15、as a truck driver in Los Angeles. One day, while sitting outside in his garden, he watched planes fly overhead and an idea came to him: to use balloons to fly. A few weeks later, Ted bought 42 huge balloons. He tied them to a chair and then he sat down in the chair with some beer, sandwiches and a g

16、un. His plan was to fly to 10 meters above his garden, enjoy a few hours in the air, and then shoot some balloons with his gun to get back down. But things did not go as he planned. Once his friends cut the ropes under Teds chair, the 42 balloons flew into the sky at an astonishing speed until about

Ted Brown became famous because he set a new flying record.C Why Do People Blink Their Eyes?People blink(眨眼) their eyes tens of thousands of times every day. Scientists have long believ

22、ed blinking was a natural movement and served mainly to keep the eyeballs wet. But a new study suggests it has a more important purpose.An international team of scientists from the University of California studied the blinking of human eyelids. The journal Current Biology published their findings. T

23、he team said they found that blinking “repositions our eyeballs so we can stay focused” on what we are seeing. They said that when we blink our eyelids, the eyes roll back into their sockets(眼窝). However, the researchers found the eyes dont always return to the same position. They said this causes t

24、he brain to tell the eye muscles to reorganize our eyesight.Gerrit Maus , an assistant professor of psychology at a Technological University, said, “Our eye muscles are quite sluggish(迟缓的) and unclear, so the brain needs to repeatedly adapt（适应于） its motor signals to make sure our eyes are pointing w

25、here theyre supposed to. Our findings suggested that the brain measures the difference in what we see before and after a blink, and commands（指挥） the eye muscles to make the needed corrections.” The researchers said that without such corrections our surroundings would appear unclear and even jumpy. T

26、he researchers said they asked volunteers to sit in a dark room while staring at a small dot on a flat surface. They used special cameras to follow the volunteers blinks and eye movements. After each blink, the dot was moved one centimeter to the right. The volunteers did not notice this, but the br

27、ain did. It followed the movement and directed the eye muscles to refocus on the dot. After the dot was moved in this way 30 times, the volunteers eyes changed their focus to the place where they predicted it would be.Professor Maus said, “Even though participants did not consciously（自觉地） register t

28、hat the dot had moved, their brains did, and adjusted with the corrective eye movements. These findings add to our understanding of how the brain constantly adapts to changes, commanding our eye muscles to correct for errors in our bodies own hardware.”27. According to the new study, blinking eyes c

31、s from teachers and parents? What if using social media was an assignment（作业）?In America, the push for more technological classrooms comes from things like smart boards and online textbooks. Some feel that interaction between students and teachers over social media is a bad thing, but others see the

32、 benefits. Barrington history teacher Robert Seidel uses the social networking website Twitter to interact with his class. He said technology is a valuable tool in his classroom.“What matters most is how the teacher is using technology, and I have found that technology can help me increase the numbe

33、r of students who actively participate in my course,” said Seidel.Humanities and media teacher Scott Glass from Glenbrook South High School in Illinois believes that social media like Twitter can connect students to the professional world and give them a chance to get their names out there as soon a

34、s they can.“I think students are sometimes surprised by how easy it is to connect with professionals,” Glass said. “A simple Google search for any profession will turn up many individuals and organizations who are active on platforms like Twitter.”However, there are problems with putting class work

35、on social platforms (平台). Many teachers, including Seidel, believe that social media and technology in general can easily distract(使分心) students. However, they hope they can find a way to use it properly.“For teachers and students, technology has become both a powerful tool for learning and a potent

36、ial distraction in the classroom,” Seidel said. “Not only can it improve collaboration, communication and creation in endless ways, but it can also serve as an infinite（极大的） distraction. Properly using technology in the classroom requires additional management from the teacher as well as a great dea

37、l of self-discipline (自律) from the students.”Glass believes its very important for schools to teach students how to use social media. “As a teacher, I think part of my job is to help students understand how best to make use of it as thoughtful learners and creators,” said Glass. 30.

38、media, _.A. it will be easier for teachers to observe students performance B. students will become more actively involved in coursesC. students will become independent learnersD. fewer students will attend the class31.
