The other UNC professors at the 12 began sharing their own stories about the troubling state of curiosity on 13 . All of them have noted that such ignorance isn't 14 -students have always possessed far less knowledge than they should.But in the past, 15 tended to be a source of shame and motivation. Students were far more likely to be 16 by not－knowing, far more eager to fill such gaps by learning. 17 , nowadays as one reviewer once said, "It's that they don't 18 what they don't know." In our increasingly complex world, the amount of information required to master any 19 discipline-e.g.computers, life insurance, medicine-has expended geometrically (成几何级数增加地). We are forced to 20 specialists, people who know more and more about less and less.Curiously, in a world where everything is worth knowing, nothing is. | ||||

| 任务型读写 请认真阅读下列短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词. 注意:每个空格只填1 个单词. Almost every career requires such skills as listening, speaking, reading, writing, decision making, researching, reasoning, creativity, persuasion, leadership, interpersonal communication, and organization. In addition, a number of characteristics that may be important for specific jobs: achievement, aggressiveness, ambition, dependability, discipline, honesty, initiative, motivation, people orientation, persistence, responsibility, selfconfidence, selfstarting, sensitivity, sincerity, tenacity, and toughmindedness. The way you acquire these skills and behaviors is, to a great extent, up to you. Without them, no matter how bright and knowledgeable you may be, landing a top job is of extreme difficulty, if not impossible. The most likely way to obtain these skills and behaviors is through courses, reading, internships, parttime or fulltime employment, extracurricular activities, and participation in community functions. Knowing what an employer is looking for in a potential employee can help an applicant to prepare for an interview. An interviewer for a major corporation was asked these questions: What specific skills are you looking for in applicants? And how do you identify these skills? He responded : Most important for us in the way of skills is the ability to communicate-can people speak clearly? Can they articulate the kind of person they believe themselves to be? In what kind of work situations do they perform well? What are their strengths and weaknesses? We want to know about the personal qualities of the individual, so I try to ask questions to draw them out and attempt to find out if they have a sense of themselves. What I'm looking for is an ability to verbalize an idea in clear, simple, understandable language. I'm also looking for the ability to listen attentively and then to be able to respond to an idea or thought that has been presented to them. If they do have good communication skills, they will be able to do this logically and succinctly. I am looking for creativity -can they be spontaneous? I will ask some "offthewall" questions just to see if this throws them. How do they respond in these tough situations-can they be creative with their answers? This is very important when they are out in business situations with customers. They will have to respond to very sudden changes and problemsolving situations that they are not necessarily familiar with, and I want to know if they can handle them. What we look for the most are personal qualities-assertiveness, selfmotivation, drive, ambition, and a competitive instinct. They should be high achievers and want to work hard. I can usually tell about these qualities from the way the person presents himself or herself and some of the activities they have engaged in. I pick up things from the applications and resume-how they have written them and the kinds of things they say. How they present their experiences is often very informative. For example, an assertive person will say, "I can do these things" and "I decided on this course of action, " whereas a more passive person might say, "These are the experiences I have had." All of these things describe the person in some way. Qualities Employers Seek

阅读下面短文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。
In a society, such as the United States or Canada, which has many national, religious and cultural differences, people highly value individualism-the difference among people. Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students don't memorize information. Instead, they work individually and find answers themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.
In most Asian societies, by contrast, people have the same language, history, and culture. Perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the Orient reflects society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China, Japan, and Korea often work together and help one another in assignments. In the classroom, the teaching methods are often very formal. The teacher lectures, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students recite rules of information that they have memorized.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these systems of education. For example, one advantage to the system in Japan is that there much more math and science than American students learn by the end of high school. They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control. There is, however, a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized.
The advantage of the educational system in North American, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas. There is, however, a disadvantage. When students graduate from high school, they haven’t memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have.
