26、 was almost unheard of a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2011,when my husband arranged for me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time ,I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community（社

27、区）announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good he

28、alth. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldnt believe it. Inspired by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were against it.One June 11, 2009,

29、 nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasnt frightenedI was really just looking forward to the experience.

30、When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before J

31、ay opened the parachute（降落伞）, then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever feltmuch better than the hot air balloon.

32、 hope other people will look at me and realize that you dont stop living just because you are 84 years old. If theres something you want to experience, look into it.

42、rs nonfiction to fiction articles CStudents and Technology in the ClassroomI love my Blackberryits my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop computer, as it holds all of my writing and thought. Despite this love of technology, I know that there are

43、times when I need to move away from these devices（设备）and truly communicate with others.On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly

44、 study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom. I have a rule no laptops, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the p

45、ast with students misusing technology. Theres a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. Theres no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that

46、 I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas.

47、I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course the material and the class discussion.Ive been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the educations reflect student satisfaction with the environment that I create .Students realize that

48、 with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.Im not saying that I wont ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change. Im sticking to my plan. A few hours

49、 of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.63Some of the students in the history class were unhappy with_Athe course material Bothers misuse of technology Cdiscussion topics Dthe authors class regulations64The underlined word “engage ”in Para.4 probably means _.Aexplore Baccept Cchang

50、eDreject 65According to the author ,the use of technology in the classroom may _.Akeep students from doing independent thinking Bencourage students to have in-depth conversationsChelp students to better understand complex themes Daffect students concentration on course evaluation66It can be inferred

51、 from the last paragraph that the author _Ais quite stubborn Bwill give up teaching history Cwill change his teaching plan soon Dvalues technology-free dialogues in his class DTrain-spottingMany people around the world have seen Danny Boyles movie Trainspotting starring Ewan McGregor, but how many o

52、f us really know what train-spotting is all about? Now this is not considered cool in town and the word “train-spotter” in Britain is related to “geek” or “nerd” (someone who seems very ridiculous). But is this reputation really deserved?First of all, lets see what train spotting is. It is said that

53、 there are some 100,000 train spotters in the UK. Exactly as the title suggests, they spot trains, that is, they stand in train stations, look at the number of each train that leaves and arrives and write it down. The eventual aim is to have seen every train in the country. Being crazy about railway

54、s and trains is not modern and it dates back to 1804. As the number of trains grew and they got faster and faster, so did the interest in them grow. Is this any stranger than people who love cars?So, what do you need to be a train-spotter? Well, all you really need is a pen or pencil and a notebook

55、to write down the train numbers. Other equipment includes hot tea in a thermos, a camera and some sandwiches for those long afternoons spent on train platforms when you dont want to risk the delights of railway station food. Its interesting to note that despite the “bad name” of train-spotting, there have
