16.Welcome to the 21st century classroom:a world where students watch lectures at home---and do homework at school.It's called classroom flipping (翻转教室),and it's slowly catching on in schools around the country.
When Jessica Miller sits down to do her chemistry homework,she pulls out her notebook.Then she turns on an iPad to watch a video podcast.Whenever the instructor changes the slide,Miller pauses the video and writes down everything on the screen.
Miller can replay parts of the chemistry podcast she doesn't understand,and fast forward through those that make sense.Then she takes her notes to class where her teacher can review them.
Back in the classroom,chemistry teacher Jennifer Goodnight walks up and down the rows of desks giving verbal quizzes,guiding students through labs and answering questions.
Goodnight is one of about five teachers flipping their classroom at this small school."The effort is a paying off with better test scores",she says.
"If they're going to have their iPads all the time,might as well put a lecture on it.So on their way home from school,on the bus or wherever they can maybe watch your lecture for homework that night.It's truly about meeting them where they are at,and realizing that the 21st century is different.The whole concept of just sitting and listening to a lecture is really getting outdated,and students are just not buying into that anymore."
Jerry Overmyer,creator of the Flipped Learning Network for teachers,agrees.And while the video component of the program seems to get the most attention,he says what really matters is how teachers use classroom time.
"It's about that personalized face-to-face time.Now that you're not spending all of class time doing lectures,you're working one on one with students,"Overmyer says."How are you going to use that time?"
Back in Colorado,parent Denise Patschke once questioned classroom flipping videos when her son first came home from school with one.But as time went on,she began to watch them.
"I can listen to the video as well when they need help,and then I can try to help him understand what the teacher is saying,"Patschke says.

67.Which word can describe Jessica's flipping videos?A.
A.Practical.B.Magical.C.Funny.D.Humorous.
68.According to Goodnight,students now thinkC.
A.it is possible to do homework on the bus
B.it is difficult to put a lecture on their iPads
C.it is out to sit and learn a lecture
D.it is expensive to buy flipped videos
69.According to Overmyer,the most important for teachers isC.
A.how to record a perfect class video
B.how to give lectures over the classroom time
C.how to make the most of classroom time
D.how to attract the attention of students
70.What might be the most suitable title for the passage?C.
A.A new teaching tool helps students learn.
B.The Internet improves teaching in class.
C.More teachers flip their classroom now.
D.Flipping videos are popular with students.

Quite often,educators tell families of children who are learning English as a second language to speak only English,and not their native language,at home.Although these educators may have good(41)F,their advice to families is misguided,and it arises from misunderstandings about the process of language (42)G.Educators may fear that children hearing two languages will become (43)I confused and thus their language development will be (44)B.Children are capable of learning more than one language,whether simultaneously (同时地) or sequentially (依次地).In fact,most children outside of the United States are expected to become bilingual or even,in many cases,multilingual.Globally,knowing more than one language is viewed as an asset (资产) and even a (45)K in many areas.
It is also of concern that the misguided advice that students should speak only English is given (46)A to poor families with limited educational opportunities,not to wealthier families who have many educational advantages.Since children from poor families often are (47)E as at-risk for academic failure,teachers believe that advising families to speak English only is appropriate.Teachers consider learning two languages to be too (48)H for children from poor families,believing that the children are already burdened by their home situations.
If families do not know English or have limited English skills themselves,how can they communicate in English?Advising non-English-speaking families to speak only English is(49)D to telling them not to communicate with or (50)C with their children.Moreover,the underlying message is that the family's native language is not important or valued.
10.The security industry exists to provide and ensure safety of the population.Teams of developers are constantly working on new devices to better protect not only the people but also their properties.Regular existing technologies such as GPS trackers are also being improved and used in innovative ways to prevent various criminal activities.
Named after Natalia Estemirova,a human rights activist who was kidnapped from her home and murdered within 24 hours,the Natalia Project is a bracelet (手镯)handed out by the Civil Rights Defenders in hopes of preventing similar tragedies in the future.After all,a majority of human rights activists are situated in constant danger as they fight for freedom and equality.The chunky bracelet was able to produce satisfactory results.Once triggered(触发),the bracelets will issue a real-time GPS location of the victim to the Civil Rights Defenders'headquarters.Nearby contacts will also be alerted so immediate action can be taken to rescue the victim.What's most unique about this bracelet is that it will also send an alert to social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook to notify the public of the attack being placed on the victim.
These bracelets will first be distributed to a small group as funding is still a problem.The first five bracelets were distributed by the human rights organization on Defender's Day in Stockholm,Sweden,on Apr.5,2013."We would like all human rights defenders at risk to have this alarm,but it costs a lot both for the alarm itself and to build an organization to respond to the alarms and to train the wearers of the alarm.Building a security program around each individual,matched to the specific needs of that person is a complex process.Needless to say,it takes a lot of time and effort to get an alarm up and running to ensure maximum protection for 365 days a year."
Though the Civil Rights Defenders is an independent non-governmental expert organization,they do receive the support for their hard work through the Swedish Development Cooperation Agency.The potential for this bracelet to prevent kidnapping of regular children and citizens,if made available to the public,will also be endless.

17.It is well-known that twins are closer to each other than most brothers and sisters----after all,they probably spend more time with each other.Parents of twins often notice that they develop special ways of communicating:they invent their own words and one can often finish the other's sentence.In exceptional circumstances,this closeness becomes more extreme:they invent a whole language of their own,as in the case of Grace and Virginia Kennedy from Georgia in the USA,who communicated so successfully in their own special language that they did not speak any English at all until after they started school.
However,these special relationships are the result of lives spent almost entirely in each other's company.What happens when twins do not grow up together,when they are separated at birth for some reason?Are they just like any other strangers,or are there still special similarities between them?Professor Tom Bouchard,of the University of Minnesota,set out to find the answer to this question.He traced sixteen pairs of twins,who were adopted by different families when they were babies,and often brought up in very different circumstances.Each twin was then interviewed about every small detail of their life.
The results of this research make a surprising reading.Many of the twins were found to have the same hobbies,many have suffered the same illnesses,and some have even had the same type of accident at the same point in their lives.One pair of middle-aged women arrived for their first meeting in similar dresses,another pair were wearing similar jewellery.The most incredible similarities are to be found in the case of Jim Springer and Jim Lewis from Ohio in the USA.The story of the'Jim Twins'made headline news across USA.Born to an immigrant woman in 1939,and adopted by different families at birth,both babies were named Jim by their new parents.
But what can be the explanation for these remarkable similarities?Is it all pure coincidence,or is the explanation in some way genetic?Research into the lives of twins is forcing some experts to admit that our personalities may be at least partly due to'nature'.On the other hand,analysts are also anxious to emphasise that incredible coincidences do happen all the time,not just in the lives of twins.
