21、, he ascribed its chief importance【 21】what might be considered a third basic concept of education: to train the mind to think,【22】what it is thinking about. The key is not【23】it knows but how it【24】any new fact or argument. “An educated man,“ Aristotle wrote in On the Parts of Animals, “should be a
22、ble to【25】a fair offhand judgment as to the goodness or badness of the method used by a professor in his exposition. To be【26】is in fact to be able to do this.“The Aristotle view of education as a【27】has become the conventionally worthy answer today【28】college presidents and other academic leaders a
23、re asked what an education should be. An educated man, says Harvard President Bok,【29】a deep breath, must have a “curiosity in【30】the unfamiliar and unexpected, an open-mindedness in entertaining opposing points of view,【31】for the ambiguity that surrounds so many important issues, and a willingness
24、 to make the best decision he can in the fact of uncertainty and doubt.“This is an approach that appears to【32】more importance to the process of learning【33】to the substance of what is learned.

It is not uncommon for students to【51】easygoing and friendly relationships with thei
28、r professors. The casual professor is not necessarily a poor【52】and is still【53】by students. 【54】students may be in a subordinate position, some professors treat them as【 55】【56】, no matter how egalitarian professors would like to be, they【57】are in a position of authority.Professors may establish s
29、ocial【58】with students outside of the classroom,【59】in the classroom they maintain the instructors role. A professor may have coffee one day with students but the【60】day expect them to meet a deadline for the submission of a paper or to be prepared for a discussion or an exam. The professor may give

31、hers【64】changes, they must appropriately【65】their behavior and attitudes.Many teachers believe that the responsibility for learning lies【66】the student. If a long reading assignment is given, instructors expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss i
32、t in class or give an examination. (Courses are not【67】merely for students to pass exams, ) The ideal student is considered to be one【68】is motivated to learn for the sake of learning, not the one interested only in getting high grades. Grade-conscious students may be frustrated with teachers who do
33、 not believe it is necessary to grade every assignment. Sometimes homework is returned with brief written【69】but without a grade. Even if a【70】is not given, the student is responsible for learning the material assigned.85 For the people who have never traveled across the Atlantic the voyage is a fan
34、tasy. But for the people who cross it frequently one crossing of the Atlantic is very much like another, and they do not make the voyage for the【C1】_of its interest.

35、ially lazy and went to bed【C4】_earlier than usual. When I【C5】_my cabin, I was surprised【C6】_that I was to have a companion during my trip, which made me feel a little unhappy. I had expected【C7】_but there was a suitcase【C8 】 _mine in the opposite comer. I wondered who he could be and what he would b
