39、on the way to search for better learning methods. To learn some- thing new, you have to fail several times. However, how many times do you need to fail? Many education experts say that there is a “sweet spot (the position on a bat or racket where the best effect is achieved)” in learning. That is, w
40、e learn best when we are challenged to get something just outside the level of our knowledge. If a challenge is too simple, we dont learn anything new. However, we cant improve our knowledge either and may give up when a challenge is too difficult. So where does the sweet spot lie? According to a ne
41、w study, it is when failure happens 15% of the time. To put it another way, its when the right answer is given 85% of the time. A professor(教授) named Wilson and some researchers did some experiments(实验) and then came up with “85% Rule”. They taught computers some simple tasks. They found when diffic
42、ulty was 15%, the computers learned fastest. When researchers looked at studies of animal learning, they found that 85% Rule held true in those examples as well. “If the classes you are taking are too easy and you can do well in them easily, then you probably arent getting as much out of a class as
43、someone who is trying to keep up，” Wilson said. ( )26.What will happen if we are facing an easy challenge? AWe can learn something better. BWe can learn something easily.

CIf a challenge is difficult, 85% of learners can learn fastest. DIf a challenge is simple, 85% of learners can l
45、earn fastest. ( )29.What can we know from the passage? AWe can learn more when taking easy classes. BIf a challenge is difficult, we can learn better. C“85% Rule” is the “sweet spot” in learning. D“85% Rule” doesnt hold true in animal learning. ( )30.Whats the best title of the passage? AThe “sweet
46、spot” in learning BThe challenges in learning CSome experiments about learning DHow to learn better G In order to make sure that you and your students have a successful and educational visit to CU Museum, here are a few suggestions for what you can do.
