Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) Today’s hot articleWhere you sit and how you fitFor more than seventy years, psychologists (心理学家) and teachers have studied the link between the place where students choose to sit in class and what they are like as people and learners. Where do you usually decide to sit? Have you ever really thought about the reasons for your decision?At the backPeople often think that students who sit at the back are lazy. But is this really true? Well, some researchers say it is not. In fact, shy students often choose the back row because they probably won’t speak much, but in big classrooms, it can be hard to see the board and hear what the teacher is saying. This could be the reason why students who sit here often get lower grades on tests and exams. For students with poor eyesight or hearing, a seat at the back of the classroom is definitely not a good choice.At the sideStudents who sit at the side of the classroom are normally interested in class, but they like watching and listening rather than joining in. These students are usually also very good at taking notes. On the sides of the classroom, you will generally find modest and thoughtful people. These people usually get good grades in school and are interested in learning.In the middleDo you sit in the middle of the classroom? Then the statistics (统计资料) say you probably like your teacher. You probably also have a good relationship with your classmates. Caring, outgoing, and cheerful people usually sit in the middle. They are normally serious about learning and feel disappointed with low grades on tests and exams.At the frontAre you crazy about knowledge? Are you worried about missing important information in class? Students at the front usually want to discuss things with the teacher and are often very interested in the subject. They want to be in the best place to see and hear everything the teacher does and says. The only problem with sitting at the front is that it can be difficult to see and hear what other students do and say in class. Therefore, .20.
