学生啦：课时作业（十二）Unit 4 Section III Extended readingProject阅读理解Five years ago,when I taught art at a school in Seattle,I used Tinkertoys as a test at thebeginning of a term to find out something about my students.I put a small set of Tinkertoys in frontof each student,and said,"Make something out of the Tinkertoys.You have 45 minutestoday-and 45 minutes each day for the rest of the week."A few students hesitated to start.They waited to see what the rest of the class would do.Several others checked the instructions and made something according to one of the model plansprovided.Another group built something out of their own imaginations.Once I had a boy who worked experimentally with Tinkertoys in his free time.His toyconstructions filled a shelf in the art classroom and a good part of his bedroom at home.I wasdelighted at the presence of such a student.Here was an exceptionally creative mind at work.Hispresence meant that I had an unexpected teaching assistant in class whose creativity would infect(感染)other students.Encouraging this kind of thinking has a downside.I ran the risk of losing those students whohad a different style of thinking.Without fail one would declare,"But I'm just not creative."“Do you dream at night when you're asleep？”“Oh,sure.”"So tell me one of your most interesting dreams."The student would tell something wildlyimaginative.Flying in the sky or in a time machine or growing three heads."That's prettycreative.Who does that for you？”“Nobody.I do it.”“Really--at night,when you're asleep？”“Try doing it in the daytime,.in class,okay？”1.The teacher used Tinkertoys in class in order toA.know more about the studentsB.make the lessons more excitingC.raise the students'interest in artD.teach the students about toy design2.What do we know about the boy mentioned in Paragraph 3?A.He liked to help his teacher.B.He preferred to study alone.C.He was active in class.D.He was imaginative.3.What does the underlined word"downside"in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A.Mistake.B.Drawback.C.Difficulty.D.Burden.4.Why did the teacher ask the students to talk about their dreams?
