But his playmates would always give him a name of their own. No matter what his parents called him, his childhood friends would use the name they had chosen. Often it was not pleasing, such as Bow Legs or Bad Boy. But sometimes a name fit so well that the youngster found it difficult to shake it off. If he could not earn a better one from a war later, he could be stuck with a name like Bow Legs for the rest of his life.The Indian earned his real name when he was old enough for his first fight against the enemy. His life name depended on how he acted during this first battleWhen he returned from the war, the whole tribe（部落）would gather and observe the ceremony in which he would be given his name by the chief. If he had done well, he would get a good name. Otherwise he might be called Crazy Wolf or Man-Afraid-Of-a-Horse. So an Indians name told his record or described the kind of man he was.A man was given many chances to improve his name, however. If in a later battle he was brave in fighting against the enemy, he was given a better name. Some of our great fighters had as many as twelve namesall good and each better than the last.An Indians names belonged to him for the rest of his life. No one else could use them. Even he himself could not give them away because names were assigned by the tribe, not the familySo no man could pass on his name unless the chief and the tribe asked him to do so.Sometimes an Indian would be asked to give his name to a son who had performed a noticeable deed. I know of only three or four times when this happenedIt is the rarest honor for a personthe honor of assuming（承担）his fathers name.63. An Indian could be given the second name by_. A. his fatherB. the enemy C. the chief of the tribe D. his childhood friends64. The greatest honor an Indian could earn was_. A. a victory in his first battle against the enemy B. a name given by the chief C. a ceremony to get his real name D. the right to use his fathers name65. If an Indian had more than ten names, it meant that_. A. many people in the tribe liked him B. he was a great fighter C. he had a lot of friends D. he had fought in fewer than ten battles66. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? A. The names given by the playmates of an Indian were usually not pleasant B. The life name of an Indian was earned in battles C. An Indian could throw away his birth name when he was old enough to earn one for himself. D. The Indians themselves were not allowed to give their names away.BThe gray-haired lady cant wait to leave the building to search for her dad. Unless watched, she will walk in the streets in an effort to find her father, who died 30years ago.Not all cases of Alzheimers disease look like this, but Alzheimers is a serious disease that is said to be the fourth or fifth leading cause of death for people over age 75.It is said that about three percent of the U.S. population over age 65 have Alzheimers .In the early stages, people may exhibit short term memory loss. Some may experience changes in personality, easy to be angry. As the disease progresses, patients might lose the ability to move and may be unable to speak or move at all. This progressive disease generally lasts 8 to 10 years before death occurs.While no one is certain what causes these changes in the brains nerve fibers(神经纤维), their effect is certain. Alzheimers destroys not only the patients, but also spouses（配偶), friends and families.What should you do if you notice progressive memory loss in yourself or a loved one? Have the person examined by a doctor who is a specialist in the treatment of Alzheimers disease? Though many reasons other than Alzheimers disease may cause memory loss, its early diagnosis（诊断）and treatment may delay some of the most serious effects.What feeling will you likely experience should a loved one suffer from Alzheimers disease? A person will often go through the various stages of sadness, shock, anger, and so. If the spouse develops the disease, you may experience hurt and disappointment when he or she doesnt remember you are married.Life for the Alzheimers patients and their loved ones will never be the same as the disease progresses, bringing a deep sorrow, loss and even anger towards God. No matter what feelings are present, facing them honestly will serve one better than burying them.67. What can be inferred from the passage about the gray-haired lady? A. She has been living with her father. B. She was sad about the death of her father. C. She cant search for her father without being watched. D. She suffers from Alzheimers disease.68. When people suffer from Alzheimers disease, _. A. their families and friends will suffer from the same disease B. their families and friends will experience mental sufferings C. they will certainly die in 8 to 10 years D. they will forget everybody but their spouses69. Memory loss occurs _. A. from Alzheimers disease and nothing else B. from sadness, shock, anger, and so on C. for a number of reasons D. with changes in personality70. From the passage we know that_. A. early treatment may stop Alzheimers disease occurring B. it is still unknown what causes the changes in the brains nerve fibers C. nerve fibers in the brain will cause Alzheimers disease D. when one suffers from Alzheimers disease, he will be buriedC Students and Technology in the ClassroomI love my blackberry(黑莓手机)its my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices（设备） and truly communicate with others.On one occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule no laptops, IPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.Most students think that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. Theres a bit of truth to that. Some students think that I am anti-technology. Theres no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration(专心) and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course material and the class discussion.Ive been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.Im not saying that I wont ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, Im sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.71. Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with_. A. the course material B. others misuse of technology C. discussion topics D. the authors class rules 72. The underlined word “engage ”in para.4 probably means _. A. exploreB. acceptC. changeD. refuse 73. According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may _. A. keep students from doing independent thinking B. encourage students to have deep conversations C. help students to better understand difficult themes D. affect students concentration on the
