France bans smartphones in schools from first through ninth grades France’s education ministry hopes that its smartphone ban, which took effect at the beginning of September, will get schoolchildren to pay more attention in class and interact more, and several studies suggest such correlations
Some experts are skeptical that the ban can be enforced, and some teachers question the merits of insulating children from the internet-dominated world they will face outside school
“If we want to prepare children in the 21st century, we must give them the tools of modernity: mastery of math, of general culture, the ability to flourish in social relationships, a capacity to discuss with others, to understand and respect others and then very strong digital skills,” said Education Minister Jean-Michel Blanquer
However, the French government believes that without minimizing distractions, children will never learn the basics The problems with smartphone use are well known Students’ insecurity can rise as they constantly worry about keeping up with “likes” and “shares” on social media Teachers worry about cyberbullying and abusive practical jokes like photographing classmates from under the bathroom door and then posting the images online Seriously, smartphone use sets off the production of dopamine – “the same system that is implicated in addictions and drugs,” said Jean-Philippe Lachaux, a neuroscientist at the National Institute for Health and Medical Research “The problem with the telephone is that it reduces all sensation
to what you see and the body disappears,” he said “The world is very much reduced.” That makes the smartphone ban more important so that children “open up to the rest of the world” for
at least a few hours a day
The smartphone ban expands on a current law that applied only to junior high grades and forbade the use of smartphones during class The new law includes lower grades and will also apply to the entire school grounds, including the schoolyard The only exception is when smartphones’ use is assigned by a teacher Under the new law, students can bring their phones

Question 45: What is true about the first silent films?
They were in beautiful colors They were different from music-hall entertainment They were shown in late 19th century They involved singers, dancers, and magicians
Question 47: What does the word “they” in paragraph 3 refer to?
pressing concerns film-makers the talkies European countries
Question 48: When was the first American story film created?
For the first half of the 20th century the cinema dominated all other forms of popular
entertainment in the world During the heyday of the ‘movie theatre’ or the ‘picture house’ – as the Americans and British variously called their cinema halls – millions of people throughout the world developed the habit (almost the addiction) of going to see a film at least once a week This was the golden age of Hollywood, film capital of both the United States and the world
The first silent films (in black and white, of course) were shown during the 1890s as part
of music-hall entertainment, taking turns along with various live acts such as singers, dancers,
and magicians Such films were simply to give the audience a thrill; the vision of a huge
locomotive racing towards you out of the screen usually produced the effect that both the promoter and the audience desired Indeed, this thrill element continues to be very significant in movies, as is witnessed by the demand for more and more spectacular ‘special effects’ in various science-fiction extravaganzas
A Frenchman, Georges Melies, created the first actual story-related movies around 1900
and the first American story film was The Great Train Robbery in 1903 From then until 1914,
American and European film-makers were more or less equal, but after the outbreak of the First World War Europeans had other more pressing concerns, and far away in California, near the city
of Los Angeles, the film-makers of the New World went ahead on their own, producing first the talkies and then Technicolor Many European countries (including France, Britain, Russia, and
Germany) have continued to make films, but they have never really managed to catch up with
the lead that Hollywood established during and after the Great War
The only nation that can nowadays be said to rival the United States in the volume of films produced, money made and numbers entertained is India, which has an extremely successful home and export business in films; it makes movies available both to Indian communities established in other parts of the world and to countries whose people are culturally closer to Bombay than to Hollywood
