12歲男孩給英語教材糾錯,出版社:確實錯了!現(xiàn)在的孩子太厲害了……

A teenager in Shenyang, Northeast China's Liaoning province, reported a mistake in a textbook to its publisher, pointing out a mix-up of two insects in one of its illustrations. His correction won praises from netizens.
“I noticed a tiny mistake on page 95 of the English textbook published by Shanghai Educational Publishing House when I was preparing lessons before class,” said Cui Chenxi, a 7th grader in Shenyang No. 126 Middle School. Cui had found an illustration captioned as “bee” to actually be hoverfly in the picture.
An editor of the publisher on Friday confirmed the error they made after consulting a biology teacher and said it will rectify the mistake by replacing the wrong picture in a reprinted version after it gets approval from the Ministry of Education.
The editor also thanked the 12-year-old boy for reporting the error, and praised him for being “really professional”.
When asked how he discovered the mistake Cui said, “It's simple. Bees have two pairs of wings while hoverflies have only one pair of functional wings and bees are plump with their round belly versus the hoverfly's slim figure. What's more, bees have distinct tentacles while those of hoverflies are obscure.”

As a young man who took an avid interest in biology, Cui had raised 10 types of ants in his primary school days in order to observe the insects' habits and their division of labor, according to Cui's mother.
The family stores more than 300 titles of books related to natural science and Cui has a bookshelf of his own. Having not attended a single one of the extracurricular training classes which parents are keen to put their kids in, the boy is happy to learn independently.
Many net users expressed their appreciation of Cui's devotion to science and commented that it's only with passion that one can reach higher achievement.
初中生指出歷史教科書錯誤

據(jù)了解,上海初中生顧則行翻看《中國歷史地圖冊》(第一冊)第41頁時,看到引用了兩枚古錢幣照片,文字標注為“北魏孝文帝時期的銅錢太和五銖和宣和通寶”。
在他的記憶里,宣和通寶的“宣和”不是北魏孝文帝的年號,他立即上網(wǎng)查了宋徽宗、北魏孝文帝的年號,同時查閱其他古錢幣書籍,確認“宣和通寶”是宋徽宗時期所造。
