26、Using iPads to Make Learning Fun

Paper, pencil, whiteboard, textbook are the tools you need if you want to go to school. But recently, you can add another one to the list: an iPad.

Because the popular Apple tablet is not only useful for searching the Internet and watching videos, but it is also being used to make learning fun.

Scientists now know that we learn better when we are enjoying ourselves, so recently software developers have made iPad applications (应用程序) that look like video games, but have strong educational content. One of the best examples of this new form of teaching application is Futaba, a game in which up to four children try to recognize a spinning (旋转的) object, and then identify what it is. The game can be used to teach English, math, foreign languages, or just about anything, and students love it. Teachers can even make their own questions. The important thing is that children enjoy the game, and don’t even realize how much they are learning!

So the next time you have to choose between making your child study or letting them play a game, just remember—they could do both at the same time!

【1】Futaba is ________.

A．an old kind of classroom

B．a new outdoor activity

C．a new educational application

D．a very old tool of teaching

【2】How many children can take part in one Futaba game at a time?

A．7.

B．6.

C．5.

D．4.

【3】Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A．Scientists think that we learn better when we are enjoying ourselves.

B．Futaba can only be used to teach languages.

C．Teachers can make their own questions using Futaba.

D．The writer thinks children can study and have fun playing games at the same time.

27、   An arts program is helping students at some of the lowest performing schools in the United States. The program, called Turnaround Arts, aims to help improve low performing schools by adding music and the arts to the usual study program.

Turnaround Arts was started by Michelle Obama, the wife of former U.S. President Barack Obama. Some money for the program comes from the federal (联邦) government. For the students at attending schools, the program offers a kind of safe place from city neighborhoods. Many of the children come from areas with high crime rates.

Turnaround Arts is a partnership between the federal government and private businesses. Florence Griffith Joyner Elementary is one of the 68 schools in the U.S. taking part in the program. Teachers receive special training and look for ways to add music and the arts into all the classes. Turnaround Arts schools partner with musicians and actors who work with the students. Performers have included Yo-Yo Ma, Sarah Jessica Parker, Elton John and Cameron Diaz.

School headmaster Long noted “The children were so excited and have been so excited because it’s not just about—’Go to the board. Do the problem. Turn the page. Read the book’; it’s about acting and imitating (模仿) artists and historic characters.” She noted how some students got the chance to act out the process of a caterpillar (毛虫) becoming a butterfly. “I like to act and I like to sing and I like to dance,” said 10-year-old Kayla Driakare.

Long said that Turnaround Arts was only in its first year at the school, and teachers were already seeing results. “We’ve probably suspended (暂时停学) one kid this year. That’s amazing,” she said. “Parents are getting phone calls to come to family arts night, and it’s not just the naughty calls home. It’s for them to come and learn more about what their children are learning. So our parents’ engagement goes up.”

【1】Turnaround Arts started by Michelle Obama ________.

A．helps students who behave badly get high grades

B．aims to improve teachers’ and students’ performance

C．gets money only from the federal government

D．provides students with a chance of having a way to musicians and actors

【2】What can be inferred (推断) from what Principal Long said?

A．Students love this program very much.

B．Students can learn how to act from this grogram.

C．This program makes students know science well.

D．Students can perform themselves well during the program.

【3】The underlined word “engagement” in the last paragraph means “________”.

A．the money they should pay

B．the level they can take part in

C．the decision they make

D．the problem they solve

【4】What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A．To advertise for a project.

B．To introduce an arts program of the USA.

C．To call on people to support some lowest performing schools.

D．To encourage more American schools to take part in Turnaround Arts.

One of the most famous s【1】   to study adaptations (适应) was Charles Darwin. He was born in E【2】   in 1809.

Twenty-three years later, Darwin p【9】 an important scientific paper with another man n【10】 Wallace. Darwin described how some animals have adaptations that help them survive.
