Wind is one of our cleanest and richest power source (来源), as well as one of the oldest. Evidence shows
that windmills (风车) began to be used in ancient Iran back in the seventh century BC. They were first
introduced to Europe during the 1100s, when armies returned from the Middle East with knowledge of
using wind power.
For many centuries, people used windmills to grind (磨碎) wheat into flour or pump water from deep
underground. When electricity was discovered in the late 1800s, people living in remote areas began to use
them to produce electricity. This allowed them to have electric lights and radio. However, by the1940s
when electricity was available to people in almost all areas of the United States, windmills were rarely used.
During the 1970s, people started becoming concerned about the pollution that is created when coal and
gas are burned to produce electricity. People also realized that the supply of coal and gas would not last
forever. Then, wind was rediscovered, though it means higher coasts. Today, there is a global movement
to supply more and more of our electricity through the use of wind.

So, while we can, we ought to concentrate on teaching children something really useful. Here is what our
school should teach.
Politeness is a mark of civilization. The sooner children learn this, the better. In any case, a lot can be
accomplished by a smile and good manners.
Like it or not, our adult lives will be consumed by the struggle for money, but we don"t make an effort
to teach children how to manage it. So our schools have a duty to teach them this ability from the beginning.
We"re likely no accepted something we are told, but that"s not what educated people do. Educated people
are reasonable and they look at facts. If our schools teach nothing else, they should at least teach critical (批
判性的) thinking.
Children should learn to take care of their health. They should know that if they eat junk food (垃圾食品),
they will become fat and unhealthy. They should be very clear about what happens to their bodies when they
drink or smoke.
All of us are part of society. We have rights and responsibilities. We ought to understand what they are.
We have to know a little bit of history and geography, because we need to have an environment in which to
relate to the people around us.
How will we test students on these? We can"t. But that"s not a reason to avoid teaching what is important.
Our schools should spend every moment they have telling this to our children:"This is life, this is what you
are going to face, and this is how you deal with it."

| Students and Technology in the Classroom 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 thoughts. 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 laptop, 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 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 evaluations 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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| It has been argued by some that gifted children should be grouped in special classes. The 1 has been on the belief that in regular classes these children are held back in their intellectual (智力的) growth by 2 situation that has designed for the 3 children. There can be little doubt that 4 classes can help the gifted children to graduate earlier and take their place in life sooner. However, to take these 5 out of the regular classes may create serious problems. I observed a number of 6 children who were taken out of a special class and placed in a 7 class. In the special class, they showed little ability to use their own judgment, relying 8 on their teachers" directions. In the regular class, having no worry about keeping up, they began to reflect 9 on many problems, some of which were not on the school program. Many are concerned that gifted children become 10 and lose interest in learning. However this 11 is more often from parents and teachers than from students, and some of these 12 simply conclude that special classes should be set up for those who are 13 . Some top students do feel bored in class, but why they 14 so goes far beyond the work they have in school. Studies have shown that to be bored is to be anxious. The gifted child whop is bored is an 15 child. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
