Stella We might marvel at the progress made in every field of study, but the methods of testing a person’s knowledge and ability remain as primitive as ever they were. It really is extraordinary that after all these years, educationists have still failed to devise anything ore efficient and reliable than examinations. For all the claim that examinations test what you know, it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite. They may be just a good means of testing memory, or the skill of working rapidly under extreme pressure. Terrell As anxiety-makers, examinations are second to none. That is because so much depends on them. They are the mark of success or failure in our society. Your whole future may be decided in one fateful day. It doesn’t matter that you weren’t feeling very well, or that your mother died. Little things like that don’t count: the exam goes on. No one can give of his best when he is in mortal terror, or after a sleepless night, yet this is precisely what the examination system expects him to do. Roger Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely, but to restrict his reading; they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge, but induce cramming. They lower the standards of teaching, for they deprive the teacher of all freedom. Teachers themselves are often judged by examination results and instead of teaching their subjects, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques which they despise. The most successful candidates are not always the best educated; they are the best trained in the technique of working under force. Gardner At least, examinations give us a way to check how well we are getting along with our study. Students get to know their weak points and what they should try to improve in the future study. Teachers get useful feedback from their students and can reflect on their own teaching. Without examination, both teachers and students may get lost. Forster Examiners are only human. They get tired and hungry; they make mistakes. Yet they have to mark stacks of hastily scrawled scripts in a limited amount of time. They work under the same sort of pressure as the candidates. And their word carries weight. After a judge’s decision you have the right of appeal, but not after an examiner’s. There must surely be much simpler and more effective ways of assessing a person’s true abilities.StatementsA. Examinations cannot test a person’s true knowledge and ability.B. Examinations are constantly being improved.C. The results of examinations are the subjective assessment of the examiners.D. Personal factors can affect your performance in examinations.E. Examinations restrict learning and teaching.F. Examinations help to evaluate teaching and learning.G. Teachers want examinations; they provide a clear objective assessment. Forster
From Boston to Los Angeles, from New York City to Chicago to Dallas, museums are either planning, building, or finishing wholesale expansion programs. These programs already have dramatically altered appearances and floor plans or are expected to do so in the not-too-distant future. In New York City alone, six major institutions have spread up and out into the air space and neighborhoods around them or are preparing to do so. The reasons for this activity are complex, but one factor is a consideration everywhere—space. With collections expanding, with the needs and functions of museums changing, empty space has become a very precious commodity. Probably nowhere in the country is this more tree than at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which has needed additional space for decades and which received its last significant facelift ten years ago. Because of the space crunch, the Art Museum has become increasingly cautious in considering acquisitions and donations of art, in some cases passing up opportunities to strengthen its collections. Selling off works of art has taken on new importance because of the museum’s space problems. And increasingly, museum presidents have been forced to rotate one masterpiece into public view while another is sent to storage. Despite the clear need for additional gallery and storage space, however "the museum has no plan, no plan to break out of its envelope in the next fifteen years," according to Philadelphia Museum of Art’s president. Because of insufficient space the Philadelphia Museum of Art must ______.
A. strengthen its collection through donations
B. be cautious in allowing the public to visit its artwork
C. collect more money to build a new large museum
D. be selective in accepting additional artwork
