Traditional colleges and universities have developed distance learning programs to accommodate individuals who would not otherwise have the time or funds to earn an advanced degree. Online programs require the same amount of study and work as a classroom program. If you are under the impression that courses offered online will be a walk in the park, think again! Online degree programs are often more difficult than traditional university programs due to the fact the work and study is left up to the student. Time management skills are crucial, since there is not a particular time of the day set aside specifically for study. It may take some time to become accustomed to this method of scholarship, but the pros of online classes may outweigh the cons in your situation. The main difference between online degree programs and traditional higher education is the location of learning. Instead of being confined to a stuffy classroom filled with students, these online classes have a more personal feeling. While many students would be hesitant to speak one to one with a class instructor, online programs find their students more willing to contact their professors via e-mail. This great participation encourages better understanding of the course material. Of course, not attending a class also comes with additional barriers. A student must be equipped with time management skills in order to succeed in an online class. Students that lack the proper time management skills may find themselves overwhelmed with course work at the end of the semester or falling behind in their studies. Whether you choose to attend a traditional college or university or enroll in an online higher education program, the chances of success are equal. In the end, it is up to you in order to complete the course of study and earn your degree. For busy individuals or students wishing to return to school without greatly affecting their everyday lives, an online degree program may be the best option. 共5题 (1)According to the passage, the main difference between online degree programs and traditional higher education is _. 本题2分 (A) the requirement for time management skills (B) the place where students choose to study (C) the tuition students have to pay (D) the knowledge students learn from the class 你选择的答案： B 正确 正确答案：B (2)Which of the following is TRUE about online degree programs? 本题2分 (A) Online degree programs are very easy for most of the students.

Successful and happy distance learners have a few characteristics in common. Compare yourself to the following list to determine whether or not online classes are a good fit for your personality and habits. 1. Successful distance learners do just as well, if not better, without people looking over their shoulder. While some people need teachers to keep them motivated and on-task, distance learners are able to motivate themselves. They realize that they will never be face-to-face with the people who give them assignments and grade their work, but they dont need others to encourage them. The most successful students are self-motivated and set their own goals. 2. Successful distance learners never (or at least rarely) put off their assignments or wait until the last moment to write their papers. These students enjoy the freedom of working at their own pace and appreciate the ability to complete their work in as much time as it takes them, instead of waiting for an entire class. However, they understand that putting off their work too often can end up adding months, if not years, to their studies. 3. Successful distance learners have good reading comprehension skills. While most people learn by listening to lectures and taking notes, the majority of distance learners are expected to master material through reading alone. Although some distance learning courses offer video recordings and audio clips, most programs require that students understand a large amount of information that is only available through written text. These students are able to comprehend texts at the college level without the direct guidance of a teacher. 4. Successful distance learners can resist constant distractions. Whether its the phone ringing off the hook, the kids screaming in the kitchen, or the temptation of TV programs, everyone faces distractions. Successful students know how to filter out the constant disturbances that threaten their progress. They feel comfortable turning down an invitation or letting the machine pick up the phone when they know there is work to be done. 共5题 (1)Which of the following is NOT included in the successful distance learners characteristics? 本题2分 (A) Being self-motivated. (B) Being self-disciplined. (C) Being with good reading comprehension skills. (D) Being easy to distract attention. 你选择的答案： D 正确 正确答案：D (2)If putting off his work too often, what will happen to this student? 本题2分 (A) An entire class will wait for him. (B) The professor will punish him. (C) He has to postpone his graduation. (D) Nothing will happen to him. 你选择的答案： C 正确 (3)The phrase “filter out” in the last paragraph means _. 本题2分 (A) choosing something to learn (B) getting rid of the disturbances (C) working out a plan (D) solving the problem 你选择的答案： B 正确 (4)What we can infer from this passage is that _. 本题2分 (A) distance learners will never refuse the invitation for coming out because they are free (B) only with written texts provided by online class, reading comprehension skills are very important to distance learners (C) traditional learners can enjoy the freedom of working at their own pace (D) even without good reading comprehension, traditional learners still can make progress with the help of teacher 你选择的答案： D 正确 正确答案：D (5)Based on this passage, the author intends to tell us that _. 本题2分 (A) online learning is the perfect option for everyone (B) no one would like to enroll at a traditional school (C) learners must consider whether they have the qualities to attend online classes before making their decision (D) online learning will take the place of traditional school in future 你选择的答案： C 正确 正确答案：C 43. If you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise-and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon. Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down. With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations. Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect and emotion, and determine the human character. (The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.) Contraction of front and side parts was observed in some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty-and-seventy-year-olds. Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age-using the head. The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant. Matsuzawas findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says. “Think hard and engage in conversation. Dont rely on pocket calculators.” 共5题 (1)The team of doctors wanted to find out _. 本题2分 (A) why certain people age sooner than others (B) how to make people live longer (C) the size of certain peoples brains (D) which people are most intelligent 你选择的答案： A 正确 正确答案：A (2)What are their research findings based on? 本题2分 (A) A survey of farmers in northern Japan.
