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

举一反三
you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.
Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However,
they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to
stay out of their territory.
Do you know what a "territory" is? A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male, claims as its
own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same species are welcome.
Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome. If a stranger
should enter your territory and threaten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten
him away.
If so, you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same
thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting season. So he is screaming all the
time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird"s song, and it is usually
enough to keep an outsider away.
Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the
territory of theirs.
You can see that birds have a language all their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and
setting up territories.
B. a way of warning
C. an expression of anger
D. a way of greeting
B. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.
C. An area for which birds fight against each other.
D. An area which a bird considers to be its own.
B. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away.
C. Because they want to find outsiders around.
D. Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.
B. By reporting experiment results.
C. By describing birds" daily life.
D. By telling a bird"s story.
technique that could help track the movements of criminal suspects or unidentified murder victims.
The method relies on measuring how chemical variations in drinking water show up in people"s hair.
"You"re what you eat and drink, and that"s recorded in your hair," said Thure Cerling, a geologist at
the University of Utah.
While U.S diet is relatively identical, water supplies vary. The differences result from weather patterns. The chemical composition of rainfall changes slightly as rain clouds move.
Most hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water are stable, but traces of both elements are also present as
heavier isotopes (同位素). The heaviest rain falls first. As a result, storms that form over the Pacific
deliver heavier water to California than to Utah.
Similar patterns exist throughout the U.S. By measuring the proportion of heavier hydrogen and
oxygen isotopes along a strand of hair, scientists can construct a geographic timeline. Each inch of hair
corresponds to about two months.
Cerling"s team collected tap water samples from 600 cities and constructed a map of the regional
differences. They checked the accuracy of the map by testing 200 hair samples collected from 65 barber
shops. They were able to accurately place the hair samples in broad regions roughly corresponding to
the movement of rain systems.
"It"s not good for pinpointing (精确定位)," Cerling said. "It"s good for eliminating many possibilities."
Todd Park, a local detective, said the method has helped him learn more about an unidentified woman whose skeleton was found near Great Salt Lake.
The woman was 5 feet tall. Police recovered 26 bones, a T-shirt and several strands of hair.
When Park heard about the research, he gave the hair samples to the researchers.
Chemical testing showed that over the two years before her death, she moved about every two
months.
She stayed in the Northwest, although the test could not be more specific than somewhere between
eastern Oregon and western Wyoming.
"It"s still a substantial area," Park said "But it narrows it way down for me."
B. A person"s hair may reveal where they have lived.
C. Hair analysis accurately identifies criminal suspects..
D. The chemical composition of hair varies from person to person.
B. Food and drink preferences vary with individuals.
C. Food and drink leave traces in one"s body tissues.
D. Food and drink are essential to one"s existence.
B. The water it delivers becomes lighter when it moves inland.
C. Its chemical composition is less stable than in other areas.
D. It gathers more light isotopes as it moves eastward.
B. It helps the police determine where a crime is committed.
C. It helps the police narrow down possibilities in detective work.
D. It helps identify the drinking habits of the person under investigation.
It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or
radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturdays or Sundays. But for most people,reading a newspaper has
become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature(特征) of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our
lives-the big political stories,the coverage(报道) of the wars,earthquakes and other disasters,will
continue much the same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research,though,the research
happening in areas that may directly affect our lives,like genetic(基因) engineering. In the future,I think
there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do-as we develop a better
understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It"s quite possible that in the next century,newspapers will be transmitted (传输)electronically from
the Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact,I"m pretty sure how it will happen in the future.
You will probably be able to choose from a menu and make up your own newspaper by picking out the
things you want to read-say,sports,international news,ect.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media. They
actually feed-off(依靠) each other. Some people once foresaw(预见) that television would kill off
newspapers,but that hasn"t happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures flashed
up on a screen or sounds lost in the air. And as for the Internet,it"s never really pleasant to read something
just on a screen.
B. The Changes of Media
C. Make Your Own Newspaper
D. The Future of Newspaper
B. newspapers will not be printed in publishing houses any longer
C. newspapers will cover more scientific research
D. more and more people will read newspapers
B. A menu of important news.
C. The most important news.
D. What you are interested in.
庭的) DNA testing so that an individual can be identified by a single cell.
