問題詳情

[Reading 5 for Q. 76~80]    The notion that we can go to college for four years and then get by on only that knowledge for the next30 is over. If you want to be a lifelong employee anywhere today, you have to be a lifelong learner.    And that means: More is now on you. And that means self-motivation to learn and keep learningbecomes the most important life skill.    That’s why education-to-work expert Heather E. McGowan likes to say: “Stop asking a young personWHAT you want to be when you grow up. It freezes their identity into a job that may not be there. Askthem HOW you want to be when you grow up. Having an agile learning mind-set will be the new skill setof the 21st century.”     Some are up for that, some not; and many want to but don’t know how, which is why the CollegeBoard has reshaped the PSAT and SAT exams to encourage lifelong learning.    “We analyzed 250,000 students from the high school graduating class of 2017 who took the new PSATand then the new SAT,” College Board President David Coleman told me. “Students who took advantageof their PSAT results to launch their own free personalized improvement practice through Khan Academyadvanced dramatically: 20 hours of practice was associated with an average 115-point increase from thePSAT to the SAT — double the average gain among students who did not.    “Practice advances all students without respect to high school G.P.A., gender, race and ethnicity orparental education. And it’s free. Our aim is to transform the SAT into an invitation for students to owntheir futures.”    So the tough news is that more will be on you. The good news is that systems — like Khan-CollegeBoard — are emerging everywhere to enable anyone to accelerate learning for the age of acceleration.Step back from all of this and it’s clear that thriving countries today won’t elect a strongman. They’llelect leaders who inspire and equip their citizens to be strong people who can own their own futures.
