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 piece 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 proof of student learning is a huge part of the teacher's job, and whether it is done poorly or not makes all the difference in that teacher's 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 first is a valuable approach; the second is the first step on the road toward wasting everybody's time.
And there's 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 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 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 it's far more useful to say, “Teachers should be able to discover what
B.The second group. D.The control group.
students know.”
32.What does the underlined phrase in the second paragraph mean?
A.Very dangerous. B.Very annoying. C.Very difficult. D.Very frequent. 33.According to the third paragraph, a teacher should have the ability to . A.discover whether his students know B.avoid wasting the precious time in class C.apply various approaches while teaching D.give students the chance to prove themselves
34.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 huge burden on teachers. C.They should mainly focus on effectiveness. D.They slide away from their original purpose. 35.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 what students know.
D.There should be better understanding between teachers and students.

How to manage holiday stress
As the holiday season approaches, I encourage my patients to ask themselves if the glass is half full or half empty. How we manage the holidays may have as much to do with our expectations as our resources. 36.
Your neighbors are throwing a holiday party, and they've asked you to make all of the desserts. 37. While you feel very overwhelmed, you feel a sense of obligation(义务)to please others.
In situations like these, I advise my patients to take a step back and remember that they're not supermen. Don't let “supposed to do” take the place of what you would like to do. To reduce pressure, try to keep your life simple by talking with family members or friends before making decisions. 38.
It also helps to get prepared for some problems. This goes back to managing expectations. Prepare for the unexpected and know that some problems are possible such as traffic or
forgetting a present for a family member. 39.
The holidays can also be a time of year that brings unpleasant memories such as sad events or anniversaries. For some who have experienced abuse, holiday activities can lead to unpleasant memories.
40. Make the most of them. Look for easy, social and comforting ways to celebrate. Get together with family and friends to bake while listening to great music or to help younger children make crafts for their presents while watching an old movie. These activities can reduce stress and can also be easy on your budget.
A.Remember that the holidays are as short as life. B.It is not a good idea to give in to others' requests. C.It is important to be realistic about what you want. D.But you want to spend time with your family baking. E.Spare your time with your family during the holiday. F.This will help you to spend the holidays what you want. G.Most importantly, don’t blame yourself for what goes wrong.
