When children learn to speak, other people do not correct (纠正) their mistakes all the time. If we correct too much, they will stop speaking. Let themselves understand the difference between the language they speak and the language other people around them speak. Day after day, they will make some changes to make their language like other people's language. In the same way, children can learn to do many other things without others' help. For example, to walk, run, climb, and ride a bike-make themselves understand how they should do it. Slowly they can make some changes they need.But in school we never let a child himself find out his mistakes and correct them for himself. We usually think he never knows his mistakes if we do not tell him or he never corrects them if we do not make him do it. We should try to let him find out the answers to the problems, and the good ways of working them out with the help of other children if he wants.Can teachers give the students answer books if they do maths problems? Let them correct their homework all by themselves. When the students tell their teachers that they can't find the ways to get the right answers, the teachers should help them. Let the students know what they must learn, how to judge their own understanding (理解力), how to know what they know or what they do not know. These are the most important.1.This text tells us that the children should learn things by(通过) _______.A.listening to other peopleB.doing what other people doC.making mistakes and then correcting themD.asking other people many questions2.Which of the following is right?

The demon agreed and went away.That year the farmer grew potatoes in his fields. When the demon came for his shard he got the stems(茎) and leaves of the plant but not a potato since they grew underground.“Next time I’ll take whatever grows below the ground!” he screamed. When he came again some months later the farmer was harvesting corn. He had planted corn and had got a good harvest “Where’s my share?” the demon shouted.“Your share is under the ground, your Excellency,” said the farmer. “You can take the roots away whenever you want.”The demon, ashamed of being outwitted by a farmer, turned around without a word and walked away and the farmer never saw him again.根据短文内容，选择正确答案。
