24、A group of 30 young people in a software company was a team who were willing to learn. The team leader decided to teach them about finding real solutions (解决办法) to the problems.
The team was called to play a game in a hall. They were quite surprised. As they entered the hall, they found the hall decorated with colourful papers and balloons all over the place. It was more like a kid's play area, than a meeting hall. Also, there was a huge box of balloons placed in the hall.
The team leader asked everyone to pick a balloon from the box and asked them to blow it. Every one happily picked a balloon and blew it.
Then the team leader asked them to write their names on their balloon carefully so that the balloons didn't blow up. All tried to write their names on the balloons, but not everyone was successful. A few balloons blew up because of pressure (压力) and they were given another chance to use another balloon.
Those who failed to mark their names even after the second chance were ruled out of the game. After the second chance, 25 were left to move on to the next level. All the balloons were collected and then put into a room.
The team leader announced the members to go to the room and pick the same balloon that had his name on it. Also, he told them that no balloon should blow up and warned them to be very careful!
All 25 members reached the room, where the balloons carrying their names were thrown here and there. They were searching for the balloons carrying their names. While they were in a rush to find the balloons, they tried not to burst them. It was almost 15 minutes and no one was able to find the balloon carrying his own name.
The team was told that the second level of the game was over.
Now it is the third and final level. They were asked to pick any balloon in the room and give it to the person named on the balloon. Within a couple of minutes all balloons reached the hands of each person.
The team leader announced: this is called the real solution to the problems.

25、 Looking through a magazine in a waiting room recently, I came across an article with the title "My top five most precious possessions(财产)". It was just a few lines of text with pictures, but it caught my imagination.
It's interesting how inanimate (无生命的) objects can take on such significance and become woven (编织) into a person's, and sometimes a whole family's, life history.
Anyway, the article had me considering what my most precious possessions are. It was difficult to choose only five, but here are mine:
An old cardboard box filled with my children's baby photos.
A yellow pocket-sized birthday book of special things (poems, pictures of flowers and trees, etc) given to me by my dad when I was probably about seven or eight years old.
A 21st birthday card from my mum. In it she's written her congratulations, her love, and her hopes for my future. She died not long after, when I was in my early twenties.
A few ancient but very beautiful botany books that were once my great grandmother's. She was a botanist in a time when it was relatively unusual for women to be qualified in this field and I think she was probably a remarkable and very interesting woman. I'd like to have known her.
A brooch (胸针) left to me by my much-loved grandmother. It is not worth anything in terms of money. However, it not only stands for a link between four generations of women, but it is also a reminder of one young man's return from World War I.
How about you? I'd love to hear what you feel are your most precious possessions.

26、 I love my Blackberry mobile phone – it’s my little connection to the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my computer, as it holds all of my writing and thoughts. However, I know there are times when I need to move away from these things and truly communicate with others.
I teach a course called History Matters in college. My goals for the class include a deep discussion of historical subjects and ideas. Because I want students to fully study the material and discuss with each other in the classroom, I have a rule – no computers, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule, some of them were not happy.
Most students think my reasons for this rule include negative experiences in the past when students made wrong use of technology. There’s a bit of truth to that. I’ve seldom had students make wrong use of technology in my classes; however, I have been e-mailed by students while they were in other teachers’ classrooms.
Some students think that I am anti-technology. There’s no truth in that at all. As I noted above, I love technology and try to keep up with it.
The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations. Interruptions (中断) by technology often break students’ thoughts and make them depend too much on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep in 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.
I have been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations (评价) show student satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize with deep conversation and difficult tasks, they learn at a deeper level – a level that helps them keep the course material beyond the classroom.
I am not saying that I won’t ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I will continue my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.
【1】The writer’s rule for his History Matters class is ____.
A.discussing historical ideas deeply
B.studying and discussing the materials
C.leaving technology out of the classroom
D.making right use of technology in class
【2】The word “negative” in Paragraph 3 means ____.
A.similar B.unforgettable C.special D.unpleasant
【3】What can we infer from the passage?
A.Students make right use of technology in other teachers’ classes.
B.The classroom is one of the good places to have deep conversations.
C.The writer encourages students to agree with others after discussion.
D.Students are unhappy with the writer’s way of teaching history.
【4】The writer wants to tell us that ____.
A.technology has different influences in different classes in college
B.technology makes it difficult to have true communication in class
C.history classes can help students to develop their deep thinking
D.it is time for him to give up his teaching method in history class

Receiving money makes me uncomfortable.
People _____ many books about “the art of giving”. How about the art of receiving? Sometimes, it can be hard to receive a gift, _____ when you get a gift you don’t want.
“I remember at the age of about twelve years old, my parents _____ a purple purse for me,” laughs Guo Xiaojing. “It really _____me, to tell the truth, the purse was really ugly in my opinion! However, I pretended _____ it as I knew it would make my parents happy.”
Han Ling, the twenty-year-old girl agrees. “That _____ me of my grandparents. _____ years ago, my grandparents gave me an orange sweater _____my birthday. _____ I visited them, I used to wear it. But I would _____ as soon as I left their house. Of course, this made me feel guilty. It was a very nice thought, but my taste is totally different from _____ . I think it’s difficult to buy clothes or other personal things for people.
_____ make things more difficult, some people _____ give money. However, in some cultures, people may feel uncomfortable _____ money. “When I get money from someone as a gift, I just feel they are being lazy,” says John Wilson from England. “We also have a saying: It’s the thought that counts. When someone gives me money, I don’t think they thought at all. I really like to receive a gift that has some thought behind it. I don’t mind if the gift is what I don’t need. I’m always happy that someone has thought about a gift for me.”
