A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports

10、 car in a dealers showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted. As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His f

11、ather told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat frustrated, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young mans name embossed in gold. Angrily, he

12、raised his voice to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?” He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible. Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thou

13、ght perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to e home immediately and take care of things. When he arr

14、ived at his fathers house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his fathers important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago.

15、k of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealers name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words “PAID IN FULL”.

16、 what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

20、esearch. Dr. Helen Lees, from Stirling Universitys school of education, says that “enforced silence” is seen as a punishment and often acts to suppress childrens natural ability. But she says that teaching children about the benefits of “enforced silence”deliberate stillness that gives them the oppo

21、rtunity to focus and reflect in a stress-free environmentcan have a significant effect on pupils concentration and behavior. It is the latest in a string of researches to establish a link between the classroom environment and pupils academic ability. A study almost a decade ago in London found that

22、childrens exam results were cut by as much as a third if they were taught in noisy classrooms. Teaching unions have also called for a limit of 26 to be put on classroom temperatures because teachers and pupils struggle to work in hot conditions, and some educationalists claim that too much clutter o

23、n classroom walls can prevent children from concentrating. Dr. Lees said, “When we take some research on school settings and put it all together, what we see is that education without silence does not make much sense. In areas of better learning outes, better self- confidence and well-being measures

24、, enforced silence in a persons life and an individuals education is shown throughout the relevant research to be a benefit.” Dozens of schools across Britain have already introduced periods of “reflective silence” into the timetable.

28、ng silence is beneficial for people C.Using enforced silence is effective punishment D.Keeping quiet in class improves academic performance To learn to think is to learn to question. Those who dont question never truly think for themselves. These are simple rules that have governed the advancement o

29、f science and human thought since the beginning of time. Advancements are made when thinkers question theories and introduce new ones. Unfortunately, it is often the great and respected thinkers who end up slowing the progress of human thought. Aristotle was a brilliant philosopher whose theories ex

30、plained much of the natural world, often incorrectly. He was so esteemed by the scientific munity that even 1,200 years after his death, scientists were still trying to build upon his mistakes rather than correct them! Brilliant minds can intimidateupanding thinkers who are not confident of their ab

31、ilities. They often believe they are inferior to the minds of giants such as Aristotle, leading many to accept current paradigms instead of questioning them. I, like many thinkers of the past, once believed in my mental inferiority. I was certain that my parents, my teachersadults in generalwere alw

32、ays right. They were like a textbook to me; I didnt question what was written on those pages. I respected them, and accepted whatever they told me. But that attitude soon changed. My minds independence was first stimulated in the classroom. Astern,65yearold elementaryschool science teacher once told me that light is a type of wave. I confidently went through years of school believing that light is a wave. One day, however, I heard the German exchange student mention that light co
