Lets talk at lunch.” During math, I tried to think of how Id tell Tina that I wanted to do my ow
21、n act. At lunch, Tina started talking as soon as we sat down. “I have it all planned out.

The students play a role in developing solutions to the problems of their assigned (指定的) country. The g
28、oal of the game is to save each country from dangerous conditions. When all 50 problems are solved, the game is over, which means the world is in peace.

29、unters students, agrees. “Sometimes the World Peace Game feels like, you know, the weight of the world on your shoulders: This is firing over there and this is a big earthquake,” she says. “But I say to myself, I need to fix this.” The game shows that young children have the desire to make the world
30、 a better, more peaceful place. The game encourages students to work together and communicate with one another. Students think about questions that have no clear answers, which often leads to long discussions. They consider deep questions in the process and think about the possible results of their
31、decisions. They try to develop creative solutions that lead to a satisfactory decision. It is no surprise that both Hunter and the World Peace Game are becoming well known.

35、his game. C. John Hunter limits this game to students in his school. D. This game helps students easily become leaders in the future. D Kids go to school to learn plenty of subjects. Finally, education prepares kids to have a meaningful career (职业) in a field they enjoy. So thinking and learning abo
36、ut career choices before high school is always a good idea. But when should kids begin career education? When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? A teacher? A doctor? Or a baseball player? Preschool-aged children naturally think about their future careers. By imagining, explori
37、ng and role-playing, kids are likely to choose careers that interest them. Encouraging this career role-playing is healthy and can be quite telling; kids often clearly prefer either left-brained or right-brained roles. At some point beyond the role-playing stage, students should be shown to a more s
38、erious career education curriculum (课程). You may think that career education isnt all that necessary until kids finish high school, because thats when theyre usually expected to get a job or choose a course of study in college. Experts (专家) disagree. “The influence of early involvement can have a hu
39、gely good effect on wider academic (学术的) achievements, helping both children and their families to see a future which is achievable,” writes Robert Halfon, chair of the Education Select Committee in the UK. Many experts accept the idea that career education should begin at a young age. They suggest
40、career education in school should progress as follows: 1Kids in primary school should learn about why people work. Kids in early middle school should learn about the importance of a career in earning money. Kids in grades seven through ten should begin to discuss and think about different jobs. Kids
41、 in grades ten and beyond should discover their strengths and interests, recognize suitable careers, and become involved in specific activities to help them understand what they need to work on to do their dream career. Starting career education early prepares students for the real world by making t
42、he connection between what theyre learning in school and why theyre learning it. For example, if a child wants to build tall buildings and knows that math skills are necessary in such a career, the child will be more likely to study, rather than hate, math. Career education opens kids minds to all t
43、hat is possible. And, at the end of the day, isnt that what parents and teachers want for their kids and students? 30. What can we learn from Paragraph 2? A.

44、velop their interests. D. Its normal for kids to think about their future careers. 31. Experts suggest that career education in school should _.
