One state, Michigan, now requires all students to have an online learning experience before they finish high school. Even the idea of a school has changed since the rise of the Internet in the 1990s.A new report from the Center for Evaluation and Education Policy at Indiana University says eighteen states have full-time virtual schools. There are no buildings. All classes are online. Florida started the first statewide public virtual school in the United States in 1997. Today, the Florida Virtual School offers more than ninety courses. 56,000 students were enrolled as of December. Almost sixty percent were female. The schools Web site says each student was enrolled in an average of two classes. Florida Virtual School has now opened the Florida Virtual Global School. Students in other countries pay for classes. Janet Heiking teaches an English class. She lives in Indianapolis, Indiana. Her students live as far away as Africa and Japan. She says they are taking her Advanced Placement class to prepare for attending an American college. They can earn college credits by passing the A.P. test. So how good are virtual schools? Studies have shown mixed results, as that new report from Indiana University notes. For example, students at Florida Virtual School earned higher grades than those taking the same courses the traditional way. And they scored higher on a statewide test. But virtual school students in Kansas and Colorado had lower test scores or performed at a lower level than traditional learners. Studies also find that virtual schools may not save much in operating costs.Education experts say the mixed results suggest the need for more research to find the best ways to teach in virtual schools. Also, they say schools of education need to train more teachers to work in both physical and virtual classrooms.31. A virtual school is one that _. A. is set up after the rise of the Internet B. uses textbooks as a main teaching resource C. uses computer-based resources and has no teachers D. has online classes and no real classroom32. The first statewide public virtual school in the USA was started in _. A. Florida B. Indiana C. Michigan D. Colorado33. Florida Virtual School is open to _.

A. the majority of virtual school students in Florida are male B. all senior students in Michigan have an online learning experience C. virtual schools are better than traditional schools D. both real and virtual classrooms need more trained teachersCFlying in 2050 is going to be a real pleasure, the manufacturer says, with a 360-degree panoramic view whenever the intelligent cabin membrane （客舱壁）is set on transparent, and a virtual golf course on board. Charles Champion, Airbus head of development point out that some of those dreams are already being carried out and may be launched in as little as 10 years from now.One of the new ideas engineers are currently playing with involves harvesting passenger body heat to meet some of the planes energy needs. Another idea refers to seats with self-cleaning fabrics that adapt to each individual body form. The first, business and economy class system would be abandoned: Its not what people want, Champion says. Instead, there would be individual seating arrangements. The air would be vitamin-enriched, while passengers could enjoy virtual games of golf high up over the clouds, or go shopping and try on the latest fashions in virtual changing cabins. This cabin of the future whose shape was modeled after birds is part of Airbuss total concept for 2050. CEO Thomas Enders says the company expects the demand for aircraft to go up worldwide despite on-going problems faced by many airlines, particularly in Europe. Air travel continues to hold more long-term growth potential than virtually any other sector, Enders said. According to Airbus figures, air travel currently makes up 8%, or 580 billion dollars worth of the European GDP. The sector employs 33 million people worldwide.Airbus engineer Champion says that the three biggest current challenges are that people want flying to be cheap, efficient and environmentally friendly. The sector has to find satisfactory answers to those demands, which is why flying will probably look completely different a few decades down the road. By 2050, the sector will be hauling 9 billion passengers around the world, Champion says.Airbus visions for airports of the future no longer include gates. Instead, planes would roll right up to a station, with passengers boarding quickly through several doors with touch screens for the check in. If Champion sees a sticking point, it concerns the airports themselves. We can come up with all kinds of great stuff, but when a plane has to circle for 40 minutes over Heathrow before landing, a lot of it gets lost.36. According to the engineers, future airbuses will_. A. offer passengers a full view of the sky B. allow people to play golf on board C. provide more sports for passengers D. be most environmentally-friendly37. A passenger in the future airbus can enjoy all of the following EXCEPT_. A. virtual games of golf B. individual seating arrangement C. a first class seat D. vitamin-enriched air38. Which of the following statements would Thomas Enders agree with? A. The cabin whose shape was modeled after birds has been manufactured. B. Air travel contributes more to economic growth than many other industries. C. European airlines are facing fewer challenges than other ones. D. The level of air travel employment is decreasing worldwide now.39. What is implied in the passage? A. Airbus will become the leader of the industry before 2050. B. The changes in Airbus airplanes may meet the need of passengers. C. It is certain that all people will take Airbus planes in 2050. D. Passengers will be completely satisfied with Airbus services soon.40. We can infer from the last paragraph that_. A. airports of the future ought to include more gates B. airbuses will take much more time to get landed C. there should be more doors for passengers to check in D. the airports should change to adapt to the new flying in the futureD.Should people be allowed to use cell phones while driving?Alejandra Pachecho from Venezuela: No. Why not? Because in this world some people drive very crazily. So most people who use cell phones to talk in the car usually pay more attention to what they are talking about than to driving. One of the reasons that I feel this way is that my friend had a car accident while using a cell phone. He lost his life and his friends did, too.Rodrigo Cruz from Colombia: That depends. The disadvantages of using a cell phone while driving are you can call the police if there is a car accident, call for help when somebodys car breaks down, and call when somebody needs something before arriving home or at the office. The disadvantage is that people get distracted when they are driving at the same time they are talking on a cellular phone. It can cause car accidents.Carl Khalid from Saudi Arabia: No. I would recommend if you want to use a cell phone while youre driving to pull over and take your time. You will avoid a lot of trouble. There are many advantages of using cell phones in cars. In emergencies such as accidents, a flat tire, engine problem the cell phone is useful for calling 911 for help. Using the cell phone while driving can save time and hassles, but using it while driving can also cause a lot of problems such as missing a red light or signs, not watching cars, or not paying attention to the speed limit. It causes a lot of problems. All these problems could cause loss of concentration.Mirna Hazim: Yes. A cell phone is helpful; it is one of the most important communication devices. For example, if you want to talk with somebody for an important reason, you can. One time I was coming back from work at 10 o clock at night, and I had a problem in my car. It wouldnt move. I was scared to go into a store to call my brother because I didnt know the places there. I thought it could be dangerous. That night, I found out that owning a cell phone is important.41. Which of the following groups has the same view about using cellphones while driving? A. Rodrigo Cruz and Mirna Hazim B. Alejandra Pachecho and Carl Khalid C. Rodrigo Cruz and Carl Khalid D. Alejandra Pachecho and Mirna Hazim42. According to the passage, Rodrigo Cruz _.
