There were tours of the old school building and a picnic at Confederate Park. Several former teachers were on hand to tell stories about the old days. Ms. Mabel Yat
26、es, the English teacher for fifty years, was wheeled to the Park. Some eyes rolled and there were a few low groans(嘟囔声 )when Ms.Yates was about to speak. Many started looking at their watches and coming up with excuses to be anywhere instead of preparing to listen to a lecture from an old woman who
27、had few kind words for her students and made them work harder than all the other teachers combined. Then Ms. Yates started to speak: “I cant tell you how pleased I am to be here. I havent seen many of you since your graduation, but I have followed your careers and enjoyed your victories as well as c
28、rying for your tragedies. I have a large collection of newspaper photographs of my students. Although I havent appeared in person, I have attended your college graduations, weddings and even the birth your children, in my imagination.” Ms. Yates paused and started crying a bit. Then she continued: “
29、It was my belief that if I pushed you as hard as I could, some of you would succeed to please me and others would succeed to annoy me. Regardless of our motives, I can see that you have all been successful in you chosen path.” “There is no greater comfort for an educator than to see the end result o
30、f his or her years of work. You have all been a great source of pleasure and pride for me and I want you to know I love you all from the bottom of my heart.” There was a silence over the crowd for a few seconds and then someone started clapping. Tee clapping turned into cheering, then into a deafeni

With the coming of new technologies like com
36、puters and smartphone, writing by hand has become something of nostalgic (怀旧的 )skill. However, while todays educators are using more and more technology in their teaching, many believe basic handwriting skills are still necessary for students to be successful-both in school and in life. Virginia Ber
37、ninger, professor of educational psychology at the University of Washington, says its important to continue teaching handwriting and help children acquire the skill of writing by hand. Berninger and her colleagues conducted a study that looked at the ability of students to complete various writing t
38、asks-both on a computer and by hand. The study, published in 2009, found that when writing with a pen and paper, participants wrote longer essays and more complete sentences and had a faster word production rate. In a more recent study, Berninger looked at what role spelling plays in a students writ
39、ing skills and found that how well children spell is tied to know well they can write. “Spelling makes some of the thinking parts of the brain active which helps us access our vocabulary, word meaning and concepts. It is allowing our written language to connect with ideas.” Berninger said. Spelling
40、helps students translate ideas into words in their mind first and then to transcribe(转换 ) “those words in the mind written symbols on paper or keyboard and screen,” the study said. Seeing the words in the “minds eye” helps children not only to turn their ideas into words, says Berninger, but also to
41、 spot(发现 ) spelling mistakes when they write the words down and to correct then over time. “In our computer age, some people believe that we dont have to teach spelling because we have spell checks,” she said. “But until a child has a functional spelling ability of about a fifth grade level, they wo
42、nt have the knowledge to choose the correct spelling among the options given by the computer.” 【小题 1】 What makes writing by hand a thing of the past A The absence of blackboard in classroom. B The use of new technologies in teaching. C The lack of practice in handwriting. D The popular use of smartp
43、hones. 【小题 2】 Berningers study published in 2009 _. A focused on the difference between writing by hand and on a computer. B indicated that students prefer to write with a pen and paper. C found that good essays are made up of long sentences. D discussed the importance of writing speed. 【小题 3】 Which
44、 of the following best shows the role of spelling A Spelling improves ones memory of words. B Spelling ability is closely related to writing ability. C Spelling benefits the translation from words into ideas. D Spelling slows down finding exact words to express ideas. 【小题 4】 What does “minds eye” in
45、 paragraph 5 mean A Window. B Soul C Picture. D Imagination. 【小题 5】 What conclusion could be drawn from the passage A Computers can help people with their choice of words. B Spell checks can take the place of spelling teaching. C Handwriting still has a place in todays classrooms. D Functional spell
46、ing ability develops fast in the fifth grade. 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 2】 A 【小题 3】 B 【小题 4】 D 【小题 5】 C You are given many opportunities in life to choose to be a victim or creator. When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain
47、 and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing(内化 )your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others. Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they dont let this get in the
