Make Stuff, Fail, And Learn While You're At It

A) We've always been a hands-on, do it-yourself kind of Ben Franklin, one of America's founding fathers, didn't just invent the lightning His creations include glasses, innovative stoves and

B) Franklin, who was largely self-taught, may have been a genius, but he wasn't really an exception when it comes to American making and

C) The personal computing revolution and philosophy of disruptive innovation of Silicon Valley grew, in part, out of the creations of the Homebrew Computer Club, which was founded in a garage in Menlo Park, California, in the Members-including guys named Jobs and Wozniak-started making and inventing things they couldn't

D) So it's no surprise that the Maker Movement today is thriving in communities and some schools across Making is available to ordinary people who aren't tied to big companies, big defense labs or research The maker philosophy echoes old ideas advocated by John Dewey, Montessori, and even ancient Greek philosophers, as we pointed out

E) These maker spaces are often outside of classrooms, and are serving an important educational The Maker Movement is rediscovering learning by doing, which is Dewey's phrase from 100 years We are rediscovering Dewey and Montessori and a lot of the practices that they pioneered that have been forgotten or at least put A maker space is a place which can be in a school, but it doesn't look like a It can be in a It can be out in the It has tools and It's a place where you get to make things based on your interest and on what you, re learning to

F) Ideas about learning by doing have struggled to become mainstream educationally, despite being old concepts from Dewey and Montessori, Plato and Aristotle, and in the American context, Ralph Emerson, on the value of experience and It's not necessarily an efficient way to We learn, in a sense, by trial and Learning from experience is something that takes time and It's very If your goal is to have standardized approaches to learning, where everybody learns the same thing at the same time in the same way, then learning by doing doesn't really fit that mold It's not the world of It's not the world of

G) Learning by doing may not be efficient, but it is Project-based learning has grown in popularity with teachers and However, project-based learning is not Although there is a connection, there is also a The difference lies in whether the project is in a sense defined and developed by the student or whether it's assigned by a We'll all get the kids to build a small We are all going to learn about X, Y, and That tends to be one form of project- based

H) I really believe the core idea of making is to have an idea within your head—or you just borrow it from someone—and begin to develop it, repeat it and improve Then, realize that idea That thing that you make is valuable to you and you can share it with I'm interested in how these things are expressions of that person, their ideas, and their interactions with the

I) In some ways, a lot of forms of making in school trivialize (使变得无足轻重) The thing that you make has no value to Once you are done demonstrating whatever concept was in the; textbook, you throw away the pipe cleaners, the straws, the cardboard

J) Making should be student-directed and student-led, otherwise it's It doesn't have the motivation of the I'm not saying that students should not learn concepts or not learn They But to really harness their motivation is to build upon their It's to let them be in control and to drive the

K) Teachers should aim to build a supportive, creative environment for students to do this A very social environment, where they are learning from each When they have a problem, it isn't the teacher necessarily coming in to solve They are responsible for working through that It might be they have to talk to other students in the class to help get an

L) The teacher's role is more of a coach or Sometimes, to people, it sounds like this is a diminished role for I think it's a heightened You're creating this environment, like a maker You have 20 kids doing different You are watching them and really it's the human behaviors you're looking Are they engaged? Are they developing and repeating their project? Are they stumbling (受挫)? Do they need something that they don't have? Can you help them be aware of where they are?

M) My belief is that the goal of making is not to get every kid to be hands-on, but it enables us to be good It's not the knowledge that is valuable; it's the practice of learning new things and understanding how things These are processes that you are developing so that you are able, over time, to tackle more interesting problems, more challenging problems-problems that require many people instead of one person, and many skills instead of

N) If teachers keep it form-free and student-led, it can still be tied to a curriculum and an educational I think a maker space is more like a library in that there are multiple subjects and multiple things that you can What seems to be missing in school is how these subjects integrate, how they fit t together in any meaningful Rather than saying, "This is science, over here is history," I see schools taking this idea of projects and looking at: How do they support children in higher level learning?

