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.

about America's colonial (殖民地的) past before this summer.
But now Crole can talk a lot about the settlers (移民者), slavery (奴隶制) and the events that led up to the
American Revolution (美国独立战争). He learned about these subjects at a summer program at the College of
William and Mary, Virginia.
It is a 70-year-old program that gathers high school students from across the US to study early American
history.
"It's been great and a lot of hard work," said Crole. "This is not a subject really taught in England, so I'm
learning a lot of new things."
The program meet from 8 am to 3 pm five days a week. It goes for three weeks. Students go to lectures
and read essays about the time period they are studying. They study history from the founding of Jamestown
through the American Revolution and the Civil War (美国内战).
As well as leaming about history in the classroom, students also take field trips to historical sites. They visit
Colonial Williamsburg, Jamestown and other sites around Virginia. They learn what life was like during that
time.
"We hope the students can really leam something about our early history," said Carolyn Sparks Whittenburg,
director of the program. " We offer the program to kids who love history. A total of 111 students were in the
program this summer, but we hope for more next year."
B. the Civil War
C. the American Revolution
D. American history
B. five days
C. three weeks
D. one month
B. Some students are not quite clear about America's colonial past.
C. Students can take part in the summer program in their high schools.
D. The subject is taught outside the classroom rather than inside.

A week ago, Columbus Middle School asked the parents of their school to choose a sport for their child to play. Here’s some information about the sports.
Sports 1: Basketball
We expect that this will be the most popular of the four sports. So students should sign up (报名) as soon as possible. Students will take a private bus to and from Kwun Tong Sports Park. Each student will have to pay $ 10 each time for the cost of the bus. There will be four basketball courts available for our use with one teacher watching over each game.
Sports 2: Gym
We will use St. Peter’s Park. There are two reasons for choosing this park. First, it is not very busy and crowded before 6:00 p.m. Second, it has lots of trees with plenty of shade. Students must bring along two bottles of water to prevent from being thirsty. All the activities here are free. And there will be a teacher on duty for each activity.
Sports 3: Hiking
Hiking (远足)will be at Kowloon Peak. The activity will start at 2:30 p.m. and finish 90 minutes later. There will be 15 students in each group. And three teachers will be with the students. This sport will cost $ 75 per hour. Students should take plenty of water and sunglasses.
Sports 4: Swimming
The Kowloon City Swimming Centre is a 10-minute walk from our school. Four teachers will go to the pool and watch the students from the poolside. We will only be able to use the pool for one hour (2: 45 p.m. to 3:45 p.m.). Only students skillful at swimming can take up this activity. The pool will have two lifeguards on watch. Girls must wear swimming suits. The cost is $ 15 per visit.
