单选题
The most exciting kind of education is also the most. Nothing can {{U}}(61) {{/U}} the joy of discovering for yourself something that is important to you. It may be an idea or a bit of information you {{U}}(62) {{/U}} across accidentally--or a sudden {{U}}(63) {{/U}}, fitting together pieces of information or working through a problem. Such personal {{U}}(64) {{/U}} are the "pay off'" in education. A. teacher may {{U}}(65) {{/U}} you to learning and even encourage you in it--but no teacher can make the excitement or the joy happen. That's {{U}}(66) {{/U}} to you.
A research paper, {{U}}(67) {{/U}} in a course and perhaps checked at various stages by an instructor, {{U}}(68) {{/U}} you beyond classrooms, beyond the texts for classes and into a {{U}}(69) {{/U}} where the joy of discover and learning can come to you many times. {{U}}(70) {{/U}} the research paper is an active and individual process, and ideal learning process. It provides a structure {{U}}(71) {{/U}} which you can make exciting discoveries, of knowledge and of self that are basic to education. But the research paper also gives you a chance to individualize a school assignment, to {{U}}(72) {{/U}} a piece of work to your own interests and abilities, to show others {{U}}(73) {{/U}} you can do. Waiting a research paper is more than just a classroom exercise. It is an experience in {{U}}(74) {{/U}} out, understanding and synthesizing, which forms the basis of many skills {{U}}(75) {{/U}} to both academic and nonacademic tasks. It is, in the fullest sense, a discovering education. So, to produce a good research paper is both a useful and a thoroughly {{U}}(76) {{/U}} experience!
To some, the thought of having to write an assigned number of pages often more than ever produced {{U}}(77) {{/U}}, is disconcerting. To others, the very idea of having to work {{U}}(78) {{/U}} is threatening. But there is no need to approach the research paper assignment with anxiety, and nobody should view the research paper as an obstacle to {{U}}(79) {{/U}} Instead, consider it a goal to {{U}}(80) {{/U}}, a goal within reach if you use the help this book can give you.
