The note might be a thank-you for a special moment, or a few words of encouragement for the coming test or sporting event.When they were little, they loved their notes. And when I went back to teaching, they even put notes in my lunches. As they grew older, my elder son, Marc, told me that he no longer needed my daily notes. Telling him that he no longer needed to read them but I still needed to write them, I continued the tradition until the day he graduated.Six years after high school graduation, Marc called and asked if he could stay at home for a couple of months. He had spent those years well, and he was very successful. He lived far away from home. With his younger sister leaving for college, I was especially looking forward to seeing Marc at home.Since I was still making lunch every day for his younger brother, I packed one for Marc, too. Imagine my surprise when I got a call from my 24-year-old son, complaining (抱怨) about his lunch.“Did I do something wrong? Arent I still your kid? Dont you love me any more, Mom?” he asked.I laughingly asked him what was wrong.“My note, Mom,” he answered. “Wheres my note?”This year my younger son will be in high school.

I was passing by. It said, Happiness is a direction, not a destination(终点).I had been having a bad day and just reading this brightened my day a little. I also took out-a pen and wrote one of my favorite quotes(格言）downWhen I came back to the fence, I saw another quote under mine in the handwriting as the first one. I added another, and we kept at this pattern for quite a while. One day, I was writing another quote on the fence and the old man, one of my neighbors, who owned the fence, saw me. He came out and I was afraid he would be mad at me for writing on his fence; he was not known to be very friendly. He gave me a sharp glance and then read the quotes on the fence. Without saying a word, he said something to himself and then went back inside I was a bit terrified for a while, afraid to go back to the fence, but when I did, I noticed not more quotes but two words in entirely different handwriting had been added,“Thank you.”Later, I saw the old man in his front yard. He beckoned(召唤）me over and told me how my quotes had been inspiring him, how he thanked me and how he was glad to see young people still have values. We are now good friends and I talk to him a lot.

But I know that there are times when I need to move away from three devices and truly communicate with others.Once, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. I want students to thoroughly 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 the class, some of them were not happy.Most students believe that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. Theres a bit of truth to that. Some students think that I am anti-technology. Theres no truth to that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it so I can teach my students well.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and truly exchange ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for outstanding ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently.Ive been teaching my history class in this way for many years and students realize that 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 of technology-free conversation is just too sweet to give up.18 .

The writer wants to tell us that _.Atechnology has different influences in different classes in collegeBtechnology makes it difficult to have true communication in classChistory classes can help students to develop their deep thinkingDit is time for him to give up his teaching method in history class三、根据首字母、中文提示填空根据句意及首字母或汉语提示完成单词24 .
