I love my Blackberry mobile phone – it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. However, I know there are times when I need to move away from these things and truly communicate with others.
I teach a course called History Matters in college. My goals for the class include a deep discussion of historical subjects and ideas. Because I want students to fully study the material and discuss with each other in the classroom, I have a rule – no computers, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule, some of them were not happy.
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 infer 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

Passage 1 Mobile Phone Madness
How much do you love your mobile phone? A Chinese student had to call 110 for help this week after he got his arm stuck in a toilet trying to rescue(援救) his mobile phone. After dropping his phone in the toilet, he decided to wrap(包,裹) his arm in newspaper in the hopes of keeping clean. But the newspapers became larger in size in the water, and then even his roommates couldn't help him pull his arm out. So policemen were called and they spent an hour unsticking the stuck student.

“Your hair looks great!” “I love your new mobile phone!” “You really did a good job!” These are some popular English compliments you might hear. In the UK and many other western countries, complimenting someone is a useful way to help break the ice and start a nice conversation. It is normal to compliment people for their clothes, hair or taste in general. The most common compliments are on someone’s appearance (You look beautiful!), possessions (财产) (What a fantastic car!), performance (That was a really interesting speech!), skills (You speak French really well!).
If an English speaker compliments you, there are different ways to reply. Some people may say “Thank you”. They may also return the compliment (You look great, too!) or play it down (This shirt? It’s really quite old.).
No matter how they reply to the compliments, don’t be afraid to compliment someone in English. You’ll probably make their day!

Recently, to keep in touch while I am abroad, my mum decided to create a Weibo page. My mum only has 11 “friends"--two of them are me and my sister! And she comments on EVERY THING we do. It drives me crazy!
My mum has also recently heard of the “selfie (自拍) ” and tried to take few to show that she is “down with the kids”.
