Why Don't Students Like School?
Most of the teachers I know entered the job because they loved school as children. However, they are understandably discouraged when they find that some of their students don't like school much, and that they, the teachers, have great difficulty inspiring them. Why is it difficult to make school enjoyable for students?
As a matter of fact , the brain is not designed for thinking. It's designed to ask you not to have to think, because the brain is actually not very good at thinking. Thinking is slow and unreliable.People like to solve problems, but they do not like to work on problems that cannot be solved. If schoolwork is always just a bit too difficult for a student, it should be no surprise that he doesn't like school much.
What is the nature of being human? Many people would answer that it is our ability to reason that makes us different—birds can fly, fish can swim, and humans can think . (By thinking I mean solving problems, reasoning, reading something complex, or doing any mental work that requires some effort.) Shakespeare thought highly of our cognitive(认知) ability in Hamlet: “What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason!” Some three hundred years later, however, Henry Ford came up with a quite different opinion, “Thinking is the hardest work there is, which is the probable reason why so few people are interested in it.” They both had a point of view. Humans are good at certain types of reasoning, especially compared to other animals, but we hardly often exercise those abilities.Thinking is not only painful, as Ford noted, it's also slow and unreliable.
A. A cognitive scientist would add another point of view, “Humans don't think very often because our brains are designed not for thought but for escaping from thought.”
B. What sets us apart from other species?
C. Of course you could make each decision with care and thought.
D. However, people enjoy thinking if it is successful.
E. Therefore, teachers should reconsider how they encourage their students to think, in order to make thinking enjoyable enough for students to go after.
F. If we are all so bad at thinking, how does anyone get through the day?
G. They want to help their students feel the same excitement and passion for learning that they felt.

When another old cave is discovered in the south of France, it is not usually news. Rather, it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals, such as bison or wild cats. Other images depict birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals.
Early artists drawing these animals achieved a monumental and difficult task. They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or going on hands and knees into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex.
Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside.
Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated and are hardly recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered.
（1）Which title best summarizes the main idea of the passage?
A.Wild Animals in Art
B.Hidden Prehistoric Paintings
C.Exploring Caves Respectfully
D.Determining the Age of French Caves
（2）What does the underlined phrase “pays heed to” in paragraph 2 probably means?
A.discovers
B.watches
C.notices
D.buys
（3）Why was painting inside the Lascaux complex a difficult task?
A.It was completely dark inside.
B.The caves were full of wild animals.
C.Painting materials were hard to find.
D.Many painting spaces were difficult to reach.
（4）According to the passage, all of the following have caused damage to the paintings EXCEPT _______.
A.temperature changes
B.air movement
C.water
D.light
