Some people really live in strange places! One Mexican couple have actually been living under a rock for more than thirty years.
This home is in a desert about 80kilometres from the border with Texas. It’s under a big rock. The rock is almost 40 meters long. Hernandez and his wife have built their home under the big rock. They made bricks(砖）by baking clay(黏土)in the sun. The walls are built up from the ground to the rock using these bricks. Windows are holes in the walls.
There are several rooms under the rock. They have a kitchen area. There is a living area with a few chairs. They also have several bedrooms. It is not easy to get food here. The farmer has to drive very far to buy basic goods. There is no running water in this house. They have to collect all the water they need from a river nearby.
Hernandez and his wife have seven children. They have all grown up . They all still live nearby . This family is very proud that they have managed to live so simply and have coped so well on their own land and home under a rock
Out in the desert, the night sky is beautiful! Sitting outside their rock home, the Hernandez family can see clear skies filled with many stars. At the end of a long day, they feel safe and happy in their home.

After school, it’s very difficult for Vishal Singh to make a choice. He knows he should really go on with his homework, but the Internet is so attractive that he can’t really pay much attention to his study.
“Students have always faced distractions(分心) and time-wasters,” writes Matt Richtel in the New York Times. He says that computers are a real challenge for students. They need to pay more attention to their learning.
Students say that their parents are worried about the distractions and try to control their computer time. But it is still difficult to manage the time of using computers.
Teachers at Woodside commonly think technology makes students difficult to concentrate(集中精力) in class, but they are divided over whether computer and the Internet are the solutions.
In Richtel’s article, English teacher Marcia Blondel feels disappointed with her students. She isn’t able to get them to read 30 pages of a book for homework. In order to solve this problem, she asks them to take part in a read-aloud of the book in class.
But as some teachers express their worries over students’ digital diets, seeing it as a way, they are trying to use technology in the classroom to draw the attention of these 21st-century students. The headmaster of Woodside High School, David Reilly, asks teachers to build websites to communicate with students. The students are allowed to use computers., smart phones or other new technology to interact(互动) with their teachers. It’s convenient for them to search for some useful materials that they need before class. With the help of the new technology, the students have more chances to share their ideas with each other and spend less time on video games. So, they pay more attention to their study and they don’t show up with bleary-eyes(睡眼朦胧的) any more. Mr. Reilly also spends a large amount of money building up a multimedia(多媒体) centre and introduce new courses like the digital audio recording(数码录像) class.
“We try our best to take back their attention and make them concentrate on their study,” he says. “To a degree, we’re using technology to do it.”
Some schools are looking to use the Internet to encourage students to study.
1. What’s the trouble with Vishal Singh?2. How do the teachers feel about their students?
3. Why are the teachers trying to use new technology?
4. What may happen to you if you spend too much time on the Internet? How would you like to deal with it?
Being safe at school and in your everyday life needs knowledge. If you remember the following information, your life will be safer.
You should think it over by yourself when you meet trouble at school. If you don’t know how to deal with it, you may ask for help from your teachers or classmates.
If you cannot swim, don’t get into the water. Cry for help if you drop (跌落) into the water. Look after yourself all the time.
Don’t play with matches or candles, because they may cause (引起) fire. If your house catches fire and you have to run away through smoke, move on your hands and knees with your head 30—60 centimetres above the floor. Remember there’s cleaner and cooler air near the floor during the fire.
If you are hit by a car, remember the number of the car. And then call the police or your parents right away.
You must lock the door inside and close the window when you are at home by yourself. You should put the mobile phone near you. Never open the door when you hear someone knocking at the door because your parents have the keys and they know your phone number.
