About 21,000 young people in 17 American states do not attend classes in
school buildings.
Instead, they receive their elementary and high school education by working
at home on computers. The center for Education Reform says the United States
has 67 public “cyberschools(网络学校)” and that is about twice as many as
two years ago.
The money for students to go to a cyberschool comes from the governments
of the states where they live. Some educators say cyberschools receive money
that should support traditional public schools. They also say it is difficult to
know if students are learning well.
Other educators praise this new form of education for letting students work
at their own speed. These people say cyberschools help student
s who were
unhappy or unsuccessful in traditional schools. They say learning at home by
computer ends long bus rides for children who live far from school.
Whatever the judgment of cyberschools, they are getting more and more
popular. For example, a new cyberschools called Commonwealth Connections
Academy will take in students this fall. It will serve children in the state of
Pennsylvania from ages five through thirteen.
Children get free equipment for their online education. This includes a
computer, a printer, books and technical services. Parents and students talk with
teachers by telephone or by sending emails through their computers when
necessary.
Students at cyberschools usually do not know one another. But 56 such
students finished studies at Western Pennsylvania Cyber Charter School recently
met for the first time. They were guests of honor at their graduation.

The Right Way to Sit
If you are writing or studying, it makes very much difference where the light comes from. People who use books and pens every day have to be specially (特殊地) careful about the way the light shines on their work.
Every house gets its light either from daylight through windows which is the very best to use or from the lamps or electricity; but whichever (无论哪个) kind of light it is, the way it slants (倾斜) towards our books or our work is a matter of great importance to the eyes.
Take a book, stand with your back toward the window, and try to read. Your shadow falls all over the page and makes it almost as bad for your eyes as if you were in a dark room.
Now turn around and face the window. The page is in the shadow again, while the bright light is in your eyes.
Try standing with your right side toward the window. This is very good for reading, but if you were writing, the shadow would fall across the page and bother (干扰) you a little.
There is just one other way: stand with your left side to the window. Now everything is perfect (完美的) for reading and for writing, too.
Whatever (无论什么) kind of light is in the room, the rule about the right way to sit is always the same.
