Missing this bus means ___________back home on foot

You will go to college some day and college is one of the most exciting stages of one’s life.If you wish to make the most of your campus(校园) experience and become a better person after those four years，then first you ought to make friends.Close friends contribute to your self?growth for they provide you with moral support that is so important to survive the stressful college life.Friends can lend a helping hand when necessary like collecting your homework when you’re too sick to leave your dorm，and help you develop the right attitude by pointing out to you your weaknesses.

Being home most of your life and then suddenly finding yourself on your own in a large campus without your parents to hold your hand can be annoying.However，rather than thinking about your missing home too much，why not see this new stage in your life as an opportunity for self?growth and develop the right attitude that will prepare you for the rigors of post?graduation life，particularly when you join the workforce?

Special?interest clubs or organizations are great for self?growth.Here，not only do you get the opportunity to meet with like?minded people，you can also discover more things about your field of interest.Club meetings usually include lively discussions，so go there with the right attitude.You should try to build a good name in the organization by being respectful，active and considerate to others.

You might not like all of your professors，but they are there to provide knowledge you need to be successful in your chosen field.Thus，show up for each class with the right attitude and determination to learn.Whether you get along well with your professors or not has a huge effect on your self?growth as it is a measure of how well you can respect authority and obey requirements.

Actively participating in a class debate(辩论) or lecture contributes to your self?growth as it helps you build confidence in speaking up and improves your communication skills.It also helps you develop the right attitude by exercising diplomacy(外交术) when you choose your words carefully especially when discussing a very politically sensitive issue and exercising patience when dealing with classmates who shoot down your ideas.

Imagine a classroom missing the one thing that's long been considered a necessary part to reading and writing ? Paper. No notebooks, no textbooks, no test paper. Nor are there any pencils or pens, which always seem to run out of ink at the critical (关键的) moment.

A "paperless classroom" is what more and more schools are trying to achieve.

Students don't do any handwriting in this class. Instead, they use palm (手掌) size, or specially-designed computers. The teacher downloads texts from Internet libraries and sends them to every student's personal computer.

Having computers also means that students can use the Web. They can look up information on any subject they're studying ? from maths to social science.

High school teacher Judy Herrell in Florida, US, described how her class used the Web to learn about the war in Afganistan (阿富汗) over one year ago.

"We could touch every side of the country through different sites ? from the forest to refugee camps (难民营)," she said. "Using a book that's three or four years old is impossible."

And exams can go online too. At a high school in Tennessee, US, students take tests on their own computers. The teacher records the grades on the network for everyone to see and then copies them to his own electronic grade book.

A paperless classroom is a big step towards reducing the waste of paper. High school teacher Stephanie Sorrell in Kentucky, US, said she used to give about 900 pieces of paper each week to each student.

"Think about the money and trees we could save with the computers," she said.

But, with all this technology, there's always the risk (危险) that the machines will break down. So, in case of a power failure or technical problems, paper textbooks are still widely available (可用的) for these hi-tech students.

What does the part of the last sentence in the first paragraph, “run out of ink at the critical

moment”, mean?

   A. Pens may not write well at the critical moment.

　 B. Pens get lost easily, so you may not find them at the critical moment.

　 C. Pens may have little or no ink at the critical moment.

　 D. Pens use ink, while pencils don't.

In a paperless classroom, what is a must?

　 A. Pens. B. Computers. C. Information. D. Texts.

The high school teacher, Judy Herrell, used the example of her class to show that _______.

　 A. the Web could take them everywhere B. the Web taught them a lot

　 C. the Web is a good tool for information

　 D. the Web, better than the textbooks, can give the latest and comprehensive (全面的) information

The paperless classrooms will benefit _____ the most.

　 A. students B. teachers C. trees D. computers

What does the phrase in the last paragraph, “break down”, mean?

　 A. Break into pieces. B. Stop working. C. Fall down. D. Lose control.
