pocket-money, but uncles and aunts are always a source of extra income. With some children, small
sums _go a long way. If sixpences are not exchanged for sweets, they rattle for months inside the money-
box. Only very thrifty children manage to fill up a money-box. For most of them, sixpence is a small price
to pay for a satisfying bar of chocolate.
My nephew, George, has a money-box but it is always empty. Very few of the sixpences I have given to him found their way there. I gave him sixpence yesterday and advised him to save it. Instead, he bought himself sixpence worth of trouble. On his way to the sweet shop, he dropped his sixpence and it rolled
along the pavement and then disappeared down a drain. George took off his jacket, rolled up his sleeves
and pushed his right arm through the drain cover. However, he couldn"t find his sixpence anywhere, and
what"s more, he couldn"t get his arm out. A crowd of people gathered round him and a lady rubbed his arm with soap and butter, but George was firmly stuck. The fire-brigade was called and two firemen freed
George using a special of greese . George was not too upset by his sixpence because the lady who owns
the sweet shop heard about his trouble and rewarded him with a large box of chocolate.

I love my Blackberry-it"s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also
love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thought. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices(设备)and truly communicate with
others.
On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My
goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to
thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom. I have a rule -no
laptops, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were
not happy.
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with
students misusing technology. There"s a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. There"s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students
to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently
and to make connections between the course the material and the class discussion.
I"ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the educations reflect student
satisfaction with the environment that I create .Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge,
they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.
I"m not saying that I won"t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I
hear a really good reason for the change. I"m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue
is just too sweet to give up.
B. others" misuse of technology
C. discussion topics
D. the author"s class regulations
B. accept
C. change
D. reject
B. encourage students to have in-depth conversations
C. help students to better understand complex themes
D. affect students" concentration on course evaluation
B. will give up teaching history
C. will change his teaching plan soon
D. values technology-free dialogues in his class

One theory is that the stripes help the zebra cool down. On hot days the black stripes get a lot hotter than
the white area of the zebra and under the black stripes there are special layers of fat for protection. Hot
air then rises off the black stripes, forcing colder air down around the white areas, cooling the zebra
down. This, however, is just a theory. The stripes can also confuse predators (食肉动物) when zebras
stay with other animals in great numbers.
Zebras have excellent hearing and eyesight and can run at a speed of up to 35 miles per hour
(56 kilometers per hour). They also have a powerful kick that can cause serious injury to a predator, like
a lion, or an African wild dog. Usually the lead male of the herd stays at the back of the group to defend
against predators if necessary, while the females and youngsters run from danger.
Zebras are herbivores and feed mostly on grasses, although they also might eat the leaves and stems (茎) of bushes a bit. They eat grasses for many hours each day, using their strong teeth. Spending so
much time chewing wears the zebra"s teeth down, so their teeth keep growing all their lives. As the dry
season arrives and the grasses die back, zebra herds travel to find more food and water holes for drinking. Most zebras have no specific territories. They travel from place to place, never staying in one area very
long.
B. The black stripes help the zebra live through cold days.
C. The zebra can easily be attacked by predators.
D. The zebra always travels with other animals.
B. animals that only eat plants
C. animals that kill and eat other animals
D. animals that live in groups
B. are used all day
C. are always growing
D. are kept clean
B. Their stripes can confuse predators.
C. They can run 56 miles per hour.
D. They usually stay in one area all their lives.
B. Everyday Tips
C. Digital Stadium
D. Discoveries
readership is limited to those who choose to study literature at university.
Shakespeare"s work,together with most other classics,is seen as remote,and written in a
400yearold version of English that is about as inviting as toothache.
Still,in British schools,it is compulsory to study the bard(诗人),and when something is
made compulsory,usually the result is boredom,resentment(憎恨) or both.
This was my experience of the classics at school.But when I reached my late teenage
years,I had a change of heart.Like every other young person since the dawn of time,the
world confused me.I wanted answers,so I turned to books to find them.
I went on to take a PhD in literature and have taught it in Britain and China.I have never
regretted it.There is something in literature that people want,even if they don"t read books.
You see this in the popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works,the recent film
version of Jane Austen"s Pride and Prejudice being a_case_in_point.These popular
adaptationsmay help increase people"s interest in the classics.
Reading a simplified Romeo and Juliet may perhaps lead to a reading of Shakespeare"s
actual play.If that is the case,then I welcome the trend.But do not make the mistake of thinking
that it is the same thing.Shakespeare is a poet.His greatness is in his language.Reading
someone else"s rewriting of his work is like peeling a banana,throwing away the fruit,and
eating the skin take on the original.It really is worth the effort.
B．British students usually find compulsory reading dull.
C．Only those studying literature read Shakespeare"s works.
D．For British people,Shakespeare"s works are no longer classics.
B．was forced to read the classics for a PhD
C．turned to literature to seek answers in his teens
D．thinks only people who read books like literature
B．get a PhD in literature
C．seek their answers about the world
D．become more interested in the classics
B．a good example
C．a movie adaptation
D．a popular phenomenon
B．The rewriting trend does more harm than good.
C．Readers should try to read the original versions.
D．Readers need to learn the language in the classics.
