Barefoot Water﹣skiing
by Dan Thomans
Have you ever been barefoot（赤脚的） water﹣skiing？It's just like normal water﹣skiing．being pulled along behind a boat at 40mph﹣but without any skis（滑撬）！It sounds scary but it's amazing!My cousin used to take me water﹣skiing，and that's where I first learnt to stand up and balance．But I moved on to barefoot water﹣skiing when I did it for a laugh with some friends．And I loved it！
Barefoot water﹣skiing is one of the most popular water sports there is﹣to watch，anyway!When someone jumps really high and then lands，it's wonderful．And you didn't need expensive things like boards，although a wetsuit（泳衣）is a good idea．But catching your toes on things in the lake can hurt．I gusset you can't help getting water up your nose when you start learning，too，as you have to lie almost flat in the water before you pull yourself up﹣but it's OK．
Now I'm experienced，I've learnt not to attempt（尝试）new moves in rough water as it never goes well．Inside，I make sure I limit myself to skiing directly behind the boat，where the water's calmer．I ask the boat drivers to warn me about big waves coming，although they can't always see them．
Finding time to practice regularly is hard as I'm still at school﹣but I'm not going to get any prizes．If I want to learn a new move，I need to repeat it over and over，and that's not easy in winter when it's cold．Lots of skiers say they'll continue during cold weather，but not many do． So I'm often the only one out on the lake!
1．What is Dan trying to do in this text about barefoot water﹣skiing？ A．To explain why he's decided to become a champion． B．To describe what he does get better at his sport． C．To suggest the best ways ti begin learning his sport． D．To tell people that his sport is both safe and easy． 2．Dan started barefoot water﹣skiing when ． A．he realized how easy it was to do B．he tried it out just for fun
C．he was taught how to do it by his cousin D．he wan asked by friends to have a try
3．What does Dan think are the disadvantages of barefoot water﹣skiing？
A．If your feel hit something in the water，it's painful． B．Although not much equipment is needed，it isn't cheap． C．If you start in the wrong position，you breathe in water． D．Although you jump higher without skis，it's harder to land．

New Technology Revolutionizes(变革)Learning
More and more people believe that technologies are great for learning.Today,such teaching tools as iPads are used in a lot of courses,including language,history and science.
Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning.They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom.Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos,students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.
The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own pace.Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it,so they can save time for doing other things.Other students,however,might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it.Using iPads is especially helpful to students who are learning a language at different paces.
The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy.They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn(such as listening to stories and watching movies).The class has become much more interesting and creative.
There are other advantages for students.By using iPads,they can pay more attention to the material and learn more.Teaching notes are stored in their iPads and are easy to
find.Some students spend more time studying now.“I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus,instead of having to wait until I get home,”a student explained.
Many adults complain that technologies such as iPads are doing harm to students.They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams.Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other.If a student spends more time watching videos on an iPad,he will have fewer opportunities to have face-to-face communication with others.
However,technologies are already a part of most students day-to-day lives.As for cheating,teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams.Education needs to make changes with the times as technology is playing an important part.We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.
1.What does the expression“at their own pace”in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A.According to their own timetable. B.Without their teachers’ help. C.Because of their wonderful goals. D.Against their parents’ hope.
2.From the passage we can learn that . A.students with iPads have less discussion in class B.students get more fun from learning with iPads C.iPads help students save time waiting for buses D.iPads prevent students from cheating in exams 3.The writer probably agrees that . A.teachers can take control of students’ learning B.exam results depend a lot on new technology C.technology in education has a bright future D.note-taking is as helpful as video-watching
