Students and Technology in the Classroom
I love my blackberry — it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer,as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices(设备)and truly communicate with others.
On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule — no laptop, iPads, phones ,etc .When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.
Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course the material and the class discussion.
I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.
I’m 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’m sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.
1.Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with _______.
A.the course material |
B.others’ misuse of technology |
C.discussion topics |
D.the author’s class regulations |
2.The underlined word “engage ”in paragraph 4 probably means _______.
A.explore |
B.accept |
C.change |
D.reject |
3.According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may _______.
A.keep students from doing independent thinking |
B.encourage students to have in-depth conversations |
C.help students to better understand complex themes |
D.affect students’ concentration on course evaluation |
4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author _______.
A.is quite stubborn |
B.will give up teaching history |
C.will change his teaching plan soon |
D.values technology-free dialogues in his class |

It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers (生产商)follow certain uniform standards for various features(特征)of clothes.What seems strange,however,is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men.Take a look at the way your clothes button.Men’s clothes tend to button from the right, and women’s from the left.Considering most of the world’s population—men and women — are right-handed,the men’s standard would appear to make more sense for women.So why do women’s clothes button from the left?
History really seems to matter here.Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the l7th century,when rich women were dressed by servants.For the mostly right-handed servants,having women’s shirts button from the left would be easier.On the other hand,having men’s shirts button from the fight made sense,too.Most men dressed themselves,and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt.
Today women are seldom dressed by servants,but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them.Is it interesting? Actually,a standard,once set,resists change.At a time when all women’s shirts buttoned from the left,it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women’s shirts that buttoned from the right.After all,women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch.Besides,some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the fight,since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men’s shirts.
1.What is surprising about the standard of the clothing industry?
A.It has been followed by the industry for over 400 years. |
B.It is different for men’s clothing and women’s. |
C.It works better with men than with women. |
D.It fails to consider right-handed people. |
2.What do we know about the rich men in the 17th century?
A.They tended to wear clothes without buttons. |
B.They were interested in historical matters. |
C.They were mostly dressed by servants. |
D.They drew their swords from the left. |
3.Women’s clothes still button from the left today because _______.
A.adopting men’s style is improper for women |
B.manufacturers should follow standards |
C.modern women dress themselves |
D.customs are hard to change |
4. The passage is mainly developed by ________.
A.analyzing causes |
B.making comparisons |
C.examining differences |
D.following the time order |
