Florida's E-school attracts many students who need flexible scheduling, from young tennis stars and young musicians to brothers Tobias and Tyler Heeb, who take turns working on the computer while helping out with their family's clam-farming business on Pine Island, off Florida's southwest coast. Home-schoolers also are well represented. Most students live in Florida, but 55 hail from West Virginia, where a severe teacher shortage makes it hard for many students to take advanced classes. Seven kids from Texas and four from Shanghai round out the student body.
The great majority of Florida Virtual Schooler-- 80 percent are enrolled in regular Florida public or private high schools. Some are busy overachievers. Others are retaking classes they barely passed the first time, The school's biggest challenge is making sure that students aren't left to sink or swim on their own. After the school experienced a disappointing course completion rate of just 50 percent in its early years, Executive Director Julie Young made a priority out of what she calls "relationship-building," asking teachers to stay in frequent E-mail and phone contact with their students. That personal touch has helped: The completion rate is now 80 percent.
Critics of online classes say that while they may have a limited place, they are a poor substitute for the face-to-face contact and socialization that take place in brick-and-mortar classrooms. Despite opportunities for online chats, some virtual students say they'd prefer to have more interaction with their peers.
Students and parents are quick to acknowledge that virtual schooling isn't for everyone. "If your child's not focused and motivated, I can only imagine it would be a nightmare," says Patricia Haygood of Orlando, whose two daughters are thriving at the Florida school. For those who have what it takes, however, virtual learning fills an important niche. "I can work at my own pace, on my own time," says Hackney. "It's the ultimate in Student responsibility."

It is easy to say letters are a (n) 【C1】______ way for family members to 【C2】______ in touch when the children 【C3】______ schools and jobs or 【C4】______ families of their own. But what if you think letter writing is not your strong point? And your long-distance phone bill 【C5】______ a national debt? Here are some advisable thoughts:
Begin a post-card exchange. The message space is small but 【C6】______ is the 【C7】______ of home that counts. And it can be 【C8】______ . Cards 【C9】______ from the silly to the poetic; from seasonal scenes to famous paintings from art museums.
Operate a clipping service. Envelopes 【C10】______ with news items and cartoons are a welcome sight at mail call. Watch newspapers and magazines for articles that amuse or inform. You might 【C11】______ a few brief comments in a note--soon you might be writing a whole letter. A daughter found a story about the joys (and hazards) of wallpapering a room and sent it to her mother with a written 【C12】______ of her childhood memories of that experience in their own household. She discovered letter writing was easy when she 【C13】______ her own experience.
Send greeting cards which say "thinking of you." Busy young people find this an especially helpful way to fill the spaces between long, catching-up-to-news-letters.
Use little note papers instead of lettersheet. Again, the writing space is small, but your thoughtfulness will be appreciated.
Some organizations sell cards and notepapers as fund-raisers; for example, UNICEF 【C14】______ money for the United Nations Children Fund with all-occasion cards and stationery designed by famous artists world-wide. This enables your message to do double to contact a loved one with 【C15】______ to a cause.
Send mementos from things you do. A theater program, a movie review from the newspaper--they can put into words that you want to say.
Begin a photo-of-the-month exchange. 【C16】______ the family album or take pictures of family faces and places. A mother sent her son of his childhood photos and found herself writing memories she had never shared. Her son, deeply 【C17】______ , replied: "Send me more of my life history."
Keep a 【C18】______ . An executive wrote a paragraph a day before leaving his office and 【C19】______ the paragraphs at the end of the week to his daughter. "At first it was pretty mundane," he said, "but soon I was looking for interesting things to write about and it became a real dialogue between us."
Remember, it is not a skill with words that 【C20】______ ; it is the sight of an envelope from a family member.
【C1】______
A.effective
B.good
C.fast
D.better
During the weeks since then the pains had come even more frequently, and the narrowed eyes became an al most permanent part of her expression. Always rather sharp, she began losing her temper over little things so that John's father kept his thoughts to himself more and more. John, as ready as possible to make allowance, tried to think what it would be like to have toothache all the time and how bad tempered that you would be.
When did Mrs. Weston go to see her doctor?
A.As soon as she realized that something was wrong.
B.When John asked what was wrong with her.
C.Only when her husband and son advised her to.
D.A long time after the trouble began.

听力原文: When John Weston awoke that morning, he remembered that his mother was going into hospital. He hadn't worked out quite what was wrong with her. He knew, though, that she hadn't been well for some time now, and it had become almost familiar to him to see her eyes narrowed in a sudden attack of pain, and her hand pressing against her heart. Their own doctor, who he has had finally gone to for advice, had sent her to a specialist who knew all about these things. He had told her that just as soon as there was a bed for her, she would have to come into his hospital, where he could look after her himself.

听力原文: When Dorcas Hankin went into the hospital her 19-year-old son Christopher stole her car and sold it for seven days of extravagant life. When the pohce told Dorcas her car had been stolen, she went into shock.
"I just knew Christopher had done it. He'd been threatening to do it for ages. He said the money would be his compensation for an unhappy childhood."
"I knew I had to tell the police, but I couldn't face the thought of shopping my own son. It took me two days to pluck up the courage. But it was the only way to make him stop and think about what he was doing with his life. I also had to take him to court because that was the only way I could claim insurance."
Christopher was given 120 hours of community service and he's now living back at home with his mother. But why would she forgive him so readily?
"Because I do feel guilty about Chirstopher's childhood. Christopher's dad and I split up when he was three and later I remarried. My new husband didn't like having children around, therefore, we sent the boy to a boarding school. But Christopher came home soon. By then I was divorced and he really began to manipulate me. He'd get jobs and quit after two days, saying he couldn't stand authority, then he'd expect me to give him the money to go out.
"I don't earn a lot, but I just couldn't seem to say no to him because I felt the way he'd turned out was partly my fault."
Christopher says:
"I love my mother but I feel angry with her for staying with that man all those years. She should never have married someone who disliked children so much."
"I suppose I've been able to manipulate her in recent years because of her guilt, but what teenager doesn't ?'
"She lets me live with her as she can't bear to see me on the streets but somewhere to sleep is all that she'll give me."
