Its teaching children the ignored art of writing with a fountain pen. There is no clicking of keyboards in most classrooms at the Mary Erskine and Stewarts Melville Junior School, although there is a full range of facilities(设施) for computer lessons and technology isnt being ignored. The schools headmaster believes the old-fashioned pens have helped strengthen the academic performance and self-respect of his 1,200 pupils.“The pens improve the quality of work because they force the children to take care, and better work improves self-respect”, headmaster Bryan Lewis said. “Proper handwriting is as relevant today as it ever has been.” Students as young as 7 have been instructed to give up their ballpoint pens and begin to deal with its more artful predecessor. By the time they reach grade five, at age 9, they are expected to write mainly with fountain pens. Lewis said the schools 7- and 8-year-olds use fountain pens for 80-90 percent of their work, returning to pencils for such subjects as math. “I dont see fountain pens as old-fashioned or out of date. Modern fountain pens are beautiful to use. Its not like in the old days of broken metal points and dirtying writing paper,” Lewis said. “We have a particular writing style and we have developed it very carefully and found a way that allows left-and right- handed people to write without dirtying paper.”Some people argue that handwriting is becoming less important because of the growing use of cell phone text messaging and typing on computers, but the school disagrees. “We talk of the paperless office and the paperless world, but this is not true,” Lewis said. “You still need to have proper handwriting skills.” 56. The Scottish school in the passage _.A. does not think highly of modern technologyB. values fountain pens more than anything elseC. pays special attention to the use of fountain pensD. takes an action which is considered stupid by many people57. The underlined word “predecessor” in Paragraph 2 refers to _.A. the pencil B. the keyboardC. the ballpoint penD. the fountain pen 58. The headmaster Bryan Lewis holds the view that _.A. children should be required to use fountain pens when they are fiveB. handwriting skills are more important than typing skills nowadaysC. using fountain pens may slow down students speed of writingD. fountain pens have helped to build up students self-respect 59. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Handwriting Not Useless Now B. Old-fashioned Pen Coming BackC. Stay Away from Tech and Teach Fountain Pen D. Fountain Pen Strengthens Academic PerformanceBTired? Bored? Hungry? And more miles left to go?Help pass the time on your trip: play a game!Everyone knows that a long bus ride can make even the most exciting field trip seem boring. When the bus is traveling a long distance to reach the cool field trip destination, it can seem like forever. What about when you are in the backseat waiting to reach Grandmas house? The road stretches like a rubber band for miles and miles. Heres a way to beat the road at its own game. Use what you have around you to play games with your family and friends. You can have fun while you travel!Materials = Nothing but time & imaginationMake Them LOOK!License Plate Games1) ABC Version:Try to find license plates that begin with each letter of the alphabet. You must work in order of the alphabet. You can work together or competitively. Set a time limit for best results.2) State Version:Try to find a license plate from every state. Work as a team. Use paper to keep track of which ones you have seen if you can, because 50 states can be hard to keep track of! * Note: Feel free to add or change rules. For example, Alaska and Hawaii plates are not necessary because those states might be too far away. You want the game to be fun, not annoying! Make Them LAUGH!Straight Face:One person is “it.” They have to answer any question with a silly phrase. You decide what this phrase is before beginning. A common first phrase is “The cats tail.” Then you each ask this person a question, like “What do you eat your soup with?” The person must answer, without smiling or laughing, “The cats tail.” The next person asks another question, like “What is the most important thing to take to school tomorrow?” Each person must ask a question until the person who is “it” breaks down and laughs or smiles. Then you pick another phrase. Some suggested phrases:my horses hatthe birds bootsthe donkeys teethsour lemons 60.

Businessmen traveling often.C. Drivers going to other states.D. People learning to be humorous.CSince the Second World War, there has been an obvious trend, especially among the growing group of college students, toward early marriage. Many youths begin dating in the first stage of adolescence, “go steady” through high school, and marry before their formal education has been completed. In some quarters, there is much shaking of graying heads over the unacceptable ways of youth. However, emotional(情感的) maturity does not grow with age; it does not arrive automatically at twenty-one or twenty-five. Some achieve it surprisingly early, while others never do, even in three-score years and ten.Many students are marrying as an escape, not only from an unsatisfying home life, but also from their own personal problems of loneliness. However, any marriage entered into as an escape cannot prove entirely successful. The sad fact is that marriage seldom solves ones problems; more often, it merely worsens them. Whats more, it is doubtful whether the home is able to carry all that the young are seeking; they might abandon one idol(幻像) only to have another. Young people correctly understand that their parents are wrong in believing that success is the most important in life, but they themselves are wrong in believing that they have found the true center of lifes meaning. Their expectations of marriage are basically unrealistic and therefore can not be met. They want too much, and tragic disillusionment(幻想破灭) is often likely to follow.Shall we, then, join the chorus of those against early marriages? One cannot generalize: all early marriages are bad and all later ones are good. Satisfactory marriages are determined not by how old one is, but by the emotional maturity of the partners. Therefore, each case must be judged on its own benefits. If the early marriage is not an escape, if it is entered into with relatively few false expectations, and if it is economically workable, why not? Good marriages can be made from sixteen to sixty, and so can bad ones. 63. The phrase “shaking of graying heads” refers to _.A. the anger of parentsB. the disapproval of elderly peopleC. the improper behaviors of the youngD. the emotional expectations of young lovers64. The author thinks the idea of marriage as an escape is _.A. acceptable B. controversial C. immature D. unreasonable65. The author argues that _.A. young people can benefit little from early marriagesB. elderly people are wrong about early marriagesC. early marriages are not always unsuccessfulD. early marriages should not be encouraged66. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Young peoples failure in marriage results from disillusionment.B. Young people shouldnt have many expectations for marriage.C. Successful marriages depend on emotional maturity.D. Home is the place where you get rid of loneliness.DNew security camera can “see” through clothesNew technology that can “see” through clothing and detect whats underneath can now be used to scan crowds, making it a potentially effective tool to prevent terrorist attacks in public places.The ThruVision T5000 camera picks up Terahertz rays, or T-rays, which are naturally sent out by all objects and can pass through clothes or even walls. The camera can then detect metallic and nonmetallic objects hidden under clothing on still or moving subjects without showing any body detail.While similar technology is seen at airports around the world, the T5000 is designed to be used in large, open areas. With a range of 25 meters, the T5000 can screen people in public places, thus avoiding bottle-necks at border crossing or security checkpoints. It also means people can be screened without knowing it.The technology develops from British astronomers work in studying dying stars. Astronomers use T-ray cameras to see through
