enthusiastic about computer games in education that she thinks they can be used to teach programming skills which will help students in collegestarting in middle school.canadian teacher justin holladay wrote a few simple games to help his students practice math skills, and when they caught on, he started his own company to create more of them.and the university of washingtons zoran popovic got more than 4,000 washington students to master their lessons this spring by playing a computer game for just a few hours.the growing availability of inexpensive tablet computers and a new generation of young teachers who grew up playing on computers have spurred (激发)interest in games for serious purposes.“six or seven years ago, selling games to schools was forbidden,” said david martz of muzzy lane software, a boston, us company that produces games for publishers such as mccraw-hill. now, he said, schools are interested in the promise of gamesperhaps because gaming is so much more popular.software and education companies have tried for many years to combine youngsters passion for computer games with educational progress, without much success.popovic thinks the first effort to combine games with education fell flat because they were created by commercial companies. these companies were more interested in selling products than seeing students master a skill.teachers say there are some pretty good games in the marketplace now.holladay, the math teacher from alberta, canada, began moving paper-based math games to the ipad, building games that allowed students to compete with each other and giving them instant feedback(反馈) on their progress.the game reinforced(加强)the lessons he was teaching, and his students had fun playing, he said. “they were a lot more engaged.”21. what factors have helped promote computer games in schools according to the article?a. the affordability of tablet computers.b. the preferences of young teachers.c. the advertisements of commercial companies.d. parents support.e. better games being produced.a.a,b,cb.a,c,dc.a,b,ed.b,d,e22. what is holladays attitude towards the idea of using computer games in class?a. it allows students to learn in a fun way.b. it is not as helpful as people thought it would be.c. it reduces the interaction between teachers and students.d. it sounds good but it makes it inconvenient for teachers to get feedback from students.23. the writers attitude towards the use of computer games for education is.a. objectiveb. negativec. criticald. supportive.ba dutch cyclist who says he was

jonge, a 29-year-old rider for the tereng-ganu team in malaysia, said in a statement on his website that hes been inundated (使应接不暇) with media requests since talking about his fortunate change of plans.“im frankly overwhelmed (顾不过)by the number of requests,” jonge said. “what has happened is terrible; so many victims, thats a horrible thing. from respect for the victims and their families, i

yet i am very pleased im unharmed.”according to his website, jonge, who finished 35th at the dutch cycling event, was still planning to fly to malaysia yia frankfurt on sunday.“i have been lucky

behavioural problems, according to a study released tuesday.“the risk was higher when the kids themselves began using cell phones at a very early age,” researchers reported in the journal of epidemiology and community health.leeks kheifets of the university of california at los angeles and colleagues examined the health records of 28,000 seven-year-olds and their mothers enrolled in the danish national birth cohort. the survey, which included nearly 100,000 women between 1996 and 2002, was designed to track the long-term health of the children. mothers supplied detailed information about their lifestyles, diet and habits during and after pregnancy, including cell phone use. when their kids reached the age of seven, moms were again quizzed on their own and their childrens health and behaviour.the researchers found that kids who had been exposed to mobile phones both before and after birth were 50 percent more likely to have behavioural problems. kids exposed to cell phones only while in the womb(子宫)were 40 percent more likely to show abnormal behaviour, with the percentage dropping to a fifth for children whose first access to the devices occurred after they were born.the results mirror an earlier study by the researchers of 13,000 other mothers and their kids enrolled in the same national survey. in both groups, about three percent of the children were found to exhibit abnormal behavior, with another three percent borderline(介于两者之间/不明确的).the author cautioned against drawing a straight line between cell phones and difficult children, but said the findings were troublesome. “although it is premature(不成熟的/仓促的) to interpret these results as causal, we are concerned that early exposure to cell phones could carry a risk which, if real, would be a public health concern given the widespread use of the technology.” they concluded.27. which of the following best summarizes the passage?a. cell phones can do harm to childrens growth.b. children suffer more from cell phone used.c. a new side effect of cell phones has been proved.d. cell phone use is linked to childrens behavioural problems.28. the researchers thought their findings were troublesome because the findings.a. could be interpreted as causalb. still lacked solid evidence.c. could cause great concern among cell phone usersd. could make the cell phone manufactures angry29. what can we infer from the passage?a. pregnant mothers should limit their cell phone use.b. children are allowed to use cell phones too early.c. cell phone use has no long-term effect on children.d. cell phones have no bad effect on children who use them late.30. the underlined part “drawing a straight line” in the last paragraph probably means “”.a. giving a clear explanationb. drawing an absolute conclusionc. finding the shortcutd. telling the differencedbill fulton doesnt remember losing his wallet, but its return helped him remember the past. the leather stayed smooth and the cowboy design

carefully following the laws of learning:space your learning.36 each session may take one half hour to an hour and a half, depending on the amount of material and on your own speed of learning. do one or two sessions at a time-three if youre going strong and are all involved-and always decide when you stop and exactly when you will return.37 everyone learns at a different pace. fast learners are no better than slow learners-its the end result that counts, not the time it takes you to finish.review.when you start a new session, go back to the last exercise of the previous session, cover your answers, and see how much you remember. 38 test yourself.you are not aiming for a grade, or putting your worth on the line, when you take the comprehensive tests. 39 you are deciding where repairs have to be made, and especially, you are experiencing a feeling of success at work that is well done.use these tests, as well as the abundant drill exercises, as aids to learning. no one is perfect, no one learns in the exact same way or at the same speed as anyone else. 40 and then, give yourself every opportunity to exploit your actual, latent, and potential abilities.but most important of all, as i will remind you several times throughout this book, develop a schedule and stick to it!a. do you have quick recall after a day, or you simply forget everything?b. this approach works better than any other method for learning words.c. on the contrary, you are discovering your weaknesses, if any.d. every chapter of this book is divided into “sessions.”e. real learning goes on only through active participation.f. do not rush-go at your own comfortable speed.g. find the optimum technique and speed for your unique learning patterns.第一节

in the us, but i do have some 42 with them. when i was a child, growing up in a small town with very little 43 , we used to go to the station to watch the passenger trains coming in. there was something 44 about the steaming, roaring string of cars coming into view around the mountains, slowly growing larger and 45 and finally 46 crowds of strangers onto the platform. i took my 47 train trip when i was ten years old. i went with my elder sister to visit our cousins six hundred miles away. the train-so loud and violent on the outside-was 48 and rocking inside. we were very excited, and as that was also our first time away from our parents, we felt somewhat frightened too. however, because i had 49 so much, i was a little disappointed when i was finally one of the passengers i had 50 for so long.as a college student, i 51 ride overnight train to my roommates hometown. we could never afford a 52 , so we played cards, sang, ate, read and talked 53 we finally fell
