Over the past decade, universities have invested heavily to a

    14、dd equipments into the classroom. But there is little 1that these equipments enhance learningand, critics argue, they might actually 2it, making both students and teachers passive. What if classrooms were 3to the pre-Internet days of wooden tables and chalk? Jose Bowen, dean of the Meadows School of

    15、 the Arts at Southern Methodist University, has taken technology out of the classroom. He wants his 4to “teach naked,“ meaning without the aid of any machines. Classroom time should be 5for discussions with the professor, aimed at teaching students to think critically, argue, and raise new questions

    16、. Bowen, who teaches music, delivers content via podcasts (播客), which students must listen to on their own time. He then tests them on the material before every class and uses class time for discussions. Hes been teaching the same material for 25 years, but since he 6this new method, his students ha

    17、ve been more engaged and scored better on exams. College students asked by researchers to list what motivates them have 7emphasized teacher enthusiasm, organization, and harmonious relationship, while naming lack of 8participation as a major negative factor. Technology has a place in education, but

    18、it should be used 9by students outside the classroom. That gives them more time to absorb 10via podcast or video, and frees teachers to spend class time coaching students in how to apply the material rather than simply absorb it.A) active E) creative I) implemented M) persistentlyB) coach F) evidenc

    20、n Californias icy breakers, Todd Copeland, a design master at the Patagonia clothing company, concluded that wetsuits (潜水服) werent cutting it. Sure, a traditional Neoprene (氯丁橡胶) suit could keep him warm, but the suits material could be synthesised only from non-renewable, energy-intensive resources

    21、 such as petroleum.B In spring 2008, Copeland blogged about the need for a truly green alternative. And, later that summer, his cry found its way to Yulex, an Arizona-based company working to bring back a low-energy, low-poison recipe for rubber from guayuie (银胶菊), a desert bush native to North Amer

    22、ica. Research on the plant peaked during the Second World War but was then shelved. Yulex had restarted the work around 2000 and was making hypo-allergenic (低过敏的) surgical gloves, but was seeking a new market. It saw Copelands post, and soon its representatives came knocking.C Yulexs efforts are set

    23、 to pay off later this fall, when Patagonia releases a full wetsuit made from a 60:40 blend of guayule and conventional Neoprene, five years after Copeland initiated the search. “We hope to get that to 100% guayuie, but it takes time to learn a new material,“ says Copeland, now Patagonias environmen

    24、tal product specialist.D This lucky match between designer and material maker is, unfortunately, a rare exception. The tale of Patagonias eco-wetsuit offers a lesson of the larger challenge facing green materials on the path from lab to market. The process remains a complex web that few materials su

    25、rvive. But a recent survey of design leaders reveals that while eco-materials still face a tougher journey than their conventional peers, the process of green technology transfer is making progress.E Though spotty, statistics on green materials markets are all pointing up. The building industry is o

    26、ne of the largest shifting towards lower-impact practices. In the US, the green construction market is worth roughly $100bn, a ten-fold rise since 2006, according to the 2013 Dodge Construction Green Outlook. As a share, green construction now accounts for 44% of total US commercial and institutiona

    27、l construction, up from near zero a decade ago.F Evidence suggests that big corporations are deepening their commitment to these priorities, as well. For example, Green adoption has also been accelerating at Ford. A decade ago, engineers at the No. 2 US automaker were distrustful of the cost and per

    28、formance benefits of alternatives. Today, following a storm of successful material substitutions, design engineers are required to evaluate and pick green candidates where they equal or exceed conventional materials.G Fords shift didnt come quickly. “We were kicked out of conference rooms,“ laughs D

    29、ebbie Mielewski, technical leader for Plastics Research at Ford Motor Co, recalling her efforts in the early 2000s to pitch bio-based plastics to the car makers internal development engineers. “They saw only risk and additional cost,“ she says. But thanks to the protection of Bill Ford Jr, the compa

