举一反三

The warm day was the only day of the week without rain. I opened the door and went to the yard, took a seat and began to enjoy the wonderful sunshine. Suddenly, I noticed that the house near mine had been sold. An elderly lady was in front of the door, with some beautiful flowers beside her. I walked to her. She looked to be in her early eighties and had the prettiest white hair.
“Hi! My name is Robert,” I said smiling brightly at the old lady. She smiled back and said, “Hello, Robert. I’m Charlene.” Her voice was very strong for someone at her age. Later, I learned she was alone and had no family or relatives to look after her. From that day on, I often visited her and helped her with her housework and sometimes she gave me some delicious food. A year passed, and I considered Charlene to be one of my best friends.
One day, I walked over for my morning visit and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. I knocked again, and she still didn’t turn up. So I let myself in, using the key she had given me. I checked her living room and then her kitchen. I finally went into her bedroom, and she was lying peacefully on her bed. Beside her there were two notes. One was her will(遗嘱), which said all that she had would be given to me. The other was a thank-you note. I went to her bedside and cried sadly.
Although it has been a long time, I still miss her deeply. Whenever I look at the beautiful flowers in front of her house, I remember the wonderful friendship we had.

Most students think my reasons for this rule include negative experiences in the past when students made wrong use of technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. I’ve seldom had students make wrong use of technology in my classes; however, I have been e-mailed by students while they were in other teachers’ classrooms.
Some students think that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. As I noted above, I love technology and try to keep up with it.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations. Interruptions (中断) by technology often break students’ thoughts and make them depend too much on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep in themselves for ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course material and the class discussion.
I have been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations (评价) show student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize with deep conversation and difficult tasks, they learn at a deeper level – a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.
I am not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I will continue my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.
小题1:The writer’s rule for his History Matters class is ____.

A．discussing historical ideas deeply

B．studying and discussing the materials

C．leaving technology out of the classroom

D．making right use of technology in class

小题2:The word “negative” in Paragraph 3 means ____.

A．similar

B．unforgettable

C．special

D．unpleasant

小题3:What can we know from the passage?

A．Students make right use of technology in other teachers’ classes.

B．The classroom is one of the good places to have deep conversations.

C．The writer encourages students to agree with others after discussion.

D．Students are unhappy with the writer’s way of teaching history.

小题4:The writer wants to tell us that ____.

A．technology has different influences in different classes in college

B．technology makes it difficult to have true communication in class

C．history classes can help students to develop their deep thinking

D．it is time for him to give up his teaching method in history class

What do you think Americans in the early twentieth century (1900--1925) did on weekends? What do they do on weekends now?

Then
Once upon a time, people spent lots of time at home on weekends. Then new inventions changed the weekends. People used electric（电动的） streetcars to travel in cities. On weekends, they rode the streetcars to parks. Young people liked roller coasters.（过山车）The first movie lasted only one minute. Soon movies lasted longer. In the 1920s, movie theaters sold millions of tickets each week. In 1927, movies eventually（最终） had sound. Sometimes, people stayed at home instead, and listened to another new invention—radio. People in cities worked indoors during the week, so they wanted to be outdoors on weekends. Bicycling became a popular activity.

Now
With more time, money and inventions, people have many more choices.
They can visit large parks like Disney World and ride modern roller coaster that go higher and faster than ever before. They can choose from lots of different movies at a multiplex (a building with many movie theaters) or watch a video at home. Many people jog （慢跑）, bicycle, work out at the gym, or play sports. Others turn on their TV and watch sports.

小题1:Before the early twentieth century, Americans used to spend their weekends .

Missing friends who live far away? Or just need a little family comfort after a long day? Sometimes you just need a hug(拥抱). And sometimes there’s just no one around to give you one. So what do you do? How about a virtual (虚拟的) hug?Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have invented a social media vest (社交背心) that allows people to give hugs to their friends, family and loved ones on Facebook.
The vest is called Like-A-Hug, which is connected(连接) with your Facebook page. Whenever Facebook friends “Like” a photo, video or anything you post on the network, a fan will blow air into the vest to give you a hug. Hugs can also be sent back to the sender by pressing the vest to lose air, according to the website of designer Melissa Chow.
She worked with Andy Payne and Phil Seaton at the MIT Media Lab to build the black vest, making the wearer “feel the warmth, encouragement, support, or love that we feel when we receive hugs.” Melissa Chow said, “We came up with the idea over a free talk about long-distance relationships and the disadvantages of video chat interfaces (视频聊天界面) like Skype.”
Chow and her workmates actually finished work on the vest last year, but it’s only just recently drawn the attention of the public.
Chow provided no pricing or ordering information for the Like-A-Hug vest, so don’t expect to see people blowing up all over town just yet.
Although researchers believe that Like-A-Hug will cause a worldwide storm, a lot of people think it can’t take the place of the feeling of a real hug. Body temperature or the taste of hair and so on is far from what a social vest can match.
小题1:What is the main purpose of the text?

A．To show how to design a magic vest.

B．To suggest a newly-built website.

C．To introduce a virtual social media vest.

D．To explain the weak points of Skype.

小题2:The vest “Like-A-Hug” would probably be most helpful to ________.

A．those who play computer games

B．those who need comfort or support

C．those who design chat interfaces

D．those who like to give others hugs

小题3:What can we learn about Melissa Chow?

A．She built the vest all by herself.

B．She expects to sell the vest at a high price.

C．She made the vest public last year.

D．She got the idea for a vest while chatting.

小题4:We can learn from the text that the Like-A-Hug vest ________.

A．can be ordered on Facebook

B．can take the place of a real hug

C．can not only be used by Facebook users

D．produces a hug when you get a Facebook “Like”
