S.D., so commuting(经常往返) to class isn"t the problem. But he doesn"t like lectures much, isn"t a
morning person, and wants time during the day to restore motorcycles.
So Steele, a full-time senior business major, has been taking as many classes as he can from the
South Dakota State system"s online offerings. He gets better grades and learns more, he says, and
insists he isn"t missing out on the college experience.
"I still know a lot of people from my first two years living on campus, and I still meet a lot of people,"
he says. But now, he sets his own schedule.
At least 2.3 million people took some kind of online courses, according to a recent survey by The
Sloan Consortium, an online education group, and two-thirds of colleges offering "face-to-face" courses
also offer online ones. But what were once two different types of classes are looking more and more
alike and often falling into the same pool of students.
At some schools, online courses originally intended for non-traditional students living far from campus
have proved surprisingly popular with on-campus students. A recent study found 42 percent of the
students enrolled(登记) in its distance education courses were located on campus at the university that
was hosting the online courses.
Numbers vary depending on the policies of particular colleges, but other schools also have students
mixing and matching online and "face-to-face" credits. Motives range from lifestyle to adapting a job
schedule to getting into high-demand courses.
Washington State had about 325 on-campus undergraduates taking one or more distance courses last
year. As many as 9,000 students took both distance and in-person classes at Arizona State last year.
"Business is really about providing choices to their customers, and that"s really what we want to do," said
Sheila Aaker, extended services coordinator (协调人) at Black Hills State.
Many schools, such as Washington State and Arizona State, let departments and academic units
decide who can take an online course. They say students with legitimate academic needs-a conflict
with another class, a course they need to graduate that is full---often get permission, though they still must
take some key classes in person.
B. To tell us about the development of campus courses.
C. To show the differences between campus courses and online courses.
D. To show more on-campus students are taking online courses.
B. knows none of his classmates
C. wants to have his own lifestyle
D. doesn"t get good marks
B. It is expected that distance education is popular with on-campus students.
C. About 325 on-campus undergraduates took online courses in Washington last year.
D. Different colleges have different policies about online courses.
B. colleges should provide more majors for students
C. where the similarity between business and colleges lies
D. why colleges offer online courses to on-campus students

Two men, who were both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour a day to get rid of the fluids (液体) from his lungs. His bed was next to the room"s only window. The other man had to spend all his time lying flat on his back. The men talked for hours on_end. They talked about everything in their life. But always, the best subject was the time when his roommate described all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed would live for those onehour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activities and color of the outside world. The man had said out of the window was a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans (天鹅) played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm among flowers of every color. Old trees graced the landscape, and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance. As the man by the window described all this in detail, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine the scene. One warm afternoon the man by the window described a parade passing by. Although the other man could not hear the band, he could see it in his eye as the man by the window described it. Unexpectedly, an alien thought entered his head: Why should he have all the pleasure of seeing everything while I never get to see anything? It didn"t seem fair. As the thought fermented (发酵), the man felt ashamed at first. But as the days passed and he missed seeing more sights, his envy became resentment and soon turned him sour. These dark thoughts made himself unable to sleep. He should be by that window-and that thought now controlled his life. Late one night, as he lay staring at the ceiling, the man by the window began to cough uncontrollably and pushed the button calling for help. But he never moved, never pushed his own button, which would have brought the nurse running. In about five minutes the man was gone. When his body was taken away, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. His wish was soon granted (满足). But when he strained to take his first look out of the window, he found it faced a blank wall. | |||||||||||||||||||||||

In the fifteenth century in Nuremberg, lived a family with eighteen children. They were so poor that two children, who wanted to pursue their talent for __1__, knew their father would never be __2__ able to send either of them to Nuremberg to study at the Academy. So they tossed (掷) a coin. Albrecht Durer, the younger, __3__ the toss and went off to Nuremberg.

By the time he graduated, he was beginning to earn __6__ fees by drawing for wealthy people. When Albrecht returned home, at dinner he drank a __7__ to his beloved brother for the years of __8__ that had enabled him to fulfill his __9__. He said, "Albert, my blessed brother, now it is your __10__ to go to Nuremberg to pursue your dream, and I will take care of you." With tears in his eyes, Albert held his hands close to his right cheek and said, "No, brother. I cannot go. Look…look what four years in the mines have done to my __11__! The bones in every finger have been __12__ at least once. Lately I have been suffering from arthritis (关节炎) so badly in my right hand that I cannot even hold a __13__ to return your toast, much less make delicate lines with a pen or a brush. No, brother…, for me it is too __14__." Deeply moved, Albrecht painstakingly drew his brother"s __15__ hands with palms together and thin fingers stretched skyward. He called his powerful drawing __16__ "Hands", to which the entire world immediately opened their hearts and later they __17__ it "The Praying Hands".
