ildren at home and from the children who know me as their teacher---just to put a few words down on paper. Many times I've wanted to write for myself, for other women, for my parents, for my husband, and especially for my children. I would have liked to leave a legacy (遗产) of words explaining what it has meant to have twins. One reason there is not a great deal written about being a mother of a new baby is that there is seldom a moment to think of anything else but the baby's needs.

With twins, I did not have a spare hand to write with.

Before my twins were born, my days were long but I had nothing to write about. After the twins' birth I did have something to write about, but I found myself facing not a pen or paper but milk bottles.

During some nights, friends would visit. They would leave at 11 pm, heading for bed, and for us the night was only just beginning. With twins, there was really no night. Each feeding lasted a long time. At 1:00 am, each of them would begin crying with hunger. At 4:00 am, when I finally put them down, I headed for the kitchen and lighted a cigarette. I hadn't smoked for almost a year, but I felt I'd never needed it more. I was so sleepy and so tired that I didn't care.

Two years have passed since then and we've managed to live through it all. My days are still very full and even now there isn't one evening when I put the twins down for the night that I don't breathe a sigh of relief. At last a little time for myself.

What does the writer mainly write about？

A．Her role as a wife.

B．Her work as a writer.

C．Her role as a teacher.

D．Her experience as a mother.

thousands of images. It's not surprising that they are among the nation's most popular entertainment devices. Now, a handful of U. S. colleges and universities are using them as education devices.

That chance to listen as many times as necessary makes a difference. Back in the days when students came to class, they hear what the teacher says. They rely on the notes that they take away from it and they type it. With the lectures on iPods and on-line discussion forums when requested by students, pupils grasp the material more quickly.

And there may be additional benefits for shy students. They actually begin to shine in an on-line environment. in the online world, they're able to create thoughts, write them down, and post them to class where they can be a full participant.

According to some expert, this technology is d0ing more than giving students the flexibility to listen and learn anytime, anywhere; instead it's empowering them as education consumers, and colleges and universities are paying attention. Nowadays, they need to focus on the student experience and make the entire teaching experience not about the professor giving their lectures. It's about how can schools reach out to the students in a way that meets their needs, since so many of today's students are not "traditional learners" any more.

According to the passage, what is applied in teaching today？

A．Music.

B．Image.

C．Entertainment.

D．Digital devices.

ng I can do to help you？

M: Well, I've got to write a paper about Hollywood in the 30s and 40s, and I'm really struggling. There are hundreds of books, and I just don't know where to begin(23).

W: Your topic sounds pretty big. Why don't you narrow it down(24) to something like... uh... the history of the studios during that time？

M: You know, I was thinking about doing that, but more that 30 books came up when I typed in "movie studios".

W: You could cut that down even further by listing the specific years you want Try adding "1930s" or "1940s" or maybe "Golden Age".

M: "Golden Age" is a good idea. Let me type that in... Hey, look, just 6 books this time. That's a lot better.

W: Oh... another thing you might consider... have you tried looking for any magazine or newspaper articles？

M: No, I've only been searching for books.

W: Well, you can look up magazine articles in the Reader's Guide to Periodical Literature (25). And we do have the Los Angeles, Times available over there. You might go through their indexes to see if there's anything you want.

M: Okay, I think I'll get started with these books and then I'll go over the magazines.

W: If you need any help, I'll be over at the Reference Desk.

M: Great, thanks a lot.
