22、ner thought she could no longer work because she was not able to hear.However, after being handed to the RSPCA, Peggy was taken in by Chloe Shorten, an animal health manager from the organisation.Shorten and her husband, Jason, a shepherd (牧羊人), taught Peggy to understand hand signals and body langu

24、the long process of teaching her how to work with a shepherd without relying on voice orders.”The couple began by training Peggy to look at them to receive hand signals. They used repetitive and positive reinforcement and instead of pairing a voice order with an action, theyd use a hand gesture. Peg
25、gy read their hand signals and body language as a way of telling what theyre asking for.

29、ntegrated into every aspect of their lives. While this can be an advantage in some situations, research has shown that the impact is not entirely positivethe Internet allows them toquickly find information at the cost ofsignificant distractionin class. Without being attentive, students will be incap
30、able of processing information, which means theyre not going to be able to understand, analyse, criticise and come to some decision about the information.When students cant seem to focus, a common idea among teachers is that short is good. Many teachers simply cut lessons into smaller pieces. Some t
31、eachers begin classes with mindfulness exercises when students need to concentrate. However, it turns out that any sort of “tech breaks” could counteract the desires to come back to study.Some teachers also choose to “meet students where they are” on platforms like YouTube. A2018 studyfrom Pearson f
32、ound that students tended to stay away from physical books, preferring video as a source of information second only to teachers. By meeting students where they already engage and create, teachers can better catch attention.However, while some educators are welcoming technology in the classroom, mult
33、iple studies have shown more traditional classrooms can be more successful. A2014 study found taking notes in longhand helped students withhold information better than using a laptop. Researchers also point out switching between short teaching pieces too quickly could take valuable comprehension fro

They agree teachers authority remains vital and the face-to-face interaction between students and teachers is still the primary co
35、mponent in the classroom. Technology will be favoured only when it improves a lesson in ways that are impossible offline.Success is no longer about knowing the most. Instead, its the ability to think critically and creatively, the very skills that digital media weakens by lowering attention spans. I
36、f you think of people who became successful in the tech world, it wasnt because they could code; it was because they could think. Digital natives will continue to eagerly adopt new media.

But in 2008, Cowans Auctions (拍卖) in Cincinnati sold a lemon blackened with age for $2,350. What was so special about this lemon? It was said
41、to be from a tree planted by George Washington. According to a handwritten note attached to the bottle containing the lemon, the fruit was picked by Washingtons “old gardener” some 43 years after the first presidents death.Collecting a piece of history, or an object associated with a famous person,
42、is not fresh. Yet determining potential values of such objects isnt easy. For one thing, their origin, or history of ownership, is both important and sometimes difficult to prove. Photographs of the famous person with the object, as well as letters, diaries referring to the object can help.The uniqu
43、eness of many of historic objects makes it more difficult to put a value on them. To assess the value of a Picasso painting, one can look at recent prices paid for other Picasso paintings of the same period, similar size or style. Finding another recent sale of a lemon planted by George Washington i
44、s a different matter. Katie Horstman, head of Cowan, says she could find no comparables for the lemon as she prepared the auction. However, she finally arrived at an estimated (估计的) value by researching auction records for objects somehow associated with Washington that had appeared on the market. O
45、ften the final selling price of objects touched by history has to do with the moods and passions of the collectors and other potential buyers expected to be present on auction day. But even the experts can make a mistake sometimes. For instance, a 2016 Christies sale in London included a 1935 jacket
46、 worn by Albert Einstein, and a pocket watch the physicist had owned in 1900 when he was 21 and still largely unknown. The jacket sold for 110,500, well above its estimated value of 40,000 to 60,000. The watch, meanwhile, which had an estimated value of 15,000 to 20,000, sold for 266,500. Thomas Ven
47、ning, director of Christie, has his explanation for why the watch sold for so much more than the jacket, and likely for more than the experts would have guessed. There are photographs of Einstein, the father of relativity, wearing the jacket, Mr. Venning says. “But Einsteins jacket didnt change the world. The watch, and the sense of time, is what we know him for, which made it more valuable to collectors.” 41. What do we know about the lemon sold for $2,350?A. It has been kept well by Washingtons gardener.B. It was associated with Washington
