Ⅰ.阅读理解
Laptop computers(笔记本电脑)are popular over the world. People use them on trains, airplanes, at airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to the workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere. Within five years, each of the 1,500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their family. However, the more important thing 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.
Because of the changes in computer technology, laptops used in higher education, such as colleges and universities, are workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition the portable computers 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 are testing laptop programs at other universities as well.
At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use the computers. The laptops will allow teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, we are in the middle of Virginia and we are giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.

II.七选五
Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary, however. 1 Here’s how to become a top student.
Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. First decide your time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. 2 Yet it will force you to realize what is hap to your time.
Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but to study materials. No games, radios or televisions! 3
Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. 4 Taking notes will help you remember what the teachers said.
5 When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, reading that material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.
