A city without cars would be very strange,right?But Venice(威尼斯)is such a city.
Venice is in the northeast of Italy.It wasn’t built on land,like Beijing or Shanghai,but on more than 110 islands.Seawater is everywhere around the city.
Even so,travel isn’t that difficult.The waterways have always been the best way to get around.There are 117 waterways and more than 400 bridges that can lead you where you want to go.

25、 Chicago is a great town. I love it. We have two baseball teams here, the Cubs and the White Sox. I like the Cubs. The White Sox are boring and they’re losers(失败者), too. I never go to their games. But there’s a lot more to Chicago than baseball. Look around, we’re in the city now. This is Michigan Avenue. There’s the John Hancock Centre.

Thousands of people in each one . Imagine that, all those people in two buildings. It’s terrible to have so many neighbours. There’s the Merchandise Mart. That’s another big building. Do you know what’s in the building? There are stores, restaurants, a bank, a post office, a radio station and a TV station. It’s too crowded, well, here we are.

It tells the tale of the small and isolated town of Macondo which was separated from the outside world –of its founding and its troubled history over a hundred years . The story is a metaphor(暗喻) for the development of Colombia since the 19century. As Colombian President Juan Manuel Santons said, Garcia Márquez wrote about “the very essence(本质) of the Latin American beings ” .

27、 Long, long ago, people made fires from lightening (闪电). But they had to keep the fire burning, for they couldn't start it again if there was no lightening. Later, they found out hitting two pieces of stone together could make a spark (火花). The spark could fire dry leaves. In this way they could make fire again if it went out. Then people also learned to make a fire by rubbing (摩擦). They made a hole in a piece of wood and put a smaller stick into the hole. They turned the stick again and again. After a few minutes they got a fire.
Years went by, people learned other ways to make a fire. Sometimes they used the heat from the sun. They held a piece of glass in the right way and made a piece of paper on fire.
About two centuries ago, people began to make matches. Matches brought people a quick and easy way to make fire. Today matches are still being used, but people have more new ways to make fire. One of them is to use an electric fire starter. Of course an electric fire starter is much more expensive than a box of matches. But it is very useful.

28、 More and more people believe that technologies are great for learning. Today, teaching tools like iPads are used in a lot of courses, i 【1】 language, history and science.
Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom. Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos. students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.
The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own pace. Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it. so they can save time for doing other things. Other students. however. might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it. Using iPads is especially h 【2】 to the students who are learning a language at different paces.
The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn(like listening to stories and watching movies). The class has become much more interesting and creative.
There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching notes are s 【3】 in their iPads and are easy to find. Some students spend more time studying now. 'I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait till I get home.' a student explained.
But many adults c 【4】 that technologies like iPads are doing harm to students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more time watching videos on an iPad. he will have f 【5】 chances to have face-to-face communication with others.
However, technologies are a 【6】 _ a part of most students' day-to-day lives. As for cheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make c 87 with the times as technology is playing an important part. We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.
