Online education is becoming a popular learning choice to traditional colleges. Most colleges offer online programs in various fields and levels, which allows students to go on with their education over the Internet. Students must keep in mind that the college they wish to apply to must be approved by a related recognized organization.
So who can really benefit from an online program? Well, anybody, and everybody! Online programs can turn out to be a pocket-friendly choice to a traditional college for many people. Here’s a list of people who usually consider joining in an online degree program;

A microscope is a useful instrument for observing small objects. By producing a bigger image, the microscope reveals details that are undetectable to the naked eye(裸眼).
Before using the microscope, please read the instructions below.
CAUTION: Microscopes are both delicate and expensive and must be handled with care.
1. Always carry the microscope with two hands — one supporting the base and the other on the arm.
2. Avoid stretching the wire of the lamp across a walkway.
3. Keep the stage clean and always use a glass slide for specimens(样本).
4. To avoid crushing the glass slide when focusing, begin with the lens close to the specimen and gradually back off to focus.
5. Keep the microscope covered to prevent the dust while it is being stored.
HOW TO USE THE MICROSCOPE:
1. Plug(接通电源) in the lamp.
2. Place a sample of what you wish to observe on a slide.
3. Adjust the mirror so it reflects light from the room up into the objective lens. When the mirror is correctly adjusted, a complete circle of light iwll appear when you look through the eyepiece.
4. Place your slide with the specimen directly over the center of the glass circle on teh stage. If it is a wet slide, be sure the bottom of the slide is dry.
5. With the LOW POWER objective leans placed over the slide, use the coarse focus knob to lower the lens to the lowest point.
6. Look through the eyepiece with one eye while closing the other eye. Slowly raise the lens until teh focus is relatively clear.
7. Use the fine focus knob to fine -tune(微调)the focus.
8. Without changing the focus knobs, switch to the HIGH POWER objective lens. Once you have switched to HIGH POWER, use only the fine focus knob to make the image sharper.

Anyone who has ever lost keys or money will have wished for a simple but effective way to make sure it never happens again. A US company is trying to help.
Using a tiny microchip which is implanted into the arm, they have come up with a replacement for cash or credit cards that cannot be left at home or dropped on the bus.
The Verichip is about the size of a grain of rice and works using radio frequency  identification technology. At a shop, a radio frequency “reader” would send a signal and the chip in your arm would respond with your unique identity number. That would give the “reader” your financial information, and money could be taken directly from your accounts and you wouldn"t even have to reach for your wallet.
The company also hopes to include other information on the chip, such as medical records, building security codes(密码) and passwords, making life even easier.
But not everyone is happy with the developments. Critics say that a lot can go wrong with the chip. A clever thief could build a fake(假的) reader that would steal your information without you knowing. So your money could still be stolen. Privacy is a big issue too. Stores, or even the government, only need to track the chip to find out what you buy, how much you spend and where you go.
And if you wanted to get rid of your chip,you would need an operation to remove it.
小题1:The Verichip is         .
A.the identity number B.the security code
C.a tiny microchipD.a radio reader
小题2:Paragraph 3 is mainly about         .
A.how the Verichip works
B.the importance of the Verichip

A.Your information on it will always be safe.
B.Medical records have already been included.
C.You can easily reach for your wallet using it.
D.An operation has to be performed to remove it.
小题4:What can be inferred from the text?
A.All people are satisfied with the chip.
B.The Verichip company has financial problems.
C.The chip needs improving to be widely accepted.
D.Many people have the experience of losing keys or money.

