As a young girl I grew up on books. My fifth-grade teacher, Jody Delay, facilitated (促进) that love of books. Every day during the fifth grade I walked into a room with one wall completely lined with books. Mrs Delay had over one thousand books in her classroom.

She started the year off saying that she might give a book to any of us who showed such great interest in it. She had given a book to a student a few years before and I wanted to be presented with a book very much. So I checked out The Thief Lord by Cornelia Funke frequently. She never gave me the book, but I developed a deep love for Ms Cornelia’s stories. I refused to watch the movie on principle.

My mom had requirements about what I was allowed to do according to what we believed. With Mrs Delay, I wouldn’t have to read anything that made my mom uncomfortable. I would pick up a book, look at it and consider it, and if it didn’t fit, she would gently take it away from my hands, explain to me that it wasn’t suitable and then point me in the direction of a better book.

What really made the difference in how I saw Mrs Delay was a spring break. I borrowed a book a day from her during schooldays, so I didn’t know what I would do if I was left without any new books for a week. Mrs Delay sent me home with a pile of books bigger than I was. It seemed to go on forever. I think I only managed to read about half, but I lied and told her that I read every one. The last thing I wanted to do was to have her be disappointed in me.

Every time I think about what made me into the book-lover that I am, I think back to that spring break, and I laugh.

24. What does the author mean when she wrote “I grew up on books”?

A. She had many books of her own. B. She had a great interest in reading. C. There were many books in her family. D. She was born into a bookseller’s family. 25. After reading The Thief Lord, the author ______.

A. became interested in its writer’s works B. had a better understanding of Mrs Delay

C. was presented with the book by Mrs Delay D. went to watch the movie with the same name

26. When the author was together with Mrs Delay, her mother might feel ______.

A. disappointed B. embarrassed C. relieved D. worried

27. Why did the author lie about how many books she had read during a spring break?

A. She was unable to finish all those books at all. B. She didn’t want to make Mrs Delay feel unhappy. C. She wanted to escape punishment from Mrs Delay. D. She was afraid Mrs Delay wouldn’t lend books to her.

As smart devices continue to fill people’s daily life, the debate over their place in the classroom has grown increasingly. Now, a study conducted at the United States Military Academy just might put an end to it. In a recent investigation, researchers found that students who were permitted to use laptops or tablets in the classroom performed worse than those who did not—and those with higher initial GPAs(平均成绩) were most heavily affected.

While some argue that laptops aid students in note-taking and comprehension, many say that they couldn’t pay attention to the lessons. To get to the bottom of the issue, researchers investigated the effect of laptops and tablets on student performance in a course at a school.

In the study, the class was then divided into two treatment groups. The first treatment group was permitted to use laptops and tablets for purposes relating to their lesson. If the students were obviously distracted, professors could stop them from using the devices. In the second group, students could only use tablets, making the screen easily visible to the professors. When it came time for final exam scores, the researchers found that using a laptop
