When I was in fourth grade I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs. Stanley was one of my customers. She’d watch me coming down her street, and by the time I’d biked up to her doorstep, there’d be a cold drink waiting. I’d sit and drink while she talked.

Mrs. Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband, “Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning.” she’d say. The first time she said that, soda(汽水) went up my nose.

I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she’d work it out of her system. So that’s what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery(墓地).

I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn’t see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a church fund-raiser(募捐活动). She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy. Four years before, she’d had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on.

I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids. She asks me how I’m doing. When I don’t say “fine”, she sticks around to hear my problems. She’s lived in the city most of her life, but she knows about community. Community isn’t so much a place as it is a state of mind. You find it whenever people ask how you’re doing because they care, and not because they’re getting paid to do so. Sometimes it’s good to just smile, nod your head and listen.

21. Why did soda go up the author’s nose one time?

A. He was talking fast. B. He was shocked.

C. He was in a hurry. D. He was absent-minded.

22. Why did the author sit and listen to Mrs. Stanley according to Paragraph 3?

A. He enjoyed the drink. B. He wanted to be helpful.

C. He took the chance to rest. D. He tried to please his dad.

23. Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “work it out of her system”?

A. recover from her sadness B. move out of the neighborhood

C. turn to her old friends D. speak out about her past

24. What does the author think people in a community should do?

A. Open up to others. B. Depend on each other.

C. Pay for other’s help D. Care about one another.

C

The introduction of the iPad,with its touch screen technology,has allowed even very young children to take advantage of a computer.So what if all children in a school were given an iPad to use in class and take home with them?

Anne Laure Bazin works in a school where every child,teacher and teaching assistant is given a free iPad to use in and out of lessons.For her,the main advantage of everyone having an iPad had been the improvement in communication.Documents can be emailed straight over to workmates during a meeting.Children submit their homework by email,or through the school’s learning environment.Teachers now take the register（点名）using their iPad,which means that there is a record of which children are in school,and which classroom they are in.

The use of iPad has encouraged greater sharing of resources among teacher.All communication with parents is now done by email.Working as a group in class is much easier as children can share documents.The whole class can look at one child’s work by attaching（连接）the iPad to the whiteboard.If a child has forgotten the textbook,the teacher can take a photograph of the relevant（相关的）page and send it to the student in class.

While the use of the iPad in schools has revolutionized（变革）the way children are taught ,it hasn’t completely replaced more traditional methods of teaching .Worksheets are still used in class as some children prefer the contact with paper.The children all have a textbook and exercise books.In Anne Laure’s school,parents feared that the iPads would replace exercise books and children would lose handwriting skills.Anne Laure says,” The teacher are not ready to let go of the traditional style of teaching.We have welcomed the iPads in so much as they help communication and widen the resources available but we are not ready to let go of paper yet.The children themselves still value their exercise books and depend on them for review.”

25. The underlined word “submit” in the second paragraph means________.

A. discuss B. share

C. hand in D. send out

26. What is an advantage of using iPads in the classroom?

A. It saved students bringing the textbooks.

B. It reduces parents’ worry about teaching.

C. It improves the relationship between teachers.

D. It makes it convenient to share information.

27. What is parents’ attitude towards the use of iPads in the classroom?

A. Worried B. Indifferent

C. Annoyed D. Doubtful

28. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

A. Teachers prefer traditional methods of teaching.

B. The iPads won’t take the place of printed materials.

C. More and more schools are using iPads.

D. Exercise books are more valuable now.
