My rule for staying young is simple: keep all your attention on the part of you that’s young and growing your brain. Keep your mind awake and you will stay young all over. These are exciting times. Take an interest at least one new thing every day.

Careless of your age, it’s not late to make your life more interesting. I know a housewife who had no knowledge of design, who has now made herself into an excellent industrial designer. I know a retired electrical engineer who has become a highly paid ceramic (陶器的) artist.

Get over the idea that you are ever too old to go back to school. I know a man who entered Medical College at 70. He got his degree with honors and became an admired doctor. Another man went to school at 71 and is now an active lawyer.

In spite of years, staying young is easy for those who live in the future. You can do it if you care enough to try. Keep your mind awake and active. That’s the only youth elixir (灵丹妙药) guaranteed to work.

1. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

A. Rule for staying young　　 B. Never too old to learn

C. Reasons for staying young　 D. Take an interest in the world

2. What does the underlined sentence (in Paragraph 3) mean?

A. Age is always the problem of learning.

B. You’re never young to go back to school

C. It is incorrect that you are never too old to go back to school.

D. It is true that you are ever too old to go back to school.

3. All of the following statements are true EXCEPT that _________.

A. human brain doesn’t get old with age in a way

B. every person should take up a new job when he becomes old

C. staying young is not too difficult if one is willing to try

D. there is always something to learn if you have an interest in what’s going on around you

4. That our brain remains young and growing careless of age is _______.

A. an imagination　 B. a funny idea　 C. an impossibility　 D. a fact

Students and Technology in the Classroom

    I love my Blackberry—it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me．I also love my laptop computer，as it holds all of my writing and thoughts．Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices（设备） and truly communicate with others．

    On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers．My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas．Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule —no laptops, iPads, phones, etc．When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy．

    Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology．There’s a bit of truth to that．Some students assume that I am anti-technology．There’s no truth in that at all．I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students．

    The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and truly engage complex ideas．Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas．I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas．I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course material and the class discussion．

    I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create．Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom．

    I’m not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I’m sticking to my plan．A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up．

1.Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with______．

    A．the course material                  B．others’ misuse of technology

    C．discussion topics                    D．the author’s class regulations

2.The underlined word “engage” in Para．4 probably means ______．

    A．explore         B．accept           C．change           D．reject

3.According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may ____．

    A．keep students from doing independent thinking

    B．encourage students to have in-depth conversations

    C．help students to better understand complex themes

    D．affect students’ concentration on course evaluation

4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the author ______．

    A．is quite stubborn

    B．will give up teaching history

    C．will change his teaching plan soon

    D．values technology-free dialogues in his class
