“我在预习沪教版英语教材时，发现第95页有点小问题。第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在教材上的这个发现反映给上海教育出版社。

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.
据《中国青年报》报道，10月8日，出版社给小崔的妈妈回电：“我们咨询了生物方面的专家，这个确实是弄错了。我们将上报相关部门准备修改”“现在的小孩很厉害，非常专业。”

An editor of the publisher 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”.
当被问到是怎么发现教材有问题时，小崔回应说：“其实也挺简单，蜜蜂有两对翅膀、食蚜蝇只有一对，而且蜜蜂的肚子是胖胖的，食蚜蝇很瘦的。蜜蜂的触角很明显，食蚜蝇的不明显。”

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.”
崔宸溪今年12岁。他的妈妈表示，生物学是小崔从小就最喜欢的一门学科，她提到了几件事：
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；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；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；这次国庆节老师让写作文《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.
不少围观网友纷纷为小崔点赞，同时表示：奖励给孩子两本练习册吧（笑）↓

无独有偶，此前，还有一个#上海一初中生指出历史教科书钱币错误#的话题冲上热搜。

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”。

在他的记忆里，宣和通宝的“宣和”不是北魏孝文帝的年号，他立即上网查了宋徽宗、北魏孝文帝的年号，同时查阅其他古钱币书籍，确认“宣和通宝”是宋徽宗时期所造。
教材责编回应，宣和通宝钱币在孝文帝时期存在过，只是时间很短，将“宣和通宝”这枚古钱币放在孝文帝时期确实有一点不妥。出版社会考虑在修改教材时将这一处图文删掉。
