Online education has grown fast over the past ten years. The explosion of technology has made teaching outside the traditional classroom possible for teachers and has provided learners with easy access to course materials. Its attractiveness, benefits, and challenges are addressed.
In April, 2005, I was approached by a student who was interested in our doctoral program. However, the first question out of her mouth was, “Do you offer any online courses?” Later that day, as I was reading the conference program guide trying for interesting presentations, I noticed many workshops on web-based learning and online education. I later attended two of those workshops and met several professors from different universities who had either taught online courses for quite some time or who were discovering the best practice for teaching online. These experiences helped me realize at least to some extent the degree of growth in online education.
My responsibilities for the term included gaining more understanding of online education. Consequently, I made several attempts to enrich my knowledge of distance learning and online teaching. I consulted with my colleagues who were teaching online courses. This helped me recognize the importance of getting materials prepared even before the start of a term. I also learned that online courses may consume more time than regular classroom teaching. And I attended several workshops regarding online education and established a network with those who were involved in online programs at other universities. I will consider these people as my consultants as I begin to design my own online course. Also, I conducted a brief survey with 15 students and two faculty members who had taken or taught an online course before to understand their experience. Eventually I completed a literature review which gave me the foundation and the background of understanding the need for online education.
4. What benefits the development of online education?
A. Teachers’ good teaching ability.
B. Lack of traditional classrooms.
C. Learners’ access to free courses.
D. The rapid advance of technology.
5. Why did the author take a student for example?
A. To show students’ love for the doctoral program.
B. To persuade learners of traditional education.
C. To explain the growing trend of online education.
D. To predict the future of the teaching career.
6. What caused the author to know more about online education?
A. The appetite for knowledge.
B. The professional responsibilities.
C. The requirement of research.
D. The colleagues’ encouragement.
7. What is the author’s attitude to online education?
A. Carefree.
B. Doubtful.
C. Supportive.
D. Unwilling.

When 36-year-old J Andy Duran decided to return to his favorite high school hobby—skateboarding, the only trouble he expected to have was his own ability to get back on the skateboard after such a long time. However, the 340-pound skateboarder soon realizedthatwas the least of his problems.
Duran's problems began before he even stepped on a skateboard. He couldn't find anything for fat skaters. What Duran did find was a belief that plus-size people should not be skating. Determined to do something to change the image(形象) of plus-size people in sports, Duran set up Chub Rollz—a skating and skateboarding community for overweight skaters. He knew that not only did he need to get back into it to prove people wrong, but he needed to create a safe space where others can haverepresentation as well.
To encourage plus-size people to take part in the fun sport, Duran created a list of recommended products for fat skaters. He also hosted roller skating and skateboarding classes to teach beginners.
After an article about his thoughts in the San Francisco Chronicle, Duran received lots of messages from strangers thanking him for giving them the courage to take up skateboarding. He has also been contacted by some skateboarding brands offering to create larger clothing sizes and beenoffered free equipment by skating organizations like "Skate Like a Giri ".
Though encouraged, Duran believes a lot more needs to be done to remove body image stereotypes(刻板印象).“I want to see more changes in communities. Maybe skate shops create a more welcoming environment for all types of skaters. Or boards are made in a variety of strengths and sizes—everyone is making thinner, lighter products, but sometimes we need those heavy-duty choices to stay available," he explains.
For those hesitant of taking up their desired activity due to their body size, Duran has this to say:“Be kind to yourself. Just because you don't see it doesn't mean you can't be it.”
8. What does the underlined word "that" in paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The skateboard.
B. His hobby.
C. His ability.
D. The time.
9. Why did Duran found Chub Rollz?
A. To realize his childhood dream.
B. To help plus-size people lose weight.
C. To fight for the equal right for fat people.
D. To change people's impression of the fat in sports.
10. Which word can best describe Duran?
A. Generous.
B. Inspiring.
C. Adaptable.
D. Talented.
11. Which is most likely Duran's belief?
A. Everyone has a gift for sports.
B.No one is too fat to enjoy sports.
C. Fat people do deserve social concern.
D. Skateboarding is most suitable for fat people.
D
Kamikatsu, a small town in Japan, has shown the world that our garbage has far-reaching effects, and not just on our environment.
Theexperiment in going zero waste started when the town built a new incinerator 20 years ago. But almost immediately, the incinerator was determined to be a health risk due to the poisonous gases when garbage was burned in it. It was too expensive to send waste to other towns, so locals had to come up with a new plan. Then the Zero Waste Academy was born, which helped perform this plan.
Now Kamikatsu people separate their waste into 45 different categories. But in the beginning, it wasn't easy to convince local people to do all this work, and there was somepushback. Only after that initial education period did most residents come on board.
This is all great news for waste reduction of course, but it has also had some unexpected social benefits as well. Like much of Japan, Kamikatsu's population is aging, and about 50 percent of the locals are elderly. The fact that the whole community takes their trash in to be recycled has created a local action and interaction between generations.
That idea has been purposefully expanded to include a circular shop where household goods are dropped off and others can take them, and a tableware "library" where people can borrow extra cups, glasses, silverware and
plates for celebrations.
"The elderly see this not as a waste-collection service, but an opportunity to socialize with the younger generation and to chat. When we visit them, they prepare lots of food and we stay with them for a while, we ask how they are," Sakano, the founder of the Zero Waste Academy, said.
Sakano's ideas are truly revolutionary if you think about it. She's proving that community can be found through handling the stuff we no longer want and need.
12. What is mainly talked about in paragraph 2?
A. What harmful effects garbage burning has.
B. Why garbage sorting is necessary in Japan.
C. How the idea of zero waste was put forward.
D. What the Zero Waste Academy functions as.
13. What does the underlined word "pushback" probably mean?
A. Inactive response.
B. Generous reward.
C. Bitter suffering.
D. Beneficial guidance.
14. What is a bonus of the zero waste project?
A. Reducing waste.
B. Creating community.
C. Increasing people's income.
D. Developing a new technology.
15. Which part of a newspaper is this text most likely from?
A. Technology.
B. Health.
C. Workplace.
D. Lifestyle.

Young children learn new words by imitating the speakers around of them. When 3-year-olds hear a new word that catch their interest, they may use it repeated for a day or two until they feel comfortably with it. They establish its meaning from the context, often by trial and error. They add new words to their vocabulary so they need them to make themselves understand. Young children don’t learn the meanings of new words by looking it up. Sometimes they ask adult directly, but more often they simply guess the meanings from the context. They figure out that new words mean by paying attention to how they are used. We grown-ups need to do same.
