company at plays in concerts,but she wont go anywhere unless she can pay her own way.,Passage One,I hate to go alone,so we both stay home.It all seems so silly.Pat sees the situation differently.After

equality between students and staff,and has few rules.Sun School believes that the healthy growth of a child is more important than academic success.It offers a variety of lessons and activities for students to choose from and free time for children to follow their own interests.Classes are small,and based on the individual needs of each child.The imetable is fixed,but democratically decided,and students makes all the decisions that affect the school,including rules,the timetable adn accepting or rejecting new stuents and teachers.,Passage Two,Participating in these meetings gives the children an understanding of democratic decision-making and helps them develop their skills of augument and persuation.The most important advantage of the school meeting is that it shows the children that the school is really theirs.They have the right to decide on changes.And the schools success or failure depends on their decisions and their behavior.,Passage Two,Sun School employs no cooking or cleaning staff.These jobs are done by students and teachers.Decorating and simple repairs are also done by the students.It is believed that for the school to truly belong to those who use it,they must take responsibility for its maintenance.,Passage Two,30.What value is Sun Scholl based on?,31.What is characteristic of the schools decision-making process?,32.Why does Sun School ask students to do its maintenance?,Passage Three,Well,to continue,as I mentioned earlier,there is also research that demonstrates that individuals perform worse,not better,on tasks when other people are there.R.W.Harburt did an interesting experiment.He had his subjects learn a finger maze.Thi is a game in which you indicate with your finger the way through a complex system of passages or paths.The subjects who had an audience did worse than the subjects who did alone.,Passage Three,Now how can we explain these very different results?It seemed very confusing for a long time.Social psychologist,John Roberts,finally cleared up the confusion about why people sometimes perform better and sometimes worse in front of an audience.Roberts found that the presence of an audience facilitates what you already know how to do.That is,if you know what you are doing,having an audience helps you do it better.But if you dont already know how to do something,you will probably make some mistakes and you will make mistakes for a longer time if you have an audience.Thats exactly what happened to the subjects who were learning the finger maze.,Passage Three,So,if you are doing well,having an audience increases the chances that you will continue to do well.If you are doing badly,having an audience increase the chances that you will continue to do badly.Roberts cleverly pointed out that when you are first learning something,you are better off working alone than practicing with other people.,Passage Three,33.What did the speaker probably discuss before coming to this part of the talk?,34.When does the presence of an audience facilitate your performance according to Roberts?,35.What does Roberts think is a better way to learn new things?,
