33、ove of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices and truly communicate with others.On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas.
34、 Because I want students to thoroughly study the materials and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule no laptop, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.Most students assume that my reasons for this rule i
35、nclude unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. Theres a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. Theres no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it, so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students
36、to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within
37、 themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course materials and the class discussion.Ive been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect student satisfaction with the environment th
38、at I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course materials beyond the classroom.Im not saying that I wont ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change,
39、Im sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.43. Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with_.

41、f technology in the classroom may _. A. improve teaching and offer more help B. prohibit students being involved in class C. allow students to get on well with each other D. help students to better understand complex themes 46. What can we infer from the passage? A. The author will carry on the succ
42、ess in the future. B. Some students will be punished according to the rule. C. More and more students will be absent in history class. D. The author will help students concentrate on what they learn.DThere is plenty of complaints about how social media-texting in particularmay be harming childrens s
43、ocial and intellectual development. But a new study suggests that constant instant messaging (IMing) and texting among teens may also provide benefits, particularly for those who are introverted (内向的).British researchers studied instant messages exchanged by 231 teens, aged 14 to 18. All of the part
44、icipants were “regular” or “extensive” IMers. In the U. S., two thirds of teens use instant messaging services regularly, with a full third messaging at least once every day.The researchers analyzed 150 conversations in the study, and reported the results in the journal Computers in Human Behavior.
45、In 100 of these chats, the study participant began IMing while in a negative emotional state such as sadness, distress or anger. The rest were conversations begun when the participant was feeling good or neutral. After the chat, participants reported about a 20% reduction in their distressnot enough
