10．Laptop computers are popular all over the world．People use them on trains and airplanes，in airports and hotels．These laptops connect people to their workplace．In the United States today，laptops also connect students to their classrooms．
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want．Within five years，each of the 1500students at the college will receive a laptop．The laptops are part of a $10million computer program at Westlake，a 110-year-old college．The students will be able to use e-mail to"speak"with their teachers，their classmates，and their families．However，the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs．They can work with it at home，in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology，laptop use in higher education，such as colleges and universities，is workable．As laptops become more powerful，they become more similar to desktop computers．In addition，the portable（便携式的） computers can connect students to not only the Internet，but also libraries and other resources（资源）．State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students．State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities，too．
At Westlake College，more than 60percent of the staff（职员） use computers．The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons．As one Westlake teacher said，"Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window on the world．They can see everything and do everything．"

2．

Are you listening to pop songs but not learning to play a musical instrument？
The idea of practicing the piano or violin every day under your parents'watchful eyes is bad enough，not to mention all the playtime you'll lose．But you would change your mind if you knew that musical training could make you smarter，especially if you start young，according to The New York Times．
In fact，the study of the benefits of music has been going on for years．Back in 1993，Nature magazine reported an experiment showing that college students who listened to 10minutes of Mozart music before taking an IQ test scored better．This is what's now known as the"Mozart effect"．
Although scientists later found that it wasn't IQ that had been improved，temporary（短时的）reasoning ability，this study still got them thinking-if simply listening to music can bring good effects，what would actually playing an instrument do to brain development？
Now researchers at Northwestern University，US，have got the answer．They studied a group of college students-some of them had received musical training in their school years while others had not．Looking at their brain waves，researchers discovered that they acted differently when hearing complex sounds-those who had learned music before were better at picking out single pitches（音高）from a noisy background．And this was true even if the lessons had ended years ago．
This ability to single out certain sounds is connected to language-based learning．For example，reading．"To learn to read，you need to have good working memory，the ability to recognize speech sounds，make sound-to-meaning connections，"professor Nina Kraus from Northern University told the New York Times．"Each one of these things really seems to be strengthened when playing a musical instrument．"
But the researchers also said that there is no one best way to apply these findings．Different instruments，different teaching methods，different schedules-parents need to find what works best for the child，and children should try to enjoy themselves and their lessons．After all，music is about pleasure instead of being a tool．

56．Which of the following statements is true？C
A．Listening to Mozart's music can improve one's IQ．
B．Playing a musical instrument is painful and a waste of time．
C．Musical training at a young age can be a great advantage．
D．Students who can play musical instruments are better at reasoning．
57．According to the article，playing a musical instrument can't strengthenB．
A．a good working memory
B．the ability to make single pitches
C．the ability to recognize different speech sounds
D．the ability to connect different sounds with their meaning
58．We can infer from this article thatD．
A．scientists think there must be pleasure in music
B．parents usually know what is the best for their children
C．scientists will find a best teaching method for musical training
D．children should learn to play musical instruments as early as possible
59．The article is mainly aboutC．
A．the longtime benefits of early music lessons
B．the connection between musical training and reading
C．the effects of musical training on the development of human brain
D．different teaching methods and schedules on playing musical instrument．

20．Most of us have never thought about building an educational toy by ourselves．If we need a learning toy or something，we simply go to the nearest store and buy it．However，things are not as easy in third world countries．With families even having no food to put on the table，buying toys，especially the educational ones，is the last thing on the parents'minds．
So how can one get these kids interested in science？This was a question that worried the Indian engineer Arvind Gupta so much that he decided to give up a good job and spend his life making toys from trash，things that people no longer want or need!
Mr．Gupta began teaching in the 1970s．While still an engineering student at the Indian College of Technology，he volunteered to teach the children who could not afford to go to school．Upon graduation，he found a good job at India's Tata Motors and spent the next five years designing cars．
But he soon realized that this was not something he wanted to do for the rest of his life．So he took a year's training course and took part in the Hoshangabad Science Teaching Program whose aim was to make science fun and exciting for poor children using available materials．
Mr．Gupta found the whole project so satisfying that he decided to leave his high-paying job and focus his attention on designing educational toys that were not only cheap and easy to build，but are also full of scientific principles（科学原理），so that children could get interested in this interesting subject．
When the Internet started becoming a more widespread learning tool，Mr．Gupta created a Toys from Trash website and also recorded over 250YouTube videos．
Today，over 50，000children and teachers visit the website daily to download the videos for the toy creations based on cool science．Some young children have become so inspired （鼓舞）that they have even won international science competitions with the help of his creations．

93．What are these educational toys made from？They are made from things that people don't want or need．
94．Did Arind Gupta start building educational toys as soon as he graduated from the college？No，he didn't．
95．Who did Mr．Gupta build these educational toys for？He built these educational toys for children （and teachers ）in third world countries．
96．How are the educational toys designed by Mr．Gupta？They are cheap and easy to build and full of scientific principles a s well．．
97．What did Mr．Gupta do to introduce his educational toys？He created a website and recorded educational videos so that children and teachers can learn．
98．How can these educational toys help the children in third world countries？They help make science fun and exciting for poor children using available material．．
