19、rofessor 36 me to do so. She said, “Now it is the time for you to travel around the world, 37 your knowledge through actual experiences and have fun?” I 38 her.Since I started to work for a 39 company, however, I have done most of my traveling through the Internet. By using the Internet, I have seen

20、 the 40 of many cities on my computer screen. And I have really made business 41 , too.

24、ake our daily 53 more fruitful. However, we should never let it 54 our time for face to -face communication.

I told him that I couldnt do it. He asked, “Why not?” I paused, and then I said, “Because Im edu

29、cable mentally retarded (可教育智能遲滯).” He came from behind his desk and looked at me. “Dont ever say that again. Someones opinion of you does not have to become your reality,” he said. It was a very special moment for me. Doctors said that I was educable mentally retarded in the fifth grade, and I was

30、put back into the fourth grade. When I was in the eighth grade, I failed again. But Mr Washington changed my life. This person always gave students the feeling that he had high expectations of them, and then all of the students did their best to live up to what those expectations were. He often said

31、, “You have greatness within you.” One day, I caught up with him in the parking place and said, “Mr Washington, is there greatness within me, sir?” He said, “Yes, Mr Brown.” “But what about the fact that I failed English, math, and history? What about that, sir? Im slower than most kids.” “It doesnt

32、 matter. It just means that you have to work harder. Your grades dont determine who you are or what you can produce in your life.” “I want to buy my mother a house.” “It is possible, Mr Brown. You can do that.” And he turned to walk away. “Mr Washington?” “What do you want now?” “Uh, Im the one, sir

33、. One day youre going to hear my name. Im the one, sir.” School was a real struggle for me. Mr Washington put many demands on me. He made me believe that I could do it. At the end of that year, I was on the honor roll for the first time in my life. Years later, I produced five programs on public tel

34、evision. When one of my programs was shown on the educational television channel, I had some friends call him. I was sitting by the phone waiting when he called me. He said, “May I speak to Mr Brown, please?” “Oh, Mr Washington, is that you?” “Yes, its me. You were the one, werent you?” “Yes, sir, I

Students get more instructional time, and activities that used to take up class time are now held on non-

41、school days. He says that in the future, the growth of online classes could make it possible to require even fewer days in school. High fuel prices are driving college students to take more online classes.A four-day school week sounds like a great idea for students and teachers, but working parents

42、may have to pay for child care for that fifth day.60. According to Tim Creal, what makes it possible to have even fewer days in school? A. The increasing number of private tutors.(私人教師) B.
