20、nds simple enough. But todays students, faced with the constant pressure to prepare for standardized tests, rarely have the chance to learn through problem-solving or to be involved in projects that improve skills that can be used in various settings.In response to demands from students, parents and

21、 employers, colleges and universities are adding hands-on experiences to the undergraduate curriculum.Arizona State University, where Im a professor of practice, is testing a curriculum across a dozen majors in which students learn nearly half of the subject matter through group projects.

23、 hands-on learning experiences being added by colleges to the undergraduate curriculum? Theyre often not accompanied by the guidance that students need to help them transfer what they learn. So students become adepts skilled in job interviews at describing what they did during a project, but they ha

24、ve difficulty talking about what they learned and how they can apply that to where they want to work.28. Why is the ability to drive mentioned in Paragraph 2?A.

Now a pair of psychologist has proven that there is indeed a link.As they report in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, William Maddux of INSEAD, a business school in Fontainebleau, France, and Adam Galinsky, of the Kellogg School of Managem

29、ent in Chicago, presented 155 American business students and 55 foreign ones studying in America with a test used by psychologists as a measure of creativity. Given a candle, some matches and a box of drawing pins, the students were asked to attach the candle to a cardboard wall so that no wax would

30、 drip on the floor when the candle was lit. (The solution is to use the box as a candleholder and fix it to the wall with the pin.)

32、deadlock because the buyer had been told he could not afford what the seller was told was his minimum price. Nevertheless, when both negotiators had lived abroad 70% struck a deal in which the seller was offered a management job at the petrol station in return for a lower asking price.