O) I feel like this is a shift away from a subject matter-based curriculum to a more experiential curriculum or It's still in its early stages, but I think it's shifting around not what kids learn but how they

Some College Students Are Angry That They Have to Pay to Do Their Homework

A) Digital learning systems now charge students for access codes needed to complete coursework, take quizzes, and turn in As universities go digital, students are complaining of a new hit to their finances that's replacing—and sometimes joining—expensive textbooks: pricey online access codes that are required to complete coursework and submit

B) The codes—which typically range in price from $ 80 to $ 155 per course—give students online access to systems developed by education companies like McGraw Hill and These companies, which long reaped big profits as textbook publishers, have boasted that their new online offerings, when pushed to students through universities they partner with, represent the future of the

C) But critics say the digital access codes represent the same profit-seeking ethos (观念) of the textbook business, and are even harder for students to opt out While they could once buy second-hand textbooks, or share copies with friends, the digital systems are essentially impossible to

D) "When we talk about the access code we see it as the new face of the textbook monopoly (垄断), a new way to lock students around this system," said Ethan Senack, the higher education advocate for the Public Interest Research Group, to BuzzFeed "Rather than $250 (for a print textbook) you're paying $ 120," said "But because it's all digital it eliminates the used book market and eliminates any sharing and because homework and tests are through an access code, it eliminates any ability to opt "

E) Sarina Harpet, a 19-year-old student at Virginia Tech, was faced with a tough dilemma when she first started college in 20XX—pay rent or pay to turn in her chemistry She told BuzzFeed News that her freshman chemistry class required her to use Connect, a system provided by McGraw Hill where students can submit homework, take exams and track their But the code to access the program cost $ 120—a big sum for Harper, who had already put down $ 450 for textbooks, and had rent day

F) She decided to wait for her next work-study paycheck, which was typically $ 150- $ 200, to pay for the She knew that her chemistry grade may take a dive as a "It's a balancing act," she "Can I really afford these access codes now?" She didn't hand in her first two assignments for chemistry, which started her out in the class with a failing

G) The access codes may be another financial headache for students, but for textbook businesses, they're the McGraw Hill, which controls 21% of the higher education market, reported in March that its digital content sales exceeded print sales for the first time in The company said that 45% of its $ 140 million revenue in 20XX "was derived from digital "

H) A Pearson spokesperson told BuzzFeed News that "digital materials are less expensive and a good investment" that offer new features, like audio texts, personalized knowledge checks and expert Its digital course materials save students up to 60% compared to traditional printed textbooks, the company McGraw Hill didn't respond to a request for comment, but its CEO David Levin told the Financial Times in August that "in higher education, the era of the printed textbook is now "

I) The textbook industry insists the online systems represent a better deal for "These digital products aren't just mechanisms for students to submit homework, they offer all kinds of features," David Anderson, the executive director of higher education with the Association of American Publishers, told BuzzFeed "It helps students understand in a way that you can't do with print homework "

J) David Hunt, an associate professor in sociology at Augusta University, which has rolled out digital textbooks across its math and psychology departments, told BuzzFeed News that he understands the utility of using systems that require access But he doesn't require his students to buy access to a learning program that controls the class "I try to make things as inexpensive as possible," said Hunt, who uses free digital textbooks for his classes but designs his own "The online systems may make my life a lot easier but I feel like I'm giving up The discussions are the things where my expertise can benefit the students "

K) A 20-year-old junior at Georgia Southern University told BuzzFeed News that she normally spends $ 500-$ 600 on access codes for In one case, the professor didn't require students to buy a textbook, just an access code to turn in This year she said she spent $ 900 on access codes to books and "That's two months of rent," she "You can't sell any of it With a traditional textbook you can sell it for $ 30 - $ 50 and that helps to pay for your new semester's With an access code, you're out of that "

L) Benjamin Wolverton, a 19-year-old student at the University of South Carolina, told BuzzFeed News that "it's ridiculous that after paying tens of thousands in tuition we have to pay for all these access codes to do our " Many of the access codes he's purchased have been required simply to complete homework or "Often it's only 10% of your grade in " he "You're paying so much money for something that hardly affects your grade—but if you didn't have it, it would affect your grades It would be bad to start out at a B or " Wolverton said he spent $ 500 on access codes for digital books and programs this

