【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 o acquire knowledge. Teachers and professors are human beings and are therefore not perfect. No one knows the correct answer to every question even when you limit the questions to a certain field of study. Having certain skepticism (質(zhì)疑) about what they are being taught can help students to make the teachers even better by correcting mistakes and misinformation.Students certainly have a huge role in their own abilities to learn. Teachers should act more as guides along the way rather than try to force each student to learn. The best teachers in the world cannot teach an unmotivated student. If the teacher, for whatever reason, cannot motivate the student, then the student must somehow find a way to motivate himself or herself.One method of doing this is by being an active rather than a passive student. The more the student involves himself or herself in the act of studying, the better he or she can learn. One of the best ways to bee more active is simply to ask the teacher or professor questions. Students who passively sit in a classroom and take everything that the teacher says for granted are not fully using their mental capacities to learn.Better education es from teachers who are able to get their students to think about a subject rather than merely absorb a certain amount of information. Having a healthy skepticism can improve a student39。s ability to both think and absorb knowledge in a learning situation.Teachers are human beings and no one is one hundred percent right all of the time, even in a classroom situation. Perhaps a teacher would simply unconsciously say the wrong word or pass on some misinformation that the teacher truly believed was correct. A student39。s question could prevent an entire classroom from being confused or misinformed.There is of course a fine balance between a student having a healthy skepticism, and just being a downright skeptic. But with the proper attitude toward learning and a little skepticism, both the students and teachers can improve upon the learning process and maximize learning efficiency.60.

Often they relive these experiences.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the far, the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of meomories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers’ troubling memories after wars.They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. “Some memories can ruin people’s e back to you when you don’t want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually e with very painful emotions,”said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry(精神病學)at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve（減輕）a lot of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us avoid the mistakes in the past. “All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I am not sure we’d want to wipe those memories out.”said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.’s the main idea of this passage?A. People often suffer from bad memories. B.
