Winter break! Two whole weeks without homework－two whole weeks of heaven．Two weeks to relax．I imagined myself getting plenty of sleep．I planned on reading“The Giver”, which I hadn't had time to read．
But soon I noticed something：I couldn't sleep．It would be 12∶30 a. m．and I would be trying to fall asleep．I would begin thinking that I haven't done anything today!
This happened the next night, and the night after．During the day, when I had free time, I would be pacing(踱步)around the room moaning(抱怨)that I had nothing to do! I was eating when I wasn't hungry．I was playing a computer game even though it was boring．
The truth, I concluded, is that relaxation doesn't mean doing nothing．Relaxation means doing something enjoyable．I planned to swim at the local high school．I set up a practice schedule of an hour and a half per day．I decided to read two books that my friend had recommended(推荐)to me．I planned to do a little community service work, volunteering to help at the nearby old people's home for two hours every day．After doing those things, writing e-mails to my friends, watching DVDs and sleeping 12 hours a day, my days are full．And I'm truly having fun relaxing．
Of course, some of my earlier wishes have come true．Being free from school work has taken a load off my mind, helped me to get in perspective(洞察力)and brought me back in touch with my family and myself．Getting so much sleep has done wonders for my state of mind．
After each past winter break, I haven't been able to say what I did, how I used my time．This winter break will be different．I am relaxing by working．

Traveling to work by car gets more expensive today. People can do nothing about the world’s price of petrol(汽油). They have to work, so that they can pay. However, some people are trying to stop driving to work..
People have found out that it is a good idea to ride a bike to work. More and more people return to bikes.
Children often go tot school by bike. But now businessmen are going to work by bike, too. “The bike is easy to use,” says Molly, “and it is also very cheap. It is a good way for those who do business like me. You can buy thirty bikes at the price of a small car. A bike doesn’t use expensive petrol. A 10-year-old child can learn to use a bike. And most bikes can be used for a long time.”
Mr Brown goes to his hospital by bike every day. He says, “A bike doesn’t cost a lot of money, and most families can have two or more ones. Bike-riding is good for our health. Today most people get fat because they don’t get enough exercise. So I tell my patients(病人) to buy bikes. In addition, in big cities it’s usually quicker to travel by bike than by bus or by car.

Park High School can quickly get up just in their clothes for sleeping and go to class in their own bedrooms. Of
course, their teachers and classmates do not see them because all their class work is on the computer.
This school, the state's only online school, has 250 students who are taking classes at home by computer.
"I feel a lot more comfortable at home," says Luke Levesque, a 16-year-old student who is taking a
computer class online. He thinks the school's computer lad is so noisy that he can't study well. "Home is much
better," he says.
When a student is ready to begin a class, he or she turns on the computer, reads the teacher's instructions
(指示), and begins working on the lessons for the day. What happens if a student has a question for the teacher?
Or the teacher wants to say something about the work a student is doing? The student and the teacher can talk
to each other every day through e-mail or by telephone. For example, when Luke opened his daily e-mail from
the teacher, it contained (包含) her instructions for the day's computer lesson. When he finished, he sent his
work back by e-mail to her for correcting.
Is it easy for students to cheat on tests when they're working at home? The teachers have already thought
about this. They make students take their final exams in person in the classroom.
If this first online program goes well, in three years Florida's high school students will be able to take all
their classes by computer. When that happens, students will be able to get their high school diplomas (文凭)
without having to set foot in a classroom.
B. an ordinary high school in Florida
C. in fact Luke Levesque's own bedroom
D. the only online school in Florida
B. his school has not enough computers
C. he can learn what he likes at home
D. he doesn't need to face his teachers
B. through e-mail or by telephone
C. only by telephone
D. only through e-mail
B. All the Florida's high school students can get their diplomas without going to their classrooms.
C. Computers and the Internet will be used more and more widely in school.
D. No students will have to attend school.
