They had never seen the province of Ontario laid out like that before. They stared at the map, asking about all the towns, parks, and other landmarks we'd visited, and I pointed them out on the map. Digital maps and GPS are modern wonders that have gotten me out of many confusing places,but paper maps still have a role to play in our lives. Most of us adults learned to read them out of necessity, but it's up to us to pass on that skill to children whose need may not be so obvious, but who still will benefit from it. As Trevor Muir wrote in an article on this topic,"When kids learn how to create and use paper maps, they are doing more than just learning how to get around. They are actually developing a fundamental skill that they will use for the rest of their lives. Map reading skills still belong in today's classroom." As a child,I had National Geographic Maps taped to my bedroom walls. This aroused my curiosity and imagination about those places and thus made me eager to remember my geography and history lessons because they were tied to places I'd "seen". Even now as a mother of four, I've also spared time to travel to many of the countries whose maps I studied as a child. Additionally,in this fast-changing world, unexpected events can rapidly influence one's usual way of life. When GPS satellites or Internet connections are affected, this old-fashioned skill can get you out of a mess without requiring a smartphone. Last but not least, paper maps arouse big picture thinking, showing kids that there's a much bigger world out there and helping to direct them within it. So, now is a good time to pull out those dusty old maps and lay them on the kitchen table. 1. How did the children react when they were given the paper map? A. They showed great curiosity. B. They seemed totally confused. C. They found it less convenient than GPS. D. They refused to read it without hesitation. 2. What is Trevor Muir's attitude towards teaching paper map reading skills to kids? A. Neutral. B. Negative. C. Doubtful. D. Supportive. 3. Which of the following will the author agree with? A. Paper maps are already out of date. B. Internet connections are always reliable. C. Paper maps provide kids with a grand vision. D. GPS will sooner or later replace paper maps. 4. Which would be the best title for the text? A. Time to Teach Kids to Read Paper Maps B. How to Teach Kids to Survive in the Wild C. How to Teach Kids to Recognize Strange Places D. Time to Encourage Kids to Explore a Real World 四、 完形填空 When I was little and something difficult happened,I would look to my mother for comfort and guidance.