    30、nys then CEO, Fords bio-plastics R&D program had the time and funding to mature new offerings to the point where today soy-based polyurethane foams (大豆聚氨酯泡沫塑料) are used in the seat cushions, backs, and headrests of all vehicles built in North America. A focus on value and performance has helped reve

    31、rse early disbelief. “Our goal has always been to match the price and performance of any material were hoping to replace,“ she says.H As its commitment to recover and re-use waste carpet materials started to take root in the 1990s, Atlanta-based Interface, a $lbn-per-year manufacturer of carpet used

    32、 primarily in commercial spaces, recognised it could push this goal only as quickly as a key fibre supplier, Italys Aquafil, was able to develop and scale-up processes to harvest fibers from recovered carpets and to then re-melt them for use in new carpeting. “This was more of us pushing recycled ma

    33、terials,“ by Interface, “rather than a pull“ from the market, says Nigel Stansfield, Interfaces vice president and chief innovations officer. “We had to overcome a perception that recycled was more costly, or performed less well.“I Interface also faced a reverse logistics (物流) challenge: it had to w

    34、ork with existing and new partners to learn how to capture and truck tons of carpet back to its partner plants. “To make this work, weve had to focus on all parts of the products life cycle at once,“ Stansfield says. At the installation phase, for example, this has meant educating flooring installer

    35、s to abandon long-standing practices of gluing carpets down, which damages the material at the later recovery stage. Interface instead relies on gravity and strong gluey patches to link its carpet tile and keep carpets locked down. And at the end-of-use stage, the move has meant developing reverse l

    36、ogistics flows, to steer carpet waste away from landfills, and back to re-processors such as Aquafil.J Designers are widely frustrated by a lack of consistent, reliable services that can verify green materials virtues. The industry needs a “greenwash monitor (漂绿监控),“ Patagonias Copeland says. There

    37、has been some movement toward this goal, with efforts including Nikes MAKING app, Material Connexion, and the Sustainable Packaging Coalition. Green materials can fail an evaluation for many reasons. A few years ago, Patagonia became interested in bamboo-based fabrics. The cultivation of fast-growin

    38、g bamboo was appealing as a sustainable raw material. But on deeper investigation, Patagonia passed on the new fabrics because the process to convert bamboo into fibres proved just as poisonous as the standard method.K “Most clients think that sustainable design is simply a case of switching existin

    39、g material for a greener option,“ says Chris Sherwin, head of sustainability at Seymourpowell, a London-based design advisor. “Same product, new material: thats wrong on many grounds.“ Sherwin argues that its critical to understand that the stuff from which a product is made often accounts for only

    40、a tiny fraction of the impact of the use-phase of a products lifetime. Hence, its smarter for laundry soap makers to improve the performance of their cleansers in cold water rather than focus solely on revising packaging. “We should start with more fundamental product redesign,“ Sherwin says. “We mu

    41、st start by asking, how will the consumers needs best be satisfied, and design accordingly.“(分数:20.00)(1).Even though the process of green technology transfer is hard, its improving.(分数:2.00)填空项 1:_(2).Bamboo failed the green material evaluation not because of the material itself but because of its

    42、process to convert into fibres.(分数:2.00)填空项 1:_(3).The research on guayule wasnt at its height when Yulex started its work on it.(分数:2.00)填空项 1:_(4).Taking factors like the cost and performance benefits into consideration, engineers at Ford didnt trust green materials about ten years ago.(分数:2.00)填空

    43、项 1:_(5).Interface started committing to using recycled materials in the 1990s.(分数:2.00)填空项 1:_(6).Nearly half of the US commercial and institutional construction is now green.(分数:2.00)填空项 1:_(7).Most clients view that sustainable design means producing the same products with green material is wrong

    45、1.Section C_If you ask 20 random graduates to explain why they went to business school, a large majority will list networking as one of the top reasons. Makes sense, too, since the connections one makes in business school can be useful down the road in finding jobs and excelling at them. Which is why its all the more curious that if you comb through the course curriculum of 20 random business schools, youd be hard-pressed to turn up more than a handful that actually teach their students how to netw
