A new policy put in place at the beginning of the school year by the Aztec School Board forbade cell phones from the school’s campus. “They are interrupting the educational process,” said Kirk Carpenter, the Aztec High School headmaster. “There is no educational benefit from having them here.” The new policy started recently afrer long discussions between school and district managers. Aztec school officials said that cell phone use had become a problem during testing sessions. Carpenter said, “There are also a lot of issues with cell phones. The bottom line(问题的关键) is that they are not in line with what we are trying to do bere, which is providing an education for our students.” Although the headmaster has heard of no serious objections to the new rule, the complaint he hears most often is parents’ being concerned about contacting students directly in case of an emergency. “That actually slows down the process,” said Carpenter. “If a parent calls a student’s cell phone, it still needs to go through the office. We can’t just let the student leave school. We don’t know who is on the line. They will still need to call the office to get their children free to leave.” “If you need to contact a student, you can and they will give a message to the student. It still works well,” he added. Aztec official Linda Paul said, although she never imagined the effect cell phones would have on education, she supports the decision made by the school. Paul added that AHS is not the only campus in the district to have taken such measures. Cell phone use for teachers, of course, is a different matter. “We hope our teachers know enough not to be on the phone during class, ” Paul said. “I have never seen one of my teachers on the phone during class. ” 小题1:What is the best title for the passage?

第二部分:完形填空 It was a normal Monday morning at an assembly, and the old headmaster was addressing the students on important things in life and about 21 ourselves to what is important to us.
