18、ndly Indian neighbors. This story is inspired by a real 1621 meal, which reflects neither the 17th century nor the 21st century understanding of it.An 1889 novel that described Thanksgiving as an outdoor feast became a best-seller. The growing Ad industry helped spread popular images of the tale. By

19、 the 1920s, Thanksgiving was the most talked-about holiday in U.S. classrooms. The parts that made the colonists (殖民者) look bad were left out.However, many classrooms are beginning to change. And on a recent Saturday morning in Washington D.C., about two dozen teachers went to the National Museum of

20、 the American Indian to learn a better way to teach the Thanksgiving story. When Gokey, the museums teacher-services worker, explained that early Thanksgivings celebrated the burning of a Pequot village in 1637 and the killing of Wampanoag leader Massasoits son, listeners felt shocked.“I look back n

21、ow and realize I was teaching a lot of wrong facts and ideas,” Tonia Parker, a second-grade teacher told TIME.Teachers like the ones at the workshop know that change is coming, and state social-studies standards increasingly encourage students to look at history from multiple angles.

26、g: a Holiday Popularized by a NovelD. The Reform of Education in American ClassroomsCIn the winter of 1985, my hometown, Buffalo, experienced a blizzard (暴风雪) not an uncommon occurrence for the region. But this was a big one, and the citys mayor, Jimmy Griffin, was at pains to persuade people to sto

27、p trying to go about their business as conditions worsened. He urged Buffalonians to “relax, stay inside, and grab a six-pack of beer,” which must be the best advice in an emergency situation.Theres something cartoonish about the threat of a blizzard, in which natures anger assumes a fluffy (蓬松的) fo

28、rm and tries to kill you. Its meteorologically (气象学上) similar to getting attacked by the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. And yet, it does kill, through car accidents and heart attacks and other misadventures, usually involving people trying, unwisely, to do something.Mr. Griffin, therefore known as Jimmy

29、 Six-Pack, understood this. The Snow Gods reserve special hatred for those who dont respect their ability to bring human activity to a standstill. The snow cares not for your deadlines or your happy hour plans. It wants only to fall on the ground and lie there. And it wants you to too.Needless to sa

30、y, you should. A snowstorm rewards indolence and punishes busy bees, which is only one of the many reasons why its the best natural disaster.Time has partly buried my childhood memories of Buffalos mighty blizzard of 1985, but I still recall the great drifts (雪堆) that climbed over houses, the specta

31、cle of a world made surprisingly new. Its a vision that often comes back to my mind every now and then, as we face the terrible prospect that a climate changed by human appetites the future winters, damp and snow-less, may well await us. So let us all now pause, perhaps over a six-pack, and bear wit

32、ness as the climate changes us.28.

34、title for the passage?A. Blizzard: a Thing of the Past.B. In Case of a Snowstorm: Do Nothing.C What Will the Future Winters Be Like?D. Witness to Climate Change.DJournal-based peer review the process of subjecting a scientific research paper to the inspection of others who are experts in the same fi

35、eld is generally held up as the quality assurance mechanism for research. It claims to be an essential measure which prevents publishing faulty papers. Reviewing a paper can delay its publication by up to a year; is that a price worth paying to ensure the trustworthiness of the published literature?

36、 Well, yes and no.Im not yet ready to abandon journal-based peer review. Id still like to see all papers pass some sort of checking stage before formal publication, but I feel the ground moving. The growing use of preprints, drafts of papers which are posted online without having been peer reviewed,

37、 is a crucial part of that shift because they bring academics back to what research publication is all about: the rapid circulation of new results so they can be read, analyzed and built upon. Publication in journals has become more about fame and this has affected both the motivations of authors an

38、d the job of reviewers.Competition for prized spots in journals drives scientists to do some of their best work. But the excessive (过多的) rewards for publishing in top journals are encouragements to corner-cutting, as stories polished by leaving out inconvenient data are more likely to be taken up. A

39、nd the job of the reviewer also becomes distorted: it is more often now to decide not whether a paper is any good, but whether it is good enough for the journal considering publication. For top journals, that can depend as much on newsworthiness as scientific quality.These problems are well known, b

40、ut the tragedy for science is that few people are willing to break away from the present system. However, as biologist Ron Vale argued recentlyfittingly, in a preprint preprints may be a way out because they dont involve a major shift away from the norm. That may seem an odd claim given that preprin

41、ts have been in existence for twenty years, yet have not been adopted universally. This slow uptake is not only a reflection of the built-in conservatism of scientists, but also a result of the widespread misunderstanding that journals wont accept manuscripts which have been posted online as preprin

42、ts. There is also a fear that publication of papers without peer review risks opening the floodgates to “junk science” something which, so far at least, has yet to occur.Preprints enable the informal scientific discussions once restricted to correspondence between individuals. They could also become

43、 an effective outlet for negative results a vital aspect of the scientific process often ignored by the journals excessive preoccupation (关注) with new discoveries. Furthermore, preprints significantly increase the number of times papers are read and cited by others. By taking advantage of the webs c

44、ulture of openness and accessibility, preprints should help to refocus attention where it matters on the work itself, not where it is published.32.

48、 term “growth mindset” thrown around a lot. But what is a growth mindset? How can we cultivate a growth mindset in ourselves?
