I have been teaching for longer than I care to say, and always offer a course for entering freshmen. And Ive discovered something quite elemental: all young people have knowledge-thirsty minds that can be awakened and encouraged to examine the world they inhabit in.【M1】______ So why do we hear so many professors describe their pupils so hostile to learning? Ill stipulate the obvious:【M2】______ colleges want good students. Because by that, they【M3】______ generally mean highly SATs and GPAs. Sadly, this【M4】______ expectation continues at college where, as Harvards Harvey Mansfield states, professors believe "that what theyre doing the research on is exactly what students【M5】______ need to know.

They cites Alexander Hamilton, who wrote that human【M7】______ beings are "ambitious, vindictive, and rapacious." And then Thomas Jefferson, who held that "morality, compassion, and generosity are innate elements in the human constitution." This is a discussion worth of a【M8】______ college course, in which every one of us can bring information and insights to the analysis. This can also happen in the sciences. Thus theres a geology course that starts the professor saying, "After this semester, you 11【M9】______ never look at a rock in the same way again." Of course, the students are expecting to put in a lot of hard work. But【M10】______ teachers like that make them willing to do it.

Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the【M9】______ stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization, Therefore, to stay mentally younger, we have to take learning as a lifelong【M10】______ career.
