Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
I came away from my years of teaching on the college and university level with a conviction that enactment(扮演角色), performance, dramatization are the most successful forms of teaching. Students must be incorporated, made, so far as possible, an integral part of the learning process. The notion that learning should have in it an element of inspired play would seem to the greater part of the academic establishment merely silly, but that is nonetheless the case. Of Ezekiel Cheever, the most famous schoolmaster of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, his onetime student Cotton Mather wrote that he so planned his lessons that his pupils“came to work as though they came to play,”and Alfred North Whitehead, almost three hundred years later, noted that a teacher should make his/her students“glad they were there.” |
