“Hi Dave, how are you today? Just thought I’d let you know what I’m doing,” the e-mail would read. Or “Sorry you’re going. I’ve had a good time and that would probably have had something to do with you, so thanks.”
In some ways, the relaxed attitude was shocking, says Melville. But it was a sign of how students’ understanding of their role has changed. “They have a more independent view of the university, and they feel free to comment,” said Melville.
A committee, led by Melville, was set up earlier this year to explore the change in students’ attitudes towards teachers.
“This is something being driven by young people,” said Melville. “They live surrounded by different kinds of electronic resources. They use social networking tools and things like Wikipedia. The first group of these students is now at university.”
Students do not regard teaching staff in the same way as previous students did. “Because Web 2.0, Google, Wikipedia are all about being able to change things yourself, students expect to be able to do this as well,” said Melville.
There have been other changes in the student-teacher relationship. If students choose to study through a social networking group, they are in control. They don’t always make staff welcome, and they are free to decide which staff members they allow in.
“Almost everybody who gets into using these kinds of technologies, it appears, becomes much shallower in their research,” said Melville.

Sandra Bullock turned 51 last month. But because she looks exactly the same as she did in Miss Congeniality, a movie filmed back in the 20th century, everyone calls her “ageless.” Bullock is just one of a number of stars in their 40s and 50s who’ve had birthdays recently but have not gotten older, unlike the rest of us in their age group. Halle Berry, for example. One website put a photo of her 20 years ago next to one of the newly 49-year-old Berry and dared us to choose which was which. “This Is What 49 Looks Like,” it said. Seriously, if that’s what 49 looks like, I must be 71.However, even a generation ago, famous faces evolved. Look at a picture of Grace Kelly at age 52 in the early 1980s. She looks like a beautiful middle-aged woman. Today she’d look old for her age.
The goal now is to prevent aging while you are still young, using all the magical nonsurgical options medicine has to offer. Eventually these techniques will become less expensive, and ordinary people of my daughter’s age will have them. Already anti-aging is starting to be considered maintenance, like coloring your hair. My friends and I find ourselves openly debating techniques that we used to make fun of. Does fat-freezing work? How much time do you have to spend in the gym to keep the body of a 35-year-old after 50? It’s all so exhausting. But members of the next generation have it tougher. They’ll have to ask themselves whether they want to spend their youth trying not to get old. I’ve already seen “Sexy at 70” headlines. Will everyone be expected to go to their graves looking hot?
I also have to wonder what else we are slowing along with age. How do you move on if you’re working so hard to stay the same? And besides, if you’ve known the ache of watching a daughter pack up for college, you know you can’t stop the clock.

IT’S always exciting to think about the future and what kind of technology might exist in years to come. But what if that future is closer than you think?
The name Magic Leap is starting to spread across the Internet, and for a good reason. The Magic Leap technology company in the US has been working on something new and exciting, keeping it so secret that even the people working on the project have been hidden from the media. But recently they have started to release more information, and it seems like the future of computing is about to change dramatically.
Magic Leap’s preview shows the possibility of a classroom where you can interact with a miniature 3-D man and watch animals floating in front of your eyes. You could come face to face with fierce creatures like tigers and sharks, and more might be possible very soon.
The company hopes to create new technology that mixes reality and virtual reality computing. This means that the way we interact with computers could change completely, and so could the gaming industry.
Imagine a game in which you can not only look after a dragon on a screen, but also see it walking around your home, feed it and play with it. This is a world where movies will make you jump as things come, flying at you. Rio Caraeff, the company’s chief content officer, said that instead of staring at a phone screen, “the world becomes your screen”.
All of this could be the next step for Magic Leap, and their newly-released video suggests so. The video shows a small elephant floating in the hands of its user, a virtual reality pet that the user can interact with. Exciting to think about, no?
It seems that the excitement has inspired other companies who are lining up to join in on this new project. The technology, called Cinematic Reality, is attracting the attention of large companies like Google, who are already investing large sums of money in the project hoping to see it become a reality.
【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是一篇科技類的說明文，講述一家科技公司正在研究的Magic leap 技術(shù)給人類未來生活帶來的變化。
12．Which of the following is TRUE about the Magic Leap technology company? （ ）
AThe company keeps updating the media on its progress.
BThe company has just discovered a way to mix reality and virtual reality computing.
CThe company is working on new technology that could improve the future of computing.
DThe company’s newly released video is about the interaction between a dragonpet and its user.
13. What could a classroom in the future look like, according to Magic Leap? （ ）
AA miniature 3D man could take the place of teachers.
BStudents could interact with virtual reality animals.
CStudents could be encouraged to raise a virtual reality pet on campus.
DThe gaming industry could be invited to help students improve their studies.
14. How could Magic Leap’s technology change the world according to the article? （ ）
AIt could discourage people from playing a lot of computer games.
BIt could turn the whole world into an interactive screen for its users.
CIt could help people improve their ability to interact with others.
DIt could make it hard for people to distinguish between virtual reality and reality.
15. What is Google’s attitude toward the technology named “Cinematic Reality”? （ ）
AOptimistic.BNegative.CWorried.DUnconcerned.

