27、 teacher, you could bring the community into your classroom in many ways. The parents and grandparents of your students are resources and36for their children. They can be37teachers of their own traditions and histories. Immigrant parents could talk about their country of38and why they emigrated to t
28、he United States. Parents can be invited to talk about their jobs or a community project. Parents, of course, are not the only community resources. Employees at local businesses and staff at community agencies have39information to share in classrooms. Field trips provide another opportunity to know
29、the community. Many students dont have the opporttmity to40concerts or visit museums or historical sites except through field trips. A school district should have41for selecting and conducting field trips. Families must be made42of field trips and give permission for their children to participate. T
30、hrough school projects, students can learn to be43in community projects ranging from planting trees to cleaning up a park to assisting elderly people.

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived.Yo
33、u may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter.Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Reaping the Rewards of Risk-TakingA. Since Steve Jobs resigned as chief executive of Apple, much has been said about him as a peerless business l
34、eader who has created immense wealth for shareholders, and guided the design of hit products that are transforming entire industries, like music and mobile communications.B. All true, but lets think different, to borrow the Apple marketing slogan of years back. Lets look at Mr. Jobs as a role model.
35、C. Above all, he is an innovator (创新者). His creative force is seen in products such as the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, and in new business models for pricing and distributing music and mobile software online. Studies of innovation come to the same conclusion: you cant engineer innovation, but you can in
36、crease the odds of it occurring. And Mr. Jobs career can be viewed as a consistent pursuit of improving those odds, both for himself and the companies he has led. Mr. Jobs, of course, has enjoyed singular success. But innovation, broadly defined, is the crucial ingredient in all economic progress-hi
37、gher growth for nations, more competitive products for companies, and more prosperous careem for individuals. And Mr. Jobs, many experts say, exemplifies what works in the innovation game.D. We can look at and learn from Steve Jobs what the essence of American innovation is, says John Kao, an innova
38、tion consultant to corporations and governments. Many other nations, Mr. John Kao notes, axe now ahead of the United States in producing what are considered the raw materials of innovation. These include government financing for scientific research, national policies to support emerging industries,
39、educational achievement, engineers and scientists graduated, even the speeds of Internet broadband service.E. Yet what other nations typically lack, Mr. Kao adds, is a social environment that encourages diversity, experimentation, risk-taking, and combining skills from many fields into products that
40、 he calls recombinant mash-ups (打碎重组), like the iPhone, which redefined the smartphone category. The culture of other countries doesnt support the kind of innovation that Steve Jobs exemplifies, as America does, Mr. John Kao says.F. Workers of every rank are told these days that wide-ranging curiosi
41、ty and continuous learning are vital to tturiving in the modern economy. Formal education matters, career counselors say, but real- life experience is often even more valuable.G. An adopted child, growing up in Silicon Valley, Mr. Jobs displayed those traits early on. He wasfascinated by electronics
42、 as a child, building Heathkit do-it-yourself projects, like radios. Mr. Jobs dropped out of Reed College after only a semester and traveled around India in search of spiritual enlightenment, before returning to Silicon Valley to found Apple with his friend, Stephen Wozniak, an engineering wizard (奇
43、才). Mr. Jobs was forced out of Apple in 1985, went off and founded two other companies, Next and Pixar, before returning to Apple in 1996 and becoming chiefexecutive in 1997.H. His path was unique, but innovation experts say the pattern of exploration is not unusual. Its often people like Steve Jobs
44、 who can draw from a deep reservoir of diverse experiences that often generate breakthrough ideas and insights, says Hal Gregersen, a professor at the European Institute of Business Administration.I. Mr. Gregersen is a co-author of a new book, The Innovators DNA, which is based on an eight-year stud
45、y of 5,000 entrepreneurs (创业者. and executives worldwide. His two collaborators and co- authors are Jeff Dyer, a professor at Brigham Young University, and Clayton Christensen, a professor at the Harvard Business School, whose 1997 book The Innovators Dilemma popularized the concept of disruptive ( 颠
46、覆性的. innovation. J. The academics identify five traits that are common to the disruptive innovators: questioning, experimenting, observing, associating and networking. Their bundle of characteristics echoes the ceaseless curiosity and willingness to take risks noted by other experts. Networking, Mr.
47、 Hal Gregersen explains, is less about career-building relationships than a consistent search for new ideas. Associating, he adds, is the ability to make idea-producing connections by linking concepts from different disciplines.K. Innovators engage in these mental activities regularly, Mr. Gregersen says. Its a habit for them. Innovative companies, according to the authors, typically enjoy higher valuations in thestock market, which they call an innovation premium (溢价). It is calculated by estimating the share of a companys value that cannot be accounted for by its
