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 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 conversations 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 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.
小题1:Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with______.
A.the course material | B.others’ misuse of technology |
C.discussion topics | D.the author’s class regulations |
A.explore | B.accept | C.change | D.reject |
A.keep students from doing independent thinking |
B.encourage students to have in-depth conversations |
C.help students to better understand complex themes |
D.affect students’ concentration on course evaluation |
A.is quite stubborn |
B.will give up teaching history |
C.will change his teaching plan soon |
D.values technology-free dialogues in his class |
Singles are flocking(涌向)to the Internet mainly because their busy lifestyles leave them little time to look for a significant other.Using dating sites(约会网址)is quick and convenient.Many singles say the regular dating scene has just led them from one bad experience to another and are ready to try something else.Dating sites also make it easy to avoid someone you are not interested in.In the real world, however, ignoring someone you don’t like can be difficult.
Despite all the advantages, online dating also presents its own set of problems.People aren’t always those who they declare to be in their online description.Safety is another concern.You are just likely to find a criminal online as you are Mr.Or Miss Right.
Online dating experts recommend following a few safety tips:
Guard your personal information.Never give out your personal information online.This includes your last name, phone number, home address and place of work.
Watch for red flags.Do any of the people you are chatting with make disrespectful comments? Do they try to control you? Do they give false information about themselves? If so, forget them!
Meet in a safe place.When meeting someone in person, choose a public location with other people around.
Following these tips and you might be able to find the person of your dreams.

American Congress first passed the law in 2002.Stores have had to label seafood by country of origin since 2005.But industry pressure delayed other requirements until last week.
Products that must now be labeled include fresh fruits and vegetables, muscle meats and some kinds of nuts.But the rules are complex, and many foods are excluded.For example, organ meats are free to be labeled.So are processed foods, including cooked or smoked food.
The United States has imported more and more food in recent years to save money and expand choices.Country-of-origin labeling has become more common lately but has still been limited in many stores.
Food safety is one reason why some shoppers pay close attention to where foods came from.For example, when a large number of people recently got sick from salmonella(沙门菌病), officials blamed peppers from Mexico.Yet the last big food scare involved spinach (菠菜) grown in California.But labeling is also a way for people to know they are getting what they want.Some want to buy local foods or foods from a particular country.
The country-of-origin labeling law gives stores 30 days to correct any violations that are found.Stores and suppliers that are found to be deliberately violating the law could be fined 1000 dollars per violation.Federal inspectors are not to take action to enforce the law for six months to give time for an education campaign.
Some food safety activists say they are generally pleased with the law.They call it a good step that will give people more useful information.
小题1:Why has more and more food been imported to the United States in recent years?
A.Because it is economical and provides people with more choices. |
B.Because the United States is short of food supply. |
C.Because Americans need more and more food recently. |
D.Because foreign food is of higher quality than native food. |
A.Stores have to label food by its producing date from now on. |
B.The country-of-origin labeling has to be marked on more food. |
C.Stores have to label seafood by country of origin. |
D.Labeling of food should include more useful information. |
A.right now | B.in a month |
C.in three months | D.in half a year |
A.they are curious about the country of the food origin |
B.they are particular about the tastes of the food |
C.they are concerned about food safety and want to get what they want |
D.most of the shoppers are food safety activists themselves |
People in Britain and the USA are taking more interest in modern dance. Dance classes of all kinds are popular; the audiences going to watch modern dance companies are also larger. And perhaps the most popular modern dance company in Britain is the Ballet Rambert.
The Ballet Rambert is Britains’ oldest established dance company which began in 1926. In the 60 s the company lacked the money to go on staging big productions. The directors wanted to encourage new talent and to keep up their high standards. A change of direction was necessary. They decided to give the ballet a ‘new look” in 1966. The aim was to provide a chance for new talent – for musicians and designers as well as dancers – and to show dance as a contemporary art form. And although some of the company’s previous fans dislike the change, new audiences came to see the productions.
The modern dance pieces and modern music found unexpected popularity. In the 21 st century the Ballet Rambert was a great success in London’s West End. The company became a focus for new, progressive talent in the art.
Then, the Ballet Ramvert started to introduce young people to modern dance by giving performances at schools, which again, was a success.
The Ballet Rambert has managed to make modern dance popular while creating original and often avant – garde (标新立异) productions. It can claim to be the oldest dance company in Britain and at the same time one of the most modern!
小题1:If a person wants to learn classical ballet, he or she will go to .
A.the Ballet Rambert | B.a ballroom teacher |
C.a world champion | D.a qualified school |
A.new programs | B.new audiences |
C.avant – garde productions | D.skilled young dancers |
A.has succeeded in making modern dance popular |
B.wanted to become the oldest dance company |
C.was once a popular dance company |
D.changed old dance into new ones |
A.the popularity of modern dance |
B.the introduction to new modern dancers |
C.the development of the Ballet Rambert |
D.the high standard of dance performances |
Why? It may be the so-called "generation gap".A generation gap appears when we begin to feel our parents
are ignoring us, don"t understand us, and we feel we can no longer share our feelings with them.
The key reason is our desire for independence.In senior high school, we start to want to take responsibility for our own lives and make our own decisions.But parents resist this.They still want to control us and try to force us to do things they think we should do.Debate and discussion often come to nothing.Gradually, we talk with them less, and keep our feelings locked up inside.
Zhang Xiaoyun, 16, of Ningbo, Zhejiang, has talked less and less with her mother since she started senior high school."She believes studies should be my priority, not my inner world," Zhang said."Each day, she asks me the same old questions like, "How was your last exam? or "Have you made any progress in physics?" To Zhang, these questions are annoying and so she always tries to ignore them and answers perfunctorily."Sometimes, when I get upset, I quarrel with her.After, she comes to apologize and comfort me.But I know, she doesn"t completely understand me," Zhang said.Now, a home that was once full of laughter has fallen into gloom and silence.
The generation gap can be harmful.Because of the lack of communication, our parents no longer know what we are thinking about.There are quarrels, even over trivial things.When that happens, we may not be able to concentrate on our studies.Some of us even become afraid to go home after school— a very serious situation for the whole family.
小题1:Which of the following is not included in article?
A.The causes of generation gap. | B.The effects of generation gap. |
C.One example of generation gap. | D.Ways of narrowing generation gap. |
A.Modern society changing very fast. |
B.Parents having unrealistic hopes of their children. |
C.Parents and kids not understanding and respecting each other. |
D.Young people liking to escape from the control of their parents. |
A.attentively | B.indifferently |
C.flatteringly | D.seriously |
A.parents should allow their children more freedom |
B.parents and children should not stay together |
C.the younger generation should value the older generation |
D.academic records are more important than one"s inner world |
