Before me was a worn journal of thin and discolored pages. It was my grandfather’s journal and now belonged to my father. My grandfather had passed away in the months leading up to my birth. I never got to visit the places he had frequented and the people who had been a part of his life’s journey.I was now about to enter his world, through the words he had left behind. Within minutes, I was captivated by the power of the writtenwords. In the magical script (笔迹) before me, I was transported to another age when food was an everyday art, planned, prepared and enjoyed in the company of others, and a time when people had the heart to pause their own lives to embrace (拥抱) each other’s struggles. All this was conveyed to me in the beauty of the words that flowed together to connect with the writer’s mind and understand the world they lived in.That kind of writing seems to be lost on us today. We have gotten used to writing in bite-sized pieces for a public looking for entertainment, and hungry for information. No wonder, there are nearly 200 million bloggers on the Internet and a new blog is created somewhere in the world every half a second. Instead of adding to our collective wisdom, most of these writings reflect the superficiality (肤浅) and impatience of our day and age.This not only robs us of the skill of writing impressive essays, it also prevents us from exploring what is indeed important. Writing humbles(使谦卑) us in a way that is vital for our character growth, by reminding us about the limits of the self and our appropriate place in the vast flow of life. Writing frees us by helping us explore the unknown so that we really open up to magic of the world around us. I saw all of this in the writing of my grandfather. And I’ve se en it again and again in the writings of the greatest thinkers of humanity. Their writing reflects deep thought on issues of human importance.5.

Explaining a scientific concept in only 140 characters can be almost impossible.Ryan Becker teaches physical science. He didn’t discover Twitter until 2011, when he attended a technology conference with a session on using the network to connect with other teachers. “I knew nothing about Twitter or Facebook, ” he recalls. “But the description sounded interesting. ”Becker soon realized that he didn’t want to limit Twitter to teachers interacting with other educators. “I thought, ‘Why can’t kids realize all of these uses? ’” And to find out, he began including Twitter into his classes.Becker’s school provides all of its students with netbooks. Becker let the kids set up Twitter accounts. For kids who do get accounts, Becker makes sure those accounts are protected. By that he means each student has to approve all followers, and his or her tweets will not be visible to people outside that protected-follower list.Once his class had signed up, Becker had them Tweet during class time. He used Twitter himself to share science videos and articles withhis students as he ran across them—things he might not have had time to load and share during class periods.“One of my big reasons for using Twitter is that I try to get students to connect science to their own lives. ” he says.Becker stresses that his use of Twitter is only in the classroom. “Usually if I’m asking them to use it. I’m giving them time in class, ” he notes. “It’s not meant to supplant (代替) classroom learning. It’s meant to complement and extend it. ”But teachers will need to be careful that the students who use Twitter in class don’t have their horizons expanded too broadl y, says DeRosier. If inappropriate things end up filling students’ feeds, the teachers may pay the price, she warns, because “When things go wrong on the Internet, they go catastrophically wrong. ” She recalls the case of a high school teacher who was being filmed using Twitter with his class.9. What role does Becker’s Twitter play in his class?A. To connect with his students easily.B. To engage students in meaningful science.C. To explain scientific concepts briefly.D. To replace classroom learning with Twitter.10. How did Becker protect his students’ Twitter accounts?A. They accept their parents as followers.B. Their tweets are open to all followers.C. All students but others follow their tweets.D. They can tweet only 140 characters.11. What can we infer from what DeRosier said?A. Teachers need to end students’ feeds suitably.B. Teachers will pay for the cost of using Twitter.C. Teachers shouldn’t film students with Twitter.D. Teachers should mind the content on Twitter.12. What is the best title for the text?A. A teacher invites Twitter into classroom.B. Twitter comes into the life of students.C. Science is easily spread on Twitter.D. Students learn about Twitter at class.DReading instruction in the classroom is a key concern for all teachers and there are many ways to go about it. However, is our determination to achieve excellence in reading skills in our children killing their love and enjoyment of a good book?In my work with parents, I am frequently asked the best ways to encourage reluctant readers to be engaged with books. Parents report that their children return home from school with no inclination to pick up a book and read.Any eager reader will gladly talk about the joy with a good book to read away the hours on a cold, rainy afternoon. Reading a good book is one of life’s greatest pleasures. We need to share these experiences with our children in order to assist them in developing into strong readers. But the use of boring, mass-produced home reading texts in children’s early years at school can be seen as the beginning of this negative cycle.As child ren progress through their schooling life, there are many other instances of learning reading skills that don’t help reading development. Frequently, teachers feel the pressure to give their students “just enough” in terms of reading strategies to b e able to achieve the test, which leaves little time to focus on reading for pleasure.Kelly Gallagher, a high school teacher, outlines the term “Readicide” in his book. He says it’s: the systematic killing of the love of reading, often worsened by foolish, boring practices found in schools.Recent research shows that many teachers tend to follow the traditional literacy practices that they have experienced in their own education, which can often have negative intentions for their students.While teaching children key concepts for analyzing and evaluating texts is important, the manner in which it is done and time that is spent on this can lead to unexpected results. Schools aren’t to blame when it comes to not arresting students’ lack of interest in reading, but they have an important role to play in fostering reading enjoyment.13. What does the underlined word “inclination” in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Energy.B. Task.C. Intention.D. Requirement.14. According to the text, teachers at school ______.A. focus on teaching reading strategiesB. ignore key concepts for analyzing textsC. are to blame for students’ poor readingD. fail to follow the traditional reading practices15. What might be the most suitable title for the text?A. Reading books is to experience pleasureB. Learning to love books is even more importantC. Teaching reading helps reluctant readersD. Getting pleasure from books makes capable readers二．七选五根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
