Proper arrangement of classroom space is important to encouraging interaction. Most of us have noticed how important physical setting is to efficiency and comfort in our work. College classroom space should be designed to encourage the activity of critical thinking.

We have entered the 21st century, but step into almost any college classroom and you step back in time at least a hundred years. Desks are normally in straight rows, so students can clearly see the teacher but not all their classmates. This assumption behind such an arrangement is obvious：Everything of importance comes from the teacher.

　　With a little imagination and effort, unless desks are fixed to the floor, the teacher can correct this situation and create space that encourages interchange among students. In small or standard- size classes，chairs，desks，and tables can be arranged in a variety of ways. The primary goal should be for everyone to be able to see everyone else. Large classes，particularly those held in lecture halls，unfortunately，allow much less flexibility.

Arrangement of the classroom should also make it easy to divide students into small groups for discussion or problem-solving exercises. Small classes with movable desks and tables present no problem. Even in large lecture halls，it is possible for students to turn around and form groups of four to six. Breaking a class into small groups provides more opportunities for students to interact with each other，think out loud，and see how other students’ thinking processes operate--all essential elements in developing new modes of critical thinking.

　　In courses that regularly use a small group format（形式，布局），students might be asked to stay in the same small groups throughout the course. A colleague of mine allows students to move around during the first two weeks，until they find a group they are comfortable with. John then asks them to stay in the same seat，with the same group, from that time on. This not only creates a comfortable setting for interaction but helps him learn students’ names and faces.

A．for the teacher to divide students into small groups.

B．to make it possible for students to interact with each other.

C．for the teacher to find out how students think.

A．there is not much change in educational idea over the past hundred years

B．critical thinking was encouraged even a century ago

C．college classrooms often remind people of their college life

D．a hundred years ago, desk arrangement in a classroom was quite different

Some people are lucky enough to be born with a good sense of direction and even if they have only visited a place once, they will be able to find it again years later.
I am one of those unfortunate people who have poor sense of direction and I may have visited a place time after time but I still get lost on my way there. When I was young I was so shy that I never dared ask complete strangers the way and so I used to wander round in circles and hope that by some chance I would get to the spot I was heading for.
I am no longer too shy to ask people for direction, but I often receive replies that puzzle me. Often people do not like to admit that they didn’t know their hometown and will insist on telling you the way, even if they do not know it; others, who are anxious to prove that they know their hometown very well, will give you a long list of directions which you can not possibly hope to remember, and still others do not seem to be able to tell between their left and their right and you find in the end that you are going in the opposite direction to that in which you should be going.
If anyone ever asks me the way to somewhere, I always tell them I am a stranger to the town in order to avoid giving them wrong direction but even this can have embarrassing results.
Once I was on my way to work when I was stopped by a man who asked me if I would direct him the way to the Sunlight Building. I gave my usual reply, but I had not walked on a few steps when I realized that he had asked for directions to my office building. However, at this point, I decide it was too late to turn back and search for him out of the crowd behind me as I was going to meet with someone at the office and I did not want to keep him waiting.
Imagine my embarrassment when my secretary showed in the very man who had asked for directions of my office and his astonishment when he recognized me as the person he had asked.
【小题1】What is the writer going to do when someone asks him for direction?

A．He will direct the right way to the person willingly.

B．He will reply to it by the means of being a stranger to the town.

C．He will give the very person long list of direction.

D．He is going to show the man an opposite direction.

【小题2】 Why did the writer consider himself to be an unlucky dog?

A．Because of his poor sense of direction.

B．Because he always forget the way to home.

C．Because he did not have any friend.

D．Because he used to be shy and dared not ask others the way.

【小题3】How did the visitor feel when he was showed into the very room?

A．He felt strange.	B．He felt embarrassed.
C．He felt very sad.	D．He felt astonished.

【小题4】 Who showed the right way to the interviewee according to the passage?

A．Someone we don’t know.	B．The writer did it for himself.
C．The secretary did so.	D．A warm-hearted old lady did such a thing.

　　Thirteen vehicles lined up last March to race across the Mojave Desert, seeking a million in prize money．To win, they had to finish the 142-mile race in less than 10 hours．Teams and watchers knew there might be no winner at all, because these vehicles were missing a key part－drivers．

　　DARPA, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, organized the race as part of a push to develop robotic vehicles for future battlefields．But the Grand Challenge, as it was called, just proved how difficult it is to get a car to speed across an unfamiliar desert without human guidance．One had its brake lock up in the starting area．Another began by throwing itself onto a wall．Another got tied up by bushes near the road after 1.9 miles．

　　One turned upside down．One took off in entirely the wrong direction and had to be disabled by remote(远距离的)control．One went a little more than a mile and rushed into a fence; another managed to go for six miles but stuck on a rock．The “winner,” if there was any, reached 7.8 miles before it ran into a long, narrow hole, and the front wheels caught on fire．

　　“You get a lot of respect for natural abilities of the living things, ” says Reinhold Behringer, who helped design two of the car-size vehicles for a company called Sci-Autonics．“Even ants(蚂蚁)can do all these tasks effortlessly．It’s very hard for us to put these abilities into our machines．”

　　The robotic vehicles, though with necessary modern equipment such as advanced computers and GPS guidance, had trouble figuring out fast enough the blocks ahead that a two-year-old human recognizes immediately．Sure, that very young child, who has just only learned to walk, may not think to wipe apple juice off her face, but she already knows that when there’s a cookie in the kitchen she has to climb up the table, and that when she gets to the cookie it will taste good．She is more advanced, even months old, than any machine humans have designed．

(1)

Watchers doubted if any of the vehicles could finish the race because ________．
[　　]
A．	they did not have any human guidance
B．	the road was not familiar to the drivers
C．	the distance was too long for the vehicles
D．	the prize money was unattractive to the drivers

(2)

DARPA organized the race in order to ________．
[　　]
A．	raise money for producing more robotic vehicles
B．	push the development of vehicle industry
C．	train more people to drive in the desert
D．	improve the vehicles for future wars

(3)

From the passage we know “robotic vehicles” are a kind of machines that ________．
[　　]
A．	can do effortlessly whatever tasks living things can
B．	can take part in a race across 142 miles with a time limit
C．	can show off their ability to turn themselves upside down
D．	can move from place to place without being driven by human beings

(4)

In the race, the greatest distance one robotic vehicle covered was ________．
[　　]
A．	about eight miles
B．	six miles
C．	almost two miles
D．	about one mile

(5)

In the last paragraph, the writer implies that there is a long way to go ________．
[　　]
A．	for a robotic vehicle to finish a 142-mile race without any difficulties
B．	for a little child who has just learned to walk to reach the cookie on the table
C．	for a robotic vehicle to deal with a simple problem that a little child can solve
D．	for a little child to understand the importance of wiping apple juice off its face
