It’s true that ur life has becme better because f the rapid develpment f technlgy.Fr example, farmers 1 d all the farm wrk by hand,nw they use mdern machines instead . And it seems that we can g 2 we want arund the wrld just with a smart phne in hand. As students, yu may feel that ur classes becme very 3 because f seew and the whitebard. Technlgy can allw students t learn in mre interesting ways .It can help teachers explain difficult ideas. It can als help students wh have special needs.
Hwever, a recent reprt frm UNESCO (United Natins Educatinal, Scientific, and Cultural Organizatin) 4 that using mre technlgy in classes may nt help as much as many peple believe. The reprt suggests that technlgy shuld be used 5 in schls, and it als advises that smart phnes shuld be kept away 6 classrms.
The gal f the new reprt was t imprve hw technlgy is used in educatin. The reprt says that technlgy can be 7 , but it shuldn't be the imprtant pint. Instead, technlgy shuld be used t supprt learning.“T much 8 n technlgy in educatin usually cmes at a high cst,” the reprt says.
Over the last 20 years, technlgy has been 9 mre and mre in schls. These days, it's cmmn fr students t use cmputers r tablets. In many places, it's nrmal fr students t 10 infrmatin n the Internet rather than using bks.
UNESCO says technlgy can be very distracting (分散注意力的). When students use phnes in class, it can get 11 f their learning. One study was carried ut in 14 cuntries and it shwed that even just having a smart phne nearby can be distracting.And it als says that technlgy changes s fast 12 it's hard t study hw it really affects students. Smetimes, simple tech slutins like radi r TV can have an even bigger 13 than high-tech devices(設備).Even s,UNESCO says that less than 25% f the wrld's cuntries ban phnes in schls.
“Just like anything else,technlgy is a duble edged swrd(雙刃劍). We need t teach children t live 14 with 14 withut technlgy,”said the directr behind the UNESCO reprt.
The reprt suggests the best way t learn is still t wrk 15 with teachers at schl.Wrking with classmates als helps students learn.UNESCO says that mst schls shuld spend mre mney n things like bks, classrms, and teachers.

Celebrating Chinese New Year with Chinese friends can be great, but, because f the cultural gap(間隙), it can be really easy t give the wrng gift fr Chinese New Year. Here are five things yu shuld nt give as a Chinese New Year gift.
Wallet——Lss f frtune
In traditinal Chinese culture, giving a wallet as a gift means giving away all yur mney and yu might lse all yur finances (財源) and luck. Hwever, it is n prblem t give a wallet t yur family member wh already shares yur financial accunts and mney.
Handkerchiefs——Saying gdbye frever
Peple generally give handkerchiefs at the end f a funeral (葬禮).Handkerchiefs are a symbl f saying gdbye frever. Giving smene a gift like this insinuates yu are saying gdbye frever.
Umbrellas——Break up
Umbrellas are a bad idea t give as gifts, because the Chinese wrd fr “umbrella" sunds like the wrd fr “breaking up”. Giving smebdy an umbrella may insinuate that yu feel yur relatinship has fallen apart.
Sharp bjects——Cut ff relatinship
Giving anything sharp, such as a knife r scissrs, is als a bad idea, as it's thught t cut ff the relatinship. A cmmn Chinese saying“ne cut and it is in tw parts" means the end f a relatinship between peple.
Shes——Evil
Shes are a bad idea as a present fr Chinese New Year because the Chinese wrd fr “shes” sunds exactly like a wrd fr bad luck r “evil”. On tp f that, shes are smething that yu step n, and they are cnsidered as dergatry (貶義的) gifts.
