So what do students think of e-textbooks? Administrators at Northwest Missouri State University wanted to find out. Earlier this year they tested them with five hundred students in twenty classes. The university is unusual. It not only provides laptop computers to all seven thousand of its full-time students. It does not require students to buy their textbooks either. They rent them to save money. The school aims to save even more by moving to e-textbooks. The students in the survey reported that downloading the books from the Internet was easy. They liked the idea of carrying lighter backpacks. And fifty-six percent said they were better able to find information. But most found that using e-textbooks did not change their study habits. And sixty percent felt they read more when they were reading on paper. In all, almost half the students said they still liked physical textbooks better. But the survey found that cost could be a big influence. Fifty-five percent said they would choose e-textbooks if using them meant their textbook rental fee would not increase. Roger Von Holzen heads the Center for Information Technology in Education at Northwest Missouri State. He tells us that administrators are disappointed with the e-textbooks now available because the majority are not interactive. He thinks growth will come when more digital books include video, activities, games and other ways to interact with the information. The technology is improving. But for now, most of the books are just words on a screen.

核心考点
试题【The average college student in America spent an estimated seven hundred dollars 】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
1. Get connected to your network and try to expand it. Talk to friends, family and acquaintances. Let everyone know you are looking for a job.
2. Prepare your resume (个人简历) carefully and be sure it’s perfect. Have someone else read it over for typos (打字错误) and grammatical errors. Get professional help. It’s worth the money to present yourself well. If money is tight, read books on resume writing from your public library or search for free help on the Internet.
3. When you apply for a job, be sure you have the skills listed on the posting. If you get an interview, be sure to describe those skills thoroughly. Just having the skills is not enough. Expressing your abilities well can make all the difference in getting the job.
4. Research typical interview questions and practice interviewing. Be well prepared for every interview.
5. Don’t be afraid to accept a position for which you are overqualified — if there’s room for advancements. Many great job advancements come from first doing well at an entry-level position. If you have the right skills and attitude, it won’t be long before you’re in the job you want.
6. Volunteer for a few weeks in your field of study to gain experience if you feel your resume needs an improvement.
7. When deciding what to wear for an interview, think about the position level and the dress code of the organization.
8. Use every tool available to you. For example, this site has many job links for your use.
Good luck!

The sellers put a paid announcement in a local newspaper. It tells when and where the yard sale will take place. These sales are very popular during weekends in spring, summer, and autumn.
Early in the morning, all the things to be sold are carried out of the house. Then they sit all day in the sunlight -- like tired guests at a party -- waiting for someone to take them home.
Just about anything can be sold at a yard sale. Sometimes, there are more clothes than anything else. Cooking equipment is also popular. So are old toys, tools, books, tables, and chairs. Then there are objects called "white elephants." A white elephant is something you think is extremely ugly or useless. It may be an electric light shaped like a fish. You feel a sharp pain whenever you look at it. To someone else, however, it might be a thing of beauty and joy.
Some people go to yard sales to find a special thing that they collect. It may be old toy trains, for example, or paintings of dogs. Experts say more Americans are collecting old things now than ever before. Most people who go to yard sales, however, are not looking for anything special. They might buy an object simply because it costs so little. They enjoy negotiating over prices, even if they really do not need the object. Later, they may hold their own yard sale to sell all the things they have bought.

