Do you believe that positive impacts of computers outweigh negative impacts regarding the use of computer on our daily life? Explain this with your ideas and relevant examples.
Nowadays,computer is essential to our financial work, scientific research, communication, even learning and recreation.Nevertheless, advantage and disadvantage always appear in the meantime. However, I still believe that positive impacts of computers outweigh negative impacts regarding the use of computer on our daily life.
Some people claims that children pay all attention on computer games and school results just fall a lot. Undeniable, if teenager really dig their teeth into bad habit through internet, it is a serious problem. But computer also is a truly good learning tool when children know how to use it in a correct way. Like parent should control their time of using the computer, search the information that they are intereted with them.
Some people argue that computer assists the crime process. In fact, an inventor of computer is our angel, our superman that we can develop our science and technology, prosperous economy, even creativity easily through the computer. In this day and age, all the scientist research the thing that we don't know with the computer; clerical work and businessman are working with the computer instead many complicated procedure that just work by sample machine.
To sum up, computer can help us to alleviate the difficult works. Moreover, it can make us eye-opening if we use it rightly.

Comprehension questions
Economic
Economics is the social science that studies the production, distribution (分配), and consumption (消耗) of goods and services.
A definition that captures (獲得) much of modern economics is that of Lionel Robbins in a 1932 essay: "the science which studies human behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce (缺乏的) means which have alternative (二擇一) uses.
Economics aims to explain how economies work and how economic agents interact (互相影響). Economic analysis (分析) is applied (實用的) throughout society, in business, finance and government, but also in crime, education, the family, health, law, politics, religion, social institutions (習俗), war, and science. The expanding (擴大中的) domain (範圍) of economics in the social sciences has been described as economic imperialism (帝國主義).
According to the article, what is the definition of the term economic?
Economics is defined as the social science that studies the production, distribution (分配), and consumption (消耗) of goods and services.
How did Lionel Robbins define economic in 1932? How does it differ from the recent definition?
Lionel Robbins defined economic as the science that studied human behaviour as a relationship between ends and scarce (缺乏的). For example, how a person would manage what he had and what he did not have and then made some choices and alternatives (二擇一) for its uses. It only deals with supply and demand.
However, it didn't take care of the distribution that is one of the three major areas that the recent economic includes in.

Comprehension Questions
Smart people don’t just learn better. They learn differently. While many students get caught up in memorizing facts, intelligent learners know to seek the bigger picture and connect the facts together. This form of learning I call holistic learning.
Holistic learning is basically the opposite of rote memorization. Instead of reciting lists of facts, rules or formulas, you seek to connect ideas together. Instead of having separate boxes in your head for geometry, algebra or ancient India, you deliberately link facts together, so they form a bigger picture.
Excessive studying shows you aren’t learning holistically. It shows that you didn’t learn the material the first time. If you properly link ideas together to see the bigger picture, studying should only be a brief refresher.
How to Boost Your Study Habits
Holistic learning isn’t like a brainstorming technique or mind-mapping. It is fundamentally changing how you look at the process of learning and how you absorb information. As such, there isn’t an easy ten step program to master it.
There are some tools that can help you shift your learning habits so they become more holistic:
Visceralize 感官和動作集中學習- You’ve probably heard of visualizing, right? Visceralizing means taking all of your senses and connecting it to information. Studies have shown that people remember more vividly information that comes to us in an emotionally aroused state. Linking feelings, senses and imagery to bland ideas makes them more real. You probably counted on your fingers when learning numbers, why can’t you do the same when you are learning now?
Metaphor隱喻 - The heart of holistic learning is relating things together. Metaphors are literary devices that link two things that normally don’t go together. Come up with metaphors to describe more complicated ideas in simpler terms.
Ten-Year-Old Rule十歲法則 - Explain ideas to yourself as you would to a ten year old. Sure, this isn’t always possible in your last years of a medical degree or learning how to apply neural networks to computer AI. But the idea is that you should be able to “dumb down” an idea enough so it seems obvious to yourself.
Trace Back 引用 - Put away your books and start with a random fact or concept. Then relate that idea to another concept in your subject. Keep doing this tracing pattern until you’ve linked many ideas together. The Gupta Dynasty reminds you of ancient Greece which reminds you of Socrates, reminding you of Confucius…
Refresher Scan 快速復習 - Scan through information in your text book. Notice whenever you encounter information that you either don’t remember or weren’t 100% sure about. Quickly link that information back to existing ideas through viscerlization and metaphor. If your refresher scan is turning up more than a few points per chapter, you haven’t learned it thoroughly enough.
Compress Information壓縮信息 - Not all information works well for holistic learning. A common point cited to me is learning anatomy for first year medical students. Anatomy involves learning arbitrary Latin names for hundreds of different elements of your body. There often aren’t clear patterns and constructs, just a dry list of facts. When encountering information such as this, your goal should be to compress it. Find ways to group information into smaller chunks of memory through pictures or mnemonics.
Write寫下有關聯想 - Take a piece of paper and write out the connections in the information. Reorganize the information into different patterns. The key here is the writing, not the final product. So don’t waste your time making a pretty picture. Scribble and use abbreviations to link the ideas together.

1. What is holistic learning?
( Sample answer: Holistic learning is the kind learning where where learners make a thorough learning the first time they learn. They tried understand what he learn by using and forming pictures to connect the facts and information together.)
2. List four of the learning habits and explain how they help learners to learn better.
(Sample Answer: One of the learning habit is called virceralisation. Learners can benefit when they use feelings, senses, and imaginary to bland ideas and information when they learn something. This helps them remember better and more vividly because information that comes to them in an emotionally aroused state.)
