thats long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing - paper. no notebooks, no textbooks, no test paper. nor are there any pencils or pens, which always seem to run out of ink at the critical moment.a “paperless classroom” is what more and more schools are trying to achieve.students dont do any handwriting in this class. instead, they use palm size, or specially-designed computers. the teacher downloads texts from internet libraries and sends them to every students personal computer.having computers also means that students can use the web. they can look up information on any subject theyre studying from math to social science.high school teacher judy harrel in florida, us, described how her class used the web to learn about the war in afghanistan (阿富汗) before.“we could touch every side of the country through different sites from the forest to refugee camps (难民营)”, she said. “using a book thats three or four years old is impossible.”and exams can go online too. at a high school in tennessee, us, students take tests on their own computers. the teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them to his own electronic grade book.a paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. high school teacher stephanie sorrell in kentucky, us, said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper each week to each student.“think about the money and trees we could save with the computer,” she said.but, with all this technology, theres always the risk that the machines will break down. so, in case of a power failure or technical problems, paper textbooks are still widely available for these hi-tech students.46. what does “run out of ink at the critical moment” in the first paragraph mean?a. pens may not write well at the critical moment.b. pens get lost easily, so you may not find them at the critical moment.c. pens may have little or no ink at the critical moment.d. pens use ink, while pencils dont.47. the high school teacher, judy harrell, used the example of her class to show that _.a. the web could take them everywhereb. the web taught them a lotc. the web is a good tool for informationd. the web, better than the textbooks, can give the latest and comprehensive (全面的) information48. the paperless classrooms will benefit _ most.a. students b. teachers c. trees d. computers

almost double that.a study of six big-city ohio public schools showed students who were required to wear uniforms had improved graduation, behavior and attendance rates. academic performance was unchanged.some middle and high schools in texas have also joined the movement. yet studies find mixed results from requiring uniforms. and some schools have turned away from such policies.supporters believe dressing the same creates a better learning environment and safer schools. the school district in long beach, california, was the first in the country to require uniforms in all elementary and middle schools. the example helped build national interest in uniforms as a way to deal with school violence and improve learning.findings in long beach suggested that the policy resulted in fewer behavior problems and better attendance. but researcher viktoria stamison, who has looked at those findings, says they were based only on opinions about the effects of uniforms.she says other steps taken at the same time to improve schools in long beach and statewide could have influenced the findings. the district increased punishments for misbehavior. and california passed a law to reduce class sizes.in florida, for example, researcher sharon pate found that uniforms seemed to improve behavior and reduce violence. in texas, eloise hughes found fewer discipline problems among students required to wear uniforms, but no effect on attendance.sociologist david brunsma has studied school uniform policies since nineteen ninety-eight. he collected the reports in the book. in his own study, he found that reading and mathematics performance dropped after a school in rural pennsylvania required uniforms.political and community pressures may persuade schools to go to uniforms to improve learning. but david brunsma and others believe there is not enough evidence of a direct relationship. in fact, he says requiring uniforms may even increase discipline problems.52. whats the main idea of this passage?a. more and more students are required to wear uniforms in the us.b. wearing uniforms contributes to good academic performance.c. researchers in the us argue for school uniform policies.d. evidence for school uniform policies in the us is seen as weak.53. which was/were the first in the us to require uniforms in all elementary and middle schools?a. six big-city ohio

mordants were found in nature. wool ash is one example. but chemical mordants such as alum are popular today. alum is sold in many stores. it is often mixed with cream of tartar, a fine powder commonly used in cooking.mix eight grams of alum with seven grams of cream of tartar in a small amount of hot water. add the solution to a metal pan of cool water. next, add the wool and place the mixture over heat. slowly bring the liquid to eighty-two degrees celsius. heat the mixture for forty-five minutes. after it cools, remove the wool and wash it.to prepare the dye solution, cover thirty grams of onionskins with water. use only the dry, brown outer skins. boil the liquid until the onionskins lose their color, about forty-five minutes. remove the skins after the dye cools.now it is time to dye the wool. place the wool into the dye and heat the mixture. bring it to a boil, then immediately reduce the heat to eighty-two degrees. now heat the dye for about forty-five minutes or until the wool is the desired color. keep in mind that wet wool looks darker than it is.once the dye cools, remove the wool and wash it. now the wool is orange or yellow. or at least it should be. 57.
