There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer interested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill. There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it or how much priority it must be given over general language development and writing ability. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling?If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher’s interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to “play safe”. He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That’s why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience: “This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible.” It may have been a sharp criticism of the pupil’s technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay, which contained some beautiful expressions of the child’s deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centered on the child’s ideas, an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.1. Teachers differ in their opinions about ________.2. The expression “play safe” probably means “________”.3. Teachers encourage the use of dictionaries so that ________.4. The writer seems to think that the teacher’s judgment on that sensitive piece of writing is ________.5. The major point discussed in the passage is ________.

Many college students choose a major simply because it interests them. Others decide on a major that will guide them toward a specific career. But what if you want to do more?Depending on your school, you may have more options than you think. Adding a minor or a double or dual major can enhance your academic experience and give you an advantage when job-searching after graduation.Majors and MinorsIf you’re considering doing more than one major, you may be able to choose from several options.The least demanding option is to supplement your major with a minor in another field. A minor usually entails half the number of courses as a major. It’s a mini-version of the major, designed to give you a solid introduction to the field. A minor can broaden your knowledge and help you structure your studies. If you’re wondering what electives to take, a minor can help focus your course work.The more rigorous options include double majors and dual majors. The exact definition of either choice varies from school to school, but typically a dual major consists of two related and integrated majors that complement each other. Classes overlap between the majors, meaning fewer classes are required than with a typical double major, so it’s easier to finish within your four college years.A double major means you take on two separate majors and receive two degrees. Depending on how much overlap there is between the two majors, this option can be extremely demanding. And if you don’t decide on a double major right away, you might end up needing an extra semester or two to complete your requirements.Some schools limit the extent to which you can double up, others offer you a variety of options. And depending on your school’s organizational structure and policies you may not be able to combine majors “across colleges”—that is, from two different divisions of the university or college.1. What do college students consider when choosing their majors?2. Which of the following is not mentioned in this passage?3. Why is adding a minor the least demanding option?4. Which is not true about a typical dual major?5. What makes a double major sometimes extremely demanding?

New and bizarre crimes have come into being with the development of computer technology. The new technology offers it unlimited opportunities, such as data crimes, theft of services, property-related crimes, industrial sabotage, politically related sabotage, vandalism, crimes against the individual and financially related crimes.Theft of data, or data crime, is usually the theft or copying of valuable computer program. Buyers for stolen programs may range from a firm’s competitors to foreign nations. A competitor sabotages a company’s computer system to destroy or cripple the firm’s operational ability. This computer sabotage may also be tied to an attempt by affluent investors to acquire the victim firm, after which the group interested in acquiring the firm can easily buy it at a substantially lower price. Criminal groups could also resort to sabotage if the company is a competitor of a business owned or controlled by organized crime. Politically motivated sabotage is on the increase. Several attempts have already been made to destroy computer facility at an air force base. A university computer facility involved in national defense work suffered more than $2 million in damages as a result of a bombing.Computer vulnerability has been proved. One study concluded that neither government nor private computer systems are adequately protected against sabotage. Organized criminal syndicates have shown their willingness to work with politically motivated groups. Investigators have uncovered evidence of cooperation between criminal groups and foreign governments. Computers are used in hospital life-support system, in laboratories, and in major surgery. Criminals could easily tum these computes into tools of devastation. By sabotaging the computer of a life-support system, criminals could kill an individual as easily as they had used a gun. By manipulating a computer, they could guide awesome tools of terror against large urban centers. Cities and nations could become hostages.Homicide could take a new form. The computer may become the hit man of the twentieth century. The computer opens vast areas of crime to organized criminal groups, both national and international. It calls on them to pool their resources and increase their cooperative efforts, because many of these crimes are too complex for one group to handle, especially those requiting a vast network of fences. Although criminals have adapted to computer technology, law enforcement has not. Many still think in terms of traditional criminology.1. What does “data crime” refer to?2. According to the passage, which of the following is not the intention of damaging a company’s computer system?3. Which of the following statements is not true?4. What does the author say about killing an individual in hospital?5. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
