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 a ll of my writing and thoughts .Despite this love of technology ,I know that there are times when I need to move awa y 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 wa y 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.
41.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
42.The underlined word “engage ”in para.4 probably means ____
A. explore
B. accept
C. change
D. reject
43.According to the author ,the use of technology in the classroom may ____
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
44.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ____
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
B

Science can't explain the power of pets, but many studies have shown that the company of pets can help lower blood pressure (血压) and raise chances of recovering from a heart attack, reduce loneliness and spread all-round good cheer.
Any owner will tall you how much joy a pet brings. For some, an animal provides more comfort than a husband/wife. A 2002 study by Karen Allen of the State University of New York measured stress (紧张) levels and blood pressure in people - half of them pet owners –while they performed 5 minutes of mental arithmetic (算术) or held a hand in ice water. Subjects completed the tasks alone, with a husband/wife, a close friend or with a pet. People with pets did it best. Those tested with their ani mal friends had smaller change in blood pressure and returned most quickly to baseline heart rates. With pets in the room, people also made fewer math mistakes than when doing in front of other companions. It seems people feel more relaxed (放松)around pets, says Allen, who thinks it may be because pets don't judge.
A study reported last fall suggests that having a pet dog not only raises your spirits but may also have an effect on your eating habits. Researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital spent a year studying 36 fat people and their equally fat dogs on diet-and-exercise programs; a separate group of 56 people without pets were put on a diet program. On average, people lost about I1 pounds, or 5% of their body weight. Their dogs did even better, losing an average of 12 pounds, more than 15% of their body weight. Dog owners didn't lose any more weight than those without dogs but, say researchers, got more exercise overall-mostly with their dogs - and found it worth doing.
50．What does the text mainly discuss?
A．What pets bring to their owners. B．How pets help people calm down. C．People's opinions of keeping pets. D．Pet's value in medical research. 51．We learn from the text that a person with heart disease has a better chance of getting well if
A．he has a pet companion B．he has less stress of work
C．he often does mental arithmetic D．he is taken care of by his family 52．According to Allen, why did the people do better with pets around when l~cing stressful tasks?
A．They have lower blood pressure. B．They become more patient.
C．They are less nervous. D．They are in higher spirits. 53．The research mentioned in the last paragraph reports that
A．people with dogs did more exercise
B．dogs lost the same weight as people did
C．dogs liked exercise much more than people did
D．people without dogs found the program unhelpful

American public education has changed in recent years. One change is that increasing numbers of American parents and teachers are starting independent public schools called charter schools.
In 1991, there were no charter schools in the United States. Today, more than 2300 charter schools operate in 34 states and the District of Columbia. 575000 students attend these schools. The students are from 5 years of age through 18 or older.
A charter school is created by groups of parents, teachers and community members. It is similar in some way s to a traditional public school. It receives tax money to operate a number of students. The charter school must prove to local or state governments that its students are learning. These governments provide the school with the agreement, or charter that perm its it to operate.
Unlike a traditional public school, however, the charter school does not have to obey most laws governing public schools. Local, state or federal governments cannot tell it what to teach.
Each school can choose its own goals and decide the ways it wants to reach those goals. Class sizes are usually smaller than in many traditional public schools. Many students and parents say teachers in charter schools can be more creative.
However, state education agencies, local education-governing committees and unions often oppose charter schools. They say these schools may receive money badly needed by traditional public schools. Experts say some charter schools are doing well while others are struggling.
Congress provided 200 million dollars for establishing charter schools in the 2006 federal budget. But, often the schools say they lack enough money for programs. Many also lack needed space. District officials say they have provided 14 former school buildings for charter education. Yet charter school supporters say officials should try harder to find more space.
Definition Charter schools are called 76. ___________ public schools.
77. _______ between charter school and traditional school ★78. _______ tax money to operate a number of students.
★ Having to make 79. _______ know the students are learning.
★ Getting 80. _________ to operate from government.
81. _______ between charter school and traditional school ★ Not having to obey most laws.
★ Having the 82. _______ to decide what to teach. ★Being free to choose the goals and decide the 83._________
of teaching them.
★Having smaller class sizes.
★Having teachers who are more creative
The problems Education ★These schools receiving money badly

Dear Li Hua，
I’m sorry to hear that you didn’t do well in your last exam．You are not the only one who seems to try his best but endsup with a failure in exams．Quite
a number of students feel the same way as you and they tend to lose their
confidence and don’t want to study hard any longer．I’m sure you know that it’s unwise to do so because you might be left far behind．
I was once in the same situation as yours．Failure is the mother of success．In
face of failure, what we need to do is to calm down and reflect our learning methods and make some possible changes or to ask the teachers for advice．Anyway, Rome is not built in a day．Only by sticking to studying persistently can we make progress step by step till success．I truly hope I can
be of some help to you．
Yours, Zhang Min。
