That chance to listen as many times as necessary makes a difference. Back in the days when students came to class, they hear what the teacher says. They rely on the notes that they take away from it and they type it. With the lectures on iPods and on-line discussion forums when requested by students, pupils grasp the material more quickly.
And there may be additional benefits for shy students. They actually begin to shine in an on-line environment. in the online world, they're able to create thoughts, write them down, and post them to class where they can be a full participant.
According to some expert, this technology is d0ing more than giving students the flexibility to listen and learn anytime, anywhere; instead it's empowering them as education consumers, and colleges and universities are paying attention. Nowadays, they need to focus on the student experience and make the entire teaching experience not about the professor giving their lectures. It's about how can schools reach out to the students in a way that meets their needs, since so many of today's students are not "traditional learners" any more.
According to the passage, what is applied in teaching today？
A．Music.
B．Image.
C．Entertainment.
D．Digital devices.

Everyone agrees a system that is feeling the strain after rapid expansion needs a lot more money--but there is little hope of getting it from the taxpayer and not much scope for attracting more finance from business.
Most colleges believe students should contribute to tuition costs, something that is common elsewhere in the world but would mark a revolutionary change in Britain. Universities want the government to introduce a loan scheme for tuition fees and have suspended their own threatened action for now. They await Dearing' s advice, hoping it will not be too late--some are already re ported to be in financial difficulty.

The chief concern of British universities is ______.
A．how to tackle their present financial difficulty
B．how to expand the enrollment to meet the needs of enterprises
C．how to improve their educational technology

A 2008 study by two Harvard economists notes that the "labor-market premium to skill"—or the amount college graduates earned that's greater than what high-school graduates earned—decreased for much of the 20th century, but has come back with a vengeance (报复性地) since the 1980s. In 2005, the typical full-time year-round U.S. worker with a four-year college degree earned $50,900, 62% more than the $31,500 earned by a worker with only a high-school diploma.
There's no question that going to college is a smart economic choice. But a look at the strange variations in tuition reveals that the choice about which college to attend doesn't come down merely to dollars and cents. Does going to Columbia University (tuition, room and board $ 49,260 in 2007 — 08) yield a 40% greater return than attending the University of Colorado at Boulder as an out-of-state student ($35,542)？ Probably not. Does being an out-of-state student at the University of Colorado at Boulder yield twice the amount of income as being an in-state student ($17,380) there？ Not likely.
No, in this consumerist age, most buyers aren't evaluating college as an investment, but rather as a consumer product—like a car or clothes or a house. And with such purchases, price is only one of many crucial factors to consider.
As with automobiles, consumers in today's college marketplace have vast choices, and people search for the one that gives them the most comfort and satisfaction in line with their budgets. This accounts for the willingness of people to pay more for different types of experiences (such as attending a private liberal-arts college or going to an out-of-state public school that has a great marine-biology program). And just as two auto purchasers might spend an equal amount of money on very different cars, college students (or, more accurately, their parents) often show a willingness to pay essentially the same price for vastly different products. So which is it？ Is college an investment product like a stock or a consumer product like a car？ In keeping with the automotive world's hottest consumer trend, maybe it's best to characterize it as a hybrid (混合动力汽车); an expensive consumer product that, over time, will pay rich dividends.
What's the opinion of economists about going to college？
A．Huge amounts of money is being wasted on campus socializing.
B．It doesn't pay to run into debt to receive a college education.
C．College education is rewarding in spite of the startling costs.
D．Going to college doesn't necessarily bring the expected returns.

Passage Two Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
There are few more sobering online activities than entering data into college-tuition calculators and gasping as the Web spits back a six-figure sum. But economists say families about to go into debt to fund four years of partying, as well as studying, can console themselves with the knowledge that college is an investment that, unlike many bank stocks, should yield huge dividends.

D．Going to college doesn’t necessarily bring the expected returns.
Section C
One student skipped a class and then sent the professor an email message asking for copies of the leaching notes. Another didn’t like her grade and sent a petulant message to the professor. Another explained that she was late for a Monday class because she was recovering from a party. One professor received a message from a student, saving, 'I'm not sure how to shop for school supplies. Should I buy a binder or a subject notebook？ Please tell me what you recommend.
At colleges and universities, email has made professors more approachable, but many say it has made them too accessible. They say that students seem to view them as available round the clock, and send a steady stream of email messages—from ten a week to ten after every class—that are too informal or simply inappropriate. Michael J. Kessler, a lecturer at Georgetown University, says. 'The tone that some of them take in an email is pretty astounding. "I need to know this and you need to tell me right now. " It’s a fine balance to accommodate what they need and at the same time maintain a level of legitimacy as an instructor. We are authorised to make demands on them, and not the other way round.
Professor Patricia Ewick of Clark University, Massachusetts, said ten students emailed her drafts of their papers days before they were due, seeking comments. Ewick says, ‘It’s all different levels of presumption. One is that I'11 be able to drop everything and read 250 pages two days before I’m going to get fifty of these. ‘Robert B. Ahdieh, an associate professor of law, said he had received emails with messages such as, ‘You’re covering the material too fast, ‘or, ‘don’t think we’re using what we read as much as we could in class, ‘or, 'I think it would be helpful if you would summarise what we’ve covered at the end of a class in case we missed anything.
While once professors expected deference, their expertise seems to have become just another service that students, as consumers, are buying. So students may have no fear of giving offence or imposing on the professor’s time. Many professors say they are uncertain how to react to these emails. For example, the professor who was asked about buying the notebook said she debated whether to tell the student that this was not a query that should be directed to her, but worried that, ‘Such a message could be pretty scary, ‘and decided not to respond at all.
Most, professors, however, emphasized that instant feedback is sometimes invaluable. One professor said that questions about a lecture or discussion could indicate ‘a blind spot’—something that a student obviously didn't understand. Others have probably hit on the best solution by making rules for email; telling students how quickly the professor will respond, how messages should be drafted and what type of messages they will answer. Meg Worley, an assistant professor of English , tells students that they must say thank you after receiving a professor’s response to an email. ‘The less powerful person always has to write back, ‘she said.
Summary
In higher education, professors are now more【71】______than they used to be because of email. The problem is that some students either write too many emails or write emails that are【72】______(too informal or stupid) . Kessler says he doesn’t like the【73】______of the emails he receives. Ewick thinks that students these days expect too much, and seem to think their teachers have lots of free time Ahdieh received criticisms of his classes by email. A lot of professors are【74】______about how to respond to these emails. Some professors have solved the problem by making【75】______about the email students send them.
