In a class this past December,after I wrote some directions on the board for students about their final examination,one young woman quickly took a picture of the board using her smart phone. When I looked in her direction,she apologized :“Sorry. Was it wrong to take a picture?”
“I can’t read my own handwriting,” the young woman explained. “It’s best if I take a picture of your writing so I can understand the notes. ”
That remark started a class-wide conversation about taking a picture instead of taking notes. For those in the phototaking camp,motivations extended beyond their inability to comprehend their own handwriting. Some took pictures of notes because they knew their phone was a safe place to store material. They might lose paper,they reasoned,but they wouldn’t lose their phones. Some took photos because they wanted to record exactly the manner in which I had noted information on the board. Others told me that during class they liked to be able to listen to the discussion attentively.
Yet the use of cameras as note takers,though it may be convenient,does raise significant questions for the classroom. Is a picture an effective replacement for the process of note-taking?
Instructors encourage students to take notes because the act of doing so is more than merely recording necessary information—it helps prepare the way for understanding. Encouraging students to take notes may be an old-fashioned instructional method,but a method having a long history doesn’t mean it’s out of date. Writing things down engages a student’s brain in listening,visual,and kinesthetic (動覺的) learning—a view supported by a longstanding research. The act of writing down information enables a person to begin committing it to memory,and to process and combine it,establishing the building blocks of learning new concepts.
Taking a picture does indeed record the information,but it deletes some of the necessary mental engagement that taking notes employs. So can the two be equally effective?
I’m not sure how to measure the effectiveness of either method. For now,I allow students to take notes however they see fit—handwritten or photographed—because I figure that some notes,no matter the method of note-taking,are better than none.

Jimmy is an automotive mechanic,but he lost his job a few months ago. He has good heart,but always fears applying for a new job.

“Sorry to keep you waiting,but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our workforce before you even stepped into the office. I just know you’d be a trustworthy worker.

This way,they will certainly lose the “holy curiosity”. Try to dig deeper beneath the surface of what is around you. A sure way to dig deeper beneath the surface is asking questions. What,why,when,who,where,and how are the questions curious people always ask.
Don’t label anything as boring. Whenever you label something as boring,you close one more door of possibilities. Curious people are unlikely to consider things boring.3. Even if they don’t yet have time to explore them,they will leave the door open to be visited another time.

In our world today,the media and entertainment industries are constantly focusing on beauty over brains. Movies,television shows,commercials,and magazines all make use of models and actors whose physical attributes (特性) will sell their product.
As our country is trying to reduce the obesity numbers,eating disorder statistics continue to increase due to the push for thinner people. While obesity is a serious medical condition that can lead to many health problems,many of us try to lose weight for appearance purposes. Children as young as elementary school age have begun to worry about the numbers that appear on the scale. In my opinion,it seems that “fat” has become the new “ugly”.
Two weeks ago,37-year-old Wisconsin television reporter Livingston,who is 235 pounds,received an e-mail from a man named Krause. In the e-mail Krause attacked her,writing, “Your physical condition hasn’t improved for many years. Surely you don’t consider yourself a suitable example for this community’s young people,girls in particular. ”
Today,it seems that a vast majority of people care more about how they look and appear to their peers rather than what is inside. The truth is that every person is built differently;we all come in different shapes and sizes. Just because someone is heavier,that doesn’t mean they eat large amounts of junk food around the day. Likewise,even though a person is thin,that doesn’t mean they are necessarily healthy and fit.
If you are reading this and you struggle with your weight or your appearance,please recognize that you are beautiful and special in your own way. You are worth so much more than you realize,and even if I don’t know you,understand that I respect and support you. Beauty is not defined by size;it is defined by how we treat others and respect ourselves. In the words of the talented film actress Kirstie Alley, “There’s a lot more to life than how fat or thin you are. ”
( ) 1. With so many people losing weight,it will end in
A. models’ and actors’ appearance in ads
B. the fall of media and entertainment industries
C. more and more people becoming obese
D. more people’s suffering from eating disorder
( ) 2. The underlined phrase “the numbers that appear on the scale” in the second paragraph may mean“ ”
A. intelligence B. weight
C. patience D. strength
( ) 3. The writer used the example of Livingston to show
A. people think “fat” looks ugly
B. fat people are becoming cleverer
C. her physical condition is good
D. young people never follow examples
( ) 4. What Kirstie Alley said means .
A. people should pay attention to the appearance
B. there is no need for any people to go on a diet
C. people are beautiful when they concern others
D. there’s always someone who understands and supports you

Stay on the brighter side of life One very important component of optimism is gratitude or feeling grateful. In fact,there is a strong connection between a grateful attitude and a heightened sense of well-being. Appreciate all the positives in your life by starting a gratitude journal in order to remember what you’re grateful for.1. Feeling down? Instead of feeling sorry for yourself waiting for the universe to throw you a bone,try acting like you’re happy—even if you aren’t. A sincere smile and a forced smile will cause the same chemical reactions in your brain,so you can actually fool your mind into feeling better by making it react chemically as if things were going well.2. Reassure yourself that everything is good—even if you don’t feel it.
“3. If you’re stuck in traffic,then everything else must be going horribly too”’says Anne Parker,a wellness counselor. By blowing negative events out of proportion,you’re setting yourself up for feeling down all day. Instead,acknowledge that you’re stuck in traffic,but also bring to mind something good,like the beautiful scenery outside the window. That way,you’ll get in the habit of forbidding negative circumstances from blanketing your whole day.
Swearing to lose 20 pounds or to run a marathon seems like goals leading to happiness,but they take time to achieve.4. You may even end up admitting that you have been defeated. However,if you focus on the small milestones that occur along the way,you will feel positive about your progress,which will give you the strength to keep going.
5. Try making someone else’s day better. A report by United Healthcare and Volunteer Match found that volunteers are 72% more likely to characterize themselves as optimistic compared with non-volunteers. Plus,89% of volunteers say that volunteering has improved their sense of well-being,and 92% say that it enriches their sense of purpose in life.
A. Try to help someone in need.
B. Want to give your attitude a lift?
C. People tend to think in an either-or way.
D. Act in an optimistic way—smile,laugh,tell a joke.
E. You’ll fail to appreciate more important things in your life.
F. By focusing on not having accomplished them yet,you will start to feel down on yourself.
G. By remembering the pleasant things in your life,you can actually turn a negative attitude around.
