32、e, we sat down to Cornish chicken with rice. He tried to enjoy the meal but seemed disturbed. Twice he got up and went outside, saying he thought he heard a noise.

44、eat qua ntity. The Flixborough fireball was the fault of man ageme nt - product ion was going on duri ng esse ntial repairs.

51、ry important role in everybody s life. We go to school because we want to know more about the world around us. The typical classroom used to be the place where teachers and students were working and exploring the wonderful world of kno wledge together, but now everythi ng has cha nged. The Intern et

52、 is one of those approaches. Lear ning via the Internet is a new style that seems to become successful tha n the traditi onal teach ing. The In ternet provides schools with a large amount of lear ning material that is accessible to students online. Owing to the choices of courses online, completing

53、a program becomes much easier. Weused to go to the library when we needed information and spend hours searching for the right sources.

In classroom-based education there is a limitation on the number of stude nts while Internet educati on is available to every o

57、ne. Stude nts don t have to struggle in order to register for classes they like. Students will have more choices to take their courses and classes online. The Internet offers a won derful opport unity to obta in kno wledge in a more convenient and less expe nsive way. In my opin io n, on li ne life

58、in the future is simply in escapable. 61. Which of the followi ng stateme nts is NOT true? A. The Internet offers schools abundant lear ning materials. B.
