问题    There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it and how to encourage a child to write without holding hiw back with the complexities of spelling.
   If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to "play safe". He will tend to write only-words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.
   I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a piece of writing about a personal experience: "This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is not neat." It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technical abilities in writing. But it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors. But if his priorities had centred on the child’s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the writing would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement."
选项 A、He agrees to it.
B、He is opposed to it.
C、He stands neutrally (中立地) about it.
D、He says nothing about it.
答案 B
解析 推理判断题。本题询问作者对第一段中提到的“普遍看法”持什么态度。根据文章第一段第一句话可知这个“普遍看法”是指家长普遍认为学校不再重视学生的拼写问题。第一段第二句话指出作者工作过的学校从来都没有忽视过学生的拼写问题。由此可推知作者不赞同这一“普遍看法”，故选项B(不同意这种看法)为正确答案。
