They map and analyze (分析) the housing, energy, and transportation requirements of their own district and foretell its needs in 100 years. With the aid of an architect (建筑师) who visits the classroom once a week, they invent new ways to meet these needs and build models of their creations. “Designing buildings of the future gives children a lot of freedom, says the teacher who developed this program. “They are able to use their own rich imagination and inventions without fear of blame, because there are no wrong answers in a future context. In fact, as the class enters the final model-building stage of the program, an elected official and planning group make all the design decisions for the model city and the teacher steps back and bees an adviser.CBEP is a set of activities, games and imitations that teach the basic steps necessary for problem-solving: observing, analyzing, working out possible answers, and judging them based on the childrens own standards.21The program is designed to_.A. direct kids to build solar collectorsB. train young scientists for city planningC. develop childrens problem-solving abilitiesD. help young architects know more about designing.22An architect pays a weekly visit to the classroom to _.A. find out kids creative ideas B. help kids with their programC. discuss with the teacher D. give children a lecture23Who is the designer of the program?A.
