We are for the most pan more lonely when we go abroad than when we stay in our chambers, for solitude is not measured by the miles of space that intervene between a man and his fellows. The farmer, who can work alone all day without feeling lonesome, but must recreate with others at night, wonders how the student can sit alone at night; he does not realize that the student, though in the house, is actually at work in his field and chopping his wood as the farmer was in his.
Society is commonly too cheap: we meet at very short intervals, not having had time to acquire any new value for each other; we meet at meals three times a day and give each other a new taste of that musty old cheese that we are; we live thick and are in each other's way, and I think that we thus lose some respect for one another.
We have had to agree on a certain set of rules, called etiquette and politeness, to make this frequent meeting tolerable; certainly less frequency would suffice for all important and hearty communications between men. It would be better if there were but one inhabitant to a square mile, as where I live, for as the value of a man is not in his skin, we need not touch him.
A person can be more lonely among men than by himself at home because______.
A.loneliness is a state of mind
B.loneliness is not the same as being alone
C.solitude is not measured in miles
D.all of the above

When Harvard student Mark Zuckerberg launched thefacebook.com in Feb.2004, even he could not imagine the forces it would let loose.His intent was to connect college students.Facebook, which is what this website rapid回答ly evolved into, ended up connecting the world.
To the children of this connected era, the world is one giant social network.They are not bound — as were previous generations of humans — by what they were taught.They are only limited by their curiosity and ambition.During my childhood, all knowledge was local.You learned everything you knew from your parents, teachers, preachers, and friends.
With the high-quality and timely information at their fingertips, today’s children are rising normally tame middle class is speaking up against social ills.Silicon Valley executives are being shamed into adding women to their boards.Political leaders are marshalling the energy of millions for elections and political causes.All of this is being done with social media technologies that Facebook and its competitors set free.
As does every advancing technology, social media has created many new problems.It is commonly addictive and creates risks for younger users.Social media is used by extremists in the Middle East and elsewhere to seek and brainwash recruits.And it exposes us and our friends to disagreeable spying.We may leave our lights on in the house when we are on vacation, but through social media we tell criminals exactly where we are, when we plan to return home, and how to blackmail(敲诈)us.
Governments don’t need informers any more.Social media allows government agencies to spy on their own citizens.We record our thoughts, emotions, likes and dislikes on Facebook; we share our political views, social preferences, and plans.We post intimate photographs of ourselves.No spy agency or criminal organization could actively gather the type of data that we voluntarily post for them.
The marketers are also seeing big opportunities.Amazon is trying to predict what we will order.Google is trying to judge our needs and wants based on our social-media profiles.We need to be aware of the risks and keep working to alleviate the dangers.
Regardless of what social media people use, one thing is certain: we are in a period of accelerating change.The next decade will be even more amazing and unpredictable than the last.Just as no one could predict what would happen with social media in the last decade, no one can accurately predict where this technology will take us.I am optimistic, however, that a connected humanity will find a way to uplift itself.
What was the purpose of Facebook when it was first created?
A.To help students connect with the outside world
B.To bring university students into closer contact
C.To help students learn to live in a connected era
D.To combine the world into an integral whole.

Twenty years ago, our classroom was a lot less pleasant.Very old-fashioned.We had fewer window, for example.There were five rows of desks, six desks in a row.Since everything was nailed to the floor, a student sat in the same place all day long.Oh, we had to be very strict.Now students move all over the room.They go to different areas for different subjects, and they write at these movable desks.The students are more mobile, and beca use they’re more mobile, they’re less restless, and because they’re less restless, they are more attentive.At least that’s the theory.And as a matter of fact, we really don’t have many behavior. problems here.
We use a modified open classroom system here at the James.I’ll try to explain what that means.Each student makes a work contract with his teacher.Basically, he agrees to a certain amount of work on a certain project.He hands the work in when he gets it done.He works at his own speed and plans h is own time.If he is particularly motivated in one subject—math, for instance—he can explore the subject more thoroughly than the others.But he must also complete his contract in arts or reading or social science.Freedom within a structured system: that ’s what we are trying to offer.

First of all, living at college gives me a sense of responsibility and of being on my own. My parents aren't around to say, "No, you're not going out tonight," or "Did you finish your homework?" Everything I do has to be my decision, and that makes me responsible for my own life. During the second week I was at college, I had to go out and look for a bank where I could open an account. And when I got to the bank, I had to decide whether to have a checking or savings account and whether or not to get a credit card. Decisions! Decisions! Friendly people are another thing I like about college. On the first day I came to Marymount University here in Virginia from New York, I was a bit confused about where I was going. My mother and I drove in. We did not know the building we were supposed to go to, but the guard was very nice. With a smile, he told us what building we were looking for and where we could park our car. My room was on the first floor of New Gerard, and I knew I had to go through some glass doors, but my mother and I didn't know which ones. Some students saw me and asked, "Are you a new student?" When they found out I was looking for New Gerard, one said, "Oh, just follow us; that's where we're going." Even now I feel comfortable in the dorm because there are friendly people around to talk with.I do like a lot of things about college, but that doesn't mean I don't think about things at home. Although I like college, I can still get homesick. New York is a very good place, too! And sometimes I miss it!

The origins(起源) of baseball probably stretch back to 1839 when Abner Doubleday, a civil engineering student, laid out a diamond-shaped field at Cooperstown, New York, and attempted to standardize(使标准化) the rules governing the playing of such games as town ball and four old cat, the ancestors(祖先) of baseball. By the end of the Civil War, interest in the game had grown rapidly. Over 200 teams or clubs existed, some of which toured the country playing rivals; they belonged to a national association of "Baseball Players" that had proclaimed(宣布) a set of standard rules. These teams were amateurs(业余爱好者) or semi-professionals, but as the game waxed in popularity, it offered opportunities for profit, and the first professional team, the Cincinnati Red Stockings, appeared in 1869. Other cities soon fielded professional teams, and in 1876 the present National League was organized chiefly by Albert Spalding. Soon a rival league appeared, the American Association. Competition between the two was intense, and in 1883 they played a post-season(季后赛) contest, the first "world's series". The American Association eventually collapsed, but in 1900 the American League was organized.
