From what Sheila Aaker said in the passage, we can tell . A. business is the most popular major in universities B. colleges should provide more majors for students C. where the similarity between business and colleges lies D. why colleges offer online courses to on-campus students C Tattoosand body piercingshave moved up on the trend list in recent years. Around Western schools lots of teens are sporting new holes and flesh ink. Like all other subjects, we’ll surely be faced with such situation. To get a better view of what has happened in the West, let’s sit down and hear what they say. Kerstin Otto from Washington: The hotter it gets and the more layers of clothing disappear, the more tattoos and piercings appear on various places of the human body, I wouldn’t be caught dead with a snake tattooed on my ankle or with a piece of metal stuck in my belly button. Erin from Indiana: I think body piercing is cool. In most situations, you don’t really have to worry about it getting torn out. I go to Noblesville High School. I am a sophomore(that is the l0th grade). Body piercing can be cool, only if it is not taken to too much of an extent. I would not want to get my nose pierced, just because I think I’ll look bad. But that is my personal opinion. I guess that type of thing is a cultural difference. Tiara from Indiana: I personally think body piercing is sickening. If there were supposed to be holes in your body, you would have been born with them. I do, however, think that ear piercing, is not wrong. There is a difference between ear piercing and belly button piercing. Ear piercing is not nearly as dangerous. I would be sick if someone stuck a needle in my belly button. Lee from Illinois: Hi! I live in Illinois. I am 23. I have 12 tattoos and three piercings. I love my tattoos and consider myself an art collector. You would be surprised at who has given me the thumbs-up on my art work. People on the street stop me to look at that on my leg. Most of them don’t know what it is. They just think the work itself is great. Subotai from California: I’m not prohibitiveof self-expression, but when I see high school students getting these piercings, I really wonder. In some cases, the drive is deeper and darker than mere fashion. A friend of mine tried piercing her own tongue with a safety pin. It got infected and she had a tongue the size of a cow’s. Nagib from Washington: I wanted an earring. My friends had them and it looked like a cool thing. I wanted to get a nose ring, but my mum wouldn’t let me. Now I’m glad I didn’t get it. I just wanted a little stud, but I wouldn’t have looked good with it. Jackson from Ohio: I don’t think it’s wrong, but when people do it all over the place like their face and everything -I think that’s ridiculous. People who get the big dragons that cover your whole body-I don’t think that’s necessary. When I see naked chicks on guys, I think. “You have no respect for women. Brittney from New York: You don’t want to do stuff to your body. You don t need to do that because you were made perfect. You don’t need to add piercings. If it will make you feel beautiful and you really feel like you need to do it for yourself, then okay. If it really makes a big difference impacting your self-esteem and how you are towards others, then do it. But otherwise, don’t mess with what you got. Maybe you should try something more substantialto find beauty in yourself. 查看更多

 

题目列表(包括答案和解析)

Andy Steele lives just a few blocks from the campus of Black Hills State University in Spearfish, S.D., so commuting(经常往返) to class isn’t the problem. But he doesn’t like lectures much, isn’t a morning person, and wants time during the day to restore motorcycles.

So Steele, a full-time senior business major, has been taking as many classes as he can from the South Dakota State system’s online offerings. He gets better grades and learns more, he says, and insists he isn’t missing out on the college experience.

“I still know a lot of people from my first two years living on campus, and I still meet a lot of people,” he says. But now, he sets his own schedule.

At least 2.3 million people took some kind of online courses, according to a recent survey by The Sloan Consortium, an online education group, and two-thirds of colleges offering “face-to-face” courses also offer online ones. But what were once two different types of classes are looking more and more alike and often falling into the same pool of students.

At some schools, online courses originally intended for non-traditional students living far from campus have proved surprisingly popular with on-campus students. A recent study found 42 percent of the students enrolled(登记) in its distance education courses were located on campus at the university that was hosting the online courses.

Numbers vary depending on the policies of particular colleges, but other schools also have students mixing and matching online and “face-to-face” credits. Motives range from lifestyle to adapting a job schedule to getting into high-demand courses.

Washington State had about 325 on-campus undergraduates taking one or more distance courses last year. As many as 9,000 students took both distance and in-person classes at Arizona State last year.

“Business is really about providing choices to their customers, and that’s really what we want to do,” said Sheila Aaker, extended services coordinator (协调人) at Black Hills State.

Many schools, such as Washington State and Arizona State, let departments and academic units decide who can take an online course. They say students with legitimate academic needs---a conflict with another class, a course they need to graduate that is full---often get permission, though they still must take some key classes in person.

46. What is the purpose of the passage?

A. To introduce Steele to us, who prefers online courses.

B. To tell us about the development of campus courses.

  C. To show the differences between campus courses and online courses.

D. To show more on-campus students are taking online courses.

47. We can learn from the passage that Andy Steele _______.

A. lives far from the campus

  B. knows none of his classmates

  C. wants to have his own lifestyle

  D. doesn’t get good marks

48. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

  A. The undergraduates attend the online courses for different purposes.

  B. It is expected that distance education is popular with on-campus students.

  C. About 325 on-campus undergraduates took online courses in Washington last year.

  D. Different colleges have different policies about online courses.

49. From what Sheila Aaker said in the passage, we can tell _______.

  A. business is the most popular major in universities

B. colleges should provide more majors for students
