24、s the top of excellence in professional training where young skilled people from around the world compete in the skills of their various jobs measured against demanding international standard, which is hard to reach.The 21-year-old, who grew up in Englehart, Ont, didnt get a medal but the experience
25、 did wonders for his confidence. Sherrard had passion for carpentry (木工) and showed promise at a very young age. “I first got interested in woodmaking when I was in Grade 10,” he says. “I had taken wood shop before but it never became a hobby of mine until my school started to get hard wood into the
26、 shop classes.”“I realized how much fun woodworking was and took all the wood-shop classes I could and started spending time in the shop after school,” he says. “I got a summer job working with my uncle and used most of the money I made to buy woodworking tools and quickly turned my dads little shop
27、 into my own woodworking shop.” His skills and knowledge were sharpened and tested in the woodworking program.All this went a long way in preparing him for full-time employment and taught him what to expect when he started working.“The biggest challenge to secure a good job with my training and skil
28、l set would be to keep up with all the different products and new designs,” he says. “I have only been in the industry for a few years but even my boss, who has been doing this for many years, is still learning new things all the time.”Sherrards passion for his skill has brought him this far but his

Take part in more competitions.CStudents and Technology in the ClassroomI love my Blackberry its my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of m
32、y writing and thought. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices (设备) and truly communicate with others.On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full
33、discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom. I have a rule no laptops, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.Most stude
34、nts assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. Theres a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. Theres no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my stu
35、dents.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for
36、ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course the material and the class discussion.Ive been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the educations reflec
37、t student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.Im not saying that I wont ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until
38、 I hear a really good reason for the change. Im sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.38.

40、dents to better understand complex themes D. affect students concentration on course evaluation41.

41、When things go wrong and were to blame, were supposed to feel guilty. Right? Not necessarily. It turns out that when we do something that causes a negative outcome, we actually feel less responsible for our actions. And, we see the entire situation differently than we would have if things had turned
42、 out well.The “blame game” is nothing new. Behavior experts have long known that people push responsibility to others, or to outside factors, when things dont work out. But new research from the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience at University College London shows that this response is more than ab
43、out wanting to escape blame we actually dont believe that what happened is our fault.To learn more about the blame game, researchers conducted a study. They asked 34 participants to press keys that randomly (随机地) produced three different noises. The noises were positive (amusement, laughter), negati
44、ve (fear, disgust, or anger), or neutral.The volunteers were asked to estimate (估计) the time that it took between when they pushed the button and when they heard the sound. Volunteers felt there was a longer lag (延迟) time between their actions and the negative sounds than between their actions and t
45、he positive ones. In their minds, the negative outcomes were separate from their actions. Therefore, they were able to feel less responsible for them.The researchers say that when it comes to assigning blame, we cant always trust our own judgment. “Just because you dont feel responsible, doesnt mean
46、 youre actually not,” says study author Patrick Haggard.The findings suggest that perhaps more of us need to realize that unpleasant or negative situations may actually be our fault even if we dont see it that way. And taking more responsibility for our actions could lead to better relationships wit
47、h others.42. If things turn out well, people tend to _.A. owe the success to othersB. share the success with othersC. feel more related to their actionsD. enjoy much pleasure themselves43. What can be inferred from Paragraph 2?A. Experts knew little about the “blame game”.B. Similar studies have been done before.C. The study now has found nothing new.D. Outside factors lead
