One of the advantages of online classes is that you are able to enter your classroom when it is convenient for you. Do you work all day? Then you can log on (登录) to your class in the evening or at the weekend. Are you an early riser? You can log on to your class in the early morning

If you can’t remember what your teacher said, all you have to do is to reread his or her lecture. In most cases you will be able to get a copy of the lecture. You will be able to review your teacher’s lecture

even getting online again.

Students’ interaction

Online students may find it to talk with each other face to face. discussion forums (论坛) and chat rooms provide some ways for student interaction, they do not provide the social connection of an on-campus class.

We have to say, the disadvantages to be an online student are clear. For example, the teachers can’t help you face to face. They won’t praise your work orally (口头).

An advantage is the fact that some students are shy. They are more willing to speak out their to ask their teacher a question by email. They will feel more comfortable with this online interaction.

Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met , yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.

After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything seen through the dirty window was unclear. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”

One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside. Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible (看得见的). Her window was clean!

Then I realized that I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching her window through my own dirty window.

That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcoming?

Since then, whenever I want to judge someone, I will ask myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?”

Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.

at the beginning of the twentieth century,traffic篇九：英语阅读理解及改错练习

At the beginning of the twentieth century, many people thought that the American family was

falling apart. A century later, we know that this was not the case. However, although the family is

still alive in the United States, its size and shape were very different 100 years ago.

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, there were mainly two types of families in the United States:

the extended and the nuclear. The extended family usually includes grandparents, parents, and

children living under the same roof. The nuclear family consists of only parents and children.

Today there are many different kinds of families. Some people live in “traditional” families, that is,

a stay-home mother, a working father, and their own biological children. Others live in

two-paycheck families, single-parent families, adoptive or foster families and so on.

What caused the structure of the family to change? In the 1930s and 1940s, many families faced

serious financial problems during the Great Depression and women were choosing to go to college

and take jobs outside the home. As a result, the birthrate began to fall and the divorce rate began to

rise. During World War II (1939-1945)，5 million women were left alone to take care of their

homes and their children.Because many men were at war, thousands of their wives had to go to

work outside their home.

During the next ten years, the situation changed. There were fewer divorces, and people married

at a younger age and had more children than the previous generation. It was unusual for a mother

to work outside the home during the years when her children were growing up. The traditional

family seemed to be returning.

In the years between 1960s and 1990s, there were many important changes in the structure of

the family. The divorce rate doubled and the birthrate fell by half. The number of single-parent

families doubled, and the number of couples living together without being married doubled

again. If we can judge from history, however, this will probably change again in the twenty-first

century.

All the World Asks

On my first day in a college Classroom, I felt like an overgrown child returning to civilization

after having been lost in the forest for thirty years. There I sat, old enough to be a father to most of

the students in the room, yet insecure enough to be their baby brother. We were crowded elbow

（肘）to elbow, listening to a professor who looked even younger than the students. I felt awkward

and out of place as the professor carefully explained what she expected us to learn. As I listened, I

couldn„t help but think of my own oldest daughter who was now beginning her freshman year in

college, just like me. I recalled (回忆) how hard I had tried to instill (逐步培养) self-confidence in

her and my other children. So why did I suddenly feel like a scared child myself? When I walked

out of that classroom, I had serious doubts about my ability to make it through college. Not until

late that night did my thinking change. It was a long-distance telephone call from my daughter, my

fellow college freshman, that did the trick. She spoke on the phone about the doubts, worries, and

anxieties she was experiencing. She was certain that she „d never succeed at college. How familiar

her worries sounded! In my most self-assured parental voice, I said. ―Doing your best is all the

world asks.‖ The next day in class, those words still echoed in my head. When the professor

posed(提出) a question for the class, nobody, including me, dared answer. When I looked around

at the fear and uncertainty on the young faces in that room, I knew exactly what I had to do: my

best, That„s all the world asks. So I raised my hand, and the professor called on me. I spoke. 1.The main purpose of the writer in writing the story is to _______________.

