22、How to be a successful online student
While regular schools still exist, the virtual classroom plays an important role in today's learning community.
【1】
Be able to communicate through writing
In the virtual classroom nearly all communication is written, so it is necessary for students to express themselves in writing. Some students have limited writing abilities which need to be improved. This usually requires more practice from these students. Whether working alone or in a group, students share ideas on the subject being studied, and read about those of their classmates. 【2】
Be willing to ‘speak up’ if problems arise
Remember that teachers cannot see their students in an online course. 【3】 If they face technical difficulties or problems, they MUST speak up; otherwise there is no way anyone can know something is wrong. If one person does not understand something, possibly several others have the same problem. While explaining something others, students strengthen their own knowledge about the subject.
Take the program seriously
【4】 In fact, many students say it requires much more time and effort. Requirements for online courses are not less than those of any quality program. Successful students, however, see online learning as a convenient way to receive their education - not an easier way. Many online students sit at computers for hours at a time during evenings and on weekends in order to complete their assignments.
Be able to think ideas through before replying
Providing meaningful and quality input into the virtual classroom is an essential part of online learning. Time is given to allow for careful development of answers. 【5】 Many times online students will not always be right, they just need to be prepared to accept a challenge.
A.Be open - minded about sharing experiences.
B.In this way, students gain great insight from their classmates.
C.Online learning is not easier than study in regular classrooms.
D.However, online students require unique qualities to be successful.
E.Testing and challenging of ideas is encouraged.
F.Students can keep the online environment open and friendly.
G.This means students must make their comments and requests clearly.
23、For some people, income, fame, and a good work-life balance are the most important aspects when choosing a career (职业) path.【1】. Looking for a job where you can make a difference? Here are some choices worth exploring.
Emergency services
Whether you choose to join the police, ambulance, or fire and rescue service, there are plenty of roles in this field.【2】. You’ll never have a boring day at work, but you’ll also have to deal with a lot of pressure and stress on a regular basis since a job as a first responder is both mentally and physically demanding.
【3】
Caring for those in need can give you a sense of purpose and help you connect with people on a deeper level, so it’s a very rewarding job. But this career path can be equally demanding, stressful, and exhausting. Empathy, patience, compassion, great communication skills, good observation, initiative, and physical strength are some of the most important caregiver skills and qualities you need in this field.
Charity work
Working for a charity is the very definition of helping and supporting people in need. From working in communications, HR, or IT to choosing a job in administration or fundraising, there are different ways in which you can bring your contribution.【4】.
Social work
【5】. You’ll be working with some of the most weak groups of people in society such as the elderly, children, adults with mental health issues, and so on. You’ll help people deal with challenging situations, which can be both frightening and extremely rewarding.
A.Care giving
B.Nursing and healthcare
C.Thus, you’ll be able to help people
D.It will put you at the forefront of social change and development
E.They allow you to serve your community and make the world a better place
F.For others, the possibility to help others far outweighs the rest of the benefits
G.Besides, charity jobs may also provide free working hours and conditions of employment
24、 Calories are a way of keeping track of the body's energy budget. A healthy balance occurs when we put in about as much energy as we lose. If we consistently put more energy into our bodies than we bum, the excess will gradually be stored as fat in our cells, and well gain weight. If we bum off more energy than we replenish, well lose weight. But how many calories do we actually need? Calorie is just the unit we use to measure the energy we take in or bum.
Calories are used in three ways: about 10% enables digestion, about 20% fuels physical activity, and the biggest part, around 70%, supports the basic functions of our organs. That third usage corresponds to your basal metabolic rate (基础代谢率), a number of calories you would need to survive if you weren't eating or moving around.
According to the official guidelines, average person requires each day 2000 calories for women and 2500 for men. Those estimates are based on factors like average weight, physical activity and muscle mass. So does that mean everyone should take in around 2000 calories? Not necessarily. If you're doing an energy consuming activity, like cycling the Tour de France, your body could use up to 9000 calories per day Pregnancy requires slightly more calories than usual, and elderly people typically have a slower metabolic rate, energy is burned more gradually, so less is needed.
And one thing you should also know. The calorie counts on nutrition labels measure how much energy the food contains, not how much energy you can actually get out of it, Fibrous (纤维的) foods like celery and whole wheat take more energy to digest, so you'd actually absorb less energy from 100 calorie serving of celery than a 100 calorie serving of potato chips. Not to mention the fact that some foods offer nutrients like protein and vitamins, while others provide far less nutritional value. Eating too many of those foods could leave you overweight and malnourished. And even with the exact same food, different people might not get the same number of calories.
So a calorie is a useful energy measure, but to work out exactly how many of them each of us requires, we need to factor in things like exercise, food type, and our body's ability to process energy.
【1】What is Calorie according to the passage?
A.A unit of measurement to the energy people get or consume.
B.The food people eat and digest.
C.The unit for people to count weight.
D.The way people to measure nutrition.
【2】One can lose weight, if________.
A.less food is eaten than before
B.doing exercise every day
C.more energy is fueled than taken in
D.one keeps energy balanced
【3】Which fact is true according to the passage?
A.The excess of calories will gradually turn into cells.
B.Most of the calories will help people with digestion.
C.When staying still no calorie will be needed.
D.The biggest amount of energy will go to support body organs.
【4】The author may agree that________.
A.potato chips are hard to digest
B.the food with more fibers can help keeping slim
C.the foods with protein and vitamins could leave you overweight and malnourished
D.old people's energy is gradually burning fast
【5】The best title of this passage should be?
A.Calories and Diet
B.Many Factors Contribute to Calorie Count
C.The Relevancy between Calorie Burning and Age
D.Different People, Different Calorie Burning Rate

26、阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
During summer vacation when I was twelve, a sawmill (锯木厂) was operating in the woods near our farm. Early each morning, I’d watch the men cut down big trees and saw them into logs. Then they were dragged by two horses named Jack and Billy to the mill. They were gentle, and I petted them every chance I got.
One day, Mr. Davis, the mill owner, said he would pay me 15 cents a day to bring fresh water to the men. I said yes!
One afternoon when Jack and Billy were pulling a log up to the mill, a stick became wedged (塞入) in Jack’s right front foot. After Mr. Davis removed the stick, the horse driver said that the foot should be doctored. But Mr. Davis said he didn’t have time for that. He said if the horse couldn’t work, he’d get one that could.
I felt sick inside. Jack and Billy were my best friends! I couldn’t stop thinking about Jack’s foot and what Mr. Davis had said. For the rest of the day the horses pulled logs from the woods. By nightfall Jack was limping (跛行) badly. Mr. Davis told his crew that the mil would be closed for three days. He offered to pay me a dollar to feed and water the horses while he was gone. I quickly agreed.
The next morning, I rode my bike to Mr. Davis’s mill. I fed the horses their grain and led them to a stream for water, I was sad to see that Jack was still limping. After I led the horses back, I wanted to look at Jack’s foot. I reached down and grabbed the hair on the back of his leg, Jack lifted up his foot so I could see. The part inside of the big iron shoe looked red and swollen. When I put the foot down, Jack let only the front of it rest lightly on the ground.
I knew if Jack couldn’t work with that injured foot, Mr. Davis would get rid of him. I just couldn’t let that happen. But what could I do? I didn’t know anything about medicine, and Mr. Davis said he wouldn’t pay for a doctor.
As I slowly rode my bike home, my mind raced. I needed to find a way to help my big friend. At my house, I saw our neighbor, Mr. Sherman. It occurred to me that he raised horses and knew how to care for them.
注意:
1.写作词数应为150左右;

I told Mr. Sherman all about Jack anxiously.
