The hotel workers received him and telephoned the manager, for they had never seen a bicycle in the hotel hall before though they lived in “the kingdom of bicycles.”

Robert, an American, arrived in Xi’an on his bicycle trip across Asia which started last December in New Delhi, India.

When he was 11, he read the book Marco Polo and made up his mind to visit the Silk Road. Now, after 44years, he was on the Silk Road in Xi’an and his early dreams were coming true.

What are American high schools like? Well, I’m happy to tell you what I know.

When I started school here, it had already been a week since the school opened. At this school, new students usually go on a trip for about three days at the beginning of school. Unfortunately I missed that wonderful trip, which would have been the best time to get to know my classmates. I felt sad.

But gradually I liked my new life and school.

There is a space in the basement(地下室) of the teaching building where students chat and meet each other. As we do not always have the same classrooms and classmates, the school wants us to get to know each other there. Students usually come to school early, sit in that space and have fun.

It really surprises me that we have almost no textbooks. We only have textbooks for World History and Algebra 2(代数2) and they are big and heavy, like bricks. Without textbooks, students learn things freely and actively. For example, my humanities teacher just teaches us what is in her

mind at the time. We never know what we will learn.

Another difference is that American schools care about student’s morality more than their studies. For example, if you do not finish your homework, you will just be asked to do it later, but if you cheat or lie, you will get a warning or even be kicked out.

I think that most students here are good at schoolwork as well, but compared to Chinese students, they can make learning a more joyful experience. 71. What was the writer sad for?

A. He was late for school. B. He didn’t know anyone C. He missed the trip at the beginning of school.

72. Why do students go to the basement of the teaching building?

A. To attend class. B. To have fun. C. To share a classroom. 73. How do teachers in the US teach the students?

A. Whatever they want to. B. They use bricks. C. Some use textbooks; some teach freely.

74. According to the passage, in American high schools,.

A. you are likely to be kicked out if you cheat

B. you’ll be punished if you do not finish your homework C. students are better at school work than Chinese students 75. The main idea of the passage is about .

A. what American high schools are like

B. American students care much about the grades they get C. Chinese students are looked down upon in America

More and more people believe that technologies are great for learning. Today, such teaching tools as iPads are used in a lot of courses, including language, history and science.

Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom. Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos, students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.

The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own steps. Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it, so they can save time for doing other things. Other students, however, might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it. Using iPads is especially helpful to students who are learning a language at different steps.

The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn (such as watching movies). The class has become much more interesting and creative.

There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching motes are stored in their iPads and are easy to find. Some students spend more time studying now. “I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait until I get home,” a student explained.

Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are bad for students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more time watching videos on an iPad, he will have fewer opportunities to have face-to-face communication with others.

However, technologies are already a part of most students’ lives. As for cheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make changes with the time as technology is playing an important part. We should look forward to wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to classroom. Things or ideas 1.such as iPads. Advantages for students Introductions More and more people use them for learning courses today. ▲Teachers think students can have more time for discussion and learn at their own steps.
