问题    几亿孩子科学素养让人忧心
   当前基础教育中存在过分重视知识灌输,忽视少年儿童科学素养教育,且有愈演愈烈倾向,引起了一些两院院士的关注和担忧。
   电子科技大学原校长刘盛纲院士讲了自己孙女的经历,感慨道:“现在中国小孩子没有童年了。”一次,这位科学家带领孙女逛街,告诉她要什么都可以买。得到的回答令他心酸:“爷爷奶奶,我现在想要睡觉。”
   孙女还告诉爷爷:住校生中,在半夜有的躲在厕所里看书,有的则拿着手电筒躲在被窝里看书。
   刘盛纲催促家人向学校反映这些情况后,得到的答复更让他无奈。老师回答:“如果我给了她童年,她就没有成年了——考不上大学怎么办?”
   “小孩子没有童年,身心发育都受影响,哪来创造力呢?”刘盛纲说。
   著名物理学家、南开大学教授葛墨林院士回忆说,自己物理知识的启蒙,就是小时候读的介绍大科学家爱迪生的小书。他说上小学的时候,常常跟着老师同学打橄榄球、游泳,快乐得不想回家。他说:“我觉得素质教育在中国不是什么新鲜事物,素质教育本身就是学生自愿的行为,要能够吸引小孩的天性。”
   而如今,学校为孩子们提供了各种付费的辅导,家长还要求他们学钢琴、学画画、背京戏、背古文。
   与此同时,他们在西方的同龄人,有的3岁就能设计小船模型。一位院士批评说:“人家的创新人才是教育制度成批培养的,我们的创新人才是教育压不垮‘漏网’的。”
   韦钰院士认为,当务之急是恢复小学一年级的科学课,这样至少可以连续地对5岁至12岁的儿童进行科学教育。
   小学科学课以前是“常识”课,后来改为“自然”课,均从一年级开始。新课改将其改为“科学”后,延迟到三年级开课。院士们呼吁这一改革值得重新审视。
   对于正在开展的小学科学教育国家标准修订工作,韦钰在南开大学向同行坦承自己感到“战战兢兢”:“我们几亿孩子将来的科学素质,不是开玩笑的事儿。”

选项

答案 Kid’s Lack of Science Cultivation Worries Everyone Increasingly excessive emphasis on imparting knowledge to the neglect of fostering science sense has caused concerns and worries among science and engineering academicians in China. Academician Liu Shenggang, former president of the Electronic Science University, related his granddaughter’s experience and laments: "Gone is the childhood for kids in China!" One day, the scientist went shopping with her granddaughter and told her that she might buy whatever she wanted. The reply made him sad, "Grandpa and grandma, what I want now is nothing but sleep. " The granddaughter told her grandpa that some boarders read books in the restroom at night and some others read books hidden away in the quilts under the dim light provided by a flashlight. Mr. Liu urged his son to complain to the school authorities and the reply made him even sadder. One teacher said, "If I gave her a childhood, that would mean it would deprive her of an adulthood — What will happen to her if she fails the college entrance examination?" "A child deprived of childhood could develop poorly both physically and psychologically. Where could he find his source of innovation?" Liu concluded. Academician Ge Mulin, a well-known physicist and professor of Nankai University, recalled that he had acquired his rudimental physics knowledge from a picture book introducing the great scientist Edison. And he, as a child, always played American football and went swimming together with his teachers and fellow students. He enjoyed these extracurricular activities so much that he always forgot to return home. "I believe," he said, "fostering a refined quality is nothing new in China. Quality education itself is a student’s willing act. The key to its success is to play up to the kid’s instinct. " However, schools now offer many for-profit courses for kids as part of after-class training. Parents on the other hand urge their kids to learn the piano, drawings, Peking Opera or classical Chinese after class. Some of their contemporaries in the West, on the contrary, can already design a small model boat at the age of 3. An academician criticized, "They train talents by the batch under their educational system while our talents imbued with creativity are a few survivors of our educational system. " Academician Wei Yu suggested that the pressing task at present is to restore the science course to the first-year primary school students. It can at least guarantee that the students receive science education continuously between ages 5-12. The science course for primary schools was formerly called common knowledge, and then changed to nature, both starting from the first year in primary school. When the course structure reform changed the name of the course into science, it was offered as late as the third year of primary school. Academicians call for reexamination of this reform. Referring to the revising of the state standards for science education for primary schools now in process, Wei Yu admitted frankly that she was very serious about it. " It concerns the science cultivation of our hundreds of millions of kids. It’s no joke. "
