Schools expect textbooks to be a valuable source of information for students. My research suggests, however, that textbooks that address the place of Native Americans within the history of the United States distort history to suit a particular cultural value system. In some textbooks, for example, settlers are pictured as more humane, complex, skillful, and wise than Native American. In essence, textbooks stereotype and deprecate the numerous Native American cultures while reinforcing the attitude that the European conquest of the New World denotes the superiority of European cultures. Although textbooks evaluate Native American architecture, political systems, and home-making, I contend that they do it from an ethnocentric, European perspective without recognizing that other perspectives are possible.
One argument against my contention asserts that, by nature, text- books are culturally biased and that I am simply underestimating children’s ability to see through these biases. Some researchers even claim that by the time students are in high school, they know they cannot take textbooks literally. Yet substantial evidence exists to the contrary. Two researchers, for example, have conducted studies that suggest that children’s attitudes about particular culture are strongly influenced by the textbooks used in schools. Given this, an ongoing, careful review of how school textbooks depict Native American is certainly warranted. [br] The author implies that which of the following will occur if textbooks are not carefully reviewed?
选项
A、Children will remain ignorant of the European settlers’ conquest of the New World.
B、Children will lose their ability to recognize biases in textbooks.
C、Children will form negative stereotypes of Native Americans.
D、Children will develop an understanding of ethnocentrism.
E、Children will stop taking textbooks seriously.
答案
C
解析
文中作者暗示:如果课本不仔细检查,会有何后果出现?作者最后说:考虑到此点(课本对儿童态度的影响),要进行检查。取非得:C.儿童会对印第安人文化形成负面偏见。A、B、D、E均不合上述推理。
