I ran down the stairs, out of the schools front doors, and down the street to the primary school. I remember looking down at my feet. As I looked down I thought to myself, How am I running so fast?I finally made it to a safe classroom, and 20 other students and I settled in for lockdown. We stayed close to one another and cried. It felt as though the tears going down our faces would never stop.

I also love my computer, as it stores all of my writing and thoughts. Though I love these devices (装置) of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from them and truly communicate with others.I teach history in a high school. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and share their ideas with each other in the classroom. I have a rule- no computers, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule before class, some of them were not happy at all.Most students think 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 believe that I am anti-technology. Theres no truth in that at all. I love technology and try 10o 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 I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations. Interruptions (打断) by technology often break concentration and allow for t00 much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and to make connections between the course material and the class discussion.Ive been teaching my history class in this way for many years and students realize that with deep conversation, 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. A few hours of technology- free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.（1）Whats the second paragraph mainly about? A . The reasons why students should use computers or iPads in class.B .

More and more students will be absent in history class.3. （10分）阅读短文，从下面每小题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Mike Myers is a teacher at Chauncey Rose High School in Terre Haute, Indiana.
