12、orld 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 the

13、 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 fr

14、om? 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.10:

15、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-exerci

16、se 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).

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.” T

22、he 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

23、 demand 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

24、to 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 disco

27、er 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 frie

28、ndly 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

29、to watch 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

30、surface. 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, h

31、e used 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

32、 second 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 com

33、mon. We saw several wrecks(ship that has been destroyed or badly damaged, esp. in a storm) on our journey to Luang Prabang.“To avoid disaster”, Xiang said, “a river captain needed spiritual guidance as well as human skill.”A framed colour photograph of a Buddhist（佛）monk in saffron（藏红色）robes(长袍) was

34、pinned to one wall of the cabin “this monk is a wise and holy man,” he said. “I have visited him three times in his temple in Burma. Now I think he helps to guide me on the right course.” On the other wall was small altar (table or raised flat-topped platform on which offerings are made to a god) wi

35、th joss-sticks (thin stick that burns slowly and produces a pleasant smell, used esp. in religious ceremonies), balls of sticky rice, and a number of holy objects. “These are offerings to the spirit of the boat and the spirit of the river,” Xiang said, “They, too, have helped me to escape a fatal ac

36、cident.”A kind of insurance, I thought, as we passed harmlessly through another set of rapids.27The word closes in meaning to “perilously” as it is used in the passage is _.Asimply Bhappily Ccarelessly Ddangerously28When the captain said he had to “read this river all the time”, he meant that he had

37、 to_.Astudy the movement of the water Btake advice from wise peopleCknow where the old channels were Dfollow his maps closely29The captains confidence in his own skills is best shown by the fact that he _.Akeeps a small altar Bdepends on navigational aidsCis happy to talk while navigating Dhas an ex

38、pensive Japanese engine30The captain talked to the author about several things. These were his_.Aknowledge of the river; religious beliefs; accidentsBaccidents; knowledge of the river; religious beliefsCreligious beliefs; accidents; knowledge of the riverDknowledge of the river; accidents; religious

40、 class discussions if you have something worth adding. Pay attention during class, especially during lectures.Taking notes is important. You dont need to write down every single word your teacher says but write down what he or she writes on the board, or any special fact you think you might need for

41、 a test. _32_ This way it will help you learn more effectively by actually thinking about what you are writing.Dont skip school. You will be missing out on stuff. _33_ However, you will have more work and you have missed lectures. Also, try not to be late for class. Its most likely that your teacher

42、 wont appreciate it and you will get yourself behind._34_ If you have an “ I dont care about school or this class ” attitude, then teachers will be less willing to help you with problems or offer you extra credit. The same goes for lazy attitude. Have a respectful attitude to the teacher and other s
