Imagine being asked to spend 12 or so years of your life in a society which consisted only of members of your own sex. How would you react? Unless there was something definitely wrong with you, you wouldn’t be too happy about it, to say the least. It is all the more surprising therefore that so many parents in the world choose to impose such abnormal conditions on their children — conditions which they themselves wouldn’t put up with for one minute!
Any discussion of this topic is bound to question the aims of education. Stuffing children’s heads full of knowledge is far from being foremost among them. One of the chief aims of education is to equip future citizens with all they require to take their place in adult society. Adult society is made up of men and women, so how can a segregated school possibly offer the right sort of preparation for it? Anyone entering adult society after years of segregation can only be in for a shock.
A coeducational school offers children nothing less than a true version of society in miniature. Boys and girls are given the opportunity to get to know each other and to learn to live together from their earliest years. They are put in a position where they can compare themselves with each other in terms of academic ability, athletic achievement and in many of the extra-curricular activities which are part of school life. What a practical advantage it is (to give just a small example) to be able to put on a school play in which the male parts will be taken by boys and the female parts by girls! What nonsense coeducation makes of the argument that boys are cleverer than girls or vice versa! When segregated, boys and girls are made to feel that they are a race apart.
Rivalry
between the sexes is fostered. In a coeducational school, everything falls into its proper place.
But perhaps the greatest contribution of coeducation is the healthy attitude to life it encourages. Boys don’t grow up believing that women are mysterious creatures — airy goddesses, more like fairy tale book illustrations, than human beings. Girls don’t grow up imagining that men are romantic heroes. Years of living together at school dispel illusions of this kind. There are no goddesses with freckles, pigtails, piercing voices and inky fingers. There are no romantic heroes with knobby knees, dirty fingernails and
unkempt
hair. The awkward stage of adolescence brings into sharp focus some of the physical and emotional problems involved in growing up. These can more easily be overcome in a coeducational environment. Segregated schools sometimes provide the right conditions for sexual deviation. This is hardly possible under a coeducational system. When the time comes for the pupils to leave school, they are fully prepared to enter society as well-adjusted adults. They have already had years of experience in coping with many of the problems that face men and women. [br] What can coeducation provide to children?
选项
A、Skills about getting on well with each other.
B、A true model of the real society.
C、A real life.
D、A true picture of social conditions.
答案
B
解析
细节识别。根据第三段第一句“A coeducational school offers children nothing less than a true version of society in miniature”可知,男女合校给孩子们提供的恰恰是真正社会的缩影。本句的version与选项B的model是近义词,故选B。
