A
Thirty-nine years ago，a young man named Ma Yun met an Australian family by Hangzhou's West Lake.Five years later，Ken Morley，the father of the family，invited Ma to Australia，which would be the first time for Ma to travel abroad.After staying in Newcastle for 29 days，Ma came back to China as a changed person.
“What impressed me most was that the world is full of wonders，”Ma，now known as Jack Ma，one of the founders of Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba，said in an interview.“What you learned from books and your parents is not necessarily true.You need to experience everything by yourself，and to think with your own mind.”That was perhaps one of the earliest thoughts that Ma had had about education.
This is why when the news came that Ma was going to step down as the executive chairman of Alibaba and return to education，it wasn't exactly a surprise.After all，over the past decade，Ma has devoted himself to education：He co-founded Hupan University in Hangzhou for entrepreneurship(企业家精神)studies；he established foundations to support teachers and headmasters in rural areas in China；he also set up the Ma & Morley Scholarship at the University of Newcastle to give back to the kindness that an Australian stranger once showed to a random Chinese boy.
“Teaching maths，English and business is beyond my plan.Teaching young people how to face challenges is what matters，”Ma said.So，while some people may say that Ma's stepping down from Alibaba is like the end of an era，Ma himself sees his return to education as“the beginning of an era”．
1．What does Ma Yun suggest for young people? A．Purchasing on the Internet. B．Following books and parents. C．Travelling abroad to broaden mind. D．Experiencing the world by themselves.
2．Why did Ma Yun set up a scholarship in Australia? A．To show his gratitude in return. B．To earn more money on education. C．To increase his company's influence.
D．To inspire Chinese overseas students. 3．What would Ma Yun teach in his university? A．How to study maths and English. B．How to start a business. C．How to run e-commerce. D．How to face challenges.
4．What can be the best title for the text? A．How to Become Great B．Returning to Education C．The Internet Empire D．Learning by Doing

“For thousands of years，people have known that the best way to understand a concept is to explain it to someone else.While we teach，we learn，” said Roman philosopher
Seneca.Now
scientists
are
bringing
this
ancient
wisdom
up-to-date.They're documenting why teaching is such a fruitful way to learn，and designing innovative ways for young people to engage in instruction.
Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor others work harder to understand the material，recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively.Student teachers score higher on tests than pupils who're learning only for their own sake.But how can children teach others while learning themselves? One answer：They can tutor younger kids.Some studies have found that first-born children are more intelligent than their later-born siblings(兄弟或姐妹)．This suggests their higher IQs result from the time they spend teaching their siblings.Now educators are experimenting with ways to apply this model to academic subjects.They engage college undergraduates to teach computer science to high school students，who in turn instruct middle school students on the topic.
But the most cutting-edge tool under development is the “teachable agent”—a computerized character who learns，tries，makes mistakes and asks questions just like a real-world pupil. Computer scientists have created an animated(动画的)figure called Betty's Brain，who has been “taught”about environmental science by hundreds of middle school students.Student teachers are motivated to help Betty master certain materials.While preparing to teach，they organize their knowledge and improve their own understanding.And as they explain the information to it，they identify problems in their own thinking.
Feedback from the teachable agents further enhances the tutors' learning.The agents' questions force student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways，and watching the agents solve problems allows them to see their knowledge put into action.
Above all，it's the emotions one experiences in teaching that facilitate learning.Student tutors feel upset when their teachable agents fail，but happy when these virtual pupils succeed as they derive pride and satisfaction from someone else's accomplishment.
5．What are researchers rediscovering through their studies? A．Seneca's thinking is still applicable today. B．Better learners will become better teachers. C．Human intelligence tends to grow with age. D．Philosophical thinking improves instruction. 6．What do we learn about Betty's Brain? A．It is a character in a popular animation. B．It is a teaching tool under development.
