17.Laptop computers (笔记本电脑) are popular all over the world.People use them on trains and planes,in airports and hotels.These laptops connect people to their workplace.In the United States today,laptops also connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia is the 10th school across the country to join IBM ThinkPad University.ThinkPad University is a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want.
Beginning this fall,Westlake College will give laptop computers to each new student.Within five years,each of the other 1,500 students at the college will receive a laptop,too.The laptops are part of a $ 10 million computer program at Westlake,a 110-year-old college.The students with laptops can surf to the Internet.In addition,they will be able to use e-mail to"speak"with their teachers,their classmates and their families.However,the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs.They can work with it at home,in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all!
IBM started its ThinkPad program three years ago.The computer company hopes to double the number of schools using laptops to 20 in the near future.Because of many changes in computer technology,laptop use in higher education,such as colleges and universities,is workable.As laptops become more popular,they become more similar to desktop computers.In addition,the laptops can connect students to not only the Internet,but also libraries and other resources.State higher education officials are studying how laptops can help students.State officials also are testing laptop programs at other universities,too.
At Westlake College,more than 60% of the teachers use computers.The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons.As one Westlake teacher said,"Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window.They can see everything all over the world.

In the Autumn of 1665,there(17)B a young man sitting under an apple tree in his garden.His name was Newton.While he was thinking of one problem,suddenly,an apple dropped down from the tree and fell on his head.(18)Athis,Newton discovered gravitation*on that day and his new idea of science made people really(19)Dand happy,also he changed our opinions about nature and the way(20)Awe think,then people began to(21)Bwhat science was at that time.

(25)A he has died,people remember him and miss him,because he made our life more colorful and amazing.
