language learning. however, they are not reading in textbooks, but on the screens of tablet computers linked to a wireless network. the school recently became one of a handful of schools in the capital to take this plunge. the tablet roll-out is a trial designed to discover new ways to inspire children to learn, according to school head wu youying. as a trial site, the school has encountered various teething troubles with the project - including difficulties in network instability, shortage of e-textbook resources and limitations with charging the devices. more resources are turning up, though.li jiangnan, a teacher with the school, explains that students use the tablets in three classes - chinese, math and english. in lis class, students follow the teachers guidance on drawing chinese characters on their touchscreens. if correct, the strokes turn red, while incorrect ones remain their original color, turning the dull writing practice into a vivid online game. however, not everyone is convinced. netizens have expressed concerns that electric screens may harm childrens eyesight. the authorities should study whether using tablets would have this impact, and that it is irresponsible for the government to take action without such due diligence, according to a post by internet user wang jiafu. parents also fretted that the youngsters, lacking self control, will log onto instant messaging tools or games as soon as their teachers backs are turned. allowing pupils unlimited access to the internet is likely to distract their attentions as well as deprive them of imagination, said one parent on condition of anonymity.education expert liu yongming, notes beijings attempt to incorporate high technology into traditional classes follows current worldwide teaching

maldives cuts your blood pressure, helps you sleep better and bounce back from stress, it found. the benefits last at least a fortnight longer than the vacation and can be felt for months in some

legal career and dreaming of sitting on a supreme court bench somewhere. twenty-one years later i am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell. my grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. she was the first in our family to reach that goal. but one year after i started college, she developed cancer. i made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. it meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait. then i got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. in 1999, we adopted our first son. to lay eyes on him was fantastic-and very emotional. a year later came our second adopted boy. then followed son no. 3. in 2003, i gave birth to another boy. you can imagine how fully occupied i became, raising four boys under the age of 8. our home was a complete zoo-a joyous zoo. not surprising, i never did make it back to college full-time. but i never gave up on the dream either. i had only one choice: to find a way. that meant taking as few as one class each semester. the hardest part was feeling guilty about the time i spent away from the boys. they often wanted me to stay home with them. there certainly were times i wanted to quit, but i knew i should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.in 2007, i graduated from the university of north carolina. it took me over 21 years to get my college degree！i am not special, just single-minded. it always struck me that when youre looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when youre in the midst of it, it just seems normal. everything you want wont arrive in your life on one day. its a process. remember: little steps add up to big dreams.36. when the author went to howard university, her dream was to be _. a. a writerb. a teacherc. a judged. a doctor37. why did the author quit school in her second year of college?a. she wanted to study by herself.b. she fell in love and got married.c. she suffered from a serious illness.d. she decided to look after her grandma. 38. what can we learn about the author from paragraphs 4 and 5?a. she was

following can best describe the author?a. caring and determined.b. honest and responsible.c. ambitious and sensitive.d. innocent and single-minded.（d）an idea that started in seattles public library has spread throughout america and beyond. the concept is simple: help to build a sense of community in a city by getting everyone to read the same book at the same time.in addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. the idea came from seattle librarian nancy pearl who launched the if all of seattle read the same book project in 1998. her original program used author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the idea has since expanded to many other american cities, and even to hong kong.in chicago, the mayor appeared on television to announce the choice of to kill a mockingbird as the first book in the one book, one chicago program. as a result, reading clubs and neighbor-hood groups sprang up around the city. across the us, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about the plot and characters. the only problem arose in new york, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. this may show that the idea works best in medium-sized cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity can be achieved. or it may show that new yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book rather than discussion about a book itself.ultimately, as nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.41. what is the purpose of the project launched by nancy?a. to invite authors to guide readers.b. to encourage people to read and share.c. to involve people in community service.d. to promote the friendship between cities.42. why was it difficult for new yorkers to carry out the project?a. they had little interest in reading.b. they were too busy to read a book.c. they came from many different backgrounds.d. they lacked support from the local government.43. according to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?a. in large communities with little sense of unity.b. in large cities where libraries are far from home.c. in medium-sized cities with a diverse population.d. in large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.44. the underlined words “shared a word” probably mean _.a. exchanged ideas with each other b. discussed the meaning of a wordc. gained life experience d. used the same language45. according to nancy, the degree of success of the project is judged by .a. the careful selection of a proper bookb. the growing popularity of the writersc. the number of people who benefit from readingd. the number of books that each person reads第二节
