• 2．Haley Curfman，25，of Blackwell，Oklahoma，is a teacher at Blackwell Public School and last year she bought a plain（朴素的） white dress，which she set up at a station in her classroom for her students to decorate，encouraging them to go and draw on the dress whenever they had free time.Haley set up a station at a table with the dress and some colored markers so that her students could draw on it，having first seen the idea on Pinterest.
     After the kids had finished the design，she then surprised them all by wearing the dress to class，sharing pictures of herself in it on Facebook in a post that has since been shared over 200，000 times.
     For teachers looking to do something similar for their own students，Haley said that she bought the dress off Amazon for less than ＄20 about six months ago and pre-washed the dress before she started the project.She used markers from Walmart.But she said these things can be bought in other places.She said，"To do the project，I set up a station at a table with the dress and markers.It takes anywhere from two weeks to a month to complete as we just work on it here and there when time allows.You'd better give the students enough time so they don't have to hurry."
     "Teachers have been sharing their dresses，T-shirts，etc.jye.ai me that they've been creating since the 1950s with the same idea.It is amazing，and I love the fact that you are sharing them with me!Thank you all so much for your kindness and support，" she wrote on Facebook.
     Asked why she came up with the idea，Haley told Scary Mommy. "We don't have art in our school，so，I always try to do little creative projects when possible."

• 3．Where in the classroom do you prefer to sit，and why？Scientists have discovered that seating preference not only shows students' personalities，but has a great influence on their school performance.Generally speaking，students show different attitudes depending on where they sit.Based on the research，scientists have developed a funnel-like（像漏斗的）model of "learning zones（区域）" to see the relationship between seating and active learning.
     In this model，the mouth of the funnel（A）is the best position for learning.Students in this front area prove to be the most active learners.They show a greater desire（渴求）for learning，which leads them to focus（集中注意力）better and take a more active part than the rest of the class.Those in the neck of the funnel（B） don't pay the same close attention，but they ask a lot of questions，partly because of the added confidence they feel from being in a safe zone，with others around them.Less desirable is the area "outside the funnel（C，D），" which refers to the side and the back rows，where students take a less active part in classroom activities and find it hard to focus their attention，falling asleep at times.
     Studies about learning zones suggest that a change in traditional seating plans can benefit students.In fact，a growing number of teachers have begun less traditional seating plans，such as "U-Type".There are no side and back areas，so teachers can expect their students to take part in activities more actively and increase student-teacher interaction（互动）.
  
  （1）According to scientists，students' learning is greatly influenced by

  .
  A．the number of students
  B．the time of class
  C．seating positions
  D．the size of the classroom
  （2）What advantage do the students sitting in Area B over those in Area C，D？

  
  A．sometimes fall asleep
  B．feel safe and confident
  C．seldom ask their teachers questions
  D．try to avoid looking directly at the teacher
  （3）Which of the following is TRUE according to studies in the last paragraph？

  
  A．An increasing number of teachers have started to use traditional seating plans.
  B．Changing the traditional seating plans can be beneficial to students.
  C．U-type is better than funnel-like model of "learning zones".
  D．If there are no side and back areas，students must be more active in learning.
  （4）From which is the text probably taken？

  
  A．An education magazine.
  B．An advertisement.
  C．A life newspaper.
  D．A science textbook.
