Using iPads to Make Learning Fun

    Paper, pencil, whiteboard, textbook are the tools you need if you want to go to school. But recently, you can add another one to the list: an iPad.

    Because the popular Apple tablet is not only useful for searching the Internet and watching videos, but it is also being used to make learning fun.

    Scientists now know that we learn better when we are enjoying ourselves, so recently software developers have made iPad applications(应用程序) that look like video games, but have strong educational content. One of the best examples of this new form of teaching application is Futaba,a game in which up to four children try to recognize a spinning(旋转的)object,and then identify what it is. The game can be used to teach English,math, foreign languages, or just about anything, and students love it. Teachers can even make their own questions. The important thing is that children enjoy the game, and don't even realize how much they are learning!

    So the next time you have to choose between making your child study or letting them play game, just remember——they could do both at the same time!

(1)、What can be added to the school thing list according to the passage?
A、An ipad. B、An English textbook. C、A pencil. D、A whiteboard.
(2)、What does the underlined word "tablet"probably mean in Chinese in this passage?
A、药片 B、掌上电脑 C、牌匾 D、桌子
(3)、Futaba is _______.
A、an old kind of classroom B、a new outdoor activity C、a new educational application D、a very old tool of teaching
(4)、How many children can take part in one Futaba game at a time?
A、7. B、6. C、5. D、4.
(5)、Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A、Scientists think that we leam better when we are enjoying ourselves. B、Futaba can only be used to teach languages. C、Teachers can make their own questions. D、The writer thinks children can study and have fun playing games at the same time.

The world itself is becoming much smaller by using modern traffic and modern communication means. Life today is 1 easier than it was hundreds of years ago, but it 2 new problems. One of the biggest is pollution. To pollute means to make things dirty. Pollution comes in many ways. We 3 see it, smell it, drink it and even hear it. 

Man has been polluting the earth. The more people, the more pollution. Many years ago, the problem was not so serious 4 there were not so many people. When the land was used up or the river was dirty in a place, men moved to another place. But this is no longer true. Man is slowly polluting 5 whole world. 

Air pollution is still the most serious. It's bad to all living6 in the world, but there is not only one kind of pollution. Water pollution kills our fish and pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us7 angry more easily.

Many countries are making rules to fight pollution. They stop people from 8 coal in houses and factories in the city, and from blowing dirty smoke into the air. 

The pollution of SO2 is now the most dangerous problem of air pollution. It 9 by heavy traffic. It is certain that if there are fewer people driving, there will be less air pollution. 

The earth is our home. We must take care of it. That means keeping the land, water and air clean. And we must be careful of the rise in population 10 the same time.

The name of every British town and city has a long history. 

Two thousand years ago, most people living in Britain were Celts(凯尔特人). Even the word "Britain" is Celtic. Then the Romans arrived and built camps. These camps became cities called "castra". This is why there are so many place names in England that end in "-chester" or "-caster". Manchester is one example. 

After the Romans left Britain, it was attacked by Anglo-Saxon people and became its new owners. These people were from the area that is now Germany and the Netherlands (荷兰). The names of their villages often ended in "-ham" or "-ton". Some got their names from the leaders of the villages, so Birmingham, for example, means "Beormund's village". 

Twelve hundred years ago, Vikings(维京人) came to England. They traded with the Anglo-Saxons but lived in their own villages. These often ended in "-by" or "-thorpe". The name "Kirkby" means "a village with a church(教堂)" and Scunthorpe was the village of a man called Skuma. Finally, in 1066, England became Norman(诺曼人的)—the Normans gave us the place name "grange", which means "farm". 

And how about London? Experts cannot agree! The Romans called the city Londinium, but they were not the first people there. People once believed that the United Kingdom's capital city was named for the castle(城堡) of a king called Lud, but this is almost impossible. Our best guess today is that the name comes from a Celtic word meaning "a fast-flowing river".

Have you ever felt uncomfortable? Many of1 feel uneasy when someone stands too close2 us, talks to us too 3 or makes eye contact with us for too long. But have you ever wondered why those things make you uncomfortable?

It's all about private(私人的) peace, which means not only4 imaginary space around the body, but also the space around all the5 . People feel that their space is being violated(侵犯) when they meet with an unwelcome sound, smell or look. This is probably why a man on a crowded bus shouting into his mobile phone or a woman next to you putting on strong perfume (香水) makes you feel6 .

7 people have had a stronger wish to protect their personal space or not in recent times is hard to say. Yet studies of airlines show that people have a strong desire(渴望)8 space to themselves. In a survey by Trip Adviser, a travel website, people said that if they.9 pay more for some extra service, they would rather have larger seats than extra food.

Although people may need their personal space, some hardly realize it. For example, people on a bus who hold newspapers 10 their faces to read in fact keep a distance from strangers.

Go and watch a library table. You will notice 11 one of the comer seats will usually12 first, because they are the farthest way. What if someone sits opposite to you? Maybe you will pile up books as if to make a wall,13 ?

Preference(偏好) for personal space are different from culture to culture. Scientists have found that Americans generally prefer more personal space than people from 14 cultures. In Latin cultures,15 , people are more comfortable standing near each other.
