15、J. was the most celebrated troublemaker in his town. Teachers literally cringed when they saw his name posted on their classroom lists. I met T. J. for the first time when all the students at school were attending ACE training. At first, he showed no interest in the discussion. But slowly, the inter
16、active games drew him in. T. J. had some brilliant thoughts on those situations, which were welcomed by his group. By the end of the activity, the other students on the team were impressed with his concern and ideas and elected T. J. co-chairman of the team. When T. J. showed up at school on Monday
17、morning, a group of teachers were expressing their disagreements to the school principal about his being elected co-chairman. The principal reminded them that the purpose of the program was to uncover any positive feeling and strengthen its practice until true change can take place. The teachers lef
18、t the meeting, firmly convinced that failure was unavoidable. Two weeks later, T. J. and his friends led a group of 70 students to collect food They collected a school record: 2,854 cans of food in just two hours. The local newspaper covered the event with a full-page article the next day. That news
19、paper story was posted on the main bulletin board at school, where everyone could see it. T. J. ,s picture was up there for doing something great. T. J. started showing up at school every day and answered questions from teachers for the first time. The event he started now yields 9,000 cans of food
20、in one day, taking care of 70 percent of the need for food for one year. T, J. reminds us that a bird with a broken wing only needs mending. But once it has healed, it can fly higher than the rest. T. J. got a job. He became productive. He is flying quite nicely these days.24, What do we know about

C The philosopher Robert Nozick used the idea of an experience machine to refute the view that good experiences are all we want from life. He thought that most of us would not choose the machine and prefe
24、r reality. But why? he encouraged us to ask There was no such thing as virtual(虚拟的) reality(VR) when he was writing. But now we can give ourselves computer generated experiences that are like the real thing. The question raised by Nozick has become a real issue. Why should you prefer the trouble and
25、 expense of actually visiting Angkor Wat or Niagara Falls when you can get all the experiences of being there by putting on goggles and a body suit? One answer is that the emotions you feel when you have a virtual experience are not as valuable. When you actually see Niagara Falls, you feel awe and
26、even fear in the face of an overpowering force of nature. Being in the presence of something that causes you these feelings is part of the pleasure. Visiting a virtual Niagara Falls may also cause you feelings of awe and fear but they are cheapened by your knowledge that the danger is not real and t
27、hat your mind is being tricked into thinking that it is. Reality also holds a potential for making discoveries that virtual reality lacks. Those who visit Angkor Wat hope to see more than they expected from tourist information, perhaps even discover what have been missed. Computer simulations(模拟) ,
28、however good, contain only what have been put into them. There is a further reason for preferring a real experience. Real experiences connect us to the deeds of past people and place us in contexts where history was made. Viewing an actual painting by Rembrandt is a more valuable experience than vie
29、wing a copy, however good. The genuine painting was the work of the man himself. We see his brush strokes on the canvas. We are in the presence of genius. Virtual reality can take us to places we can never go. It can be exciting, amusing and a good way of spending leisure time. But it will never be
