A sudden call came into Jimmy Gilleece’s cafe this past March. A newly married woman who had spent the afternoon at the dive beach cafe couldn’t find her wallet. She didn’t care about her ID card, credit cards, or $150 in cash---but her wedding ring was placed exactly inside.

Gilleece, 42, didn’t like the idea that someone lost things at his place, so he set out to find the wallet. He spent hours looking at footage(录像) from 16 different surveillance cameras(监控摄像机), watching the woman’s every move in the cafe until she went to sit on a chair outside and left when her ride arrived. Within minutes, a young man in a black jacket came close and put something in his pocket, and walked off. Gilleece posted the video on the cafe’s Facebook page.

Within hours, Gilleece got a text from 17-year-old River Prather. Prather said he took the wallet because he hadn’t eaten in two days. He also told that he just took the money but threw the wallet with the ring off into the sea. Then he bought himself a sandwich. Gilleece doubted if Prather told the truth, so they met at the sea. Prather was just a teen running away from his family after a big fight with his parents, and he had been staying around for a week. But the woman had started a case against the thief because of the missing ring, and he would probably be put in prison. Gilleece decided to help the boy by finding two local divers to help. The two divers tried hard but both came up with empty hands. Gilleece grew worried, each passing minute means more chances for the police to take the boy away. And finally, a diver popped up with the wallet in hand. Everybody cheered in delight. When Gilleece called the owner, she burst into tears and dropped the case against Prather for stealing.

“Most people would have given the footage to police, and he chose to help me,” Prather said. “I say thank you to him every day.”

“Books will soon be obsolete(废弃的，淘汰的) in schools,” Thomas Edison said in 1913: they would, he believed, soon be replaced by silent films. Each new invention has brought the similar predictions. And each time, the old technologies of books, classrooms and teachers have stayed.

Like teachers, educational technology comes in many forms, from wonderful to terrible. But, used properly, it now is important in schools, especially in pour areas.

The UN’s goals included that by 2015 all the world’s children would finish primary school. The goal has been achieved: nine out of ten children are now at school. However, the figure is not as brilliant as it sounds. Even most of the children go to school, a lot of them learn pretty much nothing there. A recent World Bank study shows, half of nine-year-old children in an African country can not read a simple word and a three-fourths can not read a simple sentence. The reason is terrible teaching. Only 7% of the teachers had the necessary knowledge and half the time the teacher was not in the classroom.

Paying teachers more, in hope of better ones, is not the answer. Many methods are tried and things don’t change much.

Several studies suggest ed-tech can help. It seems to have an effect. But it does not mean putting computers on schools in the hope that children will understand how to use them. If they do so, plenty of money is wasted. Instead, it means offering schools with software that children can use with a little help from an adult. In this way, we can get things right more often and many things can be in control.

Technology can not be everything. Good traditional teachers are not obsolete, but ed-tech can help greatly--both students and teachers in their own way.

1.With the new inventions, books, classrooms and teachers ________

A. become more important B. survive all along

C. are cleared out D. become silent films

2.What was UN’s goal for primary schools?

A. All the kids complete primary school. B. 90% of kid go to school.

C. Half children can read simple words. D. Three-fourths of kids can read sentences.

3.Why did kids learn poorly at school according to the passage?

A. They didn’t work hard enough. B. There were no teachers in the classroom.

C. The teachers didn’t have any knowledge. D. The teachers teach terribly.

4.What does the underline word ed-tech mean?

A. 网络科技 B. 软件技术 C. 教育科技 D. 教学技能

5.What does the author think of ed-tech?

A. The author thinks it is useful. B. The author doubts it is useful.

C. The author thinks teachers will be obsolete. D. The author doesn’t like it at all.

It was around noon when the shark struck. Arthur Medici, a 26-year-old from Brazil, was attacked on Sept. 16 just off Cape Cod’s Newcomb Hollow beach. Although a friend pulled him from the water, he soon died because he was terribly hurt.1.. After just weeks, a 61-year-old was sent to hospital for the same reason a few miles up the beach. The whole area was in fear.

The first accident happened in 1916, when a great white attacked several times and killed four in two weeks. 2.. And the deaths were big news. Since that, the attacks happened two or three times per year for decades. From the 1950, the number rose with the human population growth and more people preferred to be in the water, but even that, you are far less likely to be killed by a shark than by lightning. Thanks to beach safety and hospital service, only five of last year’s attacks caused death in the whole world.

3.. “If sharks were mean to hurt people, we’d see far more accidents.” Instead, great whites are usually looking for seals, which helps explain the situation. The effects of the 1972 Marine Mammal Protection Act(海洋哺乳动物保护法) make the numbers of seals climbing fast. 4..

In fact, sharks have far more to fear from us than we do from them---fishery collects 100 million ton of sharks each year, and climate change and other human activity make a big difference to their habitats, sending their population to drop quickly.5..

A. At that time, people knew little about the beast from the deep sea.

B. It was the first death in Massachusetts since 1936.

C. However that doesn’t make it any less painful when they bite back.

D. As the seals take the adventure to be closer to beaches, so do the sharks.

E. We now know that the attacks were probably not on purpose.
