Today, such teaching tools as iPads are used in a lot of courses, including language, history and science. Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom. Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos, students can do this on their own and e to class prepared for discussion. The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own pace. Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it, so they can save time for doing other things. Other students, however, might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it. Using iPads is especially helpful to students who are learning a language at different paces. The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn (such as listening to stories and watching movies).

Teaching notes are stored in their iPads and are easy to find .Some students spend more time studying now. “I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait until I get home,” a student explained.

Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more time watching videos on an iPad, he will have fewer opportunities to have face-to-face munication with others. However, technologies are already a part of most students day-to-day lives. As for cheating, teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make changes with the times as technology is playing an important part.

But have you ever thought about what they mean to your eyes?According to a study, half of British people own smartphones and they spend an average (平均) of two hours a day using them. There has been a 35% increase in the number of people in the UK who suffer from shortsightedness（近视）since smartphones were introduced there in 1997.Staring（盯）at smartphones for long time gives you dry eyes. When looking at something in the distance, your eyes automatically blink（自动眨眼）a certain number of times. However, when you look at things closer to your face, the blinking slows down. This reduces the amount of tears and causes disfort in your eyes. Another bad habit is using smartphones in dark rooms before going to sleep. If you look at a bright screen while your pupils（瞳孔）bee larger, too much light enters your eyes. This can do harm to the eyes and cause a disease called glaua（青光眼）.While youre probably not going to stop using to your smartphone, there are a few things you can do to protect your eyes. Hold your phone at least 30 centimetres away from your eyes when using it. Take a break every hour and try the following: look at something at least five meters from you and then focus on the tip of your nose. Repeat this several times. It should reduce the disfort in your eyes.46. From Paragraph 2, we learn that _.A. most of the British people began to use smartphones 19 years ago B. each of the British people spends two hours a day on smartphonesC. all British people have suffered from shortsightedness since 1997D. the number of British people who own smartphones increases by 35%47. According to Paragraph 3, using smartphones improperly may cause _.A. too many blinks B. more tears in the eyesC. larger pupils D. dry eyes and glaua 48. Which of the following is suggested by the writer ?A. Hold the phone at least half a meter away from the eyes.B. Dont use the phone for over an hour without a break.C. Turn off your phone for a couple of hours every day.D. Look at something green far away for several minutes.49. The Chinese meaning of the underlined word “smartphone” is _.
