初中的日子

谢谢楼上捧场的家长。

现在报班太贵，一个班动辄一个学期两三千，要是三个奥数班一年下来就要2-3万，很多孩子还是从小学一二年级就开始学。如果一直跟着学并参加各类比赛，孩子的应试能力肯定比没学的强。

在姐姐的强烈推荐下，昨天我们去看了纪录片《海洋》。果然，鲸鱼拍摄的太美了！画面很震撼。

今天的两节语文课给孩子印象很深，都是讲古代典籍和传统文化，老师说要教他们吟诵古诗词和古文。

今天学校让孩子自己挑选选修课，有几个选修必修课，还有选修课，儿子只选了一个选修必修课——成龙电影精选欣赏，另外的课外活动选修课都没选，问他为啥，他说，那些课都要钱的！

昨天语文摸底测验儿子只得了59.5分，低于平均分。古诗词扣掉21分，可见中文下的功夫太少了，但愿初中阶段他不仅要读四书五经，也将笠翁对韵和唐诗宋词补上。

英语课演讲，老师让讲自己的家庭，儿子又是一个人滔滔不绝讲了30多分钟，主要是大讲特讲家庭成员——他的两只仓鼠。其他同学都不愿意上台讲。

最近，他又拿起以前买的《少年哲学启示录》看，我很想找这本书的英文音频或原书，一直没有找到，这是亚马逊的页面。

这本新版的书真不贵啊，是1和2合集，估计字会小一点，可惜运费太贵了。

卓越也有贵了点，等打折的时候再买吧。

Amazon.co.uk Review
If the thought of a book about philosophy for kids turns your stomach, think again. This superb book, written by Stephen Law, a young philosophy lecturer from Oxford, is filled with an awe-inspiring enthusiasm for thinking and arguing some of the biggest questions.

From "Should I eat meat?" to "How Do I Know The World Isn't Virtual?" and the Big One: "Does God Exist?", each question is dealt with in a thoroughly modern manner that brings in the teachings of famous philosophers alongside broad philosophical arguments that are as entertaining as they are challenging.

Stephen Law has certainly hit the spot with this energetic interpretation of philosophical ideas, cleverly clearing the floor for discussion between children, and opening up conversation between children and adults.

The Philosophy Files takes an innovative step into the children's book genre with a soul-searching, thought-provoking look at the philosophical questions that shroud our everyday lives. If you ever thought that philosophy for kids would be a turn off, check this out, sit back and enjoy the ensuing debate. (Ages 9 and over) --Susan Harrison --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Review
'a jargon-free, entertaining, uncomplicated approach to philosophy which makes no assumptions and encourages original thinking.' (Bridget Carrington WRITE AWAY! )

'Law is very good at dramatising philosophical problems so that children get to understand them as choices confronting them, rather than abstract questions... Highly recommended.' (Dina Rabinovitch THE GUARDIAN )

'poses challenging questions to children about life and the universe.' (IRISH EXAMINER )

Product Description
Is there a God, should I eat meat, where does the universe come from, could I live for ever as a robot? These are the big questions readers will be wrestling with in this thoroughly enjoyable book. Dip into any chapter and you will find lively scenarios and dialogues to take you through philosophical puzzles ancient and modern, involving virtual reality, science fiction and a host of characters from this and other planets. The text is interspersed on every page with lively cartoons, and there is a list of philosophical jargon at the end.. Stephen Law has a gift for communicating complex ideas. He offers few answers, but his unstuffy, highly personal approach will have the reader thinking and arguing with as much pleasure as he does himself.
From the Publisher
Reviews for The Philosophy Files
"Stephen Law's approach can be summoned up as less reverence, more relevance. This is no grand tour of the history of philosophy and its great thinkers. Indeed, fewer than half-a-dozen philosophers get a name check. Instead, Law goes straight for what is really important - the arguments themselves... It is much more of a genuine introduction to philosophy than the seemingly more serious efforts of writers such as Jostein Gaarder (Sophie's World) and Alain de Botton." TIMES EDUCATIONAL SUPPLEMENT, 12 MAY 2000

"This is a book written to be enjoyed. And as a result readers will learn more than they would from any kind of text book. And who are the readers? If you can read Harry Potter you can cope with the language, complexity and twists of this book. It should be left on the bed of anyone, from 7 to 90, who shows signs of interest in philosophical questions. Actually, give it to everyone, just in case." DR JONATHAN WOLFF, UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON, reviewing for www.thegoodwebguide.co.uk

