19、 them become good thinkers. To do this, teachers and actually everyone else in a community, should play a role as a “cognitive coach” to students, helping develop good thinkers among your youth.The best way for you to become a cognitive coach is to seek out and engage school children and adolescents

20、 in meaningful conversations. The objective here is to get kids talking about what they think, how they feel, and what they believe whenever and wherever you may find them. It may be in a classroom. It may be at the grocery store. It may be at a basketball game. It doesnt matter where as long as you

21、 engage students in a topical conversation and, hopefully even a debate. Mainly, you want to encourage students to voice their opinion about things. Get them to take a position on “this thing, or that thing” and ask them to support their position with evidence. Curiously enough, the simple process o

22、f engaging students in real life conversations and debates will serve to strengthen what they have learned in the classroom, and help them create their own knowledge about a subject or a topic.Learning indicates that a student has been exposed to material, understands the material, and can recall th

23、e information. Knowledge, on the other hand, goes beyond recall and includes information processing, application to other situations, consideration of meaning, and contrasting with other concepts. Naturally, the topic of conversation you engage in with one of your learners will differ from student t

24、o student, and in the level of complexity based on childs age and developmental level. Even a kindergartener has an opinion about things that are going on in his or her life. Engaging in conversation with any members of your learning community in ways that get at what they have learned and what they

25、 know will help them develop higher order reasoning skills.A students synthetic thinking (综合思维) process occurs when a respected adult asks a question, particularly a question that requires reflection. I think all adults in a community have a responsibility to help children with this process, with th

26、e goal of producing independent thinkers.24. According to the writer, what most helps develop students thinking? A. Enlarging ones knowledge. B. Learning from respected adults. C. Attending instructional programs. D. Making evidence-based arguments.25. Which is the best question raised by a cognitiv

27、e coach? A. What have you learnt recently? B. Will you pay by the credit card? C. Where are you going this weekend? D. How do you like this basketball team?26. The writer mentions a kindergartener in Paragraph 3 in order to _. A. emphasize the importance of being a good thinker B. suggest that educa

28、tion should start at an early age C. prove that even children have their own ways of thinking D. explain the necessity of choosing proper conversation topics.27. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To state an education idea. B. To assess a teaching strategy. C. To introduce a learning metho

29、d. D. To compare different education methods. CCopycat Elephants You may have seen a talking parrot on a TV show, in a movie, or even in someones home. The parrot has learned to copy sounds that people make. Birds are not the only animals that can copy the noises they hear. Dolphins, bats, and some

30、apes also copy sounds. Now we can add elephants to this list of copycats. Dr. Joyce Poole is a zoologist. She studies the sounds of elephants. While she was in Kenya, she would hear strange noises made by Mlaika after sunset. Mlaika was a 10-year-old African elephant. Mlaika lived near a highway. Dr

31、. Poole says, I could not tell the difference between Mlaikas call and the distant truck noise. She and other scientists studied Mlaikas sounds. It turned out that Mlaika was copying the sounds of the trucks driving by. Why would Mlaika copy trucks that she heard going by on the highway? Animals tha

32、t are able to copy sounds may enjoy practicing new sounds. When they are kept outside of their natural environment, they may copy unusual sounds. That may be why an elephant would copy the sound of a truck. Mlaika was not the only copycat elephant, Dr. Poole says. Calimero is a 23-year-old male Afric
