However, nearly all require some 1 in one"s career in order to attend school full time. Part-time education, that is, attending school at night or for one weekend a month, tends to drag the 2 out over time and puts the completion of a degree program out of reach of many people. 3 , such programs require a fixed time commitment which can also impact 4 on one"s career and family time. Of the many 5 to teaching and learning, however, perhaps the most flexible and accommodating is that called distance learning. Distance learning is an educational method, which allows the students the 6 to study at his or her own pace to achieve the 7 goals, which are so necessary in today"s world. The time required to study may be set aside at the student"s convenience with due 8 to all life"s other requirements. Besides, the student may 9 in distance learning courses from virtually any place in the world, while continuing to pursue their chosen career. Tutorial assistance may be 10 through regular airmail, telephone, fax machine, teleconferencing and over the Internet. Good distance learning programs are characterized by the inclusion of a subject 11 tool with every subject. This precludes(排除) the requirement for a student to travel away from home to take a test. Another characteristic of a good distance-learning program is the 12 of the distance-learning course with the same subject materials as those students taking the course on the home campus. The resultant diploma or degree should also be the same whether distance learning or on-campus study is e mployed.

阅读理解。 Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. | When the Internet powerhouse Yahoo wanted to teach ethics(道德标准) to its employees, it faced a challenge familiar to multinational companies. Yahoo employs nearly 14,000 people at 25 sites worldwide. They would feel bored at sitting down in front of a dated video in which actors with 1980s haircuts tell them what to do. So it hired a company calledThe Network <> to design a game. In the game, the truck where Yahoo was founded traveled the world, turning into a boat and a helicopter along the way as it visited some of Yahoo"s foreign offices. Participants play in game show-like scenarios(场景) that quiz them about conflicts of interest and doing business fairly. And employees note: Yahoo is tracking how well they do. Such activities draw more enthusiastic participation and teach more effectively than traditional methods. They are described as alternative-reality games (ARGs), involving both interactive and real-world elements. Besides teaching employees, ARGs have also been used in many areas for a number of different purposes. From a marketing perspective, a number of very successful ARGs have been written as a way to build product awareness. A very popular ARG called I Love Bees was produced to market the 2004 video game Halo 2 <>. At its height, I Love Bees received between two to three million unique visitors over the course of three months. ARGs are more than just a fun way to learn. They have also been used to solve real world problems. An ARG called World Without Oil <> was created to obtain collective input from players about dealing with the world"s dependency on oil. World without Oil simulates(模拟) the first 32 days of a global oil crisis and anybody could play by creating a personal story that recorded the imagined reality of their life in the crisis. World Without Oil"s success on a small budget has opened the door for similar games to engage mainstream Internet users with climate change, education reform, governmental policy and other timely, vital issues. (Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.) | 1.What challenge did yahoo face in teaching ethics to its employees? 2.In the game designed for yahoo, participants had to answer questions about ________. 3.What are the three major functions of ARG mentioned in the passage? 4.The success of World Without Oil <> suggests that ARGs can ________. | 阅读理解。 | When doctors urge overweight kids to pick up more activities,reading probably isn"t what they have in mind.Yet a new study by fatness researchers at Duke University finds that the simple act of reading-depending on the choice of material-can cause weight loss in teenage girls. The study"s experimental group included 31 fat girls aged 9 to 13,who took part in the Healthy Lifestyles Program at Duke Children"s Hospital.The girls read a novel called Lake Rescue,whose protagonist (主人公) is an overweight teenager who struggles with low selfesteem,feelings of loneliness and teasing because of her size.A group of 33 girls read a different book called Charlotte in Paris, which did not have an overweight character,and another group of 17 girls read neither book. At the end of the sixmonth experiment,all the girls who read books had lost weight,but the girls who read Lake Rescue lost more.They lowered their body mass index (BMI) by 0.71,compared with 0.33 in the Charlotte group,an average 0.05 increase among the nonreaders. The idea behind the study,says Dr Sarah Armstrong,director of Healthy Lifestyles,was to find a way to encourage the girls without adopting the restrictive and often authoritative voice of so many other nutrition and diet programs.Lake Rescue was the perfect instrument,says Armstrong;it presentsa likable character to whom the girls could relate and whom they could learn from.As the book progresses,its protagonist learns to make healthier lifestyle choices and finds an advisor to help keep her on track.Armstrong says,"She learns that she can become healthier,and the "I can do it" feeling resonates (产生共鸣) with the teenage girls." | 1.What"s the main idea of the passage? | A.There are different ways to help overweight kids lose weight.