[A]tell us how he overcame his self-doubt and anxiety as a college freshman

[D]talk about the time when a class had students of very different ages

2.What have you learned about the writer as a student?

[A]He was a college freshman who came from the remote country. [B]He went to the same college where his daughter goes.

[C]He was an average student who continued to study after bringing up his family.

[D]He was a student and at the same time a parent taking care of his children. 3.When the writer says ―that did the trick‖, he means_________________.

[A]the telephone call worked to help him change his thinking

[B]his daughter played a trick on him by pretending to leave college

[C] the telephone call reminded him of his previous school experience

[D]his daughter„s difficulties made him realize his parental responsibilities

At the beginning of the twentieth century, many people thought that the American family was falling apart. A century later, we know that this was not the case. However, although the family is still alive in the United States, its size and shape were very different 100 years ago.

In the late 1800s and early 1900s, there were mainly two types of families in the United States: the extended and the nuclear. The extended family usually includes grandparents, parents, and children living under the same roof. The nuclear family consists of only parents and children. Today there are many different kinds of families. Some people live in “traditional” families, that is, a stay-home mother, a working father, and their own biological children. Others live in two-paycheck families, single-parent families, adoptive or foster, families, blended families (where men and women who were married before marry again and combine the children from previous marriages into the new families），child less families, and so on.

What caused the structure of the family to change? In the early 1900s the birthrate began to fall and the divorce rate began to rise. Women were suddenly choosing to go to college and take jobs outside the home. In the 1930s and 1940s, many families faced serious financial, or money problems during the Great Depression, when many people lost their jobs. During World War II（1939-1945)，5 million women were left alone to take care of their homes and their children. Because many men were at war, thousands of these "war widows" had to go to work outside their home.

During the next ten years, the situation changed. There were fewer divorces, and people married at a younger age and had more children than the previous generation. It was unusual for a mother to work outside the home during the years when her children were growing tip. Families began leaving cities and moving into single-family homes in the suburbs. The traditional family seemed to be returning.

In the years between 1960s and 1990s, there were many important changes in the structure of the family. From the 1960s to the early 1970s, the divorce rate doubled and the birthrate fell by half. The number of single-parent families tripled, and the number of couples living together without being married doubled again. In fact, the single-parent household, once unusual, has replaced the "traditional" family as the typical family in the States. If we can judge from history, however, this will probably change again in the twenty-first century.

The Changes of the American Family

（二）

Some people believe that greed and selfishness has become the basis of modern society, and we should return to the old traditions of family and community then we will have a better life. To what extent do you agree or disagree with the above opinion?

In this fast-paced world, many values are undergoing major changes. While people traditionally prioritize caring, sharing and generosity in life and work, modern people seem to be more self-absorbed and self-concerned.

Modern people act selfishly to survive the harsh competition of life. They say that it is a jungle out there. To survive, you have to fight with whatever means that come handy. Obviously greedy and selfishness go perfectly well with such ideas. In a company, employees do everything they can to get better pay and higher position, even at the cost of colleagues. We are in any way advocating any selfish conduct. It is just that people are pressured to act in a certain way due to outside influences.

In spite of common practice, it is hard to conclude that modern society is built on greed and selfishness, both of which are not newly invented vocabulary. In ancient times people also did greedy and selfish things though such behaviors were more condemned then. But we

can not ignore the fact that people in the past lived a relatively more isolated life and faced less pressure compared with their modern counterparts.

Are we happier to share with others and be generous to them? There is no fixed answer either. Some people take great pleasure helping and giving to others while others feel happy doing the opposite. But I personally think that people should not be too selfish. Caring for others can actually encourage the development of a mutually beneficial relationship.

In conclusion, modern people appear to be more self-centered than those in the past due to strong outside pressure. However, we should encourage people to know the importance of being caring and generous and to build a mutually beneficial relationship with others.
