Creativity Is Needed

字號(hào):

My major is physics. In our dormitories, the most popular topic is about the Nobel Prize. We fellows often chat on Einstein, Hawkin in admiration. But look at their nationalities,German, American, French…… sometimes we do find someone of yellow race. Well, he must be a Japanese or just a "banana man" with yellow skin but an American heart inside. What's the problem? Why can't an ancient nation with a population of 1.2 billion produce a Nobel Prize winner?
    We are not dull. In the past, our ancestors made many wonderful achievements. They discovered some math theories hundreds years before western scientists. The reason why we lag behind today lies in our education system. In primary and secondary schools, students are stuffed with piles of knowledge under the pressure of fierce competition. Many young people lose their chances to enter college just because of one early failure in a stupid examination. How can they show their true abilities?
    We are lacking in creativity in such an education system.When our high school students amaze people all over the world by their gold medals in IMO (International Math Olympians),the computer companies are laughing that they have found the best programmers. Our students can perfectly do whatever they are told to, but they are not creative. This is a fatal problem in most professions and academic fields, imagination is more important than knowledge.
    Fortunately we have learned the point, and many reforms are being carried out. In most schools, students are actively involved in the class activities. They are allowed to show their own thoughts. In some schools, students can choose lessons they are interested in, which offers them more room for self-development. Some famous universities search for Newton and Einstein in remote mountain areas instead of modern cities. Maybe the geniuses there are more natural.
    Let's wait for Chinese academic stars full of creativity to rise into the starry sky.
    簡(jiǎn) 評(píng)
    中國(guó)人何時(shí)才能拿到諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)?這是全國(guó)人民的心愿,也是青年學(xué)子討論的熱門(mén)話題。作者用同宿舍同學(xué)的談天內(nèi)容開(kāi)頭,自然地引出了本文的議題:為什么有著十二億人口的泱泱大國(guó),竟無(wú)法產(chǎn)生一個(gè)諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)獲得者?隨之展開(kāi)分析,毫不留情地指出:是現(xiàn)行教育體制扼殺了學(xué)生的創(chuàng)造力。隨后用奧數(shù)獲獎(jiǎng)?wù)咧荒茏龀绦騿T的實(shí)例來(lái)說(shuō)明應(yīng)試教育的悲劇性后果。文筆犀利,語(yǔ)言生動(dòng)。
    作者采用提出問(wèn)題,分析問(wèn)題,解決問(wèn)題的思路組織內(nèi)容,缺點(diǎn)在于思維不夠連貫,論證有欠完整深入。作者對(duì)應(yīng)試教育的缺陷只是泛泛而談,沒(méi)有分析其具體表現(xiàn)和深層原因。對(duì)如何扼殺學(xué)生的創(chuàng)造力也沒(méi)有做出說(shuō)明。因此在談及教育體制的改革時(shí),內(nèi)容就與前文缺少呼應(yīng)。思維嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)挠⑽膶?xiě)作對(duì)中國(guó)學(xué)生是一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn),需要在不斷的練習(xí)中提高。
