The traditional classroom still is a popular vehicle for helping higher learning. Growing in attention is the ability to access institutions of higher education by other 41 .Distance learning can be defined in several ways. It can be classes taken 42 the Internet, Web TV, cable TV, correspondence course, audio conferencing, CD-ROM, videotape or any other mechanism that allows a student to learn without traveling to a traditional classroom. The increase of these types of programs allows many people who might not 43 be able to participate to obtain college degrees. People in rural areas, people who are home-bound, or people whose schedules just dont allow them the freedom to attend scheduled classes can all 44 these programs. Just to make it clear, there are not “get-you-diploma-if-you-send-us-$29.95” 45 . In this feature we are addressing only those programs that are approved and provide the opportunities for people to obtain college and 46 degrees in a non-traditional manner. People are, however, required to work for their degrees. There are books, lessons, assignments, papers to write, homework, and exams. There is interaction with teachers on a regular basis, and there is usually interaction with other students on a project or work group basis.Corporate America has found that distance learning is a more efficient and cost effective way to 47 training to employees. According to the United States Distance Learning Association, “Faced with retraining 50 million American workers, Corporate America is using distance learning, both internally and externally, for all 48 of training. Many 49 corporations save millions of dollars each year using distance learning to train employees more effectively and more efficiently than with conventional methods.”III.

Now Copenhagen, the countrys capital, has become the center of the world political map, with 190 world leaders attending the climate talks there, not to mention thousands of reporters.Just how much do you know about the Scandinavian country?Denmark is famous for its design culture. At the heart of “Danish Design” is the idea that, as poet and designer Piet Hein puts it: “There is one art, not more, nor less, and that is to do all things with artlessness（朴实）.Danish design places equal emphasis on practicality and equality. From Lego toys to furniture, Danish products are known for their clean lines, simplicity and functionality. “Remove material where its not needed. Keep things simple and functional and execute（制作） them carefully,” explained Hans J. Wegner, the first Danish designer to achieve worldwide fame: “The aim is not to create a work of art, but to produce a good chair.”“The Danes have done a better job than most in promoting arts in Europe, packing a punch（用力出击） way above their countrys size and population in the fields of architecture, sculpture and design,” writes Helena Smith, reporter with British newspaper the Guardian.The simplicity of Danish design may extend to the quality of life there. Some even claim that the Danes have the highest quality of life of any nation in the world.Kate Vial, a 55-year-old American who has lived and worked in Denmark for more than 30 years, explaining why she chooses to live in Denmark rather than the US, told Germanys biggest news weekly Der Spiegel: “I just chose a simpler lifestyle, one where I could ride my bike all over and where I dont have to make a great living to survive.”74.

Who should bear the responsibility?Several netizens went to the Tencent company on November 30, accusing it of failing to protect their accounts. They had had their QQ Show avatars clothes and other items stolen. One person lost 1,800 virtual items, worth 60,000 yuan, reported Southern Metropolis Daily. But Tencent said netizens needed to turn to their local cyber police department for help.However, Guo Qing, lawyer of Beijings Yingke Law Firm, said: “If the companies involved cant prove theyve done enough to protect the virtual property, they should bear responsibility.”In recent years, there has been much talk about virtual property.Players get virtual property from Web games. By engaging in various activities, they get in-game items and virtual money, which be bought and sold within the game.Today, virtual property is a billion dollar world industry. Web games like Secondlife, Entropia and World of Warcraft have their own currencies, which can be bought with hard cash. And players can make money by trading in virtual houses or setting up clothing stores.But today the protection of virtual property still remains a new concept in China, with the law having little to say about the problem. Local police often think virtual property has no real value.But it does have value, some experts say, because players spend time, energy, money, labor and intelligence getting in-game goods. For this reason, they argue that Copyright Law should protect virtual property.Other Chinese experts say Internet thieves should be punished according to the Criminal Law. Wang Xiaoquan, a young netizens in Shenyang, was sentenced to three years in prison by the local court for theft of 100,000 yuan worth of virtual property in May.The protection of virtual property in law has become a trend.In Taiwan, virtual property is regarded as “movable property” in crimes of fraud and theft, and considered as part of ones private property.
