In a series of four experiments, behavioral scientists at the University of Chicago and

The drive to 10 is deeply rooted in humans,much the same as the basic drives for 11 o

Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing
A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET. （40 points）
Text 1
It is curious that Stephen Koziatek feels almost as though he has to justify his
efforts to give his students a better future.
Mr.Koziatek is part of something pioneering. He is a teacher at a New Hampshire
high school where learning is not something of books and tests and mechanical
memorization, but practical. When did it become accepted wisdom that students
should be able to name the 13th president of the United States but be utterly
overwhelmed by a broken bike chain?
As Koziatek knows,there is learning in just about everything. Nothing is
necessarily gained by forcing students to learn geometry at a graffitied desk stuck
with generations of discarded chewing gum. They can also learn geometry by
assembling a bicycle.
But he’s also found a kind of insidious prejudice. Working with your hands is seen
as almost a mark of inferiority.Schools in the family of vocational education “have
that stereotype..that it’s for kids who can’t make it academically,”he says.
