【題目】All kinds of people come in to have their shoes shined. Most of them are friendly. But this man was different.

”How much do you make a week, boy?“ he asked me. I felt he was at me.

He kept taking a sharp look round every now and then. All the time I kept wondering where I'd seen his face. Suddenly I knew I'd seen his picture in the post office many times. He was a big robber： by the police in three states!

"You know，" he was saying，"it's imagination people lack. You'll never get anywhere as a shoeshine boy. ”

I kept brushing away at his shoes as as I could. The sooner I finished the better. He said，“When I was sixteen, I had made $2 500 of my own. ”

That reminded me of something. Was it $ 2 500 or $ 5 000 or $ 25 000? I wasn't . I knew a big reward was afforded for him.

What could I do about it? Hit him with a can of shoe polish? If only someone would come in!

He kept talking away， “Along with imagination, it takes courage—the courage to take a chance. Start something on a shoestring. ”

Suddenly I saw Officer Dailey coming across the street. Then, really fast, I began tightening the man's shoestrings.

The policeman was at the window when I cried out，” Officer Dailey， ！ This man's a robber. 99

“ ，” the man shouted angrily. He star-ted to jump off the stand. It didn't go the he planned. He fell flat on his face and knocked him-self out cold.

“That was pretty clever of you，” the officer said. "You'll get a reward of $ 7 500 for him. ”

“Well, it really wasn't my idea，” I said. “It was his. He told me if you had courage and imagination you could start something big on a shoe-string. ”

【題目】Every Thursday afternoon, my art history class meets not in our usual lecture hall but in the Yale University Art Gallery(美術(shù)館）.

We spend our one-hour class discussing two or three of the paintings, many of which are by artists that we have already studied in class.

The professor begins by selecting one work of art. After giving us a quick background on the artist, he'll open up for class discussion. Everyone is strongly encouraged to give opinions to the work. Not every piece we study is necessarily famous or striking in appearance and subject matter, yet we always manage to make some interesting observations.

In America, professors always take every opportunity to push textbooks aside and expose students to real world experiences.

With some creativity, almost any subject can be applied to such beyond the classroom learning.

My art history class trips to the gallery are but one example.

Many other subjects also offer opportunities to learn outside the classroom, for example business psychology, art, journalism and biology.

A friend of mine from Yale taking an advanced psychology course spends every Saturday working with mentally disabled children.

Her mornings are spent playing with the kids and studying their sometimes uncontrolled behavior. Then in the afternoon she writes a report on her observations.

Students generally appreciate these unique learning opportunities. They're almost always fun and interesting, and professors like them because students learn so much in just a few short months.

No one denies (否認）the value of classroom lerning. But it can only take students so far.

Slides and textbooks may do a good job of carrying facts and dates, but creativity and originality (創(chuàng)造性）of thought cannot be taught. They can only be got through first-hand experience.
