4 . Online education has grown fast over the past ten years. The explosion of technology has made teaching outside the traditional classroom possible for teachers and has provided learners with easy access to course materials. Its attractiveness, benefits, and challenges are addressed.

In April, 2005, I was approached by a student who was interested in our doctoral program. However, the first question out of her mouth was, “Do you offer any online courses?” Later that day, as I was reading the conference program guide trying for interesting presentations, I noticed many workshops on web-based learning and online education. I later attended two of those workshops and met several professors from different universities who had either taught online courses for quite some time or who were discovering the best practice for teaching online. These experiences helped me realize at least to some extent the degree of growth in online education.

My responsibilities for the term included gaining more understanding of online education. Consequently, I made several attempts to enrich my knowledge of distance learning and online teaching. I consulted with my colleagues who were teaching online courses. This helped me recognize the importance of getting materials prepared even before the start of a term. I also learned that online courses may consume more time than regular classroom teaching. And I attended several workshops regarding online education and established a network with those who were involved in online programs at other universities. I will consider these people as my consultants as I begin to design my own online course. Also, I conducted a brief survey with 15 students and two faculty members who had taken or taught an online course before to understand their experience. Eventually I completed a literature review which gave me the foundation and the background of understanding the need for online education.

1. What benefits the development of online education?

A．Teachers’ good teaching ability.	B．Lack of traditional classrooms.
C．Learners’ access to free courses.	D．The rapid advance of technology.

2. Why did the author take a student for example?

A．To show students’ love for the doctoral program.

B．To persuade learners of traditional education.

C．To explain the growing trend of online education.

D．To predict the future of the teaching career.

3. What caused the author to know more about online education?

A．The appetite for knowledge.	B．The professional responsibilities.
C．The requirement of research.	D．The colleagues’ encouragement.

4. What is the author’s attitude to online education?

A．Carefree.

B．Doubtful.

C．Supportive.

D．Unwilling.

5 . 阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Nowadays, going to a higher education institution is not the only option one has. The Internet-the place where it is possible to find anything--has become a perfect solution for those who want to learn something new, but have no possibility or desire to go to college. Although online education may not seem to be large enough compared to the traditional one, it possesses a number of solid advantages you should consider.

First of all, online education means comfort. Studying in a college or university often equates to moving to a different city, handing over loads of money, living on campus, and having to go out no matter how horrible the weather outside is Studying online, you get yourself rid of all these disadvantages. Regardless of whether you are at home, on vacation, or having a lunch break in the office, all you need to learn something new is your laptop and an Internet connection.

Secondly, online education is much more affordable than the traditional one. For example, on Udemy, you can find all kinds of educational programs whose prices often stay in the range of $180-200. Coursera, along with regular paid courses, also offers a variety of free educational materials available for everyone. Of course, not all of the online degrees offer cheaper prices, but due to the absence of travelling costs and other factors, studying online proves to be more accessible. Studying materials, as well as other resources, are often included in the price for an online course.

Finally, you can study at your own. Educational institutions have to focus on an average student. The disciplines you will study, the methods of education, teachers, and the academic environment are not yours to choose. At the same time, the Internet gives you the opportunity to study as much as you want, with any teacher or instructor you like. Many courses online have teaching videos. You can watch one per day, or you can finish an entire course in a week-you can do whatever is convenient to you.

So I downloaded an online educational app named Zuoyebang. Since then, I have been using several kinds of such software, for example, Xuebajun and Haofenshu.

10 . About 21,000 young people in 17 American states do not go to classes in school buildings. Instead, they receive their school education by working at home on computers. The Center for Education Reform says the United States has 67 public “cyberschools,” and that is about twice as many as two years ago.

The money for students to go to a cyberschool comes from the governments of the states where they live. Some educators say cyberschools receive money that should support traditional public schools. They also say it is difficult to know if students are learning well.

Other educators praise this new form of education for letting students work at their own speed. These people say cyberschools help students who were unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools. They say learning at home by computer ends long bus rides for children who live far from school.

Whatever the judgment of cyberschools, they are getting more and more popular. For example, a new cybershool called Common-wealth Connections Academy will take in students this fall. It will serve children in the state of Pennsylvania from ages five through thirteen.

Children get free equipment for their online education. This includes a computer, a printer, books and technical(技术的) services. Parents and students talk with teachers by telephone or by sending emails through their computer when necessary.

Students at cyberschools usually do not know one another. But 56 such students who finished studies at Western Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School recently met for the first time. They were guests honor at their graduation.
