【推荐3】Using iPads to Make Learning Fun
Paper, pencil, whiteboard, textbook are the tools you need if you want to go to school. But recently, you can add another one to the list: an iPad.
Because the popular Apple tablet is not only useful for searching the Internet and watching videos, but it is also being used to make learning fun.
Scientists now know that we learn better when we are enjoying ourselves, so recently software developers have made iPad applications (应用程序) that look like video games, but have strong educational content. One of the best examples of this new form of teaching application is Futaba, a game in which up to four children try to recognize a spinning (旋转的) object, and then identify what it is. The game can be used to teach English, math, foreign languages, or just about anything, and students love it. Teachers can even make their own questions. The important thing is that children enjoy the game, and don’t even realize how much they are learning!
So the next time you have to choose between making your child study or letting them play a game, just remember—they could do both at the same time!
1. Futaba is ________.| A．an old kind of classroom | B．a new outdoor activity | C．a new educational application | D．a very old tool of teaching |
| A．7. | B．6. | C．5. | D．4. |
| A．Scientists think that we learn better when we are enjoying ourselves. | B．Futaba can only be used to teach languages. |
| C．Teachers can make their own questions using Futaba. | D．The writer thinks children can study and have fun playing games at the same time. |

【推荐2】A new movie called YOLO—You Only Live Once (《热辣滚烫》) hit the big screen on the second day of the Chinese Lunar New Year in 2024. The Chinese actress Jia Ling plays the main role in it and works as the director (导演). It was not her first time working as a director. Her first directorial movie was Hi, Mom (《你好，李焕英》) in 2021.
This new movie is about a woman called Du Leying. Du Leying still lives with her parents in her 30s. One day, she meets a boxing coach (拳击教练) who may change her life.
Many people watch the movie because they want to know how she can lose 50 kilos. In Jia Ling’s eyes, the movie is not about boxing or weight loss (减肥), but a warm-hearted story about “learning to love yourself”.
Jia Ling is now popular in China. She has received the love and respect (尊重) from the audience (观众) for her movie YOLO this year. However, her success was not all plain sailing. In order to have the best result out of the movie, Jia Ling worked really hard on weight loss for a different image (形象) from the past.
Though I like the movie, I clearly know that it’s not easy for people to lose 50 kilos in just one year. Losing weight is a long-term goal that consists (组成) of many short-term goals (目标). It’s good to do sports and keep on doing it.
