Teaching methods keep changing with the times,................... the blackboard of the old days ........... electronic teaching today. Mr. Kam, physics instructor
the Chinese University of Hong Kong, is one of
those who has changed ......... the times.
Mr. Kam employs a two-pronged approach. First, he
uses multimedia teaching materials during lectures.
Second, he arranges internships for undergraduates.
These can take the form of learning assistantships at
the university or teaching assistantships at secondary
schools, and also there’s always the odd science project at the Space Museum.
The initiatives have earned him the Faculty Exemplary
Teaching Award 2020. A CUHK alumnus, he is grateful
for the chance to teach at the university after earning
his doctoral degree there. His teaching position actually represents the fulfillment of a dream, for the status
of professors during his days as a university student
was extremely high and he could meet them only during lectures.
After being a teacher for 10 years, Mr. Kam has found
no apparent regression in the learning abilities of students, but he believes teachers should not just force
knowledge on students - they have to pay careful
attention to their needs too.
The multimedia materials that Mr. Kam uses to illustrate his area of interest includes animation and
video clips. He encourages students to read popular
astronomy magazines and share any note-worthy
content they find. Mr. Kam also gets his undergraduates to help prepare students sitting for physics
papers in public exams or to help out on research
projects undertaken by meteorological officers at the
observatory.
He also arranges for his undergraduates to teach students from other faculties during physics liberal studies classes through talks and star-gazing expeditions.
Such responsibilities serve two greater purposes.
First, undergraduates become even more motivated
to learn when they find out they have to guide other
students. Second, physics students are, unlike arts students, not at their best when called upon to express
themselves. Acting as assistants allows them to practice their skills and build up their self- confidence.
I asked Mr. Kam what he found most satisfying in
teaching.
And the answer is obvious. It is the deep friendship he
forms with students. Mr. Kam says many former students still come back to see him occasionally despite
being busy parents. He draws considerable satisfaction from seeing his students grow into mature adults.
For Mr. Kam, the best teachers will never find extracurricular activity a burden because the good work that is
done today plants the seed for future generations.
Considering the text, analyze the sentences
below and the underlined words.
“Second, he arranges internships for undergraduates. These can take the form of learning assistantships at the university or teaching assistantships at secondary schools, and also there’s always the odd science project at the Space Museum.”
Choose the alternative that has the correct meaning of “Internship”.

Read the excerpt below:
"While the origins of Maya culture remain murky, it's thought to have first emerged between 7000 B.C. and 2000 B.C., when hunter-gatherers abandoned their nomadic habits and created more permanent settlements. Recent analyses suggest that those first settlers came from South America and likely developed their staple food, maize, by 4000 B.C. Maize cultivation dramatically changed the Maya's trajectory, literally fueling the explosion of their society and culture."

Living your Dreams
A university psychologist in Canada believes that people who play video games are more likely to be able to control their dreams. Jayne Gackenbach studied the dreams of regular video gamers and non-gamers and found that people who frequently played video games experienced “lucid” dreams more often.

O texto seguinte servirá de base para responder à questão.
YOUNG MINDS Number of children facing mental
health crisis soars 53% in 4 years − 16 signs your
child is at risk
Some 32,521 under-18s were referred for emergency
care at mental health services in 2022 to 2023, up from
21,242 in 2019 to 2020.
Doctors at the Royal College of Psychiatrists said the
shocking numbers "cannot become the new norm".
The college said many of these under-18s have suffered
worsening mental health while on NHS waiting lists for
treatment.
Dr Elaine Lockhart, chair of the college's child and
adolescent faculty, said: "It's unacceptable that so many
children and young people are reaching crisis point
before they are able to access care.
"Severe mental illness is not just an adult problem. The
need for specialist mental health services for children and
young people is growing all the time.
"The evidence shows us that children who receive
support quickly are less likely to develop long-term
conditions, that negatively affect their education, social
development and health in later life.
"Government and integrated care boards must commit to
reducing the rate of mental illness among children by
setting an achievable target.
"This needs to be backed by an expansion of the mental
health workforce and additional funding for services.
"Investing in children's mental health will ultimately free
up NHS time and resources, while ensuring the country
has a healthy and productive population in the years to
come."
The college said around half of mental health conditions
arise before the age of 14 and three-quarters before the
age of 24.
Data shows under-18s who are waiting for follow-up after
a GP referral for mental health problems have already
waited on average five months and, in the worst case,
almost two years.
The Royal College of Psychiatrists said last year's
Government announcement of an extra £5million to
improve access to existing early support hubs was
welcome.
But it said it predicts an extra £125 to £205million is
needed to establish hubs in every local authority, with
running costs of at least £114m per year.
It comes as the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child
Health (RCPCH) published a statement outlining the
"changing role" for paediatricians in being involved in
identifying and helping children with poor mental health.
RCPCH officer for mental health Dr Karen Street said:
"The entire children's workforce has a role to play in
tackling the current crisis in children's mental health but
as paediatricians we are particularly well placed to make
a difference.
"Research shows paediatricians are the most trusted
profession for secondary school children, across all
ethnicities and backgrounds and that children see
doctors as a key group to support their mental health.
"We know that paediatric settings and emergency
departments are not ideal for children and young people
experiencing a crisis in their mental health, but they
cannot be left without support.
"If we are ever to get out of this dire situation then we
need meaningful support for health services and staff, as
well as child focused polices that can improve the
physical, emotional, social and educational wellbeing of
young people.
"The responsibility to tackle this growing mental health
emergency cannot be left to healthcare professionals
alone."
Liberal Democrat health and social care spokesperson
Daisy Cooper said: "This devastating explosion of mental
ill health among children should be a wake-up call for the
government.
"Conservative ministers have neglected children's mental
health during and after the pandemic, leaving mental
health services and families in crisis.
"We have seen a litany of broken promises from this
government including the failure to deliver maximum
waiting times for children, ending out of area placements
or reforming the Mental Health Act."

