She was standing in a field. “Hold out your han

27、d. Gentle now,” my grandfather said. Nervously, I did. Stepping toward me, she turned her head to inspect me with one coffee-colored eye. At that moment, I could have known she smiled. This was my first childhood memory, in which I realized that I would soon learn to ride her, and in my heart I felt

28、 like a true Comanche.For days after our first meeting, I sat in the field with my horse. I studied her as she studied me. I learned which grasses she preferred to eat; she would lift her head into the gentle spring wind that often blew across the field.Finally, the time came to ride her. It was a t

29、ribal（部落的）tradition for younger men to spend most of their days hunting. This left the teaching to the elders, like my grandfather. These lessons were extremely important. Every boy was put on a horse before he could walk and was expected to be a skilled rider by age five. When the elders felt a boy

30、 was an expert, he was able to have his own horse.On riding day, I told my horse that we both had much to prove today, and I remembered nuzzling her and kissing her long face. When she nuzzled me back, I knew she understood. I felt the days spent in the field with her had given me a strange belief i

31、n herin us. I encouraged her to move, and with her head held high, she carried me. She was as proud of me as I was of her.We succeeded. The elders of the tribe announced me a skilled horseman. I stood in a circle of men from my tribe. I could feel my heart beating quickly. Then the moment came when

32、my father presented me with my first bow and arrow. I had never before seen so much pride in his eyes.Today my father leads the horse and his grandsonmy son climb upon his own horse in golden sunlight. My father insisted on teaching him to ride and doing it in the way of our people. Proudly, I stepp

33、ed aside to let him do so. I smile, cherishing the details of this moment as much as I have always cherished the memories of my own riding day.The writer and the horse got to know each other when they _. A. ate their meals together招聘電話(huà)聘郵箱：zkzhaopin100Page 4 of 11went for short rides to

36、moriesdelights in the tradition passed downrespects the way their people ride horsesCReward methods are an everyday occurrence in our classrooms. More than ever, a great number of incentive（激勵(lì)）programs have been created to help teachers manage behavior, and motivate learners. However, there is evide

37、nce that in the long run, reward systems dont work.Many people believe that rewards can help students develop a reason to do better. However, this approach fails to address why children are unable to be successful in the first place. When a student who dislikes math frequently behaves badly in class

38、, a simple and easy way to deal with the behavior might be to offer him a reward for not misbehaving. Yet this would do nothing to solve his real problemwhich is his attitude towards math.On the other hand, rewards cant last forever. So what happens when they stop? Many experiments suggest once the

39、rewards stop, people go back to behaving as they did before.Some people might counter that. It may be true that students wont spontaneously（自發(fā)地） work once we stop rewarding them, but at least they will have worked more than they otherwise would have! Unfortunately, there is another more surprising c

40、onsequence of rewards that we need to consider: Rather than create motivation, they can actually decrease motivation.In a classic study, some kindergarteners who enjoyed drawing with markers were observed in a classroom with different activities available. They were broken into two groups. Everyone

41、in the first group was told that he or she could win an attractive certificate by drawing a picture with markers. Each was eager to get the certificate and drew a picture. Children in the second group were also encouraged to draw but didnt get a certificate. After a delay of about two weeks, when th

42、e markers again appeared in the classroom but no certificate was promised, the children in the first group used the markers about half as much as children in the second group. Apparently, rewards actually made them enjoy drawing less.What we really want is for students to take responsibility for the

43、ir own learning. When much of the focus is on performance outcome, it can stop the development of self-motivation. The self-determination theory claims all human beings will succeed when our basic, inborn, and招聘電話(huà)聘郵箱：zkzhaopin100Page 5 of 11emotional needs are met. By providing appropr

44、iate support and opportunities, we can help to meet the needs of all students and therefore increase their motivation.The author mainly argues that _.students should be responsible for their learningincentive programs help to solve real problemsmotivation plays an important role in learningreward me

45、thods for students are ineffectiveThe underlined word “counter” in Paragraph 4 probably means _.A. suspectB. opposeC. detailD. confirmIn Paragraph 5, the author uses the example to show that _.rewards keep interestchildren enjoy awardschildren are changeablerewards reduce motivationThe author persua

Every second takes ages to t

47、ick by. A recent survey of American kids revealed that 91 percent experience boredom. In fact, adolescence is considered a peak period for the problem. One study showed that roughly one in three teenagers was bored at school.Peter Stromberg, professor at the University of Tulsa says, “Our brains ada

48、pt really quickly to certain levels of stimulation （ 刺激 ） . We get used to the media providing levels of highly emotional stimulation, and when were not getting them we feel bored. As our society develops various ways of keeping us entertained, we may discover that rather than getting rid of boredom

49、, were multiplying it.” Luckily, new research is implying a way that we can battle the trend.Professor John D. Eastwood of the University of York developed a new theory of boredom, which links it to the brains attention systemthe part of the brain that we use to focus. Anything the attention system

50、in your brain locks onto will be automatically sucked up into your conscious awarenessit might be a bird outside the window, the pleasant smell of lunch, or even someone sleeping in the back of the class.The problem is that your attention system doesnt like being told what to do. It wants to focus o

51、n stuff that you find fun and interesting. For the parts of school that you enjoy, this isnt a problem. But for those classes that dont interest you, or present too much or too little challenge, the story is very different. In those situations, youre going to have to spend a lot of effort constantly

52、 redirecting your attention system to focus on things it would rather ignore. And the effort is going to wear you out. Eastwood describes it as “wanting, but being unable, to be involved in a satisfying activity.” Its like a block in the system. And its the awareness of that block combined with a se

53、nse that the environment is to blame that leads to feelings of boredom.When were bored we blame the world around us, but Eastwoods theory challenges this assumption: Boredom doesnt exist out there; it exists inside your brain. What that means ishard招聘電話(huà)聘郵箱：zkzhaopin100Page 6 of 11as it

54、 may be to hearboring lessons arent only the fault of your teacher or the subject, theyre your fault too.According to Peter Stromberg, _.teenagers are victims of boredomour brains demand much stimulationweve grown dependent on media for funthe way we have fun makes us become boredAccording to Paragr

57、ment and this often takes the form of questions from the audience. A good deal has been written recentlydiscussing the advantages and disadvantages of various approaches to handling these.71One approach is to take questions as and when they arise. Usually there are only a few points from the audienc

58、e but in the event of receiving too many, the presenter may move the presentationlater.72Those who arent will simply have to wait.73A danger here is that too much time may be wasted on questions and, as aconsequence, important parts of other main points have to be edited out. The audience may also c

59、onfuse the presenter by asking about points that he or she intends to cover later in the presentation. If this happens, it is important to make the audience aware that answering their questions now might weaken the structure of the talk.Alternatively, mid-point questions can be discouraged by signal

60、ing that you would prefer questions at the end. If you take this approach, however, it is important to bear in mind that when you get to the end, it may take a little time for people to reflect on what they have heard and toformulate a question.74To overcome this, it is useful to have a chairperson
