Everywhere in the world there are different ways of behaving.When we meet someone,everything we say and do expresses our cultural background.So if you want to get on with someone from another culture,it helps to understand something about these differences.

13.Using iPads to Make Learning Fun
     Paper,pencil,whiteboard,textbook are the tools you need if you want to go to school.But recently,you can add another one to the list:an iPad.
     Because the popular Apple tablet is not only useful for searching the Internet and watching videos,
but it is also being used to make learning fun.
     Scientists now know that we learn better when we are enjoying ourselves,so recently software developers have made iPad applications(應(yīng)用程序) that look like video games,but have strong educational
 content.One of the best examples of this new form of teaching application is  Futaba,game in which up 
to four children try to recognize a spinning(旋轉(zhuǎn)的)object,and then identify what it is.The game can be used to teach English,math,foreign languages,or just about anything,and students love it.Teachers can even make their own questions.The important thing is that children enjoy the game,and don't even realize how much they are learning!

     So the next time you have to choose between making your child study or letting them play game,just 
remember--they could do both at the same time!

61.What can be added to the school thing list according to the passage?A

D.桌子
63.Futaba isC.
A.a(chǎn)n old kind of classroom
B.a(chǎn) new outdoor activity
C.a(chǎn) new educational application
D.a(chǎn) very old tool of teaching
64.How many children can take part in one Futaba game at a time?D
A.7.
B.6.
C.5.
