问题     Guo Xue, or the studies of Chinese ancient civilization, including philosophy, history, archaeology, literature, linguistics, etc, is thought to be the cure for the moral decline in the modem Chinese society. That is why some experts suggest the Chinese ancient classic literature, such as the Three-Character Classic and the Book of Rites, should be incorporated into the national curriculum as a compulsory course. What is your opinion? Do you think the Chinese classic literature is the possible answers to today’s moral problems? Write an essay of about 400 words. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay.

答案 In Books We Find Morality? It is an instructive approach to integrate the teaching of ancient books into the national curriculum. Nevertheless, it is not the ultimate solution to our existing moral decline. In fact, I don’t think there is any simple or straightforward answer to such issue that results from years of accumulated wrongs. To begin with, ancient classics are only a formalistic method that beats around the bush. With the spoon-feeding teaching methodology, students might only be able to grasp the literal meaning of ancient classics but not their cultural and moral significance. Besides, when a course is stipulated as compulsory, examinations are absolutely inescapable. To live up to the score-oriented expectations of teachers and parents, students will be too engaged in memorizing lines word for word to digest their connotations, which takes us back to square one—our twisted purpose of education. Furthermore, the fundamental solution to the twisted education in China lies in educators themselves. One of the chief causes of today’s moral problems is the fact that teachers are busy imparting knowledge to students without educating them in terms of moral conducts. By confusing the means of education with the end, we have produced morally-decayed talents. Educators should regard ancient classics as a teaching aid to guide students through history to present-day stories. An emphasis should be placed not only upon students’ understanding of the scripts, but more importantly on how they incorporate their learning into everyday behaviors. In this case, teachers act as a role model as well as a guide in leading students onto the right path of life. Finally, it is no doubt that we can find all sorts of moral standards in these ancient classics, but does reciting all the classics necessarily produce a saint? As we all know, young children learn about the world by watching and following the behaviors of those around them, rather than following the fictional character in the books they read. A good deed in real life is worth millions of moral teaching in the paper. The making of a righteous man starts from family upbringing. In order to make a convincing case, parents should set an example for children by their own actions. Little by little, children’s values, beliefs and conducts will be imperceptibly influenced and internalized. As the essence of our five thousand years of history and culture, ancient classics should take up an indispensable part in our education. But we should keep in mind that they are the source of knowledge and means of teaching, but never the absolute answer to today’s moral problems.
