Question

The fast development of technology(技术) has made many changes in our daily life. For the students in a public high school in Philadelphia, the change is really great. Their so-called “the School of the Future” opened recently with the help of Microsoft Corp. The combination(结合) of the latest technology and teaching methods makes it the focus in the world.

It takes the local government $63 million to build this “one of the most advanced high schools”. It is free and has no entrance exams(入学考试). All the 170 students are picked by drawing lots（抽签）from 1,500 applicants（申请者）. 95% of the students are blacks and about 85% are from low income families.

In the school, the students still sit in classrooms, but they work on their laptops(轻便电脑). Instead of textbooks, their lessons rely mostly on information found on the Internet. Students can learn at their own steps. They do their homework on computers and send it to teachers for marking. Parents can check their children’s study online at home.