M) Harper, a poultry (家禽) science major, is taking chemistry again this year and had to buy a new access code to hand in her She rented her economics and statistics textbooks for about $ 20 But her access codes for homework, which can't be rented or bought second-hand, were her most expensive purchases: $ 120 and $

N) She still remembers the sting of her first experience skipping an assignment due to the high "We don't really have a missed assignment policy," she "If you miss it, you just miss I just got zeros on a couple of first I managed to pull everything back But as a scared freshman looking at their grades, it's not "

A student's yearly expenses on access codes may amount to their rent for two

The online access codes may be seen as a way to tie the students to the digital

If a student takes a course again, they may have to buy a new access code to submit their

McGraw Hill accounts for over one-fifth of the market share of college

Many traditional textbook publishers are now offering online digital products, which they believe will be the future of the publishing

One student complained that they now had to pay for access codes in addition to the high

Digital materials can cost students less than half the price of traditional printed books according to a

One student decided not to buy her access code until she received the pay for her part-time

Online systems may deprive teachers of opportunities to make the best use of their expertise for their

Digital access codes are criticized because they are profit-driven just like the textbook

英语四级考试的开展目的是推动大学英语教学大纲的`贯彻执行，对大学生的英语能力进行客观、准确的测量。下面是小编想跟大家分享的2017英语四级试题答案，欢迎大家浏览。

Section A

Directions：In this section， there is a passage with ten blanks。 You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage。 Read the passage through carefully before making your choices。 Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter。 Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre。 You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once。

Questions 26 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard.

Physical activity does the body good, and there’s growing evidence that it helps the brain too. Researchers in the Netherlands report that children who get more exercise, whether at school or on their own,  26 to have higher GPAs and better scores on standardized tests. In a  27  of 14 studies that looked at physical activity and academic 28 , investigators found that the more children moved, the better their grades were in school,  29  in the basic subjects of math, English and reading.

The data will certainly fuel the ongoing debate over whether physical education classes should be cut as schools struggle to  30  on smaller budgets. The arguments against physical education have included concerns that gym time may be taking away from study time. With standardized test scores in the U.S.  31  in recent years, some administrators believe students need to spend more time in the classroom instead of on the playground. But as these findings show, exercise and academics may not be  32  exclusive. Physical activity can improve blood  33  to the brain, fueling memory, attention and creativity, which are  34  to learning. And exercise releases hormones that can improve  35  and relieve stress, which can also help learning. So while it may seem as if kids are just exercising their bodies when they’re running around, they may actually be exercising their brains as well.

Section B

Directions： In this section， you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it。 Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs。 Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived。 You may choose a paragraph more than once。 Each paragraph is marked with a letter。 Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2。

Finding the Right Home—and Contentment, Too

[A] When your elderly relative needs to enter some sort of long-term care facility—a moment few parents or children approach without fear—what you would like is to have everything made clear.

[B] Does assisted living really mark a great improvement over a nursing home, or has the industry simply hired better interior designers? Are nursing homes as bad as people fear, or is that an out-moded stereotype (固定看法)? Can doing one’s homework really steer families to the best places? It is genuinely hard to know.

[C] I am about to make things more complicated by suggesting that what kind of facility an older person lives in may matter less than we have assumed. And that the characteristics adult children look for when they begin the search are not necessarily the things that make a difference to the people who are going to move in. I am not talking about the quality of care, let me hastily add. Nobody flourishes in a gloomy environment with irresponsible staff and a poor safety record. But an accumulating body of research indicates that some distinctions between one type of elder care and another have little real bearing on how well residents do.

[D]The most recent of these studies, published in The journal of Applied Gerontology, surveyed 150 Connecticut residents of assisted living, nursing homes and smaller residential care homes (known in some states as board and care homes or adult care homes). Researchers from the University of Connecticut Health Center asked the residents a large number of questions about their quality of life, emotional well-being and social interaction, as well as about the quality of the facilities.

