23、Mr Gao, a teacher from China, asked his students to hand in their homework through a QR code (二维码). “We spent an hour or two in class learning how to generate the codes, and in the end everything gets easier,” said Gao. “When students finish their homework, they keep it on WeChat (微信). Then, each student makes his own QR code and gives it to me. So I can check their work everywhere using my computer or mobile phone.
The QR codes can be sent to Mr Gao by email, QQ and WeChat. When Gao scans (扫描) his students' QR codes, their homework appears on his phone. He finds that their homework becomes more creative, with many pictures, music and even videos.
Gao's students like the new way and think it is interesting. “We are living in the information age. Many students like to work with computers, which makes learning more fun.” said Taotao, a student of Gao’s.
“The paper is not easy to keep, but the code is easy to keep and share.” Gao said. “It is worth trying to use new technology in education. Education itself is a kind of creation. I don't want my students to fall behind the times.”
However, some parents are worried. They are afraid that their children will spend too much time on computers and less time communicating with teachers. But in fact, it's unnecessary. Students still need to look up information in books and write it down when they do their homework. They only use the code when they hand in their work, which doesn't take them too much time. Also for teachers, it allows them to check the students work at any time. And it's also an easy way to share homework with other students.

24、When I was in fourth grade, I worked part-time as a paperboy. Mrs. Stanley was one of my customers. She’d watch me coming down her street, and by the time I’d biked up to her doorstep, there’d be a cold drink waiting. I’d sit and drink while she talked.
Mrs. Stanley talked mostly about her dead husband, “Mr. Stanley and I went shopping this morning.” she’d say. The first time she said that, soda(汽水) went up my nose.
I told my father how Mrs. Stanley talked as if Mr. Stanley were still alive. Dad said she was probably lonely, and that I ought to sit and listen and nod my head and smile, and maybe she’d work it out of her system. So that’s what I did, and it turned out Dad was right. After a while she seemed content to leave her husband over at the cemetery(墓地).
I finally quit delivering newspapers and didn’t see Mrs. Stanley for several years. Then we crossed paths at a church fund-raiser(募捐活动). She was spooning mashed potatoes and looking happy. Four years before, she’d had to offer her paperboy a drink to have someone to talk with. Now she had friends. Her husband was gone, but life went on.
I live in the city now, and my paperboy is a lady named Edna with three kids. She asks me how I’m doing. When I don’t say “fine”, she sticks around to hear my problems. She’s lived in the city most of her life, but she knows about community. Community isn’t so much a place as it is a state of mind. You find it whenever people ask how you’re doing because they care, and not because they’re getting paid to do so. Sometimes it’s good to just smile, nod your head and listen.

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
It was a cold winter morning in Orange County, Florida when a large group of people boarded Timmy’s bus. Due to the heavy snowfall, almost everyone at the bus stop had rushed inside to avoid the cold, making the bus more crowded than ever.
When driving, Timmy was surprised to hear the passengers arguing. “I wonder how his mother raised him. Can’t he see that the poor lady is in trouble? She’s been standing for so long!” Timmy heard a woman complain loudly. When he looked in the mirror, he noticed a woman, probably in her late twenties, standing beside an old woman and casting a stern (严厉的) look at a window seat.
Timmy noticed the passenger sitting on the seat was Jonathan, the 10-year-old boy who was a frequent passenger on his bus. Jonathan sat quietly on his seat, with his eyes wide open, staring at the passengers criticizing him. But the boy didn’t speak a single word, which annoyed the passengers even more.
“Well,” the old woman finally spoke up, “I am really sorry for the young child. I don’t mind standing here, but I’m struck by how he’s listening to everything we’re saying to him while acting as if he doesn’t understanding anything.” For safe driving, Timmy didn’t say anything. He continued driving until next stop, at which he slowly rose from his seat, picked up a pair of crutches (拐杖), and proceeded to Jonathan’s seat. He smiled at the boy and told him that he had arrived at the destination in sign language. Jonathan returned his smile and gestured a thank you. He then exited the bus using the crutches.
After Jonathan had left, Timmy looked around the passengers.