“There is a kind of sleep that steals upon us sometimes, which, while it holds the body prisoner, does not free the mind from a sense of things about it, and enable it to ramble at its pleasure. So far as an overpowering heaviness, a prostration of strength, and an utter inability to control our thoughts or power of motion, can be called sleep, this is it; and yet we have a consciousness of all that is going on about us; and if we dream at such a time, words which are really spoken, or sounds which really exist at the moment, accommodate themselves with surprising readiness to our visions, until reality and imagination become so strangely blended that it is afterwards almost a matter of impossibility to separate the two. Nor is this, the most striking phenomenon, incidental to such a state. It is an undoubted fact, that although our senses of touch and sight be for the time dead, yet our sleeping thoughts, and the visionary scenes that pass before us, will be influenced, and materially influenced, by the mere silent presence of some external object: which may not have been near us when we closed our eyes: and of whose vicinity we have had no waking consciousness. ”

Text I
Shock of the old: Believe it or not, battery-powered vehicles
have been around since Victorian times.
The history of the electric car is surprisingly enraging. If you
imagine early electric vehicles at all (full disclosure: I didn’t until
recently), it will probably be as the quixotic and possibly dangerous
dream of a few eccentrics, maybe in the 1920s or 1930s, when
domestic electrification became widespread. It’s easy to imagine
some stiff-collared proto-Musk getting bored of hunting and
affairs, eyeing his newly installed electric lights speculatively, then
wreaking untold havoc and mass electrocutions. The reality is
entirely different.
By 1900, a third of all cars on the road in the US were electric;
we’re looking at the history of a cruelly missed opportunity, and it
started astonishingly early. The Scottish engineer Robert Anderson
had a go at an electric car of sorts way back in the 1830s, though
his invention was somewhat stymied by the fact rechargeable
batteries were not invented until 1859, making his crude carriage
something of a one-trick pony (and far less useful than an actual
pony).
It’s debatable whether or not Scotland was ready for this brave
new world anyway: in 1842, Robert Davidson (another Scot, who
had, a few years earlier, also tried his hand at an electric vehicle)
saw his electric locomotive Galvani “broken by some malicious
hands almost beyond repair” in Perth. The contemporary
consensus was that it was attacked by railway workers fearful for
their jobs.
Despite this unpromising start, electric vehicles had entered
widespread commercial circulation by the start of the 20th
century, particularly in the US. Electric cabs crisscrossed
Manhattan, 1897’s bestselling US car was electric and, when he
was shot in 1901, President McKinley was taken to hospital in an
electric ambulance. London had Walter Bersey’s electric taxis, and
Berlin’s fire engines went electric in 1908; the future looked bright,
clean and silent.
By the 1930s, however, the tide had definitively turned against
electric, cursed by range limitations and impractical charging times
while petrol gained the upper hand thanks partly – and ironically –
to the electric starter motor. The Horseless Age magazine, which
vehemently backed the petrol non-horse, would have been
delighted. There was a brief resurgence of interest in the late
1960s, when the US Congress passed a bill promoting electrical
vehicle development, but nothing much actually happened until
the Nissan Leaf sparked interest in 2009. Electric still isn’t quite
there yet, battling infrastructure and battery problems that might
have been familiar to Anderson and friends.

Exceptional Noise Cancellation
The AirPods Pro deliver excellent noise cancellation, but
you might notice that the ANC seems weak initially.
Simply wait a few seconds. The earphones first need to
measure the surrounding noise and create a custom ANC
profile appropriate for your current environment. And
then, when it kicks in, it's exceptional. Another positive
note—the ANC doesn't seem to introduce any noticeable
hiss in quiet settings, which cheap earphones often use
as a crutch.
In my tests, the AirPods Pro dramatically lowered
powerful low-frequency rumble (like you hear on an
airplane) after an initial adjustment period. In some of our
deep rumble tests, the AirPods even matched the
performance of the $299 Bose QuietComfort Earbuds,
which is impressive.
What's even more impressive is that, in some tests, the
AirPods Pro fare better than the QuietComfort Earbuds.
The problem, if you can call it one, is consistency, and
something I experienced with the AirPods Max as well.
The latter are also capable of shockingly effective noise
cancellation, but sometimes a slight head turn can
reduce their efficacy. The AirPods Pro are more likely to
remain effective after the initial adjustment, but
sometimes the resulting profile didn't impress me. But, to
their credit, a slight change to the in-ear fit can induce a
far more competent noise cancellation profile. So don't be
afraid to play around with how the earpieces sit in your
ear if the ANC isn't initially impressive.
