Question

  Here's something to think about the next time you ask your teacher for help: trying hard to do schoolwork on your own can help you learn. According to a recent study,the more you try while you are learning new information,the better you can remember it later.

  This might surprise you. When teachers are presenting new information,they often give students lots of help. But a new study shows this may not be the best way to support learning. "Don't be too quick to get help when learning something new,"education expert Manu Kapur said. "Try to work on it your?self even if it means trying different ways." Kapur came up with the idea that trying hard can lead to better learning. Then he tested it out on students in Singapore. He separated students into two groups. In the first group,students were asked to solve maths problems with the teacher's help. In the second group,students were asked to solve the same problems by helping one another,instead of getting help from the teacher.

  With the teacher's help,students in the first group were able to find the correct answers. Students in the second group did not solve the problems cor?rectly. But they did come up with a lot of good ideas.

  The students were then tested on what they had learned. The group with?out any help from a teacher scored much higher than the group who had help. Kapur said working to find the answers helped students understand the process (過程) ，not just the solution.

  Kapur's advice for kids is to put a lot of effort (努力) into learning some?thing new rather than going to your teacher for help. "Simply doing a little work or nothing at all won't work,"says Kapur. "Try to solve a problem in as many ways as possible.”

Answer 1

1. A主旨大意題。文章首先提出，自己越努力解決問題，越能牢固記憶新知識。接著通過實驗結果證明了這一點：沒有老師幫助的學生在做數學題時，雖然沒有做對，但想出了不少好主意，且在考試中獲得較高的分數。最后作者再次通過研究者的話表明：要嘗試多種方法解決問題，多動腦。

2. B推理判斷題。根據第二段Manu Kapur說的話可知，他鼓勵學生們自己解決問題。

3. A推理判斷題。作者在第一段提出結論，在第二至第五段引用實驗來說明這一結論，在最后一段建議學生該怎么做。由此可知，作者通過實驗結果來證實文章觀點。
