Another place where unplanned short sleep goes on is in the lecture hall in the campus where a student will start snoring（打鼾）so 5 that the professor has to ask another student to 6 the sleeper awake. Obviously a more embarrassing situation occurs when a student starts falling into sleep in class and the 7 of the head pushes the arm off the 8 , and most probably, the movement carries the 9 of the body along.

Roslyn Hing School on Long Island recently started a pilot program using iPads in some classrooms.
A growing number of schools across the U.S. are multimedia, history through games and math with step-by-step animation(动画）of complex problems.
As part of a pilot program, Roslyn High School handed out 47 iPads on Dec. 20, 2010 to the students and teachers in two humanities(人文学科）classes. The school district hopes to provide iPads eventually to all 1,100 of its students.
The iPads are to be used in class and at home during the school year to replace textbooks, allow students to correspond with teachers and turn in papers and homework tasks, and preserve a record of student work in digital files.
“It allows us to extend the classes beyond these four walls,” said Larry Reiff, an English teacher at Roslyn who now posts all his course materials online. But educators are still divided over whether practices to give every student a laptop have made a difference academically.
“There is very little evidence that kids learn more, faster or better by using these machines,” said Larry Cuban, a retired professor of education at Stanford University. “IPads are excellent tools to attract kids, but then the freshness wears off and you get into hard-core problems of teaching and learning.”
But school leaders say the iPad is not just a cool new toy but rather a powerful and multifunctional tool with a number of applications, including thousands of educational uses.
“If there isn't an application that does something I need, there will be sooner or later,” said Mr.Reiff, who said he now used an application that includes all of Shakespeare's plays.
31. The program of using iPads in class is .

I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see ---- the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York, I was really lost ---- having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times".
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles eventually go away! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up , and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.

The word advertising refers to any kind of public announcement that brings products and services to the attention of people.

The London Gazette was the first newspaper to set aside a place just for advertising. This was so successful that by the end of the century several companies started business for the purpose of making newspaper ads for merchants.

Everything, from clothes to drinks, was promoted with clever methods such as repetition of the firm’s name or product, words organized in eye-catching patterns, the use of pretty pictures and expressions easy to remember.
Near the end of the nineteenth century, companies that were devoted to the production of ads came to be known as “advertising agencies (广告商).” The agencies developed new ways to get people to think of themselves as members of a group. Throughout the twentieth century advertising agencies promoted consumerism (消费主义) as way of life, spreading the belief that people could be happy only if they bought the“right”products.

Good afternoon, everyone!
The topic of my speech today is “Do trust us—a generation born in the 90s”.
Living in an environment full of fierce competition, we, a generation born in the 90s, are faced with more problems in entering higher schools and getting employed. Under these circumstances, we are developing our special manners and values, which has raised people’s concern.
They worry we care too much about ourselves and are unwilling to cooperate with others, which makes it hard for us to achieve success in whatever we do. Besides, they consider us as lacking in perseverance, and this is what it takes to do any job well. Without it, we may easily give up in time of difficulty. They are also concerned that we are so eager to win instant fame that we follow fashion blindly, which will in turn ruin our values and future.
However, we, a generation born in the 90s, have our own advantages despite some weaknesses. Firstly, we have the courage to meet challenges and take risks, which helps realize our dreams. In addition, we are quick-minded and creative. We can do our work more efficiently. Of course, we still need to learn more from those experienced. Please do trust us!
Thank you for your listening!
