Professor Salovey may be correct. For example, have you ever wondered ______ some of the smartest students in your class, ______you think ______(deserve) good grades, sometimes end up _______(fail) exams Perhaps their _____(fail) is because _____their low EQ. People are often ______(mistake) in _______(think) that those with high IQs always have high EQs _______well.

This requires a high EQ-the ______(high) the ______(good). And

Lesson3Teachers My teacher

Graham Lawrence, 29, science author _____ _____(give) presentations on TV, went to Overton School, 1981-19.

I ________(see) Mr. Jenkins since I left school but I often think about him. I wasn’t very good_____most school subjects. I suppose I was a bit lazy and now I wish I___________(did) more work, especially in maths. The only thing I can remember from school maths is______the angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees! But when I was 15 and went into Mr. Jenkins’ class, I really became ______(interest) in a subject ______the

first time.

Before Mr. Jenkins, science had ______(simple) been a subject full_____strange words to me. I had no idea______an atom was and I didn’t really want to know_____ (too)! I found it all so ______(bore) and difficult. But Mr. Jenkins made everything ______(interest). He used to explain things with lots of ______(practice) examples and simplified things______seemed _______(difficultly). One day, he took us outside and we built a rocket! I remember that he let me pour some powder into the rocket and then another student ______(light) a flame to set it off. It was great fun.

I know that I wasn’t a willing student and I _______________(should not be) so difficult at school, but it was probably because I lacked ______(confident) in myself. Mr. Jenkins made me feel that I could do things. I was interested in astronomy and he asked me to give a ______(present) to the class. That was really the first time I ever tried to explain science to an audience an now it’s my job! Often when I’m preparing a programme, I think about how Mr. Jenkins ______________(would do) it. Sometimes I wish I ______(can) phone him and ask for his opinion.

My student

Brian Jenkins, science teacher at Overton School.

Before Graham came into my class, he was very difficult. I __________(hear) stories about his bad ______(behave). Once I caught him and a friend ______(see) who could spit the furthest off the school stage! But when he got ______(interest), he changed. The first day he walked into my class, he was dragging his school bag behind him and _______(look)______(bore), but as soon as I set up an experiment to show ______the human stomach works using acid and an onion, he gave me his full

attention. He loved science! He was very bright and ___________(should do)much better in all his other subjects. I’ve read a couple of his books and _______(see) him on TV. I always say to my wife, “Oh look, I used ______(teach) him.”

I wish I was as successful with all my students as I was with Graham. It’s difficult teaching nowadays. There are lots of problems and not enough money. The government ___________(should put) more money towards science education. And I wish they _______(will decrease) the size of classes–it’s not easy doing lessons in laboratories with big groups and it must be even _______(bad) in the poorer schools! At least with schools like ours, we have laboratories!

My wife often wishes that I _________(choose) a job with less stress but I love what I do. The thing about ______(be) a teacher is that you have access______ children’s minds when they are open and eager ______(learn). And if what I do as a teacher can help turn a child like Graham______such a successful adult, then I know what I’m doing is worthwhile.

Lesson4 Understanding

“Who ______(question) much, shall learn much, shall learn much, and remember much.”

– Francis Bacon (1561-1626)

It seems ______(obviously) now ______we acquire knowledge and ______ (understand). To start with, you need questions. Then, to find answers, you observe the world around you and study the facts. After that you consider possible answers and test each ______(find) the right ones. Although today we are more ______ (custom) to ______(type) a few key words

into a search engine and ______(wait) for the Internet to spit the answer out for us, modern scientists and thinkers are still solving the world’s problems with this type of analysis–luckily for us.

However, in the 17th century when Francis Bacon suggested that this type of ______(think) was the way ______(gain) knowledge, he was going against the views of the day. Bacon ______(hold) an important rank under King James(1566-1625) of England but his true interest was not the day to day bureaucratic details of the government, but the ______(worth) search _____knowledge. This was certainly not the interest of most people in his day. At that time, people believed more in religion than_____facts and people like Galileo Galilei (15-12), _____ proved scientific ideas such as “the Earth is not centre of the universe”, were often ______(punish) by the church______no one coming to their defense. The church and many people tended to ignore the facts and were unwilling ______(challenge) what they had always ______(comfortable) believed. They preferred to make ______(assume) about the world ______(base) on the experience of others. In fact, when Galilei proved that the Earth was not the centre of the universe, instead of ______(believe) him, people chose to believe views ______were almost 2000 years old!

It is not ______(surprise) that people wanted to believe these ancient views ______ they had been put forward ______the great philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BC). He said that the Earth must be the centre of the universe because it felt like the Earth was standing still. Galilei disagreed. At first, people approved______his studies and urged him ______(continue), but later when he proved Aristotle wrong, they grew ______(anger) and put him in prison. They didn’t want to challenge ______they’d always thought was true.

This also shows______people didn’t want to search for their own understanding or educate themselves. And this is still often true today. People feel that if someone important and ______(respect)______(say) that something is right, then it must be so. But even though Aristotle was a great man ______ inspired many great scientists and philosophers after him, he was wrong at times. And Galilei too made mistakes. He is now known______the father of astronomy but he believed that the earth moved round the sun______a perfect circle. He was wrong. Therefore our understanding of the world around us is ______(constant) growing and changing. In other words, we learn more every day and none of us can ever sit back and say, “we know it all”.

We need to thank the great men of the past for the ______(wise) to know that we don’t know it all and ______(probable) never will, for that would mean a world without questions. So much of our knowledge and understanding of the world today is due to people like Bacon and Galilei, who were brave enough to step out from the shadows of conventional though in order to find the _____(king) of knowledge _____ today’s civilization is built upon.

These men knew that knowledge and understanding are things to fight _____; more vital _____a man, and more ______(benefit)_____mankind, one might say, than all the money in the world.

“All truths are easy to understand _____they are discovered; the point is to discover them.”

–Galileo Galilei (15-12)
