【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】
ad a book for 15minutes every single day for a month. Let me explain a bit by telling you where the challenge came from. I have many things in mon with my dad, like music taste and sense of humor, but sadly reading isn39。t one of them. I can happily spend a whole day with a book, but my dad can39。t read a book for longer than about 5 minutes. He reads s, websites and papers for work, but not books. He39。s busy, so I think sitting down to read for just 15 minutes a day is a good way to relax and to introduce him to reading. My dad is not the only person who avoids books. I know lots of people would rather relax on their puters or in front of the TV. Everyone is different and has their own interests, but I think there are lots of benefits to reading, which screen﹣based activities don39。t have. Firstly, it39。s better for your eyes. Looking at screens can be very stressful for your eye muscles, and clearly you should avoid looking at screens for an hour before bed, to get a good night39。s sleep. One thing I personally love reading, is being transported to another world﹣I often forget the time or things around me! Reading is a great way to switch off before you go to bed, because you think more about the world of the book, rather than the real world, so you can truly relax. I know you can be transported to a different world in a film or a TV show, but I think books do it better. I also enjoy hearing what people are doing and finding out what they think. Reading gives me the chance to get to know hundreds of new people! It also teaches you to see things from other people39。s point of view, and understand other people39。s decisions or opinions. With a book, you can hear everything a character is thinking or feeling﹣you really can be inside someone else39。s head! So give it a go! Take 15 minutes when you are waking up, going to bed, eating lunch, or having a coffee. If you read a lot, why not try 15 minutes of an English book, or pass the challenge on to someone else?

When students started classes on Monday, they were zipping to an app on their tablets or laptops and bad instant access to all 40 texts in the Stepinac curriculum (課程). Dennis Lauro, director of an information center which provides technical support to public schools in New York, said neither he nor his colleagues were aware of a similar digital effort in a public school setting. This is the wave of the future. Lauro said. I39。m not surprised that a private school would beat the public schools to it. They have the ability to just do it. There is so much politics involved in public schools, when it es to a move like that, needing approval from boards and mittees. For Tom Collins, Stepinac39。s president, the mitment to digital source material was not so difficult a decision. In the past, students39。 families had to spend up to $ 700 a year on textbooks. This year — after the onetime purchase of a tablet or laptop — families only need to pay $ 150. Using the digital library is almost as easy as opening a new book. A student can instantly lap into a digital book and open a map of Egypt or a speech by President John F. Kennedy. A teacher can show a page from a digital book on a whiteboard at the front of the class or send students a link to a particular math problem with notes added in. The first few weeks may bring some challenges. Stepinac officials expect some parental disfort over dropping concrete books. They recognize there may be technical faults at first. And they will have to encourage students to leave spaceeating photos and music off their tablets — and to keep their tablets charged. (1)What is going on in Stepinac?
