Unable to see far. he accidentally turned off (使改变方向) the path. Before he knew it. Nicholas was lost. all alone! He didn't have food. water. a phone or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute.
Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried to calm down. He thought about all the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.

two days stuck in the snow. Nicholas was saved.

his way out.

More and more people believe that technologies are great for learning. Today, teaching tools like iPads are used in a lot of courses, i 81 language, history and science.
Many teachers are supporters of using iPads in language learning. They say that students now have much more time for discussion in the classroom. Instead of spending valuable class time listening to texts or watching teaching videos. students can do this on their own and come to class prepared for discussion.
The teachers also say that iPads allow students to learn at their own pace. Some students might listen to a dialogue only once and understand it. so they can save time for doing other things. Other students. however. might need to listen to the same dialogue again and again to understand it. Using iPads is especially h 82 to the students who are learning a language at different paces.
The students who are using the new tool in some courses are also happy. They believe that using iPads is a more enjoyable way to learn(like listening to stories and watching movies). The class has become much more interesting and creative.
There are other advantages for students. By using iPads, they can pay more attention to the material and learn more. Teaching notes are s 83 in their iPads and are easy to find. Some students spend more time studying now. 'I can listen to my language material or watch teaching videos on the bus, instead of having to wait till I get home.' a student explained.
But many adults c 84 that technologies like iPads are doing harm to students. They worry that students might use iPads to download teaching notes and use them to cheat during exams. Some believe that iPads may separate students from each other. If a student spends more time watching videos on an iPad. he will have f 85 chances to have face-to-face communication with others.
However. technologies are a 86 _ a part of most students' day-to-day lives. As for cheating,
teachers can ask students to hand in their iPads when they take exams. Education needs to make c 87 with the times as technology is playing an important part. We should look forward to a wonderful future when iPads and other technologies can add a lot to the classroom.
D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）(12分)
I will never forget the tenth summer of childhood with my grandfather in western Norway on the mountain farm where my mother was born. As a boy. I always thought people simply bought whatever they needed. Whether Grandfather knew this. I didn't know. One day he said.
'Come. I have something for you.'
I followed him to a workroom. 'You should have a toy boat. You can sail
it at Storvassdal.' he said. 'Great,' I thought. looking around for the boat. But
there was none
Grandfather pointed to a block of wood. ‘The boat is in there.' he said.
Then he handed me some tools and showed me how to use them properly. 'It'll be a fine boat. and you'll make it with your own hands.' he said. 'NO one can give you what you do for yourself.' The words rang in my head as l worked. The boat was finished. It wasn't much to look at, but l was proud. Then I sailed it at Storvassdal.
We had to return to America. 'You cannot bring that boat home with you,' my mother said. We had too much baggage. Feeling sad, I hid my boat under a big rock at Storvassdal.
I said good-bye to Grandfather, not knowing I would never see him again.
In 1964,1 went to Storvassdal with my parents and my wife and children. To my surprise, for 34 years my treasure stayed here, waiting for my return. I felt we three were together again although my grandfather had died 22 years before.
I carved（雕刻）’1930' and '1964' on its side and put it back
I returned to the lake in 1968. 1971. 1977 and 1988. Each time l had the boat and carved the year, my grandfather seemed near
My last trip to Storvassdal was in 1991. I brought my granddaughters: Catherine. 13; Claire. 12. I hoped they would understand the importance of the little boat and its simple message. At Storvassdal, Claire said softly, 'Grandpa, someday I'II come back.' she added. 'And I'll bring my children.'
