Passage 3
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, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority（优先）it must be give over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with his 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 sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience:"This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible（难以辨认的）."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 centered on the child's ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.

Passage 4
Salt is necessary to life as water. In many areas of Mrica people once drank the urine（尿）of animals because they had no other source of salt. Without salt, human being die.
The human body demands that the amount of salt in the blood always stay the same. When the body does not get enough salt, it protect itself by letting less salt leave the body in urine and sweat. But it cannot reduce this output to zero. Some salt is always escaping. On a completely saltless diet, like that of some people in Africa, the body steadily loses small amounts of salt though the kidney（肾）and sweat glands（腺）. It then tries to adjust to this loss by speeding up its secretion（分泌）of water. In this way, the body attempts to keep the amount of salt in the blood at the necessary level. The result is a slow drying up of body and, finally, death. The person dies of thirst.
