　?、?閱讀理解(8 min.)When I was fourteen years old, I was hired for an after-school job selling subscriptions (訂閱) to my hometown paper,

　　Even though I was often scrambling (moving with difficulty) around after dark in bad areas searching for tatty (簡(jiǎn)陋的) apartments, ecially a kid trying to get them to buy something. One time, a man slammed his door in my face and screamed, 揑 don't want the damn paper.?I forced myself to knock again and was able to tell him how great the paper was. I ended up selling him a subscriptiD.on. I was soon among the top subscription sellers and like other successful salesmen, was given responsibility for training newcomers.

　　Around this time, I started playing the harmonica (口琴) and the guitar. Before long I was playing in a band at chill (紅辣椒) cooking competitions and other events. When I turned 18, I focused my attention on becoming a professional musician. I never lost sight of this dream. I'm sure my perseverance came from what I learned knocking on strangers' doors.

　　That experience helped me in many ways. Early in my music career I was locked in a legal dispute with a former manager. He pressured me to back off from the job, but I refused.

　　Having all those doors slammed in my face as a kid gave me the strength to stand up to this intimidating (令人生畏的) figure. Except this time there was one difference: I was the one saying no. And I won.sman.

　?、?閱讀填空(10 min.) E-learning is essentially the computer and network-enabled transfer of skills and knowledge, whose content is delivered via the Internet, audio or video tape, satellite TV, and CD-ROM.

　　E-learning dates back to the early 1960s when Stanford University psychology professors Patrick Suppes experimented with using computers to teach math. As early as 1997 William D. Graziadei published an article which described developing an overall strategy for technology-based course development and management for an educational system. Today people are using many technologies in e-learning, blogs and virtual classrooms included.

　　There are different types of e璴earning that are available. Some educational experts suggest that different ty pes or forms of e-learning can be considered as a continuum, from no e-learning, i．e. no use of computers or the Internet for teaching and learning, through classroom aids, such as making classroom lecture Powerpoint slides available to students and through a course website, to laptop programs, where students are required to bring laptops to class and use them as part of a face璽o璮ace class, e to mixed learning, where classroom time is reduced but not eliminated, with more time devoted to online learning, to fully online learning, which is a form of distance education.

　　Due to the effectiveness of e璴earning methods, this type of learning methocdology is rapidly becoming popular among schools. By 2006, 3.5 million students had participated in learning courses through the Internet at institutions of higher education in the United States. Alien and Seamen claim that almost a quarter of all students in post-secondary education were taking fully online courses in 2008, and a report by Ambient Insight Research suggests that in 2009, 44 per cent of post璼econdary students in the USA were taking some or all of their courses online, and some professors pr edicted that this figure would have been doubled by 2024. Thus it can be seen that e-learning is moving rapidly from the margins to being a predominant form of postsecondary education.

　　E璴earning has created a new paradise in education and it has greatly bcomplemented our traditional methods and thus it has brought students a lot of advantages. We expect much more growth in adoptions of it in schools.
