The organization, founded in 2005, is called the One Laptop (笔记本电脑) per Child (OLPC). Its goal is to provide the worlds children with cheap, but

28、powerful notebook computers.The computer is special in that it is a childrens notebook. Its keyboard is small, and the machine is strong enough against being dropped.

29、to connect to the Internet.In the classroom, the notebook has many functions. It can be used to take notes and do homework. Plus, students can draw pictures and create reports. It is also an e-book reader, and comes with many books pre-installed (安装). In fact, one of its goals is to replace books in

30、 schools with limited resources.The notebook went into production in November 2007. Teachers in places like Peru and Nigeria are already reporting a difference.

35、n that children are growing up without the skills to read classic works of English literature, such as Charles Dickens and that they are not being taught to have the lengthy attention spans (时段) necessary for his texts. She blames this attention shortfall on the terrible television programmes. It is

36、 true that children have never had more entertainment (娱乐) to choose from than today. And it is probably true that this generations attention span is shorter; my children have dismissed as “too slow” or “boring” most of the childhood books I saved for them. I was quite upset about this until I rerea

Until then, Ill take comfort from the fact that the 1969 classic The Very Hungry Caterpillar is still the most-read childre

41、ns book in Britain. It has underdeveloped characterization, yes, and the vocabulary is limited. But as a starter to give children an appetite (食欲) for reading, it is priceless. 59.
