12、 world of entertainment. Stories go all the way from the technical to the romantic, from stage to screen. There will be reports of the stars of the moment, the stars of the future and the stars of the past. The director with his new film, the designer with the latest fashion, and the musician with t
13、he popular song are part of the new Outlook. The program is introduced by Fran Levine.9:00 PM Discovery When a 10-year-old boy gets a first class degree in mathematics or an 8-year-old boy plays chess like a future grand master, they are considered as geniuses. Where does the quality of genius come
14、from? Is it all in the genes(基因) or can any child be turned into a genius? And if parents do have a child who might become a genius in the future, what should they do? In this 30-minute film, Barry Johnson, the professor at School of Medicine, New York University, will help you discover the answer.1
15、0:00 PMScience/Health Is it possible to beat high blood pressure without drugs? The answer is“yes”, according to the researchers at Johns Hopkins and three other medical centers. After a study of 800 persons with high blood pressure, they found that after 6 months, those devoted to weight loss-exerc
16、ise and eating a low-salt, low-fat food lost about 13 pounds and became fitter. Plus, 35% of them dropped into the“normal” category(范畴). This week, Dr Alan Duckworth will tell you how these people reduce their blood pressure to a level similar to whats achieved with hypertension drugs.21. The main p

19、ercise plus a healthy diet. B. Loss of thirteen pounds in weight.C. Six months of exercise without drugs. D. Low-salt and low-fat food. B Students should be able to show what they know. Many folks take this as a self-evident truth. But I think it demands closer examination.Possessing a skill or piec
20、e of knowledge is not the same thing as being able to show it. This is why many smart young people hate school. Understanding, figuring out, and getting a handle on a piece of knowledge is really exciting, but having to prove to somebody else that you understand is a big fat pain in the neck.Finding
21、 proof of student learning is a huge part of the teachers job, and whether it is done poorly or not makes all the difference in that teachers effectiveness. There is a huge difference between“How do I figure out if this student understands” and“How do I make this student prove to me he gets it.” The
22、 first is a valuable approach; the second is the first step on the road toward wasting everybodys time.And theres the problem. If we start with the assumption (假定) that a student who knows must be able to show his knowledge to our satisfaction, we will be traveling down the wrong road. The more we d
23、emand that students prove to us that they know the stuff, the more we will design artificial tasks that demand a set of skills and knowledge entirely different from the skills and knowledge we really want to measure.As a classroom teacher, I have to remember that the burden is on me to find a way to
24、 see what my students know; the burden is not on them to put on whatever trained monkey show I design for my own ease and convenience.It may not be the worst thing ever to say“Students should be able to show what they know.” But I think its far more useful to say, Teachers should be able to discover
25、 what students know.24. What does the underlined phrase in the second paragraph mean?A. Very dangerous. B. Very annoying.C. Very difficult. D. Very frequent.25. What does the author think of the artificial tasks designed to test students learning?A. They should be limited in number.B. They are a hug
26、e burden on teachers.C. They should mainly focus on effectiveness.D. They slide away from their original purpose.26. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Students should be able to show what they know.B. There are many ways to find proof of student learning.C. Teachers should be able to discover
27、what students know.D. There should be better understanding between teachers and students. CWhen we winded our way through the first major rapid with rocks perilously close on either side, I thought it was time to get to know the captain whose boat we had hired.Xiang Kaen Chan greeted me in a friendl
28、y fashion but didnt look up when I entered his cabin. In fact, he rarely took his eyes from the water during our conversation. He explained that on a stretch of river, where there are no navigational aids or markers and where the channels can change after heavy rain,“The most important thing is to w
29、atch the water and know how to avoid the submerged( under the surface of the sea, etc.), rocks and sandbars(sandbank at the mouth of a river or harbour). You must read this river all the time.”I tried to look for the churnings (搅拌) and dips in the water that indicated an obstacle just below the surf
30、ace. Yet he headed for parts of the river I would have avoided, and avoided parts I would have chosen. It seemed like terribly difficult detective work. Still Xiang had a lot of experience on this part of the Mekong. He began his apprenticeship(学徒) thirty-nine years ago. When he was seventeen, he us
31、ed to help load and unload cargo(goods), look after the engine and help the captain. Gradually, he got to know the river. He became a captain 1962.“Ive only had two accidents,” he said.“The first was in 1975 when I hit a sandbar. But we were able to push the boat off without damage or loss. The seco
32、nd was more serious. I hit a rock. We lost the boat but managed to get the passengers and the engine off.”Salvaging as much as you can is very important when you dont have insurance. Replacing a river boat like his would be expensive-about 38,000 including the Japanese engine. Accidents are common. We saw several wrecks(ship that has been destroyed or badly damaged, esp. in a storm) on our journey to Luang Prabang.
