iPads vs Textbooks

What if you could have your whole backpack at the touch of your fingertips? In the first month of the Apple iPads release, 25million were sold! People all over the world use iPads for all sorts of different things, but one of their finest qualities is the ability to be a textbook. 1.

To begin with, iPads are less expensive. Textbooks become outdated and schools have to buy new books, but with an iPad schools can update them for free. 2. Schools don¡¯t have to spend $500 every year for iPads because they last a while and can be updated.

3. Students usually have multiple classes, which results in multiple textbooks. Heavy backpacks filled with books can cause back problem. A solution to that is an iPad, which only weighs 1.33 pounds and can hold all of a student¡¯s textbooks.

Third, schools should get rid of their textbooks and get iPads because they have more capabilities. Some might think all of the apps are distracting, but the apps actually make iPads more efficient. 4. Textbooks cannot do those tasks, but iPads can easily do them with just a tap of the fingertip.

Lastly, iPads are a better choice for schools instead of textbooks because these devices allow students to access their learning anywhere at any time. 5. With iPads, they find it easier to get their homework done.

In conclusion, schools should get rid of their clumsy textbooks and switch to iPads. iPads have allowed this generation to have their entire backpack in the palm of their hands.

A. Second, iPads cost less and are more popular.

B. These tablets are perfect for busy students.

C. Therefore, they can use the saved money for other programs.

D. Moreover, in high school, textbooks have an average of 4.8 pounds each.

E. iPads have already replaced textbooks in over 600 American counties.

F. Schools have every reason to do away with their school books and switch to iPads.

G. iPads absorb the need to buy calculators, dictionaries, and other items that are found within the device.

Organizing Your Time

You can set a budget(Ô¤Ëã) for your time just as you can set a budget for your money. Since you¡¯re trying to reduce worry rather than increase it£¬go into this process with a focus on maximizing(ʹ¡­×î´ó»¯)your personal time£¬rather than cramming(ÈûÂú) as much as you can into each day.

¡ñ  Set a sleep schedule(ʱ¼ä±í).1.Give yourself a one-hour target(Ä¿±ê) window for bedtime in the evening£¬and set a strict time to get up in the morning£®Be sure that the space between your bedtime and the start of your day gives you roughly an hour more than the amount of sleep you actually need£®2.

¡ñTake care of tasks at the same time every day. Plan time for daily health care£¬ commuting(³Ë¹«½»ÏÂÉÏ°à), work, shopping, eating, and chores(¼ÒÎñ). Add in time for anything else you do most days, such as homework, exercise, or an active hobby.3.All the time left over is your free time, to use for relaxation or whatever else you want£®

¡ñ 4.For example£¬you might plan to go, dropping on your way home from work, to save the extra trip.

For many people, an irregular work schedule make this kind of budgeting difficult£®5.

A. However, you can still plan to work around your schedule in the same order every day£®

B. Stick to it£¬even on weekends.

C. Try to combine trips outside the home to maximize£¨×î´ó»¯£©your free time.

D. Different days call for different approaches£®

E. Therefore, you won¡¯t lay down and start worrying about whether or not you¡¯ll fall asleep on time£®

F. Sit comfortably and focus on your breathing until the rest of your thoughts become quiet.

G. Put them in a specific order that works for you.

Half off usually unaffordable products?Only $49.99 for that $100.00 dinner?That¡¯s the magic of Groupon,but for some small business owners the ¡°great business¡± offered by Groupon can be equal to the kiss of death.How could that occur?

The math of Groupon seems simple at a glance,but upon further inspection the numbers don¡¯t add up when it comes to smaller businesses.A Groupon typically offers a 50% discount on a product or service;then the remaining profit is divided between Groupon and the small business.While Groupon has already received the profit in advance,the merchant is left waiting for their cut.Those worrying numbers are assuming the price cut is 50/50,which,in some cases,is being generous.

When you break it down to numbers,a Groupon deal seems disastrous,but it¡¯s not only the numbers small business owners have to worry about.The point of Groupon deals is to attract new and hopefully long term customers.Yet,does this actually happen?The majority of consumers buying the Groupon are there for the bargain and don¡¯t return after using their Groupon.CFHS Junior Angelita Pope stated,¡°I love the deals offered by Groupon!They can really save you so much money.¡±However,she went on to say that she hadn¡¯t returned once to any of the businesses after using her Groupon.

For some small businesses,the pressure lies with the responses of their loyal customers,who watch as new faces get the same product or service for half the price that they have been paying for years.When you break it down,Groupon indicates that the business offering the deal is not only willing to be flexible with their price,but also that their product or service isn¡¯t worth the price they¡¯re charging for.When combining these factors,it¡¯s no wonder loyal customers are put off by the idea of their favorite shop offering Groupons.

Now I by no means say Groupons have bad effects on all businesses;however the storm of Groupon is actually a disaster for a small business.

1.What is good about Groupon?

A. It can offer a large discount.

B. It helps add up the numbers.

C. It can improve the quality of the product.

2.CFHS Junior Angelita Pope¡¯s statement suggests that ¡¡¡¡¡¡.

C. the purpose of Groupon is to promote business

D. Groupon may not bring customers back

3.What does the underlined word ¡°they¡± in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. New faces. B. Loyal customers.

C. Groupon dealers. D. Small businesses.

4.What could be the best title for the text?

B. The development of a Groupon company

Learning a second language fuels children¡¯s intelligence and makes their job prospects brighter. _______ the fact is, in U.S.A, as in many other English speaking countries, speakers of two or more languages are in the ______. Eighty-four per cent of US people are monolingual (speakers of only one language). This leaves a small number who ______ to speak two or more languages.

No matter how proud people are of their cultural roots, to speak anything ______ English is a marker of difference here. That¡¯s why fourteen-year-old Umar is ______ when people comment on the fact that he is able to speak Arabic. Umar¡¯s mother points out: ¡°In U.S.A, it¡¯s not ______ for kids to be bilingual. But, if you speak another language to your children in U.S.A, it is thought that you are not helping them to ______ society.¡±

But in fact, the general ______ among experts is that learning a second language is good for children. Experts believe that bilinguals ¨C people who speak ______ languages ¨C have a clear learning advantage ____ their monolingual schoolmates. This ______ on how much of each language they can speak, not on which language is used, ______ they are learning Arabic, French, Chinese or any other language.

Vinss Millon, a professor of Foreign Language Training, says: ¡°A lot of studies have ______ that children who speak more than one language sometimes learn one language more ______, but in the end they do as well as their monolingual schoolmates, and often better, in other subjects.¡±

The view is that there is a(n) ______ from the effort of learning another language. A few other _______ agree that ¡°Bilinguals tend to use language better as a whole. They also ______ greater creativity and problem-solving ability, and they learn further languages more easily¡±.

With all of the benefits, why do we not show more ______ for learning other languages? Parents and teachers ______ in bilingual education say it is pressure from friends at school, general ______ to other languages in English-speaking countries, and problems in the school system that are to blame.
