Student participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on the student’s oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role (i.e., listening and taking notes), many courses are organized around classroom discussions, student questions, and informal lectures. In graduate discussions the professor had a “manager” role and the students make presentations and lead discussions. The students do the actual teaching in these discussions.

A professor’s teaching method is another factor that determines the degree and type of student participation. Some professors prefer to control discussions while others prefer to guide the class without controlling it. Many professors encourage students to question their ideas. Students who object to the professor’s point of view should be prepared to prove their positions.

In the teaching of science and mathematics, the controlling mode of instruction is generally traditional, with teachers presenting formal lectures and students taking notes. However, new educational trends have turned up in the humanities and social sciences in the past twenty years. Students in education, society, and history classes, for example, are often required to solve problems in groups, design projects, make presentations, and examine case studies. Since some college or university courses are “practical” rather than theoretical, they pay more attention to “doing” for themselves.

“Participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the student” in  ____

       class.

       A.the humanities and social sciences  B.the science and mathematics

       C.the theoretical lessons      D.the strictly controlled courses

       A.has not changed much in the past twenty years

       B.pay attention to students’ studying instead of teachers’ teaching

       A.these professors are often not well prepared before class

       B.these professors want to stress “doing”

       C.these professors want to test the students abilities

       D.these professors are not willing to teach theory

閱讀理解

  A new law is leading to debate in Wisconsin.The state recently lowered its minimum(最小的)hunting age.Under the new plan, children as young as 10 may hunt with an adult.Each pair can have only one gun or bow, and the adult and child must stay within arm's reach of each other at all times.

  Some say the new plan is on target.They believe that teaching more kids how to hunt will protect Wisconsin's traditions.Hunting is a way of life for many residents in the state.However, other people say giving kids control of weapons is asking for trouble.They worry that someone will get hurt.

  Should kids be allowed to hunt? Student reporters Michael Tobin and Emily Jue express their opinions about the issue.

  Yes.Hunting is a valuable skill for kids to learn.

  I think children under the age of l2 should be able to hunt because hunting can be a very useful skill.If you were stranded(陷于困境的)in the wild with nothing but a gun, you would have a better chance of survival if you knew how to use it.

  The law makes sure that kids learn with an adult present.Having an experienced hunter that you know teaching you is extremely valuable.Paul Huchette, a retired businessperson from Latrobe, Pa., agrees.“Kids under the age of l2 should be able to hunt under the supervision(監(jiān)管)of a parent,” Huchette says.

  Michacl Tobin, Oregon

  No.Hunting is dangerous for young children.

  I believe that children should not be allowed to hunt.Placing a gun in a child's hand isn't safe and could result in unthinkable consequences.You are teaching young children to get joy through killing and by watching animals suffer.They can also use their guns at the wrong time for the wrong reasons.

  Also, children aren't physically mature enough.They can easily miss their targets and hurt themselves or others.How would you feel if a bullet came whizzing(飛馳而過)by your house?

  “Teaching young children a sport that involves killing an animal isn't very wise,” says Lily Cao, a fifth grader from Houston, Texas.

  Emily Jue, Texas
