Transport
In the future transport will be cleaner, faster and safer. New technology is being used to make sure that
the cars, taxis, buses and trains will not pollute (污染) the air. Scientists (科学家) are also developing
(研制) new fuels that will let us travel without (没有) worrying about if we are polluting the environment.
Education
Homework will always be homework, but the schools of the future will probably be quite different from
what they are today. We can study at home by watching TV or a computer screen. In the future, there
may be more "school on the air" and "e-schools". Real classrooms will always be popular, but distance
education (远程教育) will help people study whenever (无论何时) they have time and wherever (无论
何地) they may be.

Apple has entered the textbook market. The tech giantintroduced(推出) iBooks textbooks many weeks ago. They are digital books in many subjects taking in science, maths,history and geography. Apple says it offers a “new textbook experience” and suggests its interactive (互动的) iBooks textbooks are “the next chapter in learning”. It sounds like good news for pupils and students. Think of it. No more carrying heavy backpacks full of textbooks. Every textbook you need can be stored on your iPad. No more having to buy expensive textbooks which you will only use for a year or two and then sell or give away. Instead of boring old textbooks which are quickly out of date you can have an interactive learning experience. You can play videos, examine geometrical(几何) problems in 3D, listen to music,make notes and mark passages electronically. You can also share stuff(材料)on social networking sites with your friends. Of course there’s a catch. You need to own an iPad and as you know, it is not cheap. You also need to buy digital textbooks, mostly priced each at $14.99 (94.74 yuan) or more. And the rest, will Apple revolutionize(改变) learning? As they say, is history. That remains to be seen. ![]() | |

But how do you store these images (图像), so you can enjoy them later? By using your memory. When something happens, your brain (脑) decides if the information is important. If it is, your brain saves it and puts it in your memory. You have a short-term memory and a long-term memory. You also have a memory for images and for sounds. What scientists agree about is that people remember things in different ways. Some remember things better with the help of pictures. Others remember better when they take in the information by hearing it. But if you can use both when you study, you will have an advantage. So why not try pictures with English words, and at the same time listen to recordings of the same words? Maybe studying English will no longer be such a headache. Scientists say that imagination (想象) and association (联想) help us remember. Imagination means picturing a word in your mind. Association means relating (联系) words to things you know. 1. When something happens or you meet someone, your brain first _____. A. saves it and puts it in your memory B. stores these images for you to enjoy later C. decides if the information is important D. turns the information into flashes 2. We know from this article that scientists agree that _____. A. people have a short-term memory and a long-term memory B. people have images for memory and sound C. people remember things in the same ways D. imagination and association may help people remember 3. The writer suggests that you should look at pictures with English words while _____. A. listening to recordings of the same ones B. reading the same words aloud C. writing the same words quickly D. using your imagination widely | |

![]() When you cut your skin, you bleed(流血). If a person loses a lot of blood, he will become ill and may die. Blood is very important. People have always known that. At one time, some people even drank blood to make them strong! When doctors understand how blood goes around inside the body, they try ways of giving blood to people who need it. They take blood from the healthy people and give it to people who need it. This is called " blood transfusion" (输血). The blood goes from the arm of the healthy person into the arm of the sick person. But there are two problems. First, it does not always work. Sometimes people die when they have blood transfusion. Later, doctors find that we do not all have the same kind of blood. There are four groups-O, A, B and AB. We all have blood of one of these groups. They also find that they can give any kind of blood to people of group AB. But they find that they must give A-group blood to A-group people and B-group blood to B-group people. I have O-group blood and the doctor told me that I could give blood to anyone else safely. There is another problem. To give blood of the right kind, doctors have to find a person of the right blood group. Often they can not find a person in time. If they have a way to keep the blood until someone needs it, they can always have the right kind of blood. At first they find they can keep it in bottles for fifteen to twenty days. They do this by making it very cold. Then they find how to keep it longer. In the end they find a way of keeping blood for a very long time. We call a place where we keep money a "bank". We call a place where we keep blood a "blood bank". One day, when you grow up, you may decide to give blood to a "blood bank". In this way you may stop someone from dying. Or perhaps one day you may become ill. You may need blood. The "blood bank" will give it to you. | |