The importance of nurturing (培養(yǎng)) young children as readers has become more and more apparent. Here are four ways to help your child become a reader.
Read aloud.
Encourage close reading from the youngest age.
_ Use picture book illustrations to strike up deeper questions and conversations. Ask questions you don’t know the answers to so that children will be able to answer in ways that reflect their own ideas.
_
Entering the world of stories and knowledge should feel like an exciting discovery process. Create visual ways to track the journey. From a reading minute tracker to a “words we learned” or “our big ideas” chart, we can use these visuals to pause for “hip hiphooray (歡呼)” moments.
Honor each child’s unique identity.
Children become great readers by finding connections as they read. _ “I notice you like books where animals are the main characters.” “I notice you like books where girls are strong characters.” Even the youngest child will begin to recognize that each person’s reading choices matter.
_ A child who sees reading as a lifelong, constant companion is more likely to have a lifetime of success.
【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是說明文。文章就如何培養(yǎng)兒童的閱讀興趣提出幾點建議。
Asix-year study found reading aloud to children every day puts them almost a year ahead of children who do not receive daily read-alouds. _ Using texts above the children’s levels gives them the chance to hear high-level vocabulary and absorb complex language structures. Reading aloud below their levels also allows them to relax and enjoy beloved texts.
BMake the journey a celebration.
CHand them a pen when it is necessary.
DWe can do this by asking them questions.
EName what you notice about why a child is drawn to a text.
FYoung children can read early and should be reading all year.
GIt is a way to bathe children in the power of the written words.
The child builds the knowledge that is necessary for being a reader.

_ second book, by US author Veronica Roth, _ (publish) in 2012. It has spent 105 weeks on the USA Today best-selling books list and _ (current) ranks No 1.
The trilogy’s story begins in a futuristic Chicago _ people are divided into five distinct groups. Each group is characterized by certain traits – Abnegation (the selfless), Dauntless (the brave), Erudite (the intelligent), Amity (the peaceful) and Candor (the honest). Every child, at 16, takes a test _ (see) which of the five factions he or she belongs to. But Beatrice Prior, born in Abnegation, is qualified _ three, meaning she is a Divergent. And she is told not to tell _ if she wants to stay alive.
So the decision is between staying with her family or being true to herself. Beatrice ends up _ (choose) the Dauntless. After joining her new group, Beatrice renames herself Tris and tries to prove her _ (brave) with amazing things like jumping off a moving train onto a rooftop. While undergoing these extreme physical tests, Tris must also determine who her real friends are.
The story of the trilogy “explores a more common adolescent anxiety – the painful realization _ coming into one’s own sometimes means leaving family behind, both ideologically and physically”, commented The New York Times.

We have a pet tortoise named J.T., short of “Just Tortoise”. J.T. ran away one evening when we were in the yard, clean his tank. Tortoises don’t usually move very much fast, but J.T. surprised us. One minute he was there, and next minute he was gone. For days, we looked everywhere, so we couldn’t find J.T. We missed him terrible.
One night, about three months later, something in front of the garage door caught my attentions. At first, I thought it was a bigger rock. But it was J.T.! He had found his way home after all those weeks. We often wonder which kind of adventure our little tortoise has that summer. We’ll never know.