"A great way to discover a taste for philosophy and also to think about your surroundings in new and intriguing ways." www.schoolsnet.com

"...fresh and different... Guaranteed to start a few debates." T2, THE DAILY TELEGRAPH, 6 MAY 2000 --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

在卓越订购了
The Complete Philosophy Files与Homer Price 。

英语老师让儿子准备一个题目给大家讨论，儿子正在看《少年哲学奇思录》，英文原版还在预定中，儿子写了几页大纲，我大致看了一下，还不错，他接受了我的意见，采用“Should I eat meat？”这一话题。

继续听宝儿的初中，要坚持写啊

xxbzh

学校学的是自编教材，发了人教版7年级的书参考。

昨天老师教他们吟诵了，宝儿说，吟诵不好的孩子，老师借了我的尺子假装是戒尺，假装打他们，他们假装哇哇叫。我问，你挨打了吗？他说没有。

学校规定的奥数班必须上，所以，我打算将机器人课转到附近的市少年宫，这样上午奥数，下午机器人。

上周末去市少年宫试听，到现在，街道、朝阳、东城和市少年宫的机器人班我们都考察过了，幸亏有同学在这里才能引荐，不然很难转进来，宝儿本来不愿意转，一走进大院，立即说愿意了。这里的大环境实在太好了，头一天上课就看见了小刺猬和啄木鸟，下了课还去公园玩了很久，不用门票，走后门。

xxbzh

新学期开始，语文老师让孩子们做的PPT也多了，前天，宝儿非要做了一个《施氏食狮史》，这个段子他从姐姐那里拷过来早已经读熟。打算上课给同学讲。他还拷贝了老师做的PPT，说要学。

施氏食狮史
求助编辑百科名片

《施氏食狮史》是一篇由赵元任所写的设限文章。全文共九十二字，每字的普通话发音都是shi。这篇文言作品在阅读时并没有问题，但当用普通话朗读或者拉丁化作品时，问题便出现了。这是古文同音字多的缘故。 赵元任先生的《施氏食狮史》写于1930年，限制性地使用一组同一读音但字形不同的汉字来行文，借以说明汉字及汉语书面语的功能——以形表意。这段短文只能用书面语才说得清楚，口语无法直接准确表述这段同音语句的意思。



简介
　　赵元任是近代常州人士，住在青果巷。30年代，时人有崇洋媚外者，短浅以为外国的一切都优于中国，呼吁说汉字应更改用拉丁字母代替，赵先生愤而作2篇时文请已试之发声，时人阅之瞠目结舌，无话可说。《施氏食狮史》就是其中的一篇。
　　很多人认为赵元任是希望通过本篇，引证中文拉丁化所带来的荒谬。但是支持拉丁化的人却指出赵元任乃是国语罗马字的主要设计者，他只是举例说明拉丁化只适合于白话文，不适合于文言文。

原文
　　石室诗士施氏，嗜狮，誓食十狮。适施氏时时适市视狮。十时，适十狮适市。是时，适施氏适市。氏视是十狮，恃矢势，使是十狮逝世。氏拾是十狮尸，适石室。石室湿，氏使侍拭石室。石室拭，氏始试食是十狮尸。食时，始识是十狮尸，实十石狮尸。试释是事。

真好，孩子没读过，准备让她也读读，应该喜欢，从网上还找到类似的。如：
《季姬击鸡记》
  季姬寂，集鸡，鸡即棘鸡。棘鸡饥叽，季姬及箕稷济鸡。鸡既济，跻姬笈，季姬忌，急咭鸡，鸡急，继圾几，季姬急，即籍箕击鸡，箕疾击几伎，伎即齑，鸡叽集几基，季姬急极屐击鸡，鸡既殛，季姬激，即记《季姬击鸡记》。

《施氏食狮史》经我家儿子翻译如下：
A hermit named Shi lived in a stone house. He liked lion. He sweared he would eat ten lions. He often went to a market to watch lions. At ten o’clock, ten lions appeared at the market. At that time, Shi appeared too. He saw the lions and used a bow and an arrow and shot it down. He carried the lion’s body to his house. When he arrived home, he found that the house was wet. He ordered his servant to clean up the room, and when the room was cleaned, Shi began to eat the lion’s body. While he was eating, he thought that he was eating ten lion’s body. But the truth was, the lions were made of stone.  Please explain why it happened.
