Pupils remember more and behave better when 3D images are used in lessons，research suggests．They are quicker to learn and absorb new concepts，and display higher levels of concentration．
Professor Anne Bamford，of the University of the Arts，London， studied the effectiveness of 3D content in 15 schools across seven countries，including the UK．Pupils in 3D classes can remember more than those in the 2D classes after four weeks，improving test scores by an average of 1 7 percent compared with eight percent for 2D lessons．They gave more detailed answer to the tasks and were more likely to think in 3D, using hand gestures and mime(模仿动作) to answer the test questions successfully．
The teachers commented that the pupils in the 3D groups had deeper understanding，increased attention span．more motivation and higher engagement in the lessons．
Children are used to 3D with the rise of computer games that use the technology—90 percent of those in the study had seen a 3D film．Schools would need 3D—enabled projectors(投影仪)，laptops with good picture capabilities，3D software and glasses for children to introduce animations(动作) into classrooms．
But Danny Nicholson，an educationist，said the technology would be impractical to use in schools and could be costly．He said，“While I think the idea of 3D technology is very interesting， I worry that 3D is a bit of an expensive gimmick(小玩意儿)．There are a few cases where a true 3D image might help，but most of the time，good 2D models that can be moved would be just as effective．”
In the US，one school district in Colorado is already in the process of having 1．000 3D projectors fixed in classrooms．And the University of Caledonia．which carries out scientific research into the Lake Tabon Basin．has used 3D presentations with Grade Six pupils．Those who watched the 3D presentations were more engrossed and reported a general increase in their interest in science compared with students who watched the 2D version．
1.What is the main idea of the first three paragraphs?
A．There are slight differences between 3D and 2D images．
B．Pupils perform better when 3D images are used in classes．

More and more pupils are giving teachers presents, but the practice only creates insecurity in parents and staff.
I’ve certainly noticed some pupils being feverishly overgenerous of late. Last year, I received not one bottle of wine but four for helping a disaffected pupil through his GCSEs. By and large, my colleagues report the gifts differing along gender lines. Gentlemen get ties, mugs, booze and, if they’re really lucky, tickets to football matches. The ladies are often presented with flowers, jewels, chocolates and so on.
When my son was at private school, I noticed there was a real competitiveness between the students about giving presents to teachers, with expensive baskets from fancy stores and huge bouquets being handed out on the last days of term. Since my wife and I only let my son give thank-you cards, it was clear we were not “classy”. Now he is at an inner-city primary, we’ve noticed that this kind of nonsense seems to have more or less disappeared．For one thing, there isn’t that kind of money floating around – but there isn’t that kind of competitive culture either.
Personally, I think gifts to teachers should be banned beyond the thank-you card they cause many more problems than they solve, creating insecurity in both parents and staff. Perhaps the recession and the lack of money in people’s pockets might be a good excuse for the government to issue some guidelines to schools that gifts shouldn’t be accepted by teachers.
The gifts that I really value are the cards which say a genuine thank you. I still keep them in a file at home.
1.What can the author most probably be?
A．A teacher. B．A school nurse.
C．A researcher. D．A gift shop owner.
2.The underlined word “nonsense” in Paragraph 3 refers to the fact that ________.
A．the son only gives thank-you cards to teachers
B．the author and his wife are not classy
C．the son goes to an inner-city primary
D．the students give gifts to teachers
3.To solve the problem, the author thinks it’s a good way to ________.
A．forbid the students to give any gifts to teachers
B．create insecurity by giving thank-you cards
C．make people have less money in pockets
D．issue some guidelines by the government
4.Which of the following can be the best title?
A．Don’t Forget to Give Gifts to Your Teachers
B．Presents Won’t Make Pupils Teachers’ Pets
C．Learn the Competitive Culture of Gifts
D．Refuse Presents from Your Students

Motto is a short statement giving a rule on how to behave , 1. can inspire us especially when we are 2. (face) with difficulties. Many of us have our mottoes, such as “Where there is a will, there is a way.” Or “Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it.”, and so on. My motto is “God helps those who help 3. .” Sometimes I am lazy and don’t want to make efforts 4. (work) hard, 5. the moment I think of my motto I will get energetic again and devote myself 6. what I am doing. I write my motto 7. I can see it easily. Every time I fail in my exam and begin to lose heart, the sight of my motto inspires me with much 8. (confident). My motto also makes me become 9. independent person. That is to say, I won’t rely on others easily.
My friends, what is your motto? If you still haven’t got a motto, please choose 10. because a motto can have a great effect on you.
