In a small school on the South Side of Chicago, 40 children between the ages of five and six sit quietly learning in a classroom. In 1 of each of them is a computer running software called Reading Eggs. Some are reading a short story, others 2 sentences with words they are learning. As they complete each task they move through a cartoon map that shows how far they have 3 in reading and writing. Along the way they collect eggs which they can use to buy objects in the game, such as items to 4 their avatar's apartment. Now and then a child will be taken 5 for scheduled reading periods with one of the two monitoring teachers. The director says this sort of teaching, blending software with human 6 , helps her pupils learn faster. It also allows teachers at this school to spend more time teaching and less time 7 written work and leading pupils through dull drills of words and numbers. The idea that technology can revolutionize (彻底改变;使革命化) education is not new. In the 20th century almost every new 8 was supposed to have big implications for schools. In many classrooms, computers have been used to improve 9 and keep pupils engaged But they did not transform learning in the way their boosters predicted. It is wise, therefore, to be skeptical about the claims made for the current wave of innovation. Yet there are also 10 to believe that a profound shift is occurring.A) intervention F) ways K) efficiencyB) building G) furnish L) progressedC) aside H) front M) reasonsD) invention I) build N) backE) method J) marking O) doing
