littlesandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow. come in and ill make you a cup of hot cocoa. they walked over and sat down at the table. their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. i servedthem cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. then i went back to the kitchen and started cooking. the silence in the front room struck me. i looked in. the girl held the empty cup in her hands,looking at it. the boy asked in a flat voice, lady, are you rich? am i rich? pity, no! i looked at my worn-out slipcovers(椅套). the girl put her cup back in its saucer(茶碟)carefully and said, your cups match your

their final examination, one young woman quickly took a picture of the board using her smart phone. when i looked in her direction, she apologized: “sorry. was it wrong to take a picture?”“i cant read my own handwriting,” the young woman explained.“its best if i take a picture of your writing so i can understand the notes.”that remark started a class-wide conversation about taking a picture instead of taking notes. for those in the photo-taking camp, motivations extended beyond their inability to comprehend their own handwriting. some took pictures of notes because they knew their phone was a safe place to store material. they might lose paper, they reasoned, but they wouldnt lose their phones. some took photos because they wanted to record exactly the manner in which i had noted information on the board. others told me that during class they liked to be able to listen to the discussion attentively.yet the use of cameras as note takers, though it may be convenient, does raise significant questions for the classroom. is a picture an effective replacement for the process of note-taking?instructors encourage students to take notes because the act of doing so is more than merely recording necessary informationit helps prepare the way for understanding. encouraging students to take notes may be an old-fashioned instructional method, but just because a method has a long history doesnt mean its out of date. writing things down engages a students brain in listening, visual, and kinesthetic（触觉的）learninga view supported by a longstanding research. the act of writing down information enables a person to begin committing it to memory, and to process and combine it, establishing the building blocks of learning new concepts.taking a picture does indeed record the information, but it deletes some of the necessary mental engagement that taking notes employs. so can the two be equally effective?im not sure how to measure the effectiveness of either method. for now, i allow students to take notes however they see fithandwritten or photographedbecause i figure that some notes, no matter the method of note-taking, are better than none.8. the woman apologized in the class because she_.a. took a picture of the boardb. missed the teachers directionsc. had the bad handwritingd. disturbed other students learning9. students refuse to take notes by hand because_.a. they are unable to take notesb. they are more likely to lose notesc. they are interested in using their phonesd. they have a good memory of teachers instructions10. according to the passage, taking notes by hand_.a. requires students to think independentlyb. is unsuitable for students to learn new ideasc. helps students actively participate in learningd. proves to be an old and useless learning method11. what might be the best title for this passage?a. a modern way of note-taking in class.b. will note-taking by hand in class be replaced?c. an interesting thing happened in class.d. the importance of note-taking.d.at a primary school in a small town in the east of south carolina, second-grade teachers garneau and lynne are assured that separating elementary-age boys and girls produces immediate academic improvement in both genders（性别） david chadwell, south carolinas expert of single gender education says, “boys and girls learn, hear and respond to their surroundings differentlywe can teach boys and girls based on what we now know” male and female eyes are not organized in the same way, he explainsthe organization of the male eye makes it sensitive to motion and direction“boys understand the world as objects moving through space,” he says the male eye is also drawn to cooler colors like silver and blackits no accident that boys tend to create pictures of moving objects instead of drawing the happy colorful family, like girls do in their class the female eye, on the other hand, is drawn to warmer colors like red, yellow and orangeto attract girls, chadwell says, the teacher doesnt need to move as much as in boys classusing descriptive phrases and lots of colors in presentations or on the blackboard gets their attention boys and girls also hear differently“when someone speaks in a loud tone, girls understand it as yelling,” chadwell says“they think youre mad and can shut down” girls are more sensitive to soundshe advises girls teachers to watch the tone of their voicesboys teachers should sound more forceful, even excited a boys nervous system causes him to be more cautious when he is standing, moving, and the room temperature is around 69 degrees fahrenheitstress in boys, he says, tends to increase blood flow to their brains, a process that helps them stay focusedgirls are more focused when seated in a warmer room around 75 degrees fahrenheitgirls also respond to stress differentlywhen exposed to threat and conflict, blood goes to their guts（肠道）, leaving them feeling nervous or anxiousthese differences can be applied in the classroom, chadwell adds“single gender programs are about making the best use of the learning”12. what is the meaning of the underlined word “assured” in para1?acommanded bcombined cconcerned dconvinced13. to engage boy in a class, the teacher _amust have a moving object in this hand bneeds to wear clothes in warm colorchas to speak politely dhad better move constantly while teaching14.
