Often people use laptops (笔记本电脑) on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.

Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1，500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110?year?old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. Besides, they will be able to use e?mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast?food restaurant or under the trees — anywhere at all!

Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable (可行的). As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. Also, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher?education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.

Driving to a friend's house on a recent evening, I was attracted by the sight of the full moon rising just above

my friend's rooftops.I stopped to watch it for a few moments, thinking about what a pity it was that most city people, myself included, usually miss sights like this because we spend most of our lives indoors.

My friend had also seen it.He grew up living in a forest in Europe, and the moon meant a lot to him.It had touched much of his life.

I know the st December I took my seven?year?old daughter to the mountainous jungle of northern India with some friends.We stayed in a forest rest house with no electricity or running hot water.Our group had campfires outside every night, and indoors when it was too cold outside.The moon grew to its fullest during our trip.Between me and the high mountains lay three or four valleys.Not a light shone in them and not a sound could be heard.It was one of the quietest places I have ever known, a bottomless well of silence.And above me was the full moon, which struck me deeply.

Today our lives are filled with glass, metal, plastic and fibreglass.We have televisions, cell phones, electricity, heaters, ovens, air?conditioners, cars, and computers.

Struggling through traffic that evening at the end of a tiring day, most of it spent indoors, I thought: before long, I would like to live in a small cottage.There I will grow vegetables, read books, walk in the mountains, and perhaps write, but not in anger.I may become an old man there, and wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled and measure out my life in coffee spoons.But I will be able to walk outside on a silent night and touch the moon.

5．The best title for the passage would be ________．

A．Touched by the Moon

A．there was too much pollution

B．he failed to see the full moon

C．he didn't adapt to modern inventions

D．there were many accidents on the road

7．What impressed the writer most in the mountainous jungle of northern India?

A．No modern equipment.

B．Complete silence.

C．The nice moonlight.

D．The high mountains.

8．The author wrote the passage to ________．

A．express the feeling of returning to nature

Youth volunteers from Beijing University visited Songtang Hospital, a care clinic for the aged and dying patients, during the second Global Youth Service Day on April 21.

Thirty student volunteers from the university's School of International Studies sat at the beds of the patients in their specially?decorated “care huts”. They talked with them and gave massages to patients kept in their beds.

“I felt sorry that I could not offer more to these people than talking with them and trying to cheer them up.”said Deng Yetao, 20, a third?year student. “But it occurred to me that they need more care and love than babies. They are afraid of the coming death. Their loneliness is worse than physical pains.”