A.Cheap and ugly things. | B.Things people no longer use. |

The coming of age of the postwar baby boom and an entry of women into the male-dominated job market have limited the opportunities of teenagers who are already questioning the heavy personal sacrifices involved in climbing Japans rigid social ladder to good schools and jobs. In a recent survey, it was found that only 24.5 percent of Japanese students were fully satisfied with school life, compared with 67.2 percent of students in the United States. In addition, far more Japanese workers expressed dissatisfaction with their jobs than their counterparts did in the ten other countries surveyed.
While often praised by foreigners for its emphasis on the basics, Japanese education tends to stress test taking and mechanical learning over creativity and self-expression." Those things that do not show up in the test scores, personality, ability, courage or humanity are completely ignored," says Toshiki Kaifu, chairman of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party"s education committee." Frustration against this kind of thing leads kids to drop out and run wild." Last year Japan experienced 2,125 incidents of school violence, including 929 assaults on teachers. Amid the outcry, many conservative leaders are seeking a return to the prewar emphasis on moral education. Last year Mitsuo Setoyama, who was then education minister, raised eyebrows when he argued that liberal reforms introduced by the American occupation authorities after World WarⅡ had weakened the "Japanese morality of respect for parents."
But that may have more to do with Japanese life-styles." In Japan," says educator Yoko Muro, "it’s never a question of whether you enjoy your job and your life, but only how much you can endure." With economic growth becoming centralization, fully 76 percent of Japans, 119 million citizens live in cities where community and the extended family have been abandoned in favor of isolated, two generation households. Urban Japanese have long endured lengthy commutes (travels to and from work) and crowded living conditions, but as the old group and family values weaken, the discomfort is beginning to tell. In the past decade, the Japanese divorce rate, while still well below that of the United States, has increased by more than 50 percent, and suicides have increased by nearly one-quarter.
小题1: In the Westerners eyes, the postwar Japan was_____ .
A.under aimless development | B.a positive example |
C.a rival to the West | D.on the decline |
A.Women"s participation in social activities is limited. |
B.More workers are dissatisfied with their jobs. |
C.Excessive emphasis has been placed on the basics. |
D.The life-style has been influenced by Western values. |
A.Japanese education is praised for helping the young climb the social ladder. |
B.Japanese education is characterized by mechanical learning as well as creativity. |
C.More stress should be placed on the cultivation of creativity. |
D.Dropping out leads to frustration against test taking. |
A.the young are less tolerant of discomforts |
B.the divorce rate in Japan exceeds that in the U.S. |
C.the Japanese endure more than ever before |
D.the Japanese appreciate their present life |
Author Alan McGinIlis cites an interesting study about the power of positive encouragement.A second-grade teacher complained that her children were spending too much time standing up and roaming around the room rather than working.
Two psychologists observed the behavior of the children and the teacher. Every ten seconds they noted how many children were out of their seats. They counted 360 unseated children throughout each 20-minute period.They also noted that the teacher said "Sit down!" seven times during the same period.
The psychologists tried an experiment.They asked the teacher to tell the children to sit down more often. This time they noted that she commanded her students to sit down 27.5 times in an average 20-minute period, and now 540 were noted to be out of their seats during the same average period.Her increased scolding actually made the problem worse.
Then the experimenters tried a different task.They asked the teacher to quietly praise those children who were seated and working.At this time, children"s roaming was decreased by 33%.They showed their best behavior when they were praised more and blamed less.
People who motivate others to take great action are almost always those who encourage more than criticize; who praise more and blame less.
Perhaps the woman"s question is the correct one after all."Do you give validation?" I hope I can always answer “YES”.

A.made a very silly mistake | B.was laughed at by the manager |

B.they were inspired by the teacher"s attitude |
C.they regretted roaming around the classroom |
D.they changed their relationship with the teacher |
A.it is better to blame others than to praise others |
B.sometimes it"s hard to receive praise from others |
C.criticizing children does no good to their growth |
D.we all know how to encourage others by praising |
A.To show the power of encouragement. |
B.To show how the teacher praises children. |
C.To show his argument is scientifically based. |
D.To show the teacher is a successful motivator. |

Most scientific progress is the result of careful consideration of work that has already been done. The wonderful world which lies before us today has been put up by hardworking men with clear heads and inventive mind, and these who follow them along life’s road will improve on their efforts. It is sometimes necessary to question and even to disbelieve some of the statements made by experts. Action or experiment can often end an argument or achieve a breakthrough.
When men were wondering whether it was possible to reach India by sailing westwards from Europe, and whether there was any land on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean, Christopher Columbus decides to act. He gathered some men, invited them to go on board his three ships, and set out across the dangerous waters of the Atlantic Ocean. He was successful in finding land, but it was not India. The result of his action was that the arguments came to the end.
Any young man who wishes to do research must be courageous enough to question old beliefs and do some original thinking about them. Although we seem to know so much, there are many things we don’t know. Even when we pull an atom to pieces, we do not really know what the pieces are, we often do not reach the reality behind what we discover, and the more we learn, the better we realize our ignorance.
小题1:Christopher Columbus decided to set out his trip because he wants to ________
A.travel round the world |
B.bring words into action |
C.discover the truth with action |
D.bring the argument to an end |
A.the more ignorance we will become |
B.the more brilliant we are |
C.the more confident we are of ourselves |
D.the more we know about our ignorance |
A.men who do not believe in others but themselves |
B.those who work hard and dare to break way from old ideas |
C.those who can make improvements on other people’s work |
D.men who work extremely hard in following their teachers |
A.the Atlantic was dangerous to get across |
B.India was to the west of the Atlantic |
C.There was land on the other side of the Atlantic |
D.it was possible sail to India by crossing the Atlantic |
