Looking ahead to 2010, it appears financially impossible to accommodate（容纳）85000 new students in classrooms at four-year universities. Luckily, such a way is not necessary. Indeed, it’s not even proper.
Several forces are riding to the rescue. The two most important are distance learning and community and technical colleges. These will not get rid of the traditional setting where bachelor’s（学士）and graduate degrees are earned. But they will be able to handle much of the growth in enrollments（注册人数，入学人数）and the demand for higher education.
“When faced with a problem created by technology, apply more technology.”a journalist once said. Higher education seems to be an example. New learning technology is an important tool in teaching new technology skill.
William Richardson, president of Johns Hopkins University, praised “Western Governors University” — a virtual institution（虚拟大学）that uses the Internet and other information technology to overcome the vast distances of the West and reach people with education. “Just as the extremely controlled high school of old was perfect training for an assembly-line（装配线）work force, so today’s college is equally proper as a setting for a society whose members must get and manage knowledge from a wide variety of sources.” He noticed.
Eastern Washington has long been a leader in this movement. For the past decade, Spokane’s Education Service District 101 has brought the best teachers in the region to rural classrooms via satellite uplink. Washington Sate University （WSU）president Sam Smith reports that, during the same period, WSU managed one-third increase in students with only 2 percent more faculty（全体教员）.
It’s been done by holding growth at the main campus almost flat, setting up three branch campuses, locating learning at community colleges, and offering an extended degree program where students learn at home. In each case, technology is used to extend the “reach” of faculty.
The other cost-effective strategy is to trust community and technical college. Here Washington State has an edge（优越条件）. Its public two-year colleges provide the most extensive coverage（保证金）in the nation. Jean Floten, president of Bellevue Community College, notes the system served 425,000 adult students last year — a tenth all the state’s adult population. Almost half were there for job training versus（与……相对）40 percent for academic（高等专科院校）preparation.
1．According to the author, to enroll more students, universities don’t have to .
A．enlarge their campuses

A．applying new learning technology
B．using Internet and other information technology
C．teaching new technical skills
D．setting up more technical colleges
3．What has made possible “a one- third increase in students with only 2 percent more faculty”?
A．Technical and community college. B．New advances in science and technology.
C．More learning centers. D．New school curricula.
4．Which way of education is mainly discussed in the passage?
A．Traditional ways. B．Top-ranked universities.
C．Cost-effective strategies. D．Technology-based business.

For several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed much occupied with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighborhood called and sometimes stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal.
During this time, all my knowledge of 
him was limited to occasional meetings about the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.
One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me, “Do you think I’m handsome, Miss Eyre?”
The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: “No, sir.”
“Ah, you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.”
“Sir, I’m sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn’t matter, or something like that.”
“No, you shouldn’t! I see, you criticize my appearance, and then you stab（刺）me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not man
y girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance your few good points.”
I thought to myself that he might have too. He seemed to read my mind, and said quickly, “Yes, you’re right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one, and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man, take my word for it, but I have done wrong. It wasn’t my character, but circumstances that were at fault. Why do I tell you all this? Because you’re the sort of pers
on people tell their problems and secrets to, because you’re sympathetic and give them hope.”
“D
on’t be afraid of me, Miss Eyre.” He continued. “You don’t relax or laugh very much, perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me, and laugh, and speak freely. You’re like a bird in cage. When you get out of the cage, you’ll fly very high. Good night.”

For several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed very busy with business，and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighborhood called and sometimes stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough，he rode out a great deal.
During this time，all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house，when he would sometimes pass me coldly， and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me，because I saw that I had nothing to do with the cause of them.
One evening，several days later，I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair，and looked not quite so severe，and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips， and his eyes were bright，probably with wine. As I was looking at him，he suddenly turned， and asked me，“Do you think I am handsome，Miss Eyre? ”
The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: “No，sir.” “Ah，you really are unusual! You are a quiet， serious little person， but you can be almost rude.” “Sir，I'm sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn't matter，or something like that，” “No，you shouldn't! I see，you criticize my appearance，and then you stab (刺) me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance (抵消) your few good points.”
I thought to myself that he might have too. He seemed to read my mind，and said quickly，“Yes，you're right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one，and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you， and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man，take my word for it，but I have done wrong. It wasn't my character，but circumstances which were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because you're the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to， because you're sympathetic and give them hope.”
It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didn't seem to like to finish the talk quickly，as was the case for the first time.
“Don't be afraid of me， Miss. Eyre，”he continued. “You don't relax or laugh very much，perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me，and laugh， and speak freely. You're like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage， you'll fly very high. Good night.”
