GIRLS AND TECHNOLOGY
If you want your daughter to succeed, buy her a toy construction set That is the advice from Britain’s (71) _ female engineers and scientists Marie-Noelle Barton, who heads an Engineering Council campaign to encourage girls into science and engineering, maintains that some of Britain’s most successful women have had their careers (72) _ by the toys they played with as children Even girls who end (73) _ nowhere near a microchip or microscope could benefit from
a better (74) _ of science and technology
‘It’s a (75) _ of giving them experience and confidence with technology so that when they are (76) _ with a situation requiring some technical know-how, they feel they can handle it and don’t just (77) _ defeat immediately,’ says Mrs Barton ‘I believe that lots of girls feel unsure of themselves when it comes (78) _ technology and therefore they might be losing out

III Read the following passage and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to complete each sentence (10.0 pts)
Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviors It is common to think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning occurs outside the classroom, and people continue to learn throughout their lives
Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to manipulate toys, food, and other objects They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished They learn social skills for interacting with other children After they finish school, people must learn
to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job
Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study
of learning is important in many different fields Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviors Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers
Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it In contrast,
psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result
of a person’s experiences
There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex Simple forms of learning involve a single stimulus A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste In a form of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by thunder In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences (reward or punishment) People and animals can also learn by observation - that is, by watching others perform behaviors More complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills
