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 a game, just remember…they could do both at the same time!

Do you know any 9?year?olds who have started their own museums? When Theodore Roosevelt(罗斯福) was only nine, he and two of his cousins opened the “Roosevelt Museum of Natural History”. The museum was in Theodore's bedroom. It had a total of 12 specimens(标本). On display were a few seashells, some dead insects and some birds' nests. Young Roosevelt took great pride in his small museum.
Born in New York in 1858, Theodore Roosevelt was not always healthy. “I was a sickly, delicate boy，” he once wrote. Roosevelt had a health condition called asthma(哮喘). He often found it hard to breathe.Instead of playing, he observed(观察) nature and then read and wrote about it.
Roosevelt's interest in nature sometimes got him into trouble. Once, his mother found several dead mice in the icebox. She ordered him to throw them out. This wasindeed “a loss to science”， Roosevelt said later.
Because Roosevelt was often sickly as a boy, his body was small and weak. When he was about 12, his father urged him to improve his body. Roosevelt began working out in a gym. He didn't become strong quickly. But he did decide to face life's challenges with a strong spirit. That determination stayed with Roosevelt his whole life. And finally his body did get strong. As an adult, he was an active, healthy person. He enjoyed adventures and loved outdoors.
In 1900, at the age of 41, Roosevelt was elected Vice President. A year later, President McKinley was shot and killed. Roosevelt became the 26th president of the USA.At 42, he was the youngest leader the country had ever had.
1.What is the main idea of the first paragraph?

C. Roosevelt was a brave man.
D. Roosevelt had a small museum as a boy.
2.Which of the following tells about Roosevelt as a boy?
A. He liked playing outdoors sports.
B. He became the President in 1901.

3.It can be inferred(推断) that________．

B. Roosevelt followed his father's advice
C. everyone with asthma is small and weak
D. working out in a gym is a waste of time
4.In which book might you find this passage?

1.D 2.C 3.B 4.D 【解析】试题分析：本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了美国前总统罗斯福小时候因体弱多病，所以花更多的时间观察自然，因此对自然很感兴趣，并成立了自己的小小博物馆。后来他坚持锻炼身体，渐渐地他变得健康、强壮起来，成为了一个积极进取、敢于面对生活中的压力和挑战的人。在他42岁时，他成为美国历史上最年轻的国家领导人。 1.题意：第一段的主要意思是什么？...查看答案和解析>>

Emily and Anne did know, of course. They had known about Charlotte’s book for a long time. Jane Eyre was not the first book that Charlotte had sent to a publisher. Over a year ago she had written another book, The Professor, and sent it to one publisher after another. Each publisher had sent it back, in a packet addressed to Currer Bell. And then Charlotte had sent it, in the same old packet, to another publisher, and then another, and got it back again.
“Why didn’t you change the paper on the packet, my dear?” I asked.
Charlotte smiled. “I didn’t think of it, papa. The worst day was when we were Manchester, going to the eye doctor. Do you remember? The packet came back then. That was the day before I started writing Jane Eyre.”
“Do you mean that you started writing Jane Eyre while I was lying in the dark room in Manchester?”
“That’s right, papa.”
“But that’s only six months ago, and here is the book in my hand!”
“Yes, papa. The book was printed a month later after I sent it to the publisher.”
“My dear! They decided very quickly that they liked it, then!”
“I think they did, papa. After all, it is a good book, isn’t it?”
She smiled at me. I don’t think I have ever seen her so happy. She is a very small person. Charlotte, and not a beautiful woman, but when she smiles like that, her face shines like a fine painting. My wife used to look like that sometimes when I first met her.
I took her hand in mine. “It is a very good book, my dear. I cannot tell you how proud I am.”
She touched my hand. “Thank you, papa. But you must not be proud of me alone. You know, another two of your daughters—Anne and Emily…”
“Oh, no, Charlotte, please!” Emily said.
But Charlotte did not stop. “Anne and Emily have written good books too, and their books will soon be published as well! Let me introduce them to you, papa. These young ladies—Anne and Emily, are “not” your daughters—they are separately Acton Bell and Ellis Bell, brothers of the famous writer Currer Bell!”
Emily’s face was bright red, but Anne and Charlotte started laughing. I was very surprised.
“All three of you!” I said. “But—but why do you use these strange names?”
“Because people are stupid, papa.” Anne said. “No one thinks women can write good books, so we have used men’s names. And now they say that Currer Bell is a writer who understands women very well!” She laughed again.
1.Why didn’t Charlotte change the paper on the packet?
A. Because she hated to change the paper. B. Because she liked the paper very much.
C. Because she had no money to buy the paper. D. Because she didn’t think of changing the paper.
2.Which is the right time order of what happened in the story?
a. The book Jane Eyre was published.
b. Charlotte wrote a book named The Professor.
c. Charlotte wrote a book named Jane Eyre.
d. The family went to the eye doctor in Manchester.
e. The books by Charlotte’s sisters would be published.
A. b→e→d→c→a B. e→a→b→d→c C. b→d→c→a→e D. e→b→c→a→d
3.To make their books published, Charlotte, Emily and Anne used men’s names, which are separately ______.
A. Currer Bell, Ellis Bell and Acton Bell B. Currer Bell, Acton Bell and Ellis Bell
C. Ellis Bell, Acton Bell and Currer Bell D. Acton Bell, Ellis Bell and Currer Bell
4.Which is the best title for the story?
A. Big surprise from daughters B. Advice from Father
