Unit 3 Digital campus3-2 Text A: College life in the Internet agePre-reading activities 11.Traditional classroom:Advantages: more direct communication between the teacher and students; a better learning atmosphere. Disadvantages: little interaction either among students or between students and the teacher; the teacher tending to dominate the class; writing on blackboard reducing efficiencyMultimedia learning:Advantages: more vivid teaching materials; students better engaged in classroom learning.Disadvantages: too many distractions with too many pictures and videos in multimedia classroomsStudying online:Advantages: being able to choose when and what you want tolearn; easy access to the wide range of online information.Disadvantages: making it easier for students to copy answers from the Internet; lack of face-to-face communication between the teacher and students; the possibility for students to develop Internet addiction2. I prefer the multimedia way of learning. A multimediaclassroom is vivid with teaching materials presented in different ways: slides, pictures, and even movies. Compared with a traditional classroom, a multimedia classroom is more interesting.To be frank, I prefer to study online. In. this way I can manage my own time. I can have my own priorities and do things at my own pace. It is simply what I want.3. Yes. The Internet is indispensable in teaching and learning nowadays. It is hard to imagine what it would be like without the Internet. We would have no easy or quick way to learn about the latest development of teaching and learning. We would miss the many interesting online courses; we couldn't communicateeffectively with teachers after s ) class. We just can't afford to lose the Internet.No. Teaching and learing had been carried out long before the Internet came into being. And people did just as well without the Internet or the compuiter, It is true that the Internet makes teaching and learning more convenient and more efficient, but it is by no means indispensable. I'm sure we can still teach or learn without the Internet.Reading comprehension 1参考:1.A fleet of laptops, smartphones and Internet connectivity 24hours a day.2. Wireless Internet access anywhere and anytime on campus.3. Because smartphones could draw students' attention and encourage sophisticated thinking.4. Because too much time online can mean too little time in real-life studying or exercising or visiting with friends. If we spend too much time online, we will be cut off from the real world.5. They used the money to wire dorms with high-speed connections and equip their campuses with Wi-Fi networks.6. Because the university was afraid that its technology was not as advanced as that of other universities, it gave away free Apple iPads to compensate for its inferiority in this aspect.7. If a university can't keep up with the rest of the world, or if it can't provide high-bandwidth information as expected, it will be at a competitive disadvantage.8. It is mainly because they want to provide students with the most advanced free system.Reading comprehension 21. Yes, I think so. Internet access is a must on campus. We students need the Internet to do research for our study, toobtain information to broaden our knowledge of the world, to communicate with family and friends, and to enrich our lives in our spare time.No, I don't think so. There are many potential disadvantages if Internet access is so easily accessible on campus. Some students may waste too much time in playing online games or chatting online, be tempted to visit "unhealthy" websites, or even become Internet-addicted and neglect their study2.It sounds like an awful idea to me. Obtaining knowledge is only part of learning. Learning not only gives us a wealth of knowledge, it also provides us with great vision, strong principles, social abilities, good manners, interpersonal skills and many more valuable attributes. This obviously cannot be realized by learning at home only with the computer.I think it is a good idea that students can study at home via the Internet in the future. Learning would become more flexible and accessible. This way, college education could become available to many more people, old or young, near or far, healthy or handicapped.3.The Internet and smartphones have become an indispensable part of our daily life because they don't cost much and they make communication much more convenient. We can talk to people, or leave them messages almost anywhere and anytime. And very often we will get responses in no time.With the Internet and smartphones becoming more and more popular, we are forgetting how to write with a pen or how to talk with people face to face. The more we use the Internet and smartphones, the less we meet our friends in real life. Even when friends meet face to face, instead of talking with each other, they all look at their smartphones,checking email or posting something on WeChat.4. Life would be unimaginable without the Internet or smartphones. [ depend on them to do everything, from study to communication, from shopping to entertaining. Without the Internet, the banking systems, the communications systems, in fact all key aspects closely related to people's life will collapse. Life without the Internet would be terrible and simply unimaginable.Actually, I wouldn't mind having a life without the Internet or smartphones. Without them, I would meet my family and friends face to face and spend more quality time together. I might take up some interesting hobbies or try, something new. So, without them life might become even more colorful.3-3 Text A: Language focus:Words in use1. competitive2. transform3. typical4. response5. adopted6. focused7. compensate8. analyze9. regulate10. estimateText A: Language focus: Word building: Practice 11. scenery2. machinery3. detect4. comparative5. explosive6. massive7. representative8. modernize9. characterize10. specialize11. computerize12. summarizeText A: Language focus: Word building: Practice 21. scenery2. machinery3. summarize4. specializes5. massive6. detect7. representative/representatives8. characterize9. comparative10. modernize11. explosive12. computerizedText A: Language focus: Banked cloze1. complex2. access3. preferred4. post5. undergraduate6. seeks7. connectivity8. require9. indispensable10. transformText A: Language focus: Expressions in use1. fired off2. keep up with3. set up4. account for5. stand out6. add to7. take the lead8. at a disadvantage9. in large part10. visit with3-4 Structure analysis and writingStructure analysis: PracticeStructured writing; Practice 1It is not uncommon to see teenagers smoking today. Some of them smoke because of peer pressure. When they see some of their friends smoking, they feel the pressure to try it out in order to "fit in" with the crowd. Some other teenagers smoke because they want to imitate adults or appear to be mature. Teenagerslike to imitate their favorite stars and adults around them. So, parents who smoke may set a bad example for their children. In conclusion, the causes of teenager smoking can be attributed to peer pressure and their intention to look like adults.3-5 TranslationTranslation 1伦敦地铁是英国的一个快速交通运输系统，服务于大伦敦的大部分地区。
