

endeavor,each of these common analogies turns on

isolated from each other.

audience,but he measures success by large numbers.

audience ,who do
not
participate,

he
would
evaluate
his
performance
not
by
their
involvement
in
class
activities,but by the
size of the class.

accepts
his
leadership
role,yet
recognizes
that
the
success
of
the
journey(measured
by
the
scaling
of
the
heights)depends
upon
close
cooperation
and
active
participation by each
member of the group.
答案:
The
mountaineer knows his own function as a leader and
is well aware,too,that whether they
can
climb to the top is decided by how well each
member can cooperate with the others and how
far each member is ready to involve
himself in the endeavour.
ial skills must be mastered if the trip
is to be successful;lacking them,disaster looms as
an
ominous possibility.
