28、Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words.
A local primary school is considering using tablet computers(平板电脑)in all classrooms from next year. The following text has been written by a teacher at the school.
Should we use tablet computers in the classroom?
The use of tablet computers(or simply“tablets”)in the classroom has become an increasingly popular choice in many primary schools across the country, including many in our local area. It is important that we consider this opportunity, but we must also be a 【1】 of the problems.
On one hand, there are many a【2】to use tablets in the classroom.
Firstly, tablets could improve productivity( 效 率 )during the school day. Because of their familiarity with computers and mobile phones, many of our students can type faster than they can write by hand. T【3】 , using tablets in the classroom could reduce the time it takes for them to complete tasks. Additionally, there are endless tablet functions(功能)which could provide interesting teaching a【4】. For example, we could play computer games to teach Maths, or make simple flashes to show how magnets behave. Also, students could take photos outdoors and then use them for writing tasks.
However, we must also consider the possible problems with introducing tablets to our classrooms. Some students may play with the tablets instead of f 【5】 on their work. Another problem is that, while many students can use tablets already, many of our teachers are not good at it and would need to be trained. We may also have problems with the tablets breaking, which would be very expensive to r【6】 . This is in addition to the cost of buying the tablets in the first place.
All in all, even though using tablets in the classroom may have many problems, it seems that it would be a wonderful opportunity for students and teachers at our school. There are a lot of costs indeed, but it would c【7】prove to be a worthwhile investment(物有所值的投资).
29、My friend Siberia once said, “Things do not give us true happiness.” “Is it really ______?” I used to wonder. But after I ______ a worldwide quarantine (隔离), I think it’s true.
During the quarantine, we lived in a different world. My new dress hung in my closet I had nowhere to wear it. My expensive car was parked I couldn’t go ______. My gym membership card lay in my wallet I haven’t used it for a long time. Siberia was right things do not make me happy.
I asked Siberia how to find ______. She said it was easy you just have to smile and be nice to everyone, even strangers.
I decided to try it. I opened WhatsApp and entered a chat group where my neighbors and I discussed our problems. I wrote, “Dear neighbors, I hope you’re having a great day! Everything will be all right.” I added a smiley emoji (表情符号). Within minutes, my phone received lots of ______ from my neighbors. People thanked me and wished me ______ a good day. One neighbor shared a fun song, another sent a cute kitten sticker, and another sent me a joke that made me laugh out loud.
I thought to myself, “I’ve made so many people happy ______ just a few words. If each of us said one nice thing, there could be so ______ happiness in the world!” This is why I’m starting the Kind Words Marathon. Let’s each write something nice every day to a friend, neighbor, volunteer… anyone! We can be there for each other during these hard times. ______ we keep spreading love and joy around, there won’t be any difficulty we cannot face ______.
