The idea of living on the moon is no long science fiction. However, there will be drawbacks to live there as well as advantage.
On the positive side, people will be able to escape from the crowding cities, but will have clear views of the earth and stars.
On the other hand, the moon is a unfriendly place for humans. First of all, people will have to wear special suits and if their equipment fails, it will probably die. Secondly, they will have to get used to be weightless. Finally, they’ll probably miss the plants and wildlife that exists on the earth.
In all, the moon might be an ideal place where humans take over a holiday or scientists carry out researches, but not a place for ordinary people to live all the time.

Nowadays along with the booming of computer science, computers are widely used here and there. People even can find computers in most classrooms. While teachers remain more or less the same, computers are doubling in speed and capability every four years. 1. As far as I am concerned, teachers still play a major role and are still of great importance.
2. However advanced they may be, computers are nothing more than human inventions programmed to perform certain tasks.
They are unable to deal with students with different background. Needless to say, a classroom is a place where individual attention and creativity matter most. Therefore, computers are no better than other tools used by teachers and couldn’t possibly make the roles played by them weaker.
In terms of accuracy and the amount of information, computers outshine humans. 3. Indeed, a good teacher organizes and inspires the students.
Besides, the interaction between students and teachers is vital for the learning. According to most education authorities, real learning occurs during the discussion and sharing of ideas with one’s teacher and classmates. Moreover, a teacher is there to monitor every slight change in students’ attitude, to respond to and encourage them whenever they show signs of frustration and impatience. 4.
Despite the increasing presence of computers inside classrooms, teachers are just as essential, if not more so, as instructors were in the past. 5.
A. It’s time that teachers should develop themselves.
B. Without this kind of interaction, education is unimaginable.
C. Advanced as computers may be, some teachers are less impatient.
D. But to make a good teacher means far more than being an encyclopedia (百科全书).
E. People can’t help wondering whether teachers are as important as they once were.
F. Some drawbacks make it impossible for computers to replace teachers in classrooms.
G. It is well known that computers are better at repetitive work but incapable of creative thinking.
Connecting with people has become so much easier with advancing technology. Tasks that once required a postage stamp or carrier pigeon are now as simple as tapping a name or even a face on your screen, and you’re connected. But also easier is unconsciously getting caught up in a dilemma by violating certain new rules for communicating. A big one for some: Don’t call until you’ve texted to confirm it’s OK to call. But that’s just the beginning.
“I’m usually pretty mild and not much bothers me,” said Mark Angielle, a 29-year-old office manager from White Plains, New York. But the one thing that he hates more than anything else in life is the terrible one-word message — “K.” “At the very least reply with, Got it.” he said “At least give me a few words here. You’re not that busy.”
There are hundreds, perhaps even thousands, of others who have taken Lo social media to express their distaste for people who don’t follow the unwritten rules of digital communication.
“These rules are simply a new display of a phenomenon we’ve seen in the past,” said James Ivory, professor of communication a Virginia Tech. In the same way that generations and small groups of friends have their own slang and customs, internet culture has given birth to technology-dependent beings that have their own unique set of routine.
But not everyone gets the point. Unlike language, digital communication can be filled with ambiguous clues (线索、迹象) that the person on the other end of the call, text or email may or may not easily understand.
“As soon as people aren’t talking face to face, the first thing that gets lost is some of the richness of the body language,” Ivory said, “People immediately fill that gap by using emoji (表情符号) to sum up a feeling in seconds.
“There's great potential for danger,” Ivory warned. “What's considered polite in one form might be inappropriate or rude in another occasion.”
