Some students spend too much time on the Internet. They forget to study, eat and sleep. They become unable to communicate with people in real life. They are addicted to （沉迷） the Internet. Parents worry about this problem. Some send their children to medical centers or special camps for help. But not all of those places are good for the kids. In July, the public was shocked by news that a doctor in Shandong was using electric shocks to treat teenagers.

The following month, a 15-year-old boy, Deng Senshan, was beaten to death （毆打致死） just hours after checking into a camp in Guangxi. Days later Chen Liang, a teenager from Sichuan, was taken to the hospital with serious injuries after a similar attack. China now has more than 298 million Internet users. More than 55 percent of them are young people under 25. Some surveys show that about 10 percent of those spend long hours on the Internet. Early this month, to stop such shocking treatments from happening again, the government published guidelines （指導(dǎo)） for teenage Internet use. According to the guidelines, treatments aren't allowed to limit the child's freedom or include physical punishment （體罰）. Teenagers are advised to limit their time online and avoid killing time on the Web. The guidelines suggest that parents should spend more time with their children and pay attention to what they do online. China isn't the only country with this problem. It is reported that about 5 to 10 percent of Americans suffer from Internet addiction. The problem is also serious in South Korea. Some doctors think Internet addiction is a mental illness that needs medical treatment, but others disagree. They think it can be managed by the people themselves.

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 (中斷) 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 (評(píng)價(jià)) 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.

56.  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

57.  The word “negative” in Paragraph 3 means ____.

A. similar         B. unforgettable    C. special     D. unpleasant

58.  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.

59.  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

　　E-mail can be a powerful new tool in improving communication between patients and doctors, according to one expert.

　　“Using the Internet, doctors can answer more questions from more patients in a shorter time,” writes dr. Dada Pal, a famous doctor in Manchester, UK.

　　According to Pal, nearly forty percent of American patients say they have used e-mail to communicate with a doctor.

　　He notes, however, that although patients have such interest, only up to two percent of doctors in the United States offer e-mail service.

　　Using e-mail, doctors can make sure of their advice and point, patient to patient information materials and other resources on the Internet. It's said that more than ten thousand health-oriented websites already exist now.

　　However, some people worry that widespread use of medical e-mail might set up two kinds of care－one for Internet “haves” and another for the “have-nots”.

　　But Pal points out that “by the year 2000 nearly every library will offer (Internet and e-mail) services in the United States, allowing even low-income patients to use such means.” Pal also talks about other possible barriers to the acceptance of medical e-mail.

　　“Doctors may be unwilling to offer e-mail services for fear of increasing workload and uncertainty about payment for the time they spent,” he explains, and patients may worry that their medical information might be read by others. “But these problems can all be solved,” he adds.

　　E-mail may well help us a lot in health care, Pal concludes. “Patients can get in normal clinics,” he points out, “and they might find communication on the information superhighway less fearful, than face-to-face dialogues with their doctors.”
