Electronic books have changed the way many people read for   15 . Now online textbooks are changing the way some students learn and some teachers teach.
More than   16  students go to the public schools in Fairfax County, Virginia, outside Washington. Last year, the school system used digital books in fifteen schools. This school year, middle schools and high schools changed   17  printed to electronic textbooks in their social studies classes.
“I mean, it’s just   18  a regular textbook, except it’s got it all online.” says Luke Rosa, a history teacher at Falls Church High School.
Peter Noonan, an assistant superintendent(主管) of schools says, “The world’s changing   19 . And the online textbooks can change right along with the events that   20 .”
“Digital books also cost   21  than printed textbooks,” he says, “Usually it’s between fifty and seventy dollars   22  a textbook for each student, which adds up to about eight million dollars for all of our students in Fairfax County. In fact, we have bought all of the online textbooks for our students for just under six million dollars.”
Social studies teacher Michael Bambara says the e-book he uses in his government class is better than a(an)   23  textbook. It has materials for students   24  different levels of reading skills…

Some people like to get up early, but some do not. In fact, it is really good for us to get up early every day. Maybe those who don't like getting up early will not believe this, but it is true. Scientists made a survey in about one thousand people, and then they found that early rising(早起) people had less disease(疾病) than late rising people, and early rising people also look healthier than late rising people, and so on.
So we may know early rising is helpful in more than one way. First, it helps to keep us healthy. We all need fresh(新鮮的) air. But air is never so fresh as early in the morning. Besides, it is useful to do morning exercises.
Secondly, early rising helps us in our studies. In the morning we learn more quickly and find it easier to understand what we learn.
Thirdly, early rising can give us a plan of our work for the day. We cannot work well without a good plan.
Fourthly; early rising gives us enough time to get ready for our work, such as to wash our hands and faces and eat our breakfast.
Late risers may find it difficult to form the habit(養(yǎng)成習(xí)慣) of early rising. They have to make an effort(努力) to do so. As the English proverb says, "Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy(富裕的) and wise. "
小題1:Early rising people are          than late rising people.
A．fatterB．thinnerC．healthierD．Cleverer
小題2:Air is the freshest         according to the passage.
A．in the morningB．in the afternoon
C．in the eveningD．a(chǎn)ll the day
小題3:Which of the following is the result of early rising?
A．People can get ready for their work.
B．People can get fresh air.
C．People can learn things more quickly and better.
D．All of the above.
小題4:If a man always likes to get up late, it's          for him to form the habit of getting up early.
A．easyB．difficultC．happyD．sad
小題5:As the English proverb says,            can make us healthy, wealthy and wise.
A．getting up earlyB．going to bed early
C．getting up lateD．both A and B

Children can spend hours a day looking at computer screens and other digital devices. Some eye doctors say this leads to an increase in “computer vision syndrome(電腦視力綜合癥).”
Nathan Bonilla-Warford is an optometrist（驗(yàn)光師）in Tampa, Florida. He has seen an increase in problems in children. “A lot more children come into the office either because their parents have noticed that they have headaches or red or watery eyes or discomfort, or because their nearsightedness appears to be increasing and they’re worried,” he says.
Dr. Bonilla-Warford says part of the problem is that children may be more likely to pay no attention to early warning signs than adults. “Even if their eyes start to feel uncomfortable or they start to get a headache, they’re less likely to tell their parents, because they don’t want to have the game or the computer or whatever taken away,” he explains.
He says another part of the problem is that people blink（眨眼）less often when they use digital devices. He says, “A person who uses an electronic device blinks about one third as much as we normally do in everyday life. And so that can result in the front part of the eye drying and not staying protected like normal.”
Eye doctors offer suggestions like following which is known as the 20/20/20 rule. That means every twenty minutes look away twenty feet or more for at least twenty seconds from whatever device you’re using.
Other suggestions include putting more distance between you and the device and using good lighting. Of course, another way is to spend less time looking at screens. Many experts say children should spend no more than two hours a day using digital devices—with no screen time for children under two.
But not all eye doctors have noticed an increase in problems in children. Dr. David Hunter, from Children’s Hospital Boston, has not seen an increase in his practice. “While it is possible to develop fatigue looking at screens for a long period of time, there’s certainly no proof that it actually causes any damage（傷害）to the eyes.” he says.
小題1:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Dr. Bonilla-Warford thinks using computers causes nearsightedness.
B．People keep their eyes protected against drying by blinking normally.
C．Children under two can watch TV for less than two hours a day.
D．Dr. David Hunter says headache causes an increase in eye problems.
小題2:What does the underlined word “fatigue” mean?
A．InterestB．AbilityC．Tiredness.D．Difficulty.
小題3:What can be the best title for the passage?
A．Looking at Screen: Two Hours or More
B．How Can Children Use Their Eyes Properly
C．Using Digital Devices: Advantages and Disadvantages
D．How Much Screen Time Is Too Much for Children

It is common to believe that learning just takes place in school, but much of human learning happens outside the classroom, even from birth and people continue to learn throughout their lives.
Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to use toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their environments. They learn how to communicate with their parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world. When they enter school, children learn subjects like reading, writing, and maths. They also continue to learn a lot outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished. They learn social skills for communicating with other children. After they finish school, people must learn to deal with many changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job.
Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children. Scientists, social workers and other human service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people’s behaviors.
Learning is closely related (相關(guān)的) to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain (大腦). Scientists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later offers knowledge when we need it. However, scientists who study learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences. ?
小題1:The underlined word “siblings” in Paragraph 2 probably means _________.
A．teachersB．classmatesC．doctorsD．brothers or sisters
小題2: When do children begin to know to behave well according to the passage?
A．After they go into society.B．Before they enter school.
C．When they are at school.D．Before they are born.
小題3:Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?
A．As a matter of fact, learning begins at a person’s birth and last the whole life.
B．Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate their students.
C．People need to understand how certain experiences change their behaviors.
D．Social workers need to study how experiences affect people’s thoughts.

All they have to do is to put the right chip into the e-schoolbag and press the button.

Hands play an important part in our daily life. But do you know which of your two hands you use more? Very few people use both hands equally well.  Most of us are right-handed.  Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed.  New-born babies can take hold of things with either of their hands, but in about two years they usually use their right hands.  Scientists don’t know why this happens.
Monkeys are our close relatives in the animal world. Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than the other, but it can be either hand.  There are as many right-handed monkeys as left-handed ones.  Next time you visit a zoo, watch the monkeys carefully, you will see that some of them will use their right hands and others will use their left hands.  But most of the people use their right hands better and this makes life difficult for those left-handed people.  We live in a right-handed world.
