Adult Basic Education (ABE) Preparation

Task

The ABE Department serves a huge population of learners. Our task is to teach basic skills and help learners to get more knowledge to function effectively as a family member, citizen, worker, and lifelong learner in a changing world.

Description

ABE Is a non-credit program of self-improvement designed to improve basic skills for students who are of different educational levels. Development of reading, writing, and math skills are paid special attention to, as well as life skills, employability, and technology. Students without a high school diploma also have the opportunity to prepare for the GED (General Equivalency Diploma) exams in the five subject areas: writing, social studies, science, literature, and math.

Prerequisites (条件)

ABE classes are open to anyone 18 or over who desires to improve basic reading, writing, and math skills at the pre-college level. Students who are 16 or 17 must obtain an official permission from high school before attending class.

To be accepted, students must attend an Educational Planning Session. During the Educational Planning Session students will be given an overview of the ABE programs as well as PCC policies, fees, etc.

Students will also have their reading, writing, and math abilities assessed (评估> during the Educational Planning Session. The results of their assessments will help the teachers develop individual programs of study for students to guide them toward their personal goals. Students needing special help must get in touch with the Office for Students with Disabilities (503-977-4341) at least two weeks before the session is held.

The days of having to carry a phone charger everywhere could soon be over. Michigan researchers have revealed a major breakthrough in harvesting energy from human motion. They say it could lead to smartphones powered for a week by the motion of a swipe(重击).

Michigan State University’s low-cost device, known as a nanogenerator, has already been tested. Scientists successfully operated an LCD touch screen, a bank of 20 LED lights and a flexible keyboard, all with a simple touching or pressing motion and without the aid of a battery. The groundbreaking findings, published in the journal Nano Energy, suggest “We’re on the path toward wearable devices powered by human motion,” said Nelson Sepulveda, associate professor of electrical and computer engineering and lead researcher of the project.

“What I foresee, relatively soon, is the capability of not having to charge your cell phone for an entire week, for example, because that energy will be produced by your movement,” said Sepulveda, whose research is funded by the National Science Foundation.

Electrical energy is created when the device is compressed by human motion. The completed device is as thin as a sheet of paper. The device used to power the LED lights was palm-sized, while the device used to power the touch screen was as small as a finger. Advantages such as being lightweight, flexible and low-cost could make it a promising and alternative method in the field of Mechanical-energy harvesting.

The device also becomes more powerful when folded. Sepulveda said, “You can start with a large device, but when you fold it once, and again, and again, it’s much smaller and has more energy. Now it may be small enough to put in a specially made heel of your shoe so it creates power each time your heel strikes the ground.”

Sepulveda and his team are also developing technology that would transmit the power generated by the heel strike to, say, a wireless headset.

1.Who is Nelson Sepulveda?

A. The major researcher in the project. B. A professor of engineering.

C. The fund supplier of the research. D. A journalist writing for Nano Energy.

2.The underlined word device in the 2nd paragraph is closest in meaning to ________.

A. keyboard B. smartphone C. screen D. machine

3.From the passage we know that the nanogenerator ________.

A. becomes more powerful when kept flat

B. has already come into market in the USA

C. is lightweight and flexible though expensive

D. makes it possible to produce power by walking

4.The purpose of the passage is to ________.

A. persuade people to buy the device B. bring in a new way to save energy

C. introduce a breakthrough in science D. honor Nelson Sepulveda for his contributions

I was amazed and________when bowls of figs began to fill the fridge.

In a perfectly________world, I don’t deserve the reward. I had________the tree for my own complaints. What right did I have to the fruit? Years later, I put this________to my father.
