There was a time when parents who wanted an educational prent for their children would buy a typewriter, a globe or an encyclopedia t.
Now tho 1 em hopelessly old-fashioned, this Christmas, there were a lot of 2 computers under the tree. 3 **puters are their key to success, parents are also frantically insisting that children 4 taught to u them on school as early as possible.
The problem for schools is that when it 5 computers, parents don"t always know best. Many schools are 6 parental impatience and are purchasing hardware without 7 educational planning so they can say, "OK, we"ve moved into **puter age. " Teachers 8 themlves caught in the middle of the problem—between parent pressure and 9 educational decisions.
Educators do not even agree 10 **puters should be ud. A lot of money is going **puterized educational materials 11 rearch has shown can be taught 12 with pencil and paper. Even tho who believe that all children should 13 to computers warn of potential 14 to the very young.
The temptation remains strong largely becau young children 15 so well to computers. First graders have been 16 willing to work for two hours on math skills. Some have an attention span of 20 minutes.

Passage 1
如何提高自己的口才UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan visited the troubled Darfur region of western Sudan Thursday to consider ways to end the humanitarian crisis. More than a million people have been displaced in Darfur becau of violence that human rights groups blame on government-backed militias.
Kofi Annan spoke with tribal and women leaders about the problems facing refugees in a camp called Zam-Zam, outside the city of E1-Feshir. The leaders said they were afraid to return home becau of possible attacks by the Janjaweed militias. But overall, they said, aid groups were looking after them relatively well in the camp.
From there, the cretary-general and his delegation went to a camp just 30 minutes away where aid workers said the curity and living situation was more desperate. But" the refugees were nowhere to be found. U.N. officials said some 4, 000 refugees, called internally displaced persons, or IDPs, had been in the camp the night before but they had been moved by Sudane authorities. Jan Egeland, the U. N. "s undercretary-general of humanitarian affairs, said the U.N. did not appreciate the authorities" actions. "But it was in our program actually to show the cretary-general and the cretary-general wanted to e how IDPs live when there are no rvices" ,"And this was such a place."
Mr. Egeland was then risked ff this was a deliberate ploy by Sudane authorities. "I"m sure it has happened before and I"m sure it will happen again. "The refugees moved to another camp are among the one million people in Darfur driven from their homes by Janjaweed militias.
Human rights groups charge that the ethnic-Arab militias have been ud by the government to terrorize the Darfur"s civilian population, which is ethnic-African, as part of
efforts to put down an armed rebellion. Sudane authorities deny supporting the Janjaweed and say they are working to disarm them. Until recently, they allowed little access to the region by aid workers.
The conflict has given ri to what the U.N. calls the world"s worst humanitarian crisis today. Refugees face hunger, epidemics (传染病)and continued attacks in camps in Darfur or over the border in Chad. From Darfur, Mr. Annan flew to Chad"s capital, Ndjamena, for more discussions on the Darfur crisis. He is expected to return to Sudan"s capital, Khartoum, Friday.
