Ⅷ Reading Comprehension (2 points for each correct answer)
Passage 1
My observation is that many instructors, from elementary school through
undergraduate college courses, have a standard, conventional, only right way
approach to the material. A student who does it differently from the instructor is
labeled I believe that such an approach is often the result of the limited
intellectual ability of the instructor, who only knows one reliable technique.
As a simple example of rigidity (僵化), when I was a pupil in elementary school,
the textbook and instructor taught that the definition of a noun was name of a
person, place, or thing.
said that a noun was name of anythingI liked the latter definition better,
because it was logically simpler: any name is a noun. But I was marked wrong for not
using the official definition, although the definition I gave on the examination was
equivalent.
Students who are both intelligent and highly creative often make average grades in
school, because these creative students see issues and vagueness in examination
problems that the instructor did not intend. Creative students
according to the view of the conventional instructor. This problem is particularly
severe on multiple choice examinations where a creative student can quickly find
situations in which either all or none of the answers are correct, whereas a noncreative
student who knows the material in a conventional way simply selects the best answer
and gets marked correct.
Children seem to have an innate sense of curiosity, enthusiasm, and imagination.
Mature adults generally lack these qualities. Where did these qualities get lost? I
believe that teachers and industrial managers beat these qualities out of people, in
order to make them easier to control and manage. In my experience, both as a student
and professor, organized education - as a bureaucracy (官僚机构) - actively
discourages creativity. I believe that creativity can be taught and encouraged in a
master-apprentice setting, such as a student working in a research laboratory.

Passage 2
Your moral values are your beliefs about what is important in life. Some values
refer to how one should act (be honest, unselfish, self- disciplined) while other values
refer to what one wants to accomplish or obtain in life (a lot of money, fame, a family,
friendships, world peace). Because a person cannot it allor all things,
priorities must be set and choices made. Setting your priorities often leads to value
conflicts. You may want to be successful in your career, but you may also want a more
relaxing lifestyle and more time to spend with friends and family. Here, the value of
success may come into conflict with the value of family. Some examples of moral
values are: integrity, respect, caring, justice and openness. There are many, many
moral values; thus, these represent only a very few.
To understand and solve a moral dilemma, you must figure out which values are
involved in the conflict, prioritize them, and act upon the primary value. The act must
be grounded in a moral rule.
What is a moral rule? A moral rule is very specific; it is action guiding. It tells you
what to do in a specific situation. Moral rules are quite specific about what should be
done. Values are general beliefs or attitudes about something we desire or like. Our
values very often underlie our moral rules. If my moral rule is be honest,
then my value is .alues only express what it is that we believe has value.
Being a moral person requires our knowing how to make good moral decisions by
using ethical standards and critical thinking. Sometimes we must choose between
what we want to be and what we want or desire. Very often what we have the right to
do is not identical with what the right thing to do is. There is not one single decision
making procedure which works.
