6、. They are moving from the peaceful hills, mountains, fields, rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets, buildings, traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban areas has been going on for over two hundred years.In many countries, the main reason why people co
7、me to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town, people come to find work, and soon an industrial area begins to grow.

14、14 “You look like youve had a toothache for the last six weeks,“ said Nancy. “Are you OK?“ “Oh, sure.

15、erview, I impressed the principal and the English supervisor with confidence and enthusiasm even when they explained that the students assigned to me would be difficult and the program lacked books. The supervisor promised, “Dont worry, Ill mentor you, well work together.“On the eve of my first day,
16、 my mentor handed me a box of old books and said, “You might find something useful here. Dorothy, Im sorry, Ive accepted another job. I wont be here to help you.“ She headed to her office to pack, leaving me surprised.Teachers say the first weeks are easy, with students eager to make a good impressi
17、on, but day one shocked me. My students glazed eyes, angry faces and rude responses hinted we would have no honeymoon. Still, I believed my positive attitude would carry me. But it held no sway (控制) over kids biding their time until they could quit school forever. I shopped for motivational strategi
18、es and educated myself on teaching at-risk children. But the struggles only increased within two weeks, a lamp in my throat.One Sunday I was reading the following words, “The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry. So there was food every day for everyone,“ In those wor
19、ds, I found a sign that translated into “Don t worry. Youll make it until June.“At school, the kids and the job did not change that much. But I did, as faced each day with confidence. Nancy even noticed that I was smiling again. Several weeks later, the principal stopped to say, “I am impressed. Yes
20、terday, I stood outside your door. I never saw a teacher get as much out of those kids as you did.“Thank you, sir,“ I answered.

There are two types of cognition. The first
24、 is normal cognition: the ability to regain knowledge from memory. The second type of cognition is metacognition: the ability to know whether or not you know.Does this affect intelligent? In traditional education, intelligence is measured by cognitive ability. Some people can easily produce everythi
25、ng they know on a test. But others are awarded with poor grades and considered inferior. But does this inability make them any less intelligent? If the question came up on a task, they could refer to a book or a quick Google search. In reality theyre just as effective as the people that ace a test.
26、They just cant prove it as easily.Metacognition is more important to success than cognition. A person with poor cognitive ability, but great metacognition ability might do poorly in school, but when faced with a challenge, they understand their abilities and take the best course of action. For examp
27、le, when face with a question, a person with strong metacognition ability will deal with it like this. If he knows the answer, but cant come up with it, he can always do a bit of research. If he knows for sure that he doesnt know, then he can start educating himself. Because hes aware of his ignoran
28、ce, he doesnt act with foolish confidence. These people might not seem intelligent at first glance, but because they know what they know, they make better decisions and learn the most important things.However, people with great cognitive ability but poor metacognition ability may be considered excel
29、lent at a young age for acing every test and getting great SAT scores. Unfortunately, theyve been ruined by poor metacognition: they think they know everything but they really dont.

30、ips, showing disregard for persons with lower cognitive ability. They may make the worst decisions.The most important mental power is the ability to know what you dont know.

34、he key to solving the many challenges we face as a country from health care to education to the environment, and is fundamental to restoring economic growth and prosperity. But I would put it a slightly different way. We must find a way to rebuild the “innovation infrastructure“ in this country.The
35、problem is not that Americans aren t as inherently innovative as ever we are.

Such an innovation infrastructure thrived in the U.S. in the late 20th century as a collaboration that put Americans on the moon, and to the personal computer, the Internet, and the era of genomic medicine.Americans are ready and will
39、ing to embrace the goal of once again leading the world in innovation. This could be the moon shot for the next decade that unifies our country. However, we are at a tremendous disadvantage unless the innovation infrastructure of this country is rebuilt. This requires a new collaboration among gover
40、nment, industry and academia-one that is suited to the challenges and opportunities of the digital age, and that restores the bold risk taking and action orientation of earlier times. 23 According to the author, innovation in American has_.（A）gone completely lost nowadays（B） been weakened gradually（
