Anyone who cares about what schools and colleges teach and how their students learn will be interested in the memoir (回憶錄) of Ralph W.Tyler, who is one of the most famous men in American education.
Born in Chicago in 1902, brought up and schooled in Nebraska, the 19-year-old college graduate Ralph Tyler became hooked on teaching while teaching as a science teacher in South Dakota and changed his major from medicine to education.
Graduate work at the University of Chicago found him connected with honorable educators Charles Judd and W.W. Charters, whose ideas of teaching and testing had an effect on his later work.In 1927, he became a teacher of Ohio State University where he further developed a new method of testing.
Tyler became well-known nationally in 1938, when he carried his work with the Eight-Year Study from Ohio State University to the University of Chicago at the invitation of Robed Hutchins.
Tyler was the first director of the Center for Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences at Stanford, a position he held for fourteen years.There, he firmly believed that researchers should be free to seek an independent spirit in their work.
Although Tyler officially retired (退休) in 1967, he never actually retired.He served on a long list of educational organizations in the United States and abroad.Even in his 80s he traveled across the country to advise teachers and management people on how to set objectives (目標) that develop the best teaching and learning within their schools.

A.Top managers.
B.Language learners.
C.Serious educators.
D.Science researchers.
2.The words “hooked on teaching” underlined in Paragraph 2 probably mean ______.

A.The University of Chicago.

“Who made your T-shirt?” A Harvard University student raised that question.Piertra Rivoli, a professor of business, wanted to find the answer.A few weeks later, she bought a T-shirt and began to follow its path form Texas cotton, to Chinese factory and to charity bin (慈善捐贈箱).The result is an interesting new book, The Travels of a T-shirt in the Global Economy.
Following a T-shirt around the world in a way to make her point more interesting, but it also frees Rivoli from the usual arguments over global trade.She goes wherever the T-shirt goes, and there are surprises around every corner.In China, Rivoli shows why a clothing factory, even with its poor conditions, means a step towards a better care for the people who work there.In the colorful used-clothing markets of Tanzania, she realizes that, “it is only in this final stage of life that the T-shirt will meet a real market,” where the price of a shirt changes by the hour and is different by its size and even color.Rivoli’s book is full of memorable people and scenes, like the noise, the bad air and the “muddy sweet smell of the cotton,” she says.“Here in the factory, Shanghai smells like shallow water Texas.”
Rivoli is at her best when making those sorts of unexpected connections.She even finds one between the free traders and those who are against globalization.The chances opened up by trade are vast, she argues, but free markets need the correcting force of politics to keep them in check.True economic progress needs them both.
1.What do we learn about Professor Rivoli?
A.She used to work on cotton farm.
B.She wrote a book about world trade.
C.She wants to give up her teaching job.
D.She wears a T-shirt wherever she goes.

A.cheaper T-shirts are needed
B.used T-shirts are hard to sell
C.prices of T-shirts rise and fall frequently
D.prices of T-shirts are usually reasonable
3.What does the word “them” underlined in the last paragraph refer to?
A.Free markets.
B.Price changes.
C.Unexpected connections.
D. Chances opened up by trade.
4.What would be the best title for the text?
A.What T-shirts Can Do to Help Cotton Farms
B.How T-shirts Are Made in Shanghai
C.How T-shirts Are Sold in Tanzania
D.What T-shirts Can Teach Us
The full moon climbs over the eastern horizon (地平線) and hangs like a huge orange globe in the sky.A few hours later, the moon is overhead but seems to have changed.The huge orange globe has become a small silver disk.What has happened? Why has the orange color disappeared? Why does the moon seem so much smaller and farther away now that it is overhead?
The moon appears orange on the horizon because we view it through the dust of the atmosphere.The overhead moon does not really shrink (縮小) as it moves away from the horizon.Our eyes inform us that the overhead moon is farther away. But in this position the moon is actually closer to our eyes than when it is near the horizon.
The change in size is a trick our eyes and minds play on us.When the moon is low in the sky, we can compare its size with familiar objects.It is easy to see that the moon is much larger than trees or buildings, for example.When the moon is high in the sky, however, it is hard to compare it with objects on earth. Compared to the vastness of the sky, the moon seems small.
There is another reason why the moon seems to shrink.We are used to staring at objects straight ahead of us.When an object is difficult to see, our eyes have to try to focus on it.When we move our heads back to look up, we will try hard again.Looking at something from an unaccustomed position can fool you into believing an object is smaller or farther away than it is.However, scientists do not yet understand completely why the moon seems to shrink as it rises in the sky.
1.What makes us puzzled when the moon is high in the sky?
A.It becomes large.
B.It looks different.
C.Its color disappears.
D.Its shape changes.
2.What really happens when the moon floats farther away from the horizon?
A.It comes nearer.
B.It turns orange.
C.It goes farther.
D.It gets through dust.
3.What does the author intend to suggest by mentioning trees and buildings in Para.3?
A.They can affect our judgment.
B.They are low on earth.
C.They can attract our attention.
D.They are large objects.
4.What can we infer from the text?
A.The size of the moon often changes.
B.The moon is in fact a huge orange globe.
C.The moon is beginning to shrink much.
D.We do not see the moon as it really is.
二、七選五
Movies have documented America for more than one hundred years.Since Thomas Edison introduced the movie camera in 1893, amateur and professional movie-makers have used moving pictures to tell stories and explain the work of business and government.1. By preserving these movies, we will save a century of history.
Unfortunately, movies are not made to last.2.Already the losses are high.Only 20% of US feature films from the 1910s to 1920s survive.Of the American features produced before 1950, about half exist.For independently produced works, we have no way of knowing how much has been lost.
For many libraries and museums, the hardest step in preserving movie collections is getting started.The Movie Preservation Guide is designed for these organizations.3.These institutions have collections of moving pictures but lack information about how to take care of them.The Guide contains basic facts for “beginners”—professionals trained in history but unschooled in this technical area.
The Guide grew from user workshops at Duke University.At the sessions, beginners talked with technical experts about what they needed to know to preserve and make available their movie collections.4.
Following the advice, the Guide describes methods for handling and storing moving pictures that are practical for research institutions with limited resources.5.The Guide has been translated into Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
A.“Keep it simple!” was the advice of the discussions.
B.They’ll be damaged within years if not properly stored.
C.These organizations are the first to save American movies.
D.It is organized in chapters and includes case studies and charts.
E.It introduces movie preservation to nonprofit and public institutions.
F.They show how generations of Americans have lived, worked and dreamed.
G.They store the original movies and new ones under cool-and-dry conditions.
