As Ive grown older, my daydreams have bee increasingly occupied less with fantasy but more with the reality of my past and future. Nearly everyone daydreams about their future and reflects nostalgically (念旧地) or negatively on moments of the past. These moments can provide inspiration, but if you spend too much time daydreaming in this fashion, you may be reducing your success in the present.If youve ever planned a vacation, youre familiar with the impatient days tapping at your desk, dreaming of the lazy, relaxing days to e. Unfortunately, sometimes you end up paring the real vacation to your imagined one, and it doesnt live up to the standard. Reflecting nostalgically on the past can also prevent present enjoyment. It is equally fun to reflect on past achievements or fun events, but its possible to be so consumed with happy memories that you miss opportunities to create more. Weve all made mistakes that were ashamed of; reflecting on them is an important step in correcting those mistakes and being a better person. But dwelling （细想）too long on your past can also be negative. If you dwell too long on a past mistake, you can begin to equate（使等同）yourself with your past and feel farther away from the person you want to be. Train your brain to think quickly about the past and future, and take only the information and inspiration that you need in order to be the best person you can without resting on your glory moments or your mistakes. If your identity is not dependent on the past or future, every experience is new and every day is a blank page for you to write. A fun mental exercise is to always tell yourself that youre experiencing things for the first time. So take advantage of each moment youre given.24. What does the author think of daydreaming?A. Its the favorite for many kids.B. It can lead to fantastic adventures.C. Its the major source of inspiration.D. It has both strengths and weaknesses.25. What can we learn from Paragraph 2?A. Past achievements strongly influence us.B. Its important to be patient with our present life.C. Daydreaming may make the present disappointing.D. Reflecting nostalgically on the past brings us no pleasure.26. What should we avoid doing according to Paragraph 3?A. Reflecting on the past. B. Resting on our past experiences.C. Thinking about our past mistakes.D. Feeling ashamed of our past mistakes.27. Whats the authors purpose in writing the text?A. To tell about her childhood.B. To tell how to let go the past.C. To suggest we focus on the present.D. To encourage us to learn from mistakes.COn a February afternoon in a classroom, Taylor came face to face with a cowbut it was all in her headA virtual（虚拟的）reality headset had transported her and her classmates to a farm 250 miles away and for them, the technology means field trips are no longer limited by a bus ride.On any given day, students nationwide walk through fields, dive into deep sea, and observe medical operations by using such headset. Its another way to attract the iPhone generation of students and improve their understanding and their grades.Richard Lamb is a scientist working at Buffalo Science Lab. In the lab, the physical effects of virtual reality bee clear as participants experience motion (运动) sickness without moving. “Some of the research were doing has shown that what you experience in virtual reality has very similar responses that you would get if you were doing the actual activity, ” Lamb said. Its unknown how many classrooms have or will adopt the technology, but experts say its still relatively rare. While individual headsets that require a users phone can cost as little as $20 or $30, systems and software for classes will cost thousands of dollars. Early plaints about a lack of good software are fading as more panies enter the market, but the rules for use havent necessarily caught up with the technology.In New York, virtual lab experiments dont count toward the states hands-on lab time requirements. Even so, the sciences are an area where virtual reality holds particular promise for classrooms. “The biggest impediment is going to be the quality of that experience, and that means how closely it mimics (模仿) the physical world, ” said David Evans, a scientist. “ Doing dangerous things and running into a lot more cases represent a huge learning opportunity.”Lamb agreed. “Too often in schools, when we do things in labs, you mix things together and you get this oute. And if you dont get that oute, you did something wrong, but we dont have enough resources for you to redo it,” he said. “In virtual reality, all I do is on the puter. I dont have to actually use chemicals.”28. What does a virtual reality headset really help the students do?A. Take some exercise. B. Perform an operation.C. Go for a bus ride. D. Have different experiences.29. The technology is rarely used in classrooms mainly because _.A. students show little interest in itB. its too expensive for users to afford itC. supporting software is inaccessible yetD. its inconvenient to be operated by students30. Which word can replace the underlined word “impediment” in Paragraph 5?A. Opportunity. B. Difficulty.C. Surprise. D. Disappointment.31. Which of the following statements do both Lamb and Evans agree with?A. This technology can save students a lot of time.B. This technology is safe when used in experiments.C. This technology can produce a better result in real life.D. This technology can enrich students learning experiences.DIn todays world, understanding how to analyze big data is a significant tool for students, scientists, and citizens alikeand a key topic during both speeches at the xx Research Teachers Conference.During their speeches, Lisa Purcell, Senior Scientist at Regeneron and Ruth Krumhansl, founder of the Oceans of Data Institute, both offered remendations to more than 200 teachers at the conference on how to effectively use big data in the classroom.“Having a lot of data is worthless unless you can make sense of it, ” Ruth said. “We have a responsibility to help our students make wise decisions in a very plex world.” Ruth explained that she is always seeking to increase data literacy（数据素养能力）and transform science education using big data. With these resources, students can conduct a variety of big data research projects all from the classroom.

According to Ruth, students should begin working with data from a young age. This will enable students to practice analytical thinking as early as possible, and to begin asking important questions about what is going on in our world. And big data can help answer questions that students have. “Students are interested in what is known, but they get more excited about what is not known,” she said.32.
