Modern technology (技术) has provided us with lots of ways we can make learning more interesting. Perhaps most importantly of all, its also more interactive (互动).Some kinds of tools have been developed. They make the 21st century learning experience much more interactive and interesting. Attracting the attention of students is always difficult, but these tools have made a big difference in how pupils learn.For example, an interactive whiteboard is different from a traditional chalkboard. It allows the teachers to show images and provide sounds as well. If you imagine a large computer screen with colorful images and sounds added in, you can see why so many pupils are drawn in by what they see and hear in a modern classroom.Various audio (声音的) tools also help to make sure that everyone can hear what the teacher has to say. In the past, if a teacher said something that a child missed, perhaps the child was too timid (胆小的) or nervous to ask them to repeat it. Now they are less likely to miss out simply because theyre sitting too far away from the teacher to hear them.The 21st century classroom is able to teach pupils more than one thing. For example, imagine a history lesson is given in a modern classroom. How is it different from a classroom setting in the past? The answer is simple. The students will not only learn about history itself, they will also learn how to use the modern equipment (设备) that helps the teacher get their messages across.Modern technology can make teaching and learning easier. Student response (应答) system makes everyone able to express their opinions or answers without having to speak up. Since everyone can do it, the teacher can see who needs more help in other ways.Its clear that this kind of classroom technology is making a great difference in modern classrooms.（1） Modern technology _. A . is less interactiveB . makes learning more boringC . only uses blackboards and chalkD . provides us with many better learning ways（2） The interactive whiteboard _. A . allows the teachers to show images and sounds as wellB . cant attract pupils attention in the classC . is the same as traditional chalkboardD . is a computer screen with only black and white images（3） How can the various audio tools help in learning?

It helps teachers to speak as much as they can.D . It can only repeat what the teachers say.（4） What can you imagine a modern classroom different from the one setting the past? A . Students can learn all subjects with modern technology except History.B . Teachers dont have to be in the class.C . Students can express their ideas more freely.D . Teachers have to ask students who needs more help one by one.（5） In the last paragraph, the underlined phrase making a great difference means _.

Success belongs to those who are willing to go after it and try their best to do what they have to do. Here are some useful practical ways for you if you want to be successful.Desire. Desire is the strong wish to achieve a goal. Without desire you have nothing. Before you can run with desire, your goal must be clear, and it must also be exciting.Show up. 70% of success in life is showing up. You cant have a best seller, if you have never written a book. You cant get your dream job, if youre afraid to turn in an application. Showing up doesnt guarantee（保证）success, but if you dont show up, you wont succeed.Fail. Unless youre willing to have a try, fail unhappily, and have another try, success wont happen. To have success you have to do things in the right way, but often the only way to do something right is to first fail at it. As Thomas J. Watson said, a simple formula（公式）for success is to double your failure（失败）. So welcome failure, become a student of failure, learn from failure, and soon you will succeed.Work Harder. Everyone runs, but everyone is not willing to run for an hour every day. Success is not about doing what the common person cant do. Its about doing what the common person is unwilling to do. And on a deeper level, its about creating habits that the common person is unwilling to create. Its the habit of doing things with excellence that causes success.Enjoy the Journey. Success is a journey, not a destination（终点）. Success is not a
