问题    Read the following paragraphs in which five people talked about education. For questions 61 to 65, match the name of each speaker (61 to 65) to one of the statements ( A to G) given below. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET 1.
Samuel:
   The criticism that what students learn today is not fit for modern society is completely wrong because education can never be judged only from the point of view of how useful the subjects are when students leave school. We ought to evaluate education in terms of how much the students enjoy those subjects and how much they mean to those students. Rather than being trained to be practical, students should be encouraged  to do things for their own sake, and study what they are interested in.
Matthew:
   Many people give out proposals of how to improve education and some suggest raising the salaries of teachers mid professors. Of course ,this is significant to education. However, increasing the salary of teachers is just one method to improve education. It won’t be effective without the cooperation of the other important factors, such as students’ love of knowledge and reading. Even if the teachers are devoted, it will make no sense if the students are not willing to learn.
Cheney:
   I think it’s a great disgrace people don’t learn anything today. You find people who can’t read properly, can’t even write their names and don’t know what two and two is without the help of a calculator. I think it’s downright shameful. I remember when I was young you went to school to learn. You did as you were told and showed respect to your teachers. Now you find that students show no interest in anything. No wonder they don’t learn anything.
Aimee:
   Well, people have different opinions on this, but I think it is probably wrong to imagine that there was some golden age in the past when everything was perfect. It all depends, of course, on what you evaluate and how you evaluate it. It may surprise some people that there has not been an obvious and remarkable increase in the standard of education, considering the vast amounts of money spent in this area by successive governments in recent years. But unfortunately, most improvements in education are hard to measure.
Jackson:
   Well, in my opinion, it’s all these modern methods that are the problem. In the old days you sat in rows at desks and you did as you were told. You knew that you had to do and you did it — and you kept quiet. Nowadays, good god, the noise in most schools is unbearable especially primary schools. The children walk around — do more or less what they want to as far as I can see. The teacher just sits there or wanders around  with them, talking to them. Informal teaching they call it. Discover methods. Sounds more like a recipe for discovering disaster to me.
   Now match each of the persons (61 to 65 ) to the appropriate statement.
   Note: there are two extra statements.
                                  Statements
[A] Education is developing gradually.
[B] Students should get what they need or want from education.
[C] Education standards are higher than in tile past.
[D] Education covers both teaching and learning.
[E] Many students are spoilt by our present-day education system.
[F] Schools should lay emphasis on practical skills.
[G] Educational standards are on the decline.
