2 . More and more people believe that technologies are great for learning. Today, such teaching tools as iPads are used in a lot of courses, including language, history and science.

Many teachers are supporters（支持者）of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom. Instead of spending class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos, students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.

The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own pace. Some students might listen to a conversation only once and understand it, so they can save time for doing other things. Other students, however, might need to listen to the same conversation again to understand it.

The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn (such as listening to stories and watching movies ). The class has become much more interesting and creative.

There are other advantages（优点）for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching notes are stored（分类）in their iPads and are easy to find. Some students spend more time studying now. “I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait until I get home,” a student explained.

Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are bad for students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate（分隔）students from each other.

However, technologies are already a part of most students’ day-to-day lives. As for cheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make changes with the times as technology is playing an important part. We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.

3 . Thomas Edison was an American inventor. When he was 7 years old, his mother had anappendectomy(阑尾切除手术). But it was too dark. So Edison put mirrors(镜子)near oil lamps (油灯) to light up the room

The story is in a Chinese textbook for primary school students by People’s Education Press(人民教育出版社). Perhaps many of you have read it before. But the publisher (出版社) recently said itwill cut out this story. That’s because many people think it’s not true. Many believe that the world’s first appendectomy was in 1886. But when Edison was 7, it was 1854.

The publisher also said it will not use some other stories. For example, there’s a story about the first US President George Washington. The story says young Washington cut down a cherry (樱桃) tree in the yard of his house. But in fact, there was no cherry tree in the area at that time

So what’s the problem? Experts (专家) say that some editors (编辑) care too much about the educational meaning of stories, without checking if the story is true first.

The publisher says, in the future, they will pay greater attention to the truth of the stories in the textbook. “We will invite experts to check our stories,” it said in a statement.

Many people believe that technologies (技术) are great for learning. Today, teaching tools such as PDAs ( personal digital assistant掌上电脑) are used in a lot of subjects, such as English.

History and Science.

Many teachers are supporters of using PDAs in language learning. There are several advantages (好处). They say students can have more time for discussion in the classroom because they can get ready for their lessons with the help of PDAs. For example, they can listen to articles at home. They also say that PDAs can help students learn without teachers' help. Some students might need to listen to an article many times to understand it. They can use PDAs to listen to it again and again.

The students are also happy to use PDAs. They think using PDAs is an enjoyable way to learn. It will make the classes much more interesting. And they can learn more in class. Teaching notes are stored in their PDAs and easy to find.

However, many parents complain (抱怨) that PDAs are doing harm to students. They worry that students will use them to download (下载) teaching notes and use them to cheat (作弊) during exams. If a student spends more time on a PDA, he will have less time to talk with teachers and classmates.

In a word, education needs to make changes with times as technology is playing an important part. Let's look forward to a wonderful future when PDAs and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.

It organized a two-week trip to a self-support education base.     3    100 students went there and learned basic life skills during the trip. Shen overcame her fears and cooked her    4    dish-braised pork. “It was so tasty!” Shen said.

Since they were    5    from their parents, the students had to do everything themselves. Xu Ke, 13, learned to wash clothes, clean rooms and cook. “All of these    6    made me more independent”, Xu said.

9 . 请阅读 Amy 在她的个人主页上写的一篇日志,根据所提供的信息,回答下列问题。

A few days ago, I was walking down the street when I met a group of students in uniforms. I was shocked to see that the girls’ skirts were very short and they were wearing a lot of make-up. The boys looked very untidy. Their shirts were dirty and some of them even had their shirt fronts open. I noticed that some of the students had their ears and noses pierced, which should not be allowed at school. And the other day, I was on the subway when I saw some boys wearing uniforms of the same local school. Instead of sitting quietly, these boys kept making noises and saying dirty words. All the other passengers were looking at them and wondering how it was possible for students like these boys. They were really showing a bad image （形象）of their school, which was shameful. I am a mother of two teenagers of the same school. After seeing those boys and girls, I am worried if my children also behave like this. I don’t know about it. Do students in this school know what is allowed when they are wearing the school uniforms ? I think the school should be stricter with the students. And I think all the students should be taught how to be polite.

10 . Which do you prefer to use when you are studying, ipads or books? Here is     1     survey about it. Some students think that iPads are     2    (good), because iPads can give them more choices. They can search for information in an iPad easily instead of     3    (look) everything up in different books. At the same time, students can send pictures     4    (direct) to a printer to photocopy them. With an iPad, they can keep all     5    (they）work in it. And homework will not be     6    (forget) easily because teachers can send all the homework to their iPads.

But     7    (other) think that books are more helpful for learning.     8    , reading books won’t hurt their eyes. Second, what they read in books can leave a deeper    9    (impress）on them. What’s more, some students usually use ipads to play games at school, which is bad     10     their study. So they prefer to use books.
