　　Where you keep your saving is important both to you and to our economic system. Saving kept in a jar at home or in a safe-deposit box is idle. They are not circulating and doing the work that money is supposed to do. If all savings were just stored away, production should slow down. There would be fewer jobs and less income. Saving deposited in a bank, however, are put to work by the bank, they are loaned to people who use them to buy cares, refrigerators, stores, machines, office equipment, and other capital goods. Someone else spend the money you don’t spend. The wheels of our economic system keep turning.

　　Putting savings to work is called investing. Savings can be invested in several ways. Depositing them in a bank is only one way. Savings also can be used to buy bonds or life insurance.

　　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, or how much priority (优先) it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him 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 sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: “ this work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible (难以辨认) .” 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 expression of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child’s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.

　　41. Teachers differ in their opinion about .

　　A) the difficulties in teaching spelling

　　B) the role of spelling in general language development

　　C) the complexities of the basis writing skills

　　D) the necessity of teaching spelling

　　42. The expression of “play safe” probably means .

　　A) to write carefully

　　B) to do as teachers say

　　C) to use dictionaries frequently

　　D) to avoid using words one is not sure of

　　43. Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that .

　　A) students will be able to express their ideas more freely

　　B) teachers will have less trouble in correcting mistakes

　　C) students will have more confidence in writing

　　D) students will learn to be independent of teachers

　　44. The writer seems to think that the teacher’s judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is .

　　A) reasonable

　　B) unfair

　　C) foolish

　　D) careless

　　45. The major point discussed in the passage is .

　　A) the importance of developing writing skill

　　B) the complexities of spelling

　　C) the correct way of making compositions

　　D) the relationship between spelling and the content of a composition
