about six years ago，I was entering my new school(Beaver Country Day School)and passing some middle school classrooms.I asked myself，“Every adult in the school sits in a chair that is on wheels.Why arent student chairs on wheels？”If chairs on wheels are more comfortable for adults and make them more productive，it seems reasonable they would have the same influence on students.So，we ordered some for the middle school and the results were immediately satisfying.Teachers and students alike loved the new chairs.To increase flexibility(灵活性)in the room，we put all classroom furniture(家具)on wheels and made all the walls writeable with long whiteboards.All of this was easy to do，and not very expensive.The next question I asked myself was：if its this easy，why dont schools pay more attention to learning environments？When new office buildings open，it is common for newspapers to review them and describe how they meet the needs of todays workers.However，classrooms are still the same as they were more than 100 years ago.Organizations like Steelcase and Gensler Architects have done indepth research on workspaces，and Steelcase has paid special attention to schools；they find that workspace and classroom design send powerful messages.When students enter a room with desks or tables in a row and a board at the front，the message is that today we will be on the receiving end of instruction.While with all chairs and tables on wheels and all walls writeable，the message is that today we are going to create something.As we build schools，lets think in fresh ways about the student experience.Lets give the same amount of researchdriven thought to the school environment as we do to our best work environments.Lets put thoughtful studentcentered design at the forefront of school design.Maybe then it will be worth the time to write reviews of exciting，new classroom environments.【语篇解读】本文是议论文。建造办公楼时，职员的需求会被考虑在内。作者认为建学校时，也应该将学生的需求考虑在内，改善学生的学习体验。12What happened to Beaver Country

design?ABy listing numbers.BBy offering examples.CBy showing research findings.DBy asking questions and answering them.C推理判断题。由第三段中的“done indepth research on workspaces”以及“they find that.”可知，作者通过引用一些组织的相关研究发现来帮助说明新教室设计理念的优点。15What did the author suggest doing when building schools?AUsing the latest technology.BAvoiding workspace design.CDoing scientific research
