Instead, they use digital cameras to take pictures of the words that their teachers write on the blackboard or record what their teachers say in class.The children might think there are too many notes to take or their teachers write or speak so fast that they cant take more specific notes. They are trying to find ways to make things easier, so they use digital cameras. In fact, children are very clever to make use of technology.But do digital cameras really make taking notes easier?Not really. Before you read notes from digital cameras, there are a lot of things you have to do. To begin with, you have to find a computer. Then you need to copy the photos into the computer. Next, you have to find a printer(打印机) to print the photos. Another thing is that you cant hear the sound from the digital cameras clearly because there is usually lots of noise. You will have to listen to it slowly several times before you understand everything.In fact, taking notes by hand has many advantages. For example, it can help you remember and understand what you are learning. In order to save time, you can choose the most important things or the things you dont understand to write down. You dont have to write down everything.Dont be afraid to take notes by hand. Its really an effective(有效的) way.（1）Why do more and more students take notes with digital cameras but not by hand? A . Because they want to take right notes.B . Because their teachers want them to do so.C . Because they want to make taking notes easier.D . Because they always want to try new things.（2）The underlined word “specific” means “_” in Chinese. A . 具体的B . 可能的C . 必需的D . 微妙的（3）How many steps do the students need to read the notes from digital cameras? A . Four.B . Three.C . Two.D . One.（4）Which of the following is TRUE about taking notes? A .

Many people drive to work and many children go to school by bus. But I think walking or cycling is a good way. Travelling on foot or by bicycle is good for both you and your children because：It makes your body healthy. It teaches you to travel alone. If more people walk and cycle, it means fewer cars on the road and it will have less pollution. You can do other things with children. Of course, you may not always be able to walk or cycle to school with your child, so you will make sure your child is safe. You can teach your child some traffic rules. Its also important for you to set a good example(榜样)on the road yourself. （1）_ can make you and your children more healthy. A . Driving a carB . Riding a bikeC . WalkingD .

People like to travel on foot or by bike.B . Cycling or walking is a good way to travel.C . Wed better drive to work.D .
