Recently, many English teachers from universities all over China came together. They discussed h   1   to use newspapers to teach English. Wu Ping, a university professor, said that her university has b  2   a course on newspaper reading for freshman English majors. They use English newspapers to t___3___. It is said that the s   4   enjoy the course. “They say newspapers help them learn English, and also tell them the latest news a   5  the world,” he said.
Outside the classroom, English newspapers are thought by many people to be o  6 of the most important and effective ways to learn English. One of the professors believes that newspapers are better t    7   other teaching materials in four ways. First, the stories are i   8   and can get the students to read on. S  9  , the language is modern and up-to-date. Newspapers cover lots of topics like sports, culture, e   10    and so on. And last but not least, the language is very practical, and can be used in our daily life.

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.

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

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

A. similar            B. unforgettable         C. special         D. unpleasant

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.

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

American schools are quite different from those in China. In America, at the beginning of the term, students must select their courses and teachers first. While in China students usually have no chances to select their courses and teachers.

Selecting is very important for your grades in America. So at the first term, don’t select too many courses, 74.or you’ll feel very nervous and it may influence your study. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, time arranging, marks and textbooks. At the same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If the teacher is called “killer” by the last grade, many students will give up choosing him. Because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades.
There is another thing after you select the course and the teacher. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. Each copy is about $30～50. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library. You must get enough ready before class. In class, discussing is very important. 75. 老师鼓励你提出问题或展示你自己的观点。They don’t usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to sit or stand everywhere you like. They don’t give you much homework to do. You can learn some knowledge and do exercises by yourself. So in American schools, you must do almost all things yourself.
