14、ir content at us. The Web is two-way, push and pull. In finer point, it combines the one-way reach of broadcast with the two-way reciprocity of a mid-cast. Indeed, its user can at once be a receiver and sender of broadcasta confusing property, but mind-stretching!A second aspect of the Web is that i
15、t is the first medium that honors the notion of multiple intelligences. This past centurys concept of literacy grew out of our intense belief in text, a focus enhanced by the power of one particular technologythe typewriter. It became a great tool for writers but a terrible one for other creative ac
16、tivities such as sketching, painting, notating music, or even mathematics. The typewriter prized one particular kind of intelligence, but with the Web, we suddenly have a medium that honors multiple forms of intelligenceabstract, textual, visual, musical, social, and kinesthetic. As educators, we no
17、w have a chance to construct a medium that enables all young people to become engaged in their ideal way of learning. The Web affords the match we need between a medium and how a particular person learns.A third and unusual aspect of the Web is that it leverages the small efforts of the many with th
18、e large efforts of the few. For example, researchers in the Maricopa County Community College system in Phoenix have found a way to link a set of senior citizens with pupils in the Longview Elementary School, as helper-mentors. Its wonderful to see kids listen to these grandparents better than they
19、do to their own parents, the mentoring really helps their teachers, and the seniors create a sense of meaning for themselves. Thus, the small efforts of the manythe seniorscomplement the large efforts of the fewthe teachers. The same thing can be found in operation at Hewlett-Pack- ard, where engine
20、ers use the Web to help kids with science or math problems. Both of these examples barely scratch the surface as we think about whats possible when we start interlacing resources with needs across a whole region.Questions 1-51.

If there are moral omissions in the society, they cannot be sealed by instan
25、t, slenderly based attacks on entertainment. The plain fact is we are rearranging our priorities in the wrong way.We are today misplacing our energies and our funding by directing all sorts of incentives to high schools and colleges. That is too late. The moral scaffolding has been built by then, fo
26、r better or for worse. How then to begin this revision of life conduct? We must introduce in pre-school, and keep alive through grade five, a new school course.The course could be titled, “What is right, and what is plainly wrong”. For 30 minutes each day, the teacher would illuminate for these very
27、 young children what William Faulkner labeled “the old verities”, the words that construct and implement第 6 页the daily moral grind in which every durable society must engage if it is to be judged a “just” society. These are words like duty, honor, service, integrity, pity, pride, compassion and sacr
28、ifice, plus the clear admonition that violence is wrong. To the teaching of the meaning of those words must be added that cleansing rule of treating other people as you would want them to treat you. And most of all to make sure that these kids understand with growing clarity that home, school and ch
29、urch are the sanctuaries for their later life.There is a grand simplicity to this kind of school course. It enters a childs mind early, burrowing deep into those recesses of the human brain that even today advanced medical science has not been able to penetrate.If you ask enough people, you will fin
30、d that most of us remember our first or second grade teacher. I remember Miss Corbett and Miss Walker, who read to us before we really understood, but the words had weight and allure. We listened and, without really knowing it, we learned and saved what we learned. Perhaps it was because what we hea
31、rd in those early school years was the first entry into our learning vessel.Absent this kind of early instruction, absent the building of this moral shield, no congressional law, no presidential executive order, no fiery rhetoric will salvage a childs conduct nor locate a missing moral core.Question

An equal opportunity affliction, diarrhea has laid low kings and common men, women, and children for at least as long as historians have recorded such fascinating trivial.

Diarrhea remains one of the two most common medical complaints of humanity.“Frequent passage of unformed watery
41、bowel movements,” as described by Tabers Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary, diarrhea falls into two broad types: invasive and non-invasive. From bacterial sources, invasive diarrhea, sometimes called “dysentery,” attacks the lower intestinal wall causing inflammation, abscesses, and第 8 页ulcers that may
42、lead to mucus and blood (often “black blood” from the action of digestive juices) in the stools, high fever, “stomach” cramps from the depths of hell, and significant amounts of body fluid rushing from the patients nether region. Serious debilitation, even death, can occur from the resulting dehydra
43、tion and from the spread of the bacteria to other parts of the body. Non-invasive diarrhea grows from colonies of microscopic evil-doers that set up housekeeping on, but do not invade intestinal walls. Toxins released by the colonies cause cramps, nausea, vomiting, and massive gushes of fluid from t
