问题     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 and how to encourage a child to write without holding hiw 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 piece of writing about a personal experience: "This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is not neat."  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 expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors. But if his priorities had centred on the child’s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the writing would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement."
The passage is mainly concerned with ______.
选项 A、the importance of teachers
B、the way of writing an essay
C、the problem of students’ spelling errors
D、the importance of the dictionary use
答案C
解析 主旨大意题。本题询问这篇文章主要是关于什么内容的。本文主要讲了学生的拼写问题，包括家长对拼写问题的看法、老师只关注学生拼写错误所导致的后果等，故选项C为正确答案。选项A(老师的重要性)和选项B(如何写文章)在文中没有涉及，故不选。使用字典的重要性虽在第二段最后一句有所涉及，但不是文章的主要内容，故选项D(使用字典的重要性)不正确。
