One afternoon about six years ago, I was entering my new school
(Beaver Country Day School) and passing some middle school classrooms. I asked myself, “Every adult in the school sits in a chair that is on wheels. Why aren’t student chairs on wheels?” If chairs on wheels are more comfortable for adults and make them more productive, it seems reasonable they would have the same influence on students. So, we ordered some for the middle school and the results were immediately satisfying. Teachers and students alike loved the new chairs. To increase flexibility
(灵活性) in the room, we put all classroom furniture (家具) on wheels and made all the walls writeable with long whiteboards.
All of this was easy to do, and not very expensive. The next question I asked myself was: if it’s this easy, why don’t schools pay more attention to learning environments? When new office buildings open, it is common for newspapers to review them and describe how they meet the needs of today’s workers. However, classrooms are still the same as they were more than 100 years ago.
Organizations like Steelcase and Gensler Architects have done in-depth research on workspaces, and Steelcase has paid special attention to schools; they find that workspace and classroom design send powerful messages. When students enter a room with desks or tables in a row and a board at the front, the message is that today we will be on the receiving end of instruction. While with all chairs and tables on wheels and all walls writeable, the message is that today we are going to create something.
As we build schools, let’s think in fresh ways about the student experience. Let’s give the same amount of research-driven thought to the school environment as we do to our best work environments. Let’s put thoughtful student-centered design at the forefront of school design. Maybe then it will be worth the time to write reviews of exciting, new classroom environments.
32. What happened to Beaver Country Day School about six years ago? A. Students moved into new classrooms. B. All the classroom walls were repainted. C. Teachers asked for wheeled chairs in their office. D. Wheeled furniture was introduced into classrooms.
33. What does the underlined word “they” in the first paragraph refer to? A. Adults.
B. Chairs on wheels. C. Students.
D. Middle school classrooms.
34. How did the author explain the advantage of the new classroom design?
A. By listing numbers. B. By offering examples. C. By showing research findings.
D. By asking questions and answering them.
35. What did the author suggest doing when building schools? A. Using the latest technology. B. Avoiding workspace design. C. Doing scientific research first. D. Considering students’ needs first.

Deciding whether or not to take part in an extracurricular (课外的) activity can be a challenge (挑战). Before signing up to play on the volleyball team, first consider the advantages and disadvantages of such a decision.
36 Students are successful when they take part in many activities. They do well in their classes and feel more connected to school. Research shows that students in extracurricular activities have better attendance and grades.
Extracurricular activities also help students make new friends and lasting relationships. 37 Even though we became friends a long time ago, we are still close today.
While these activities have many advantages, students should consider the downside as well. 38 Extracurricular activities can be too much for students who do not practice good time management. Students need to be good at managing their time between different activities.
Another downside to extracurricular activities involves transportation. 39 This situation limits students’ extracurricular choices to those outside the school and closer to home. A few of my classmates joined the school’s cultural club. They later discovered that it met after school. These students dropped out of the club because they had to catch their buses.
Only you can decide if extracurricular activities are right for you. Activities outside the school can help you succeed in many areas of your life. 40 Are you up for a challenge?
A. We were both in the eight-and-under age group. B. Some clubs or sports meet before or after school. C. One downside is that it can create a busy life for students. D. Many students are tired from all the things they have to do. E. Taking part in extracurricular activities has many advantages. F. I met my best friend when we were on the YMCA swim team.
G. However, you need good time management skills to deal with a busy life.