[E]“We thought we would see differences based on the housing types,” said the lead author of the study, Julie Robison, an associate professor of medicine at the university. A reasonable assumption—don’t families struggle to avoid nursing homes and suffer real guilt if they can’t?

[F] In the initial results, assisted living residents did paint the most positive picture. They were less likely to report symptoms of depression than those in the other facilities, for instance, and less likely to be bored or lonely. They scored higher on social interaction.

[G] But when the researchers plugged in a number of other variables, such differences disappeared. It is not the housing type, they found, that creates differences in residents’ responses. “It is the characteristics of the specific environment they are in, combined with their own personal characteristics—how healthy they feel they are, their age and marital status,” Dr. Robison explained. Whether residents felt involved in the decision to move and how long they had lived there also proved significant.

[H] An elderly person who describes herself as in poor health, therefore, might be no less depressed in assisted living (even if her children preferred it) than in a nursing home. A person who bad input into where he would move and has had time to adapt to it might do as well in a nursing home as in a small residential care home, other factors being equal. It is an interaction between the person and the place, not the sort of place in itself, that leads to better or worse experiences. “You can’t just say, ‘Let’s put this person in a residential care home instead of a nursing home—she will be much better off,” Dr. Robison said. What matters, she added, “is a combination of what people bring in with them, and what they find there.”

[I] Such findings, which run counter to common sense, have surfaced before. In a multi-state study of assisted living, for instance, University of North Carolina researchers found that a host of variables—the facility’s type, size or age; whether a chain owned it; how attractive the neighborhood was—had no significant relationship to how the residents fared in terms of illness, mental decline, hospitalizations or mortality. What mattered most was the residents’ physical health and mental status. What people were like when they came in had greater consequence than what happened one they were there.

[J] As I was considering all this, a press release from a respected research firm crossed my desk, announcing that the five-star rating system that Medicare developed in 2008 to help families compare nursing home quality also has little relationship to how satisfied its residents or their family members are. As a matter of fact, consumers expressed higher satisfaction with the one-star facilities, the lowest rated, than with the five-star ones. (More on this study and the star ratings will appear in a subsequent post.)

[K] Before we collectively tear our hair out—how are we supposed to find our way in a landscape this confusing?—here is a thought from Dr. Philip Sloane, a geriatrician（老年病学专家）at the University of North Carolina：“In a way, that could be liberating for families.”

[L] Of course, sons and daughters want to visit the facilities, talk to the administrators and residents and other families, and do everything possible to fulfill their duties. But perhaps they don’t have to turn themselves into private investigators or Congressional subcommittees. “Families can look a bit more for where the residents are going to be happy，” Dr. Sloane said. And involving the future resident in the process can be very important.

[M] We all have our own ideas about what would bring our parents happiness. They have their ideas, too. A friend recently took her mother to visit an expensive assisted living/nursing home near my town. I have seen this place—it is elegant, inside and out. But nobody greeted the daughter and mother when they arrived, though the visit had been planned; nobody introduced them to the other residents. When they had lunch in the dining room, they sat alone at a table.

[N] The daughter feared her mother would be ignored there, and so she decided to move her into a more welcoming facility. Based on what is emerging from some of this research, that might have been as rational a way as any to reach a decision.

36. Many people feel guilty when they cannot find a place other than a nursing home for their parents.

37.Though it helps for children to investigate care facilities, involving their parents in the decision-making process may prove very important.

38.It is really difficult to tell if assisted living is better than a nursing home.

39.How a resident feels depends on an interaction between themselves and the care facility they live in.

40.The author thinks her friend made a rational decision in choosing a more hospitable place over an apparently elegant assisted living home.

41.The system Medicare developed to rate nursing home quality is of little help to finding a satisfactory place.

42.At first the researchers of the most recent study found residents in assisted living facilities gave higher scores on social interaction.

43.What kind of care facility old people live in may be less important than we think.

44.The findings of the latest research were similar to an earlier multi-state study of assisted living.

45.A resident’s satisfaction with a care facility has much to do with whether they had participated in the decision to move in and how long they had stayed there.
