The problem for schools is that when 5 comes to computers, parents don't always know best.

Even those 10 believe that all children should have access to computers warn of potential dangers to the very young. The temptation remains strong largely because young children adapt so well 11 computers. First graders have been seen willing to work for two hours on math skills. Some have an attention span of 20 minutes. Not every school, 12 , can afford to go into computing, and that 13 yet another problem: a division between the haves and have-nots.

正确答案:
1. when 分析句子结构可知,空格部分后面作time的定语从句。由于空格处在定语从句中作状语,因此填入when。
2. items/presents 通过上下文可知,空格部分指代前面提到的typewriter、globe、encyclopedia set等礼物。因此此处填入items或者presents
3. to key to success成功的关键。
4. be 空格前面使用了insist,表示“坚持认为”,因此从句需使用虚拟语气,谓语部分使用should+动词原形,should可以省略。
5. it when it comes to sth.当说到……的时候,当涉及……的时候。
6. without 根据上下文语境可知,由于急躁的家长们,很多学校被迫购买计算机硬件,而没有成熟的教育计划。
7. caught find sb. caught in sth.发现某人陷于某种境地。
8. on agree on sth.对……取得一致意见,达成共识。后面常接某种决定、意向等。
9. with 句意:大量的资金投入在用计算机教授课程的材料上了,而研究表明这些材料同样可以用普通的纸和笔来教给学生。
10. who 根据上下文语境可知,此处those指人,因此后面需使用who引导定语从句。
11. to adapt to sth.适应某事。
12. however 上文中讨论了学校购置计算机等硬件,而本句讲到并不是所有学校都能支付得起这笔钱。因此空格处填入表示转折的however。
13. creates/causes 根据语境可知,此处指引起另外一个问题。因此填入creates或者causes。注意使用动词的单数第三人称形式。
14. for 在贫困地区,几乎没有哪位父母要求计算机教学。ask for是固定搭配,意为“要求”。
15. that 结合语境可知,此句是对上文内容的原因进行的说明,则此处应填入一个连词引导状语从句表示“由于”。in that因为;由于。
