Yet Im torn between my responsibility to help Alice and the knowledge that what I have to say is a truth Im not sure this mother is ready to hear.The truth for this parent and so many others is this: Her child has sacrificed her natural curiosity and love of learning at the altar(圣壇) of achievement, and its our fault. Alices parents, her teachers, society at largewe are all supposed to be blamed in this crime against learning. From her first day of school, we pointed her toward that altar and trained her to measure her progress by means of points, scores, and awards.We taught Alice that her potential is tied to her intellect(智力), and that her intellect is more important than her character. We taught her to e home proudly bearing grade As, championship prizes, and college acceptance, and not on purpose, we taught her that we dont really care how she obtains them. We taught her to protect her academic and extracurricular perfection at all costs and that its better to quit when things get challenging rather than risk losing that perfect record. Above all else, we taught her to fear failure. That fear is what has destroyed her love of learning.【解題導(dǎo)語】本文通過Alice的例子說明了父母、老師和社會(huì)有時(shí)會(huì)扼殺孩子的好奇心和對(duì)學(xué)習(xí)的熱愛。12Both the mother and the author have noticed that_AAlice hates to tell them the truthBAlices test scores are not so goodCAlice chooses several subjects to learnDAlice doesnt enjoy studying any moreD解析：細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段中的“but she just doesnt seem to love learning any more”和第二段中的“Id noticed the same thing about her daughter”可知，Alice的媽媽和作者都注意到了Alice 不再喜歡學(xué)習(xí)。13What does the underlined word “torn” mean in the passage?APained to choose.
