Discussion,IntroductionPreview QuestionsText AnalysisComprehension QuestionsTheme or Main IdeaExpanding QuestionsExercises,Introduction,At the request of his colleague,the author worked as a referee on the grading of an examination question.Unusual as the students answer was,it convinced the author that the student stood for full credit.Moreover,the student offered another three unusual answers to the same question afterwards,but he said nothing about the usual one.Later he told the author why he had given such an unexpected answer to the question on the test.The student was actually bored with high school and college instructors,who had been trying to teach him to use the“scientific method”in a pedantic way.And he wanted to show his discontent in disguise of a fool.,Preview Questions,1.What do you think of our college grading system?Our college grading system is normally based on a 100-point(score)system.Other typical grading system may be based on a scoring range from A to E in which A stands for“excellent”;B“very good”;C“good”;D“pass”and E“fail”.At some universities,teachers may use other forms of grading.,2.If you failed in you final exam,how would feel?And what would you do?,Normally in this case,most students would say that if they failed in their exam,they would feel very bad,but they would not give up.They would pluck up their courage,face the challenge and try again.Guide their conversation so that they may ask why they failed.Is it because they focused on the text too much,ignoring building up their problem-solving ability?,Is it because some exam questions have nothing to do with their lecture notes or assignment reading?Or is it because they could not concentrate during the exam because of overnight preparation?Or,to think otherwise,their teachers have put in some silly questions(or questions too difficult)for them?Instead of trying to do better in a“make-up”exam,does it ever occur to them that they approach the teachers and protest(complain)?,3.What subject do you want to study in college?Why?,While individual students may mostly report the subject they are majoring in at college,the teacher could guide them to compare different subjects in terms of their relevance to personal interests,social needs,meaning to ones life career,etc.,4.How do you usually prepare for an exam?,Ways of preparing for an exam vary.Students may normally describe what they do when an exam is around the corner.Guide their conversation so that they could realize that exams for different subject may require different ways of preparation.,The Origins of the Article,The earliest account of the“barometer”legend weve found so far comes from a 1958 Readers Digest collection,and the tale is usually identified as being the invention of Dr.Alexander Calandra,who included a first-person account of it in 1961 textbook and published it as an article in Saturday Review in 1968.The various responses mentioned in the legend have also been included in lists of supposedly“real”answers given by physics students when confronted by this same question.Whether a real incident was the basis for Dr.Calandras creation of this parable is unknown.,Text Analysis,Para.1Cultural NotesWords and PhrasesDifficult SentencesMain IdeaPara.2-4Cultural NotesWords and PhrasesDifficult SentencesMain IdeaPara.5-7Words and PhrasesMain

percentage system of grading ranges from 100 as the top mark down to 0(nothing).It implies an absolute standard of accomplishment as well as an exactness in mea-surement that is unrealistic.,Letter Grades:Beginning from 1920s,many U.S.schools moved to a“literal”system,in which an“A”grade corresponded to the 90-100 range,“B”to 80-89,and so on.Because of academic pressure,some students may be satisfied with getting a“C”which they call as“Gentlemens C.”More recently,percentage equivalents for letter grades have been abandoned in favor of descriptions of what constitutes“A”work,“B”work,and so on.For instance,“excellent”stands for 90-100;“very good”for 80-90;“good”for 70-80;“pass”for 60-70 and“fail”for scores below 60.,Words and Phrasesreceive a call:I called him last night but today he said he did not receive my call.referee:1)We have to invite a referee to decide upon the academic quality of this research project.2)Our national team lost the game because the referee made a mistake in his judgment of a goal made during the second half.,receive a telephone call,a judge in sports activities and academic assessment and publication,zero:Its unbelievable that anyone in our class got a zero in the final exam!be about to do sth.:I was about to go to the library when you came in to tell me about the exam.set up against:In this city,many rules and regulations have racial meanings;they are set up against the colored.,nothing(in score),be ready to do sth.,to propose again
