38．Many studies have shown the learning-by-teaching effect．Students who spend time teaching what they've learned show better understanding and ability to remember knowledge than students who simply spend the same time re-studying．But why does teaching help？
Researchers led by Aloysius Wei Lun Koh did a study to test their idea that teaching improves the teacher's learning because it forces the teacher to retrieve （檢索）what they've learned．In other words，they believe that bringing to mind what we've learned leads to deeper and longer-lasting acquisition （獲得）of that information than spending more time re-studying．
The researchers asked 124 students to spend ten minutes studying a text with numbers on a topic which is completely new to them．They told the students they could take notes while studying，but would teach the material afterwards without notes．After studying the text，the students were divided into four groups．In one group the students spent five minutes delivering a lesson on the study material without notes．The other groups either spent the same time completing arithmetic （算術）problems，teaching with a script （講稿）or writing down all they could remember from the text-a form of retrieval practice．A week later，all the students returned to the lab for a surprise test of their knowledge and understanding of the text．
The important finding is that the teaching-without-notes group and the retrieval-practice group outperformed the group that completed arithmetic problems and the group that taught with a script．In fact，the performance of the teaching-without-notes group and the retrieval-practice group was comparable．
The researchers said the result shows that the benefits of the learning-by-teaching method are caused by retrieval practice；that is，the learning-by-teaching method works only when the teaching involves retrieving the taught materials．
The new findings have a practical suggestion for how the learning-by-teaching method is used in education．In order to make sure that students learn and remember an educational material，they should internalize （內化）the material before presenting it to others，rather than depend on notes during the presentation process．
（1）Why did the researchers do the study？
A．To compare different methods of learning．
B．To test whether teaching can improve learning．
C．To find out the reason why people like teaching．
D．To check the reason for learning-by-teaching effect．
（2）Paragraph 3 is mainly about．
A．how long the study lasted
B．who took part in the study
C．what result the study showed
D．how the study was performed
（3）What can we learn from the study？
A．Teaching with a script is the best way of learning．
B．Teaching benefits learning because of retrieval practice．
C．Solving arithmetic problems is harder than doing other tasks．
D．Presenting with notes can help students remember a material．組卷：90引用：2難度：0.1 -
39．The Father，His Son and Their Doakey Narrator 1：One bright day in a long ago springtime，a farmer and his son set off for the marketplace.They felt very happy to be together and they walked along slowly，talking and enjoying the sunshine.Their donkey followed behind them happily as they made their way over the long and dusty road to town.
Farmer：It's a wonderful day to be out and about in the world，don't you think？
Son：Surely I do，Father.I can't wait to get to the marketplace.I want to buy a jam cake and a new slingshot（彈弓）.
Farmer：And I hope to get some fat red hens and a bag of good yellow corn to plant.
Narrator 2：And so the farmer and his son continued their journey excitedly，thinking good thoughts about the day ahead.The donkey walked along behind them.
Narrator 1：After a while they came upon an old woman，working in her garden by the roadside.
Farmer：（cheerfully） Good day，madam.
Old Woman：（with an angry voice）I will not wish you a good day，sir.
Farmer：（confused） And why not？What have I done to you？
Old Woman：It is not what you have done to me，sir，but what you have done to that child of yours.How dare you make him walk with heavy steps through the dust（塵土） while that donkey prances along without a care in the world？You should be ashamed（羞愧的） of yourself，making the poor boy walk in this heat.
Farmer：（nervously） Why，yes，I see what you mean.I wonder that I did not think of it before.Here，son，climb right up on the donkey and rest your legs.
Narrator 2：Now the boy was not a bit tired，and he did not really wish to ride the donkey.But he was an agreeable boy，so he climbed up on the donkey's back，and the three continued their journey.
Narrator 1：After a while they met a pair of travelers coming along the road in their direction.
Traveler 1：Look at that rude boy，riding while his poor old father walks.
Traveler 2：What a good-for-nothing boy he must be!
Narrator 2：Hearing their words，the boy jumped right down into the road.
Son：Father，you must ride.I don't mind walking.
Farmer：（doubtfully）I guess you are right.Thank you，son.
Narrator 1：So with the father riding the donkey，and the boy walking along beside，the three continued their journey.
Narrator 2：After a while they nearly arrived at the town.A shopkeeper stood in his doorway and watched them pass.
Shopkeeper：I have never seen such a pair of fools!That strong little donkey can easily carry the two of you.Why does one walk when both of you could ride？
Narrator 1：The farmer and his son were both feeling a bit bewildered（困惑的） by this time，and only wished to be left alone，so they tried to ignore（不理會） the shopkeeper.This made the shopkeeper very angry，and he ran into the street.
Shopkeeper：Can't you hear me，you great selfish fool？Let your son ride with you.That donkey is a fine strong animal.It won't hurt him a bit!
Narrator 2：The farmer was sad hearing the shopkeeper's angry words，so he called to his son.
Farmer：Come，Son.Jump up behind me.We both can ride the rest of the way.
Narrator 2：The boy climbed up on the patient donkey behind his father，and the three continued on their journey.
Narrator 1：Very soon，they passed a group of townspeople，who began to laugh and shout at them.
Townspeople：What cruel（殘忍的）people you are!Are you trying to break that poor donkey's back？Shame on you!
Narrator 2：The farmer and his son jumped quickly down off the donkey's back and looked at each other.They did not know what to do.
Townspeople：The donkey has carried you for miles.Why don't you try carrying him for a change？ （laughing）
Farmer：（with frustration） All right，all right!If it will make you happy we will carry the donkey!
Son：But Father，how will we do it？He will not like it.He will surely kick us!And he is far too heavy.
Farmer：We only need a stout pole and some rope.We can lash the donkey's feet to the pole.We can each lift one end of the pole and carry our donkey to the marketplace.We have only a short way to go now.
Son：（doubtfully） It might work.
Townspeople：Go find a stout pole.And bring some rope.Hurry!
Narrator 1：The townspeople rushed to their homes and quickly found a strong pole and some rope.They stood by and watched as the farmer and his son tried to tie（系） the donkey's feet to the pole.
Narrator 2：This was not an easy thing to do.No one had asked the donkey about the plan，and he clearly wanted no part of it.He kicked and bucked and brayed.But at last he was tied fast to the pole.
Narrator 1：The farmer took one end of the heavy pole and lifted it to his shoulder.His son did likewise（同樣的）.With staggering steps，they continued on their journey.
Narrator 2：After a few minutes，they came to a bridge over a river.The water gushed noisily under the bridge.The sound made the poor donkey afraid，who was feeling rather sick from traveling in this upside-down way.
Narrator 1：The donkey began to kick，trying to free himself.Suddenly，the ropes broke and the poor donkey went flying over the side of the bridge and into the rushing water below.
Narrator 2：The farmer and his son ran down to the bank of the river.But there was nothing they could do.The water was fast and deep，and the donkey quickly sank（下沉）.They couldn't see it very soon.
Townspeople：Look what has happened!Look what you have done!
Farmer：（Sadly） Oh no!We have lost our donkey.This is awful!
Son：（crying） Our poor donkey has died.It is all our fault（錯誤）.
Farmer：You are right.We made a mistake.
Narrator 1：And so the farmer and his son turned sadly toward their home，having learned a painful lesson.
