Come Back to Reality
As is shown in the picture, a woman is sitting in front of the computer and trying to add more friends to her Facebook. Just outside the door, some people are eagerly watching her, hoping to make friends with her.
This picture reminds me of many young people who are computer addicts. They lose themselves in the virtual world and if it continues, they will eventually be cut off from reality.
There is no doubt that the virtual world can be exciting, but that's not the reason for us to go too far. Too much time and energy devoted to the Internet can lead to a disaster, mentally and physically. The real world that we live in is what counts.
As for myself, I'll devote myself to worthwhile things in real life. Only in this way can I make my life full and valuable.

What was the difference between education for boys and that for girls 500 years ago?
According to the text, why is there more exposure to English these days?
Boys went to the local grammar school to study the grammar of Latin. Girls received education at home.
Computers, videos and tablets have exposed us more and more to English in the classroom.
Post-reading
Group discussion:
No! There are a lot of benefits of a teacher-centered classroom. It is easier to control the classroom and activities. It also makes sure that students may not be missing key information. Students know where to focus.
Do you think technology will be at the center of tomorrow’s language education? Give your reasons.
Yes, probably! Technology is very useful in meeting all types of students’ needs. It can provide practice and further activities outside the class.
When we talk about the martial art ,Most of us always think about that it is vulgar sport ,in fact it is not right ,the real meaning of martial art is stop fighting ,just like the picture shows. So I hope we can have a more deeply recognization of martial art .