Whenever anyone measures educational success, East Asian countries are always top scorers. But in a recent league table, a European country, Finland, was top of the class. South Korea was still in second place, though. Britain was at number 6.
In Korea the school day is long—typically 7 or 8 hours, followed by hours of private tutoring in the evenings. All this hothousing leaves Korean students so tired, they sometimes fall asleep in class next day. Worries about the effects of late night cramming(填鸭式) led the government to force cramming schools to close by 10 pm. Finnish children spend the least time in class in the developed world, often finishing just after lunch, with about one hour of homework a day. Private tuition is uncommon. The British and American school day is quite long in comparison, around 6 hours, and secondary school pupils do 2 or 3 hours of self-study a night.
The Korean education system, like many in Asia, is intensely competitive, with students even competing to get into the best cramming schools, to help them get ahead. Finnish education is far less cut-throat. Classes are all mixed ability, and there are no league tables. British schools again occupy the middle ground, with quite high levels of competition for places at university, and schools and universities battling to come top of league tables for everything from exam results to student satisfaction. Korea and Finland both do well, yet their education systems are so different.
However, there are some similarities in Korea and Finland. In those countries, teachers have high status in society, and education is very highly valued. Those attitudes can"t change quickly. But it can be done. They might be the star pupils now, but until the l970s, Finland"s educational system was poor. Their thoroughly different approach to schooling has taken them to the top in just a generation.
小题1:The students spend the least time in school in         .
A.the UK B.Finland C.the USA D.Korea
小题2:According to the text, we think in Korea         .
A.students spend more time in studying
B.students are tired of studying in class
C.students leave their school early
D.students are always top scorers
小题3:The underlined phrase “all this hothousing” in Paragragh 2 probably refers to         .
A.private evening tutoringB.self-study at home
C.long-hour studyD.school study
小题4:From Paragragh 3, we can know that         .
A.Finnish students are less stressed in study
B.there"re also many cramming schools in Britain
C.students in Korea are the most competitive in Asia
D.British schools are less competitive than universities
小题5:According to the author, the key to improving education is         .
A.the attitude B.the schooling time
C.star pupils D.new teaching approach

In a little-known part of the counter-terrorism(反恐怖主义) world, one of the most effective detection systems is a 600-pound animal that works for about 20 pounds of fish a day.
Since the 1960s, the United States and a handful of other countries have trained dolphins and sea lions to detect sea mines and swimmers, to recover inert torpedoes(鱼雷)and to test objects used in Naval exercises.
Program officials estimate that the sea lions in the Marine Mammal Program have recovered millions of dollars of U.S. Naval torpedoes and instrumentation dropped on the sea floor.
The U.S. Navy kept its Marine Mammal Program a secret until the 1990s, and this spring CNN became one of only a handful of media outlets to see firsthand how the program works.
The program has trained about 75 Pacific bottlenose dolphins, with natural biosonar (生物声纳) that tracks better than any manmade device; and 35 California sea lions, with superb underwater eyesight.
Not only do these trained marine mammals track and retrieve millions of dollars in U. S. military equipment, they are also helping to save lives.
The Navy won"t disclose whether the dolphins and sea lions have effectively intercepted (阻拦)terrorists attempting to do harm to any U.S. facilities.
"Either way, it serves as a deterrent(阻碍) effect." says Christian Harris, operations supervisor for the program. The mammals can be deployed(调动) via C-130 cargo aircraft to perform their missions anywhere in the world within 72 hours. They have been used in exercises from Alaska to Hawaii, operating in great temperature and environmental ranges. They also have the capability to operate off vessels.
Dolphins most recently were deployed in the Iraq war, performing mine detection and clearance operations in the Persian Gulf to ensure safe passage for humanitarian ships delivering aid. Some of these Iraq war "veterans" are now back home, tasked with a new mission: guarding nuclear submarines in their homeports of Bremerton, Washington, and Groton, Connecticut.
小题1:The underlined word "retrieve" in Paragraph 6 can be replaced by ________.
A.find outB.recoverC.saveD.detect
小题2:Which is NOT the purpose of the Marine Mammal Program?
A.To detect sea mines and swimmers.
B.To save lives of people.
C.To recover inert torpedoes.
D.To help the U.S. Naval test equipment.
小题3:What can be inferred according to the text?
A.These trained marine mammals eat pounds of fish a day.
B.The U.S. Navy performed the Marine Mammal Program for about 30 years secretly.
C.These mammals can carry out a task everywhere.
D.A lot of countries will train dolphins and sea lions for anti-terrorism.
小题4:What would be the best title for the passage?
A.The Special Skills of Marine MammalsB.The U.S. Anti-terrorism Program
C.Exceptional Anti-terrorism MemberD.Trained Marine Mammals
