　　A boy walked along Carver Street, singing a sad song, he walked with his head down. Once he looked up and noticed the sign across the empty street, painted on the side of an old house. On the sign a big woman with yellow hair and a five-mile smile held out a big bottle.“Coca-Cola. Drink Coca-Cola,”the sign said.

　　“Boy!”the silence was cut by a sudden cry. He turned around quickly to see who had called.

Proper arrangement of classroom space is important to encouraging interaction. Most of us have noticed how important physical setting is to efficiency and comfort in our work. College classroom space should be designed to encourage the activity of critical thinking.

We have entered the 21st century, but step into almost any college classroom and you step back in time at least a hundred years. Desks are normally in straight rows, so students can clearly see the teacher but not all their classmates. This assumption behind such an arrangement is obvious：Everything of importance comes from the teacher.

　　With a little imagination and effort, unless desks are fixed to the floor, the teacher can correct this situation and create space that encourages interchange among students. In small or standard- size classes，chairs，desks，and tables can be arranged in a variety of ways. The primary goal should be for everyone to be able to see everyone else. Large classes，particularly those held in lecture halls，unfortunately，allow much less flexibility.

Arrangement of the classroom should also make it easy to divide students into small groups for discussion or problem-solving exercises. Small classes with movable desks and tables present no problem. Even in large lecture halls，it is possible for students to turn around and form groups of four to six. Breaking a class into small groups provides more opportunities for students to interact with each other，think out loud，and see how other students’ thinking processes operate--all essential elements in developing new modes of critical thinking.

1．The primary purpose of desk rearrangement is           .

       A．for the teacher to divide students into small groups.

       B．to make it possible for students to interact with each other.

       C．for the teacher to find out how students think.

       D．to give students more opportunities to practice speaking.

2．The expression “step back in time at least a hundred years” in Paragraph 2 is intended to convey the idea that         .

       A．there is not much change in educational idea over the past hundred years

       B．critical thinking was encouraged even a century ago

       C．college classrooms often remind people of their college life

       D．a hundred years ago, desk arrangement in a classroom was quite different

3．The greatest advantage in allowing each student to find his own group might be that           

      A．learning is made comfortable in this way

       B．the teacher can easily remember students’ names and faces

       C．the teacher saves the trouble in doing that

       D．brighter students can help slower ones.

4．It is implied in the passage that           .

       A．students are allowed to changed groups throughout the course in John’s class

       B．classroom interaction between students is essential to the teachers

       C．a comfortable environment leads to higher working efficiency

       D．new kinds of desks and chairs should be made

5．The author mentioned John in the last paragraph in order to         

       A．create a comfortable setting for interaction