Ian Findlay, from the Australian Genome Research Facility at the University of Queensland, said
current DNA testing required 200 to 500 cells to gain a similar level of accuracy. "What we have done
has brought that down to one cell," Dr Findlay said after releasing details of his DNA testing technique
at a Sydney conference.
The technology could allow investigators to pick up DNA identities from plastic cards and even build
up a complete history of the people who have handled a paper document.
"You"d have to wear a space suit to stop yourself from leaving traces. You can identify cells on the
paper, so you can work out where it"s come from and who"s touched it," he said.
The technique could also be used to trace the thrower of a punch (打孔) from cells left behind on the
skin of their victim. Even the wearing of latex(橡胶)gloves would not help: small cells can pass through
the gloves, and the constant flow of genetic material given off by the human body would leave further
evidence.
"We gained a skin cell from a document dating back 30 years and managed to gain a DNA
fingerprint. DNA evidence can remain fresh for decades, perhaps even centuries," Dr Findlay said. "The
potential for this technology to solve unsolved crimes is great, "he said.
But Dr Findlay, named scientist of the year in 1998 by the European Society of Human Genetics, said
the new testing needed to be scientifically validated, which would take up to five years.
He said, "There are serious consequences taking on technologies too early. The public has to be sure
that they have the utmost confidence in the security and court systems."
B. a single cell can identify an individual
C. a higher level of accuracy can be acquired with a single cell
D. it needs less than 200 cells to gain a certain level of accuracy
B. imagined good
C. supposed commonly
D. criticized strongly
B. make the process of DNA testing much more simplified
C. help to pick up DNA identities more easily
D. be widely used in five years at most
B. the public have acknowledged the new testing technology
C. it is safe to put the new technology into use now
D. Dr Findlay is quite sure of his new technology
B. inform us of the wide use of DNA testing
C. report a piece of interesting news
D. tell us a recent improvement in DNA testing
wife of previous Prime Minister Tony Blair, said that she would prepare a packed lunch for her son if
school dinners do not improve. So what do students of your age eat for lunch at school?
Japan
High schools have canteens (食堂), which serve everything from noodles to rice, but no hamburger
and chips. Other children bring food from home such as cold rice balls, meat or fish, pickles (泡菜) and
vegetables. Students take home a menu for the coming month containing notes on nutrition (营养) value.
Twice a year parents are invited to have a taste of the food. The class with the fewest leftovers (剩饭) at
the end of the month receives a prize.
Untied States
A typical menu from a US school is made up of a hamburger with fried potatoes or roast chicken,
lettuce and pickles, fruit and cookies. School lunches must also provide at least one-third of the daily
dietary allowances (定量) of protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium, and calories.
Australia
Meat pies, sausage rolls and hotdogs are all traditional dishes in Australian school shops. But as the
nation pays more attention to children"s health, healthier foods have started to find their way onto school
menus. Many schools have used a "traffic light system". The sale of red-labelled foods, including cakes,
chocolate and soft drinks, is served only twice a week. Healthier green-labelled foods such as sushi (寿司), sandwiches, corn and watermelon, however, are available every day. In some schools, students
have a choice of up to 89 foods to choose from, including popcorn and rice.
South Africa
Most of South Africa"s schools do not serve meals at all. Classes end at 1:30 pm and students get
their own lunches. Many students bring food from home, usually sandwiches.
Fast food and fried food sell the best among students, which has led to a rise in obesity among
children. But as more people began to realize the fact that being too fat may cause different diseases,
some schools in towns have led the way towards better nutrition. Now students at these schools are
provided with lunches of porridge with vegetables, such as cabbages, onions, beans, carrots and
tomatoes.
B. Addiction
C. Food shortage
D. Overweight.
B. most of the students in South Africa eat their lunch at home.
C. many schools in Australia have traffic lights outside their school.
D. you can have whatever you like in school canteens in Japan.
B. Schools serve different foods from country to country.
C. Schools should supply the students with the best food.
D. School children all over the world dislike their school food.
B. schoolmasters
C. nutritionists
D. students of your age
