  INDEPENDENCE

  Most people in the US believe that independence is very important.They do not think of themselves as representatives of their families, communities, or social class.Students think those who depend on their family are dependent.Teachers expect students to be independent, to work alone, and to produce original work.

  EQUALITY

  The Declaration of Independence states,“All men are created equal.”In many ways, people believe this; you can see equality in such common practices as waiting in line.When you go to the bank or to the post office, you will be asked to take a number and wait.No matter how important you are, you will be treated like anyone else; first come, first served.You can also see equality in the classroom.All students are the same in the eyes of the professors.Similarly, professors sometimes ask students to call them by their first names.

  PUNCTUALITY(准时)

  Many people in the US are very punctual and organize their activities around schedules.Being late is rude.If you cannot be on time.tell the people who are waiting for you.For business appointments, you should arrive a few minutes early.For social appointments, you should arrive 10-15 minutes after the appointed time.

  MATERIALISM(物质主义)

  Success in the US is often measured in dollars.Many people in the US think more about money and material possessions than people in other countries.As a result, you may think that people ignore those more important things in life, like love and friendship.This is not true:like people in every country, most people in the US still value friendship or love more than wealth.

Dear College Dean

It is my understanding that this college has received a large donation to be used to improve the quality of life for students: expand the bookstore or add computers to the computer lad. It is the tradition of his school to promote education and to be the pioneer of new technology. That is why I strongly argue in favor of the addition of more computers to the computer lab.

Although expanding the campus bookstore to include CDs, gifts, and a snack bar will give a nicer look to the college, we have to think about a greater goal and a more practical way to enhance the quality of life for students. What do we want for our students and our college? Do we want our college to be known as a place with a great bookstore where you can find CDs and gifts, or as a place where the students can explore and research in their field using the best tools provided by technology? In addition, there are already several snack bars on campus, and there are music stores nearby, so students do not depend on the college bookstore for these things.

We live in a highly technological world and computers play an increasingly important role in how we live. As a learning institution, this college has the responsibility to offer its students the best technology to help them prepare for their future. Many students will be expected to be familiar with the latest software and other tools when they go on to work or to graduate school.

While they are in college, students find they are expected to use computers. Many professors expect students to use computers to do homework or to complete projects. Students are asked to create PowerPoint presentations and use spreadsheets and database programs, as well as to research many topics on the Internet. Since students are competing for good grades, those who have limited access to computers are at a great disadvantage. Furthermore, being able to do projects using the computer enhances the process of learning, giving students the opportunity to find information that without a computer would be much more difficult to find.

If there are more computers, students will also be able to complete their work more efficiently. No more will they have to wait in line, paper and disk in hand, while scanning the room for an empty chair and computer. No longer will they have to sit and wait while an outdated computer struggles to follow their commands. Having more new and faster computers available will enable students to finish their work more quickly.

The more computers are used in society the more colleges will depend on them as a tool of teaching and learning. Making computers more available to students facilitates their learning process by making the process easier, more interesting, more engaging, and in the process enhancing their quality of life

The purpose of the author in writing the passage is         .

A.to describe the problems caused by lack of computers

B.to explain why students are in great need of computers

C.to tell us what benefits students can gain from computers

D.to persuade the Dean to purchase more advanced computers

From the passage we can infer that          .

A.present computers in the college cannot meet the demands of the students

B.computers in the college will be updated to meet the student's demands soon

C.the college has the responsibility to help the students to prepare for their future

D.it is also necessary to expand the college bookstore by using part of the donation

In paragraph 4, the author mainly wants to tell us that         .

A.computers are beneficial to students' academic success

B.computers are helpful to student's competition for success

C.students find it convenient to do assignments by using computers

D.students wish to use the money to buy more advanced computers

Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?
