Part one : Reading (15 points)

Read the text carefully then do the following activities.

Stress is an individual's response to change in circumstance or to a threatening situation. It can be viewed as

a personal reaction to an external event/demand like writing an exam or to an internal state of mind like
worrying about an exam. Of interest is the fact that stress tends to increase with the prospect of not being able
to cope with the situation at hand.
For most people, stress is viewed as a negative concept. However, stress can spur us on to achieve our best.
For example, athletes often break world records under the stress and pressure of the Olympics. A moderate
amount of stress helps to motivate us to write a term paper or prepare for an exam, and in this case, is positive
and necessary. Therefore, a certain amount of stress is desirable but too much is detrimental.
Today's demands and pressures guarantee that all human beings will experience stress. Stress is simply a by-
product of life. The encouraging part of this picture is that we can learn how to control or manage "excess"
stress. In fact, a belief in our ability to be able to handle stress often times serves to decrease stress levels.
Stressors are those changes in one's life or threatening situations referred to above. As a student, you will
likely encounter a number of situations/events which will result in stress. You are reminded that not everyone
responds to stressors in the same way because of differences in perception (differences in the meaning given to
the situation/event by an individual).

Can Technology Alone Improve Student Learning?

Many experts in education have different viewpoints on this subject. The only apparent thing is the fact
that technology plays and will continue to play an important role in teaching and learning. It seems that in some
time it can even replace the personality of a teacher, who knows what may happen in future?
Obviously, modern people have become dependent upon technology. It develops so rapidly that it seems
in a couple of years we will fly to other planets and have robots to serve and work for us. The same thing
happens in the modern classrooms, which are gradually transformed into technological labs. Today, the
diversity of devices appearing in the classroom are impressive. According to the statistical data, over 250
million of the US population own mobile phones and 86% of them have smart phones. Over 60% of all EU
residents possess phones and about 15% of them mention to have two devices. Interestingly, a great number of
those users are kids, teenagers, and students. Other interesting figures say that 56% of US students use either
their laptops or desktop computers in the classroom regularly. The same number of learners wishes their
instructors to use more different devices in learning. Over 50% of students have recently taken online courses
and 92% of students show interest in personalized learning and online degrees. Doesn’t that mean that a great
shift has already taken place in education due to technology?
Though it may seem that students use technology only for fun, this viewpoint is far from being
truthful. Even a simple online search and browsing the search results are beneficial for brain work, let alone
hundreds of other things you can do with a laptop or mobile phone in your hands. Undoubtedly, students do
not refer modern technology entirely to educational devices, but still, they agree that technology can and must
be used in learning.
