Now, researchers at the University of Missouri have found that activity - based learning, rather than lecture - based, imporves student creativity and learning by allowing students to use technology to 【小题1】 their own original ideas. Isa Jahnke, associate professor in the MU College of Education's school of Information Science and Learning Technologies, collaborated with former doctoral student Julia Liebscher to study how higher education professors in Europe use mobile 【小题2】 in their classes. She found that student creativity was most enhanced by professors who allowed their students to use technology in a team setting to come up with an unusual product or 【小题3】. For example, one group of students in a history class developed an app that virtually teaches users about the history 【小题4】 the Berlin Wall. Rather than simply lecturing the material to the students, Jahnke found that allowing them to use technology in a collaborative way enhanced the students' creativity and 【小题5】 of the content. "This research is useful for professors to rethink how they 【小题6】 their existing courses," Jahnke said. "We need to shift away from purely lecture-based learning where students are just consumers of information toward a more meaningful 【小题7】 approach with technology where students are able to come up with creative and new solutions in a team setting." Jahnke added that there are resources at MU, such as the Teaching For Learning Center, to help professors 【小题8】 their course designs in the ever-changing educational landscape. "If we have universities that are producing more creative-thinking students, then we have more people who can help come up with 【小题9】 for all of society's grand challenges," Jahnke said. "Creativity will lead to better inventors, managers and business owners, but first we need to ask ourselves as educators if we are using technology to put our students in positions to be 【小题10】 in the first place."

阅读理解 　　Pronouncing a language is a skill. Every normal person is expert in the skill of pronouncing his own language, but few people are even moderately proficient(熟练的) at pronouncing foreign languages. Now there are many reasons for this, some obvious, some perhaps not so obvious. But I suggest that the fundamental reason why people in general do not speak foreign languages very much better than they do is that they fail to grasp the true nature of the problem of learning to pronounce, and consequently(因而，所以) never set about tackling(对付，处理) it in the right way. Far too many people fail to realize that pronouncing a foreign language is a skill, one that needs careful training of a special kind, and one that cannot be acquired by just leaving it to take care of itself. I think even teachers of language, while recognizing the importance of a good accent, tend to neglect(忽视), in their practical teaching, the branch of study concerned with speaking the language. So the first point I want to make is that English pronunciation must be taught; the teacher should be prepared to devote some of the lesson time to this, and by his whole attitude to the subject should get the student to feel that here is a matter worthy of receiving his close attention. So, there should be occasions when other aspects of English, such as grammar or spelling, are allowed for the moment to take second place. 　　Apart from this question of the time given to pronunciation, there are two other requirements for the teacher: the first, knowledge; the second, technique. 　　It is important that the teacher should be in possession of the necessary information. This can generally be obtained from books. It is possible to get from books some idea of the mechanics of speech, and of what we call general phonetic(语音的) theory. It is also possible in this way to get a clear mental picture of the relationship between the sounds of different languages, between the speech habits of English people and those, say, of your students. Unless the teacher has such a picture, any comments he may make on his students pronunciation are unlikely to be of much use, and lesson time spent on pronunciation may well be time wasted. 1．What does the writer actually say about pronouncing foreign languages? [　　] A．Only a few people are really proficient. B．No one is really an expert in the skill. C．There aren't many people who are even fairly good. D．There are even some people who are moderately proficient. 2．The writer argues that going about the problem of pronunciation in the wrong way is ________. [　　] A．an obvious cause of not grasping the problem correctly B．a fundamental consequence of not speaking well C．a consequence(推断) of not grasping the problem correctly D．not an obvious cause of speaking poorly 3．The best way of learning to speak a foreign language, he suggests, is by ________. [　　] A．picking it up naturally as a child B．learning from a native speaker C．not concentrating on pronunciation as much D．undertaking systematic(系统化的) work 4．What is it that teachers are said to be inclined(趋向) to forget? [　　] A．The practical teaching of languages. B．The importance of a good accent. C．The principle of phonetic theory. D．The teaching of pronunciation in the classroom. 5．The value the student puts on correct speech habits depends on ________. [　　] A．how closely he attends to the matter B．whether it is English that is being taught C．his teacher's approach(途径) to pronunciation D．the importance normally given to grammar and spelling
