When the bell rings, every student takes out an iPad. The light from the screens makes their young faces pretty and lively.
That’s what happens every day at my school in the US. We use iPads in class.I felt surprised and excited when I got an iPad on the first day I arrived at the school. But it was not free. I paid about $100 to use it for three years.
Every iPad at my school has a special learning system (系统) called Focus. Teachers put their teaching materials like textbooks and PPTs on it. When we have classes, we enter the system and download (下载) the materials with our iPads.
It makes the classes interesting and efficient. For example, several weeks ago, we learned about former South African president(总统) Nelson Mandela. Our teacher
prepared a video in which Mandela made an encouraging speech. We could not only watch the video, but also read the written copy of his speech at the same time. Thanks to the video, I know more about the great man.
We also do our homework with iPads. If the homework is made up of multiple choices (选择题), we can know our grades right after we hand in our homework online. If it’s articles, teachers grade them online, without needing to look through so many papers.
However, there are still some bad points about learning with iPads. Some of my classmates play games or log on social networking websites in class.
I think the key to using iPads well is to have good self-control (自制力). Do n’t you think so?

As we know, there are differences between western culture and Chinese culture. We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used. Let’s look at the words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese about dog, for example, a homeless dog, a mad dog and a dog catching a mouse, have negative meanings. But in
western countries, dogs are thought to be honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive actions. For example, You are a lucky dog means you are a lucky person. And every dog has its day means each person has good luck
sometimes. To describe a person’s serious illness, they say sick as a dog. The word dog-tired means very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in western culture, cat is often used to describe a woman who is cruel.
The rose is regarded as a symbol of love in both China and some western countries.
People think the rose means love, peace, courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of England, America and many other countries.
The words about plants and animals are used in positive or negative ways in
different cultures. We can learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words used.
( )57. Every dog has its day means _______.
A. everybody in the world is lucky
B. each person lives his own way of life
