Insuch a world, persuasion is the art of getting others to give fair andfavorable consideration to our point of view. When we persuade, we want toinfluence how others believe and behave. We may not always prevail ---otherpoints of view may be more persuasive, depending on the listener, thesituation, and the merits of the case. But when we practice the art ofpersuasion, we try to ensure that our position receives the attention itdeserves.
Somepeople, however, object to the very idea of persuasion. They may regard it asan unwelcome intrusion into their lives or as a manipulation or domination. Incontrast, we believe that persuasion is inevitable---to live is to persuade.Persuasion may be ethical or unethical, selfless or selfish, inspiring ordegrading.

Such persuasion can help us apply the wisdomof the past to the decisions we now must make. Therefore, an essential part ofeducation is learning to resist the one kind of persuasion and to encourage andpractice the other.

This is not always the case, however, at times, art may beseen to have purely functional side as well. Such could be said of the sandpaintings of the Navaho Indians of the American Southwest; these have amedicinal as well as an artistic purpose.
According to Navaho traditions, one who suffers from either a mental orphysical illness has in some way disturbed or come in contact with thesupernatural—perhaps a certain animal, a ghost, or the dead. To counteract thisevil contact, the sick person or one of his relatives will attract a powerfulsupernatural being. During the ceremony, which may last from 2to 9days, the“singer” will produce a sand painting on the floor of the Navaho house. On thelast day of the ceremony, the patient will sit on this sand painting and the“singer” will rub the sick parts of the patient’s body with sand from aspecific figure in the sand painting. In this way the patient absorbs the powerof that particular supernatural being and becomes strong like it. After theceremony, the sand painting is then destroyed and disposed of so its power willnot harm anyone.
Theart of sand painting is handed down from old “singers” to their students. Thematerials used are easily found in the areas the Navaho inhabit: brown, red,yellow, and white sandstone, which is ground into powder by being crushedbetween two stones much as corn is ground into flour. The “singer” holds asmall amount of this sand in his hand and lets it flow between his thumb andforefinger onto a clean, flat surface on the floor. With a steady hand andgreat patience, he is thus able to create designs of people, snakes and othercreatures that have power in the Navaho belief system.

A).functional
B).medicinal
C).artistic
D).pure
27.According to the Navaho traditions,one is ill because he has met with _____.
A).something with supernatural powers

28. How can a sick person recover fromhis illness according to the passage?
A).He must avoid the evil contact.
B).He needs help from another powerful supernatural being.
C).He must draw a sand painting.
D).He must sing at a ceremony.
29. The reason for the sand painting tobe destroyed after the ceremony is _____.

Passage Two(2016年6月英语四级卷2真题及答案)
Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.
The most important thing in the news last week was the rising discussion in Nashville about the educational needs of children. The shorthand(简写)educators use for this is "pre-K"—meaning instruction before kindergarten—and the big idea is to prepare 4-year-olds and even younger kids to be ready to succeed on their K-12 journey.
But it gets complicated. The concept has multiple forms, and scholars and policymakers argue about the shape, scope and cost of the ideal program.
The federal Head Start program, launched 50 years ago, has served more than 30 million children. It was based on concepts developed at Vanderbilt University's Peabody College by Susan Gray, the legendary pioneer in early childhood education research.
A new Peabody study of the Tennessee Voluntary Pre-K program reports that pre-K works, but the gains are not sustained through the third grade. It seems to me this highlights quality issues in elementary schools more than pre-K, and indicates longer-term success must connect pre-K with all the other issues, related to educating a child.
Pre-K is controversial. Some critics say it is a luxury and shouldn't be free to families able to pay. Pre-K advocates insist it is proven and will succeed if integrated with the rest of the child's schooling. I lean toward the latter view.
This is, in any case, the right conversation to be having now as Mayor Megan Barry takes office. She was the first candidate to speak out for strong pre-K programming. The important thing is for all of us to keep in mind the real goal and the longer, bigger picture.
The weight of the evidence is on the side of pre-K that early intervention (干预)works. What government has not yet found is the political will to put that understanding into full practice with a sequence of smart schooling that provides the early foundation.
For this purpose, our schools need both the talent and the organization to educate each child who arrives at the schoolhouse door. Some show up ready, but many do not at this critical time when young brains are developing rapidly.
52.What does the author say about pre-kindergarten education?
A.It should cater to the needs of individual children.
B.It is essential to a person's future academic success.
C.Scholars and policymakers have different opinions about it.
D.Parents regard it as the first phase of children's development.
53.What does the new Peabody study find?
A.Pre-K achievements usually do not last long.
B.The third grade marks a new phase of learning.
C.The third grade is critical to children's development.
D.Quality has not been the top concern of pre-K programs.
54.When does the author think pre-K works the best?
A.When it is accessible to kids of all families.
B.When it is made part of kids' education.
C.When it is no longer considered a luxury.
D.When it is made fun and enjoyable to kids.
55.What do we learn about Mayor Megan Barry?
A.She knows the real goal of education.
B.She is a mayor of insight and vision.
C.She has once run a pre-K program.
D.She is a firm supporter of pre-K.
56.What does the author think is critical to kids' education?
A.Teaching method.
B.Kids' interest.
C.Early intervention.
D.Parents' involvement.