The company hopes to create new technology that mixes reality and virtual reality computing. This means that the way we interact with computers could change completely, and so could the gaming industry.
Imagine a game in which you can not only look after a dragon on a screen, but also see it walking around your home, feed it and play with it. This is a world where movies will make you jump as things come, flying at you. Rio Caraeff, the company’s chief content officer, said that instead of staring at a phone screen, “the world becomes your screen”.
All of this could be the next step for Magic Leap, and their newly-released video suggests so. The video shows a small elephant floating in the hands of its user, a virtual reality pet that the user can interact with. Exciting to think about, no?
It seems that the excitement has inspired other companies who are lining up to join in on this new project. The technology, called Cinematic Reality, is attracting the attention of large companies like Google, who are already investing large sums of money in the project hoping to see it become a reality.

The importance of nurturing (培養(yǎng)) young children as readers has become more and more apparent. Here are four ways to help your child become a reader.
Read aloud.
Encourage close reading from the youngest age.
_ Use picture book illustrations to strike up deeper questions and conversations. Ask questions you don’t know the answers to so that children will be able to answer in ways that reflect their own ideas.
_
Entering the world of stories and knowledge should feel like an exciting discovery process. Create visual ways to track the journey. From a reading minute tracker to a “words we learned” or “our big ideas” chart, we can use these visuals to pause for “hip hiphooray (歡呼)” moments.
Honor each child’s unique identity.
Children become great readers by finding connections as they read. _ “I notice you like books where animals are the main characters.” “I notice you like books where girls are strong characters.” Even the youngest child will begin to recognize that each person’s reading choices matter.
_ A child who sees reading as a lifelong, constant companion is more likely to have a lifetime of success.
【語篇導(dǎo)讀】本文是說明文。文章就如何培養(yǎng)兒童的閱讀興趣提出幾點建議。
Asix-year study found reading aloud to children every day puts them almost a year ahead of children who do not receive daily read-alouds. _ Using texts above the children’s levels gives them the chance to hear high-level vocabulary and absorb complex language structures. Reading aloud below their levels also allows them to relax and enjoy beloved texts.
BMake the journey a celebration.
CHand them a pen when it is necessary.
DWe can do this by asking them questions.
EName what you notice about why a child is drawn to a text.
FYoung children can read early and should be reading all year.
GIt is a way to bathe children in the power of the written words.
The child builds the knowledge that is necessary for being a reader.

_ second book, by US author Veronica Roth, _ (publish) in 2012. It has spent 105 weeks on the USA Today best-selling books list and _ (current) ranks No 1.
The trilogy’s story begins in a futuristic Chicago _ people are divided into five distinct groups.

After joining her new group, Beatrice renames herself Tris and tries to prove her _ (brave) with amazing things like jumping off a moving train onto a rooftop. While undergoing these extreme physical tests, Tris must also determine who her real friends are.

We have a pet tortoise named J.T., short of “Just Tortoise”. J.T. ran away one evening when we were in the yard, clean his tank. Tortoises don’t usually move very much fast, but J.T. surprised us. One minute he was there, and next minute he was gone. For days, we looked everywhere, so we couldn’t find J.T. We missed him terrible.
One night, about three months later, something in front of the garage door caught my attentions. At first, I thought it was a bigger rock. But it was J.T.! He had found his way home after all those weeks. We often wonder which kind of adventure our little tortoise has that summer. We’ll never know.

考查方向
本題考查了如何寫自己的所感所想的相關(guān)知識點。
解題思路
這是一篇如何寫自己的所感所想 。主要人稱為第一人稱，基本時態(tài)以一般現(xiàn)在時和將來時為主。
首先是問候，第二段是面臨畢業(yè)的所感所想，后是期望回信。同學(xué)們基本上只要按照題目給出的要點進行發(fā)揮即可。一方面，要注意文章的結(jié)構(gòu)，如 in the first place, to solve the problem, Firstly，Also，What’s more，Last but not least等可以讓文章成為一個整體，更為流暢。另一方面，還要注意交際的得體性，如文章可使用when it comes to, not only... but also..., I’d like to等使句式多樣、語氣較為婉轉(zhuǎn)。
參考詞匯和短語： Firstly，Also，What’s more，Last but not least等可以讓文章成為一個整體，更為流暢。when it comes to, not only... but also..., I’d like to使句式多樣、語氣較為婉轉(zhuǎn)。
