　　Anyone who is interested in study will welcome the latest development in classroom technology．School pupils equipped with hand-held keypads(鍵盤)connected wirelessly to electronic whiteboards(白色書寫板)can now answer teachers questions－without their classmates knowing．The electronic“student response system”is aimed at 4-to-11-year-olds

　　Stephen Jury, the company’s chief manager, says the system helps teachers with the continuous assessment of pupils, and encourages shy children to voice opinions and become more active in class．

　　According to the Department of Education and Skills, ICT(information and communications technology)spending for schools has more than doubled since 1998．

　　“If anything, it will probably increase,”says David Todman, Dell’s UK schools manager．“To achieve what the government wants in education, there is nothing it can do but increase expenditure on IT．”

　　The education white paper Higher Standards, Better Schools for All, looks to IT to help the government achieve two aims－lessons tailored to(適應(yīng))different pupils’ needs and connecting parents more closely with choosing and running schools．It notes that more than 80％ of secondary schools now have websites．“Parents and pupils will be able to see exactly what’s on offer, how well the school is doing, and the future direction it plans to take．”Parents can log on(登錄)to the school’s IT system to look at their child’s reports, attendance records and information about homework．

　　Nearly everyone agrees that more needs to be done to make sure that computers are used properly in schools．Stephen Jury says that Britain needs to follow the US in developing the rules of“educational technology”rather than leaving e-learning in the hands of IT departments．

閱讀理解

　　Jeanne Calment took up skating at age 85, made her first movie appearance at age114．a(chǎn)nd held a concert in the neighborhood on her 121 st birthday．

　　When it comes to long life, Jeanne Calment is the world’s recordholder．She lived to the ripe old age of 122．So is 122 the upper limit(限制)to the human life span(壽命)?If scientists come up with some sort of pill or diet that would slow aging, could we possibly make it to 150－or beyond?

　　Researchers don't entirely agree on the answers．“Calment lived．to 122, SO it wouldn't sul33rise me if someone alive today reaches 130 or 135,”says Jerry Shay at the University of Texas．

　　Steve Austad at the University of Texas agrees．“People can live longer than we think．”he says．“Experts used to say that humans couldn’t live past 110．When Calment blew past that age, they raised the number to 1 20．So why can’t we go higher?”

　　The trouble with guessing how old people can live to be is that it’s all just guessing．“Anyone can make up a number．”says Rich Miller at the University, of guessing

　　　Michigan．“Usually the scientist who picks the highest number gets his name in Time magazine．”

　　Won’t new anti－aging techniques keep us alive for centuries?Any cure, says Miller, for aging would probably keep most of HS living until about 120．Researchers are working on treatments that make the life span of mice longer by 50 percent at most．

　　So, if the average(平均)human life span is about 80 years, says Miller,“adding another 50 percent would get you to 120．”

　　So what can we learn from this little disagreement among the researchers?That life span is flexible(有彈性的), but there is a limit, says George Martin of the University of Washington．“We can get flies to live 50 percent longer．”he says．“But a fly'snever going to live 150 years．”O(jiān)f course, if you became a new species(物種), one that ages at a slower speed, that would be a different story, he adds．

　　Does Martin really believe that humans could evolve(進化)their way to longer life?“It’s pretty cool to think about．”He says with a smile．

(1)

What does the story of Jeanne Calment prove to us?

[　　]

A．

People can live to 122．

B．

Old people are creative．

C．

Women are sporty at 85．

D．

Women live longer than men．

(2)

According to Steve Austad at the University of Texas, ________

[　　]

A．

the average human life span could be 110

B．

scientists cannot find ways to slow aging

C．

few people can expect to live to over 150

D．

experts aren’t sure how long one can live

(3)

Who thinks that a scientist will become famous if he makes longevity?

[　　]

A．

Jerry Shay．

B．

Steve Austad．

C．

Rich Miller．

D．

George Martin．

(4)

What can we infer from the last three paragraphs?

[　　]

A．

Most of us could be good at sports even at 120．

B．

The average human life span cannot be doubled．

C．

Scientists believe mice are aging at a slower speed than before．

D．

New techniques could be used to change flies into a new species．

　　Perhaps you have been told about some habits (習(xí)慣) which keep a person from reading fast and have been strongly asked to break those habits which you might have．

　　Do you still have any of these bad habits?Check yourself by answering“yes”or“no”to these questions．

　　(1) Do you move your lips (嘴唇) when reading silently?

　　(2) Do you point to words with your finger as you read?

　　(3)Do you move your head from side to side as you read?
