• 2．I had heard about VR being used in the classroom but didn't think I'd ever try it.I actually got a VR headset（耳機） as a New Year present from my friend and started searching for apps online to see whether it could be useful in my classroom.I soon found a free app through Google Cardboard and knew I had a lesson!
     To use VR in the classroom，you need two things：a smartphone that can download the app or video，and a headset.To find the actual videos we'd be watching，I searched through free VR apps like Orbulus，Trench Experience VR and Cardboard.I also found hundreds of videos on YouTube.The key is to find videos made with the 360 cameras.While they don't give the kids a 3-D experience like the apps， they are still amazingly immersive（沉浸式虛擬現(xiàn)實的） when viewed through the headsets.
     So far we've had three lessons.I first used the headsets with my seventh grade U.S.History class.The Trench app allows students to "walk" through a trench（戰(zhàn)壕） during World War I and learn about many of the tools used during that time.My second activity was working with the sixth grade Geography class.They used the headsets strictly as viewers to watch a 360 video taking them through a rocky landscape.My final activity was the most interesting one，according to the reactions（反應） of my eighth grade Civics students.I was able to find a White House 360 tour that was made a few years ago.
     For the rest of this year，I plan to continue using apps and 360 videos in my classes.Next year I'm going to write to my boss asking for a 360 video camera so that I can begin to create my own VR field trips for the students.
  
  （1）When did the author get the idea of trying VR in her classroom？

  
  A．When she was searching for apps online.
  B．After she received a VR headset as a gift.
  C．When she was having a conversation with her friend.
  D．After she heard about VR being used in the classroom.
  （2）What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 2 refer to？

  
  A．The kids.
  B．The apps.
  C．The videos.
  D．The headsets.
  （3）Which VR lesson was the most popular one among students？

  
  A．The Civics lesson.
  B．The Science lesson.
  C．The Geography lesson.
  D．The U.S.History lesson.
  （4）What will the author do next year？

  
  A．Buy a 360 video camera.
  B．Create 360 videos by herself.
  C．Take her students on more field trips.
  D．Try new teaching methods in her classes.

• 3．Your chair is your enemy.
  It doesn't matter if you go running every morning，or you're a regular at the gym.If you spend most of the rest of the day sitting，you are putting yourself at increased chance of heart disease，cancers and an early death.In other words，even if you exercise energetically，sitting for long periods is bad for you.
  So what's wrong with sitting？One is that sitting is one of the most passive things you can do.You burn more energy by chewing gum than you do sitting still in a chair.Compared to sitting，standing in one place is hard work.To stand，you have to tense your leg muscles，and the muscles of your back and shoulders.While standing，you often change from leg to leg.All of this burns energy.
  For many people，weight gain is a matter of slow increase.Thus，a little more time on your feet today and tomorrow can easily make the difference between remaining thin and getting fat.So part of the problem with sitting a lot is that you don't use as much energy as those who spend more time on their feet. This makes it easier to gain weight，and makes you more likely to suffer from the health problems that fatness often brings.
  Some people have advanced solutions：replace your sit-down desk with a stand-up desk.Make sure that your television can only operate if you are practising on an exercise bike.Replace your office chair with a therapy （治療） ball：this too uses more muscles，and more energy，than a normal chair，because you have to support your back and work to keep balanced.But whatever you choose，know this.It is clear：be careful of your chair.
  
  （1）The main purpose of writing this passage is to

  .
  A．suggest sitting less
  B．advise exercising often
  C．avoid gaining weight
  D．escape standing more
  （2）From this passage，we know that

  .
  A．standing burns nearly as much energy as sitting still does
  B．taking exercise regularly but sitting more will do good
  C．less exercise will reduce the chance of having disease
  D．energy-burning activities will help you enjoy good health
  （3）The underlined word "This" in paragraph 4 refers to "

  ".
  A．Gaining weight
  B．Burning energy
  C．Sitting too much
  D．Standing more
  （4）A therapy ball is mentioned in the last paragraph to

  .
  A．tell us to walk while working in the office
  B．suggest a way to settle the sitting problem
  C．support our back and keep us balanced
  D．provide a better cure for our backache
