17、re are other _26_ bodies out there besides the moon and stars. One of the most _27_ of these is a comet (彗星).Comets were formed around the same time the Earth was formed. They are _28_ ice and other frozen liquids and gases. _29_ these dirty snowballs begin to orbit the sun, just as the planets do.A

18、s a comet gets closer to the sun, some gases in it begin to unfreeze. They _30_ dust particles from the comet to form a huge cloud. As the comet gets even nearer to the sun, a solar wind blows the cloud behind the comet, thus forming its tail. The tail and the _31_ fuzzy (模糊的) atmosphere around a co

23、ased on the following passage. Scholars of the information society are divided over whether social inequality decreases or increases in an information-based society. However, they generally agree with the idea that inequality in the information society is _36_ different from that of an industrial so

24、ciety. As informatization progresses in society, the cause and structural nature of social inequality changes as well.It seems that the information society _37_ the quantity of information available to the members of a society by revolutionizing the ways of using and exchanging information. But such

25、 a view is a _38_ analysis based on the quantity of information supplied by various forms of the mass media. A different _39_ is possible when the actual amount of information _40_ by the user is taken into account. In fact, the more information _41_ throughout the entire society, the wider the gap

26、becomes between information haves and information have-nots , leading to digital divide.According to recent studies, digital divide has been caused by three major _42_: class, sex, and generation. In terms of class, digital divide exists among different types of workers and between the upper and mid

27、dle classes and the lower class. With _43_ to sex, digital divide exists between men and women.

29、hildren, he insisted it would solve three problems at once: feed the hungry masses, reduce the population during a severe depression, and stimulate the restaurant business. Even as a satire (讽刺), it seems disgusting and shocking in America with its child-centered culture. But actually, the country i

30、s closer to his proposal than you might think.B) If you spend much time with educators and policy makers, youll hear a lot of the following words: standards, results, skills, self-control, accountability, and so on. I have visited some of the newer supposedly effective schools, where children shout

31、slogans in order to leam self-control or must stand behind their desk when they cant sit still.C) A look at what goes on in most classrooms these days makes it abundantly clear that when people think about education, they are not thinking about what it feels like to be a child, or what makes childho

32、od an important and valuable stage of life in its own right.D) Im a mother of three, a teacher, and a developmental psychologist. So Ive watched a lot of childrentalking, playing, arguing, eating, studying, and being young. Heres what Ive come to understand. The thing that sets children apart from a

33、dults is not their ignorance, nor their lack of skills. Its their enormous capacity for joy. Think of a 3-year-old lost in the pleasures of finding out what he can and cannot sink in the bathtub, a 5-year-old beside herself with the thrill of putting together strings of nonsensical words with her be

34、st friends, or an 11-year-old completely absorbed in a fascinating comic strip. A childs ability to become deeply absorbed in something, and derive intense pleasure from that absorption, is something adults spend the rest of their lives trying to return to.E) A friend told me the following story. On

35、e day, when he went to get his 7-year-old son from soccer practice, his kid greeted him with a downcast face and a sad voice. The coach had criticized him for not focusing on his soccer drills. The little boy walked out of the school with his head and shoulders hanging down. He seemed wrapped in sad

36、ness. But just before he reached the car door, he suddenly stopped, crouching (蹲伏) down to peer at something on the sidewalk. His face went down lower and lower, and then, with complete joy he called out, Dad. Come here. This is the strangest bug Ive ever seen. It has, like, a million legs. Look at

37、this. Its amazing. He looked up at his father, his features overflowing with energy and delight. Cant we stay here for just a minute? I want to find out what he does with all those legs. This is the coolest ever. F) The traditional view of such moments is that they constitute a charming but irreleva

38、nt byproduct of youthsomething to be pushed aside to make room for more important qualities, like perseverance (坚持不懈), obligation, and practicality. Yet moments like this one are just the kind of intense absoiption and pleasure adults spend the rest of their lives seeking. Human lives are governed b

39、y the desire to experience joy. Becoming educated should not require giving up joy but rather lead to finding joy in new kinds of things: reading novels instead of playing with small figures, conductingexperiments instead of sinking cups in the bathtub, and debating serious issues rather than string

40、ing together nonsense words, for example. In some cases, schools should help children find new, more grown-up ways of doing the same things that are constant sources of joy: making art, making friends, making decisions.G) Building on a childs ability to feel joy, rather than pushing it aside, wouldn

41、t be that hard. It would just require a shift in the education worlds mindset (思维模式). Instead of trying to get children to work hard, why not focus on getting them to take pleasure in meaningful, productive activity, like making things, working with others, exploring ideas, and solving problems? The

42、se focuses are not so different from the things in which they delight.H) Before you brush this argument aside as rubbish, or think of joy as an unaffordable luxury in a nation where there is awful poverty, low academic achievement, and high dropout rates, think again. The more horrible the school ci

43、rcumstances, the more important pleasure is to achieving any educational success.I) Many of the assignments and rules teachers come up with, often because they are pressured by their administrators, treat pleasure and joy as the enemies of competence and responsibility. The assumption is that childr

44、en shouldnt chat in the classroom because it hinders hard work; instead, they should leain to delay gratification (快乐) so that they can pursue abstract goals, like going to college.J) Not only is this a boring and awful way to treat children, it makes no sense educationally. Decades of research have

45、 shown that in order to acquire skills and real knowledge in school, kids need to want to learn. You can force a child to stay in his or her seat, fill out a worksheet, or practice division. But you cant force the child to think carefully, erjoy books, digest complex information, or develop a taste

46、for learning. To make that happen, you have to help the child find pleasure inlearningto see school as a source of joy.K) Adults tend to talk about learning as if it were medicine; unpleasant, but necessary and good for you. Why not instead think of learning as if it were foodsomething so valuable t

47、o humans that they have evolved to experience it as a pleasure?L) Joy should not be trained out of children or left for after-school programs. The more difficult a childs life circumstances, the more important it is for that child to find joy in his or her classroom. Pleasure is not a dirty word. And it doesnt run counter to the goals of public education. It is, in fact, the precondition.46. It will not be difficult to make learning a source of joy if educators change t
