　　Man has a big brain（脑）. He can think, learn and speak. Scientists once thought that men are different from animals because they can think and learn. Now they know that dogs, cats and birds can learn, too. They are beginning to understand that men are different from animals because they can speak. But animals can't. They make noises when they are afraid, or unhappy. Apes（猿）can even understand some things more quickly than men. One or two of them have learned a few words. But they cannot join words to make sentences. They cannot think like us because they have no language. Language is a wonderful thing. With its help, men can make anything even our modem world. Every child can speak his own language very well when he is four or five, but no animal learns to speak. How does a child learn it? Scientists do not really know. They only know that man can speak because he has a brain.

 One morning, Wu Li discovered that her classroom had changed. She found that the desks were no longer in rows(排), but pushed together to make eight bigger desks. She was too excited about it for the first two days and she couldn’t listen to the teachers carefully. But soon she and her classmates got used to this new classroom arrangement (安排). “Now our class is quieter,” said Wu. “What’s more, we can come up with our own ideas and learn more through discussion. It’s a better way to study.”

Li Yu liked it, too. He said, “Group members first discuss, and then show ourselves in front of the whole class. It makes us believe in ourselves.” It was part of a reform (改革) at Li’s school—Baita Secondary School. The school made this reform because they wanted to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances to discuss. “Our school hopes it can improve students’ abilities (能力) to study by themselves and work in groups,” said Zhang Yong, the principal of the school.

However, the reform has demanded (要求) more from teachers. Now they have only about 15 minutes to give the lesson which should be taught in 45 minutes before. It is difficult to teach in such a short time. The teachers have to find better ways to teach more effectively.

“The reform demands more, but I’m sure it is helpful,” added Mr Zhang.

1.After the new classroom arrangement it was easier for Wu Li and her classmates to ______ in class.

A. discuss with each other               B. sit in the classroom

C. push desks together                  D. teach a lesson

A.简单地                      B. 明确地       C. 有效地                  D. 认真地

4.The teachers __________ after the reform.

A. have to find better ways to teach

B. find it easier to teach

C. spend 45 minutes explaining to the students

D. are happy to explain for only 15 minutes
