9、mputer，as it holds all of my writing and thoughts .Despite this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices（设备）and truly communicate with others.On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for
10、 the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the material and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule no laptop, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them
11、were not happy.Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. Theres a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. Theres no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it
12、so I can relate to my students.The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversations and truly engagecomplex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence o
13、n outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas.

18、es in his classCAbout ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier, only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman.There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be ab
19、le to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades(阴影) of green. Sometimes a person cant tell the difference between blue and green. In rare cases an unlucky man sees everything in shades of green-a strange world indeed.Color blindness in human beings is a strange thing to e
20、xplain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones(圆锥细胞)”. These help us see in a bright day and tell the differences between colors.

21、ts have favorite colors. Mosquitoes like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects but a blue lamp will. In a similar way human beings also have favorite colors.

26、etal or plastic, are found on all sorts of clothing. They fasten or connect one piece of clothing to another in order to make sure your clothes dont fall off.To be cute as a button is an old saying, which means to be attractive or sweet, but in a small way.
