问题     The French education system is very different from the English one in its aims, its organization and its results. The French child too, the raw material of this education, is unlike the English child and differences in the raw material may well account for differences in the processes employed.
    The French child, boy or girl, gives one the impression of being intellectually more precocious than the product of the chillier English climate. This is encouraged by his upbringing among adults, not in a nursery. English parents readily adapt their conversation to the child’s point of view and interest themselves more in his games and childish preoccupation. The English are, as regards national character, younger than the French, or, to put it another way, there is in England no deep division between the life of the child and that of the grown man. The art of talking to children in the kind of language they understand is so much an English art that most of the French children’s favorite books are translations from the English.
    French parents on the other hand, do their best to develop the child’s intelligence as rapidly as possible. They have little patience with childish ideas even if they do not go so far as to look upon childhood as an unfortunate but necessary prelude to adult life. Not that they need to force the child, for he usually lends himself willingly to the process, and enjoys the effect of his unexpectedly clever remarks and unusual sayings and of his bright judgment of men and things. It is not without significance that the French mother instead of appealing to the child’s heart by asking him to be good appeals to his reason by asking him to be wise. Reasonableness is looked for early in France, and the age of reason is fixed at seven years. [br] The word "prelude" in the phrase "... but necessary prelude to adult life"(in the 2nd sentence of Paragraph 3 probably means______.
