“我在预习沪教版英语教材时，发现95页有点小问题。95页上有3张小昆虫的照片，按英文的说明分别应该是蝴蝶、蚂蚁和蜜蜂。但是图片上却是蝴蝶、蚂蚁和食蚜蝇……”

      近日，沈阳市126中学7年级学生崔宸溪把自己的发现反映给了上海教育出版社。

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.”

❶小学时，他自己在家里养过10多种蚂蚁，观察他们的习性、种群内的分工等；

❷家里自然科学方面的书有300多本，他自己就有一个专门的书架；

❸小崔独立学习的能力很强，从没有参加过课外培训机构的学习；

❹这次国庆节老师让写个作文《这就是母亲》，结果他写的是昆虫如何保护自己的卵。

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.

初中生指出历史教科书错误

据了解，上海初中生顾则行翻看《中国历史地图册》（第一册）第41页时，看到引用了两枚古钱币照片，文字标注为“北魏孝文帝时期的铜钱太和五铢和宣和通宝”。
