Born in Austria without arms and legs, 30-year-old Nick Vujicic has become an international symbol of success. His inspiring You Tube videos have been watched over 100 million times. On the show Oprah’s Life Class, Nick talked about his road to self-acceptance.

For years, Nick was hated and laughed at. When he was ten years old, he even attempted suicide(自杀). After years of feeling worthless and lonely, Nick?s awakening came while reading an article about a disabled man who had

refused to let physical limitations stop him. At that moment, Nick said he discovered the power to take control of his life --- and he has.

He now surfs and plays golf and soccer. He?s traveled to 44 countries with his message of hope. “Even the worst part of your life can help you toward the good,” he said.

Oprah asked Nick how he was able to take what the world might look at as a “bad hand” and changed it into a source(源头) of strength. “Being born without arms and legs --- it?s all about choice,” he said. “You asked me what it was. I had parents who alw ays encouraged me and said, …You can either be angry for what you don?t have or be thankful for what you have. Do your best, and God will do the rest.? I knew that I could be unstoppable.”

Online education has become the latest trend and the best choice among education choices. At present, most universities and colleges offer online classes. They generally outsource(外购) their Internet education facilities to a company which specializes（专门研究）in hosting Internet education. These are the companies which mainly carry out the tasks of running the online classes, providing facilities for connection between the teachers and the students, managing exams, and so on. All that a student requires is just a computer with a good Internet connection. But online education classes have advantages as well as disadvantages. So we should have a look at both sides of the coin.

The first advantage is that people have enough time not only to study but also to spend on other activities. For people who have suddenly stopped their studies for some personal or other reasons and still want to complete their education, but are too busy in their present work, this is the best way to manage time. So, this method of education gives some flexibility(灵活性) to the students. Secondly, when you choose the traditional form of education, your choices of schools and universities can be very few. Not all people can consider going to another country simply for education.

As for the disadvantages of online classes, there are some. The biggest one among the disadvantages is that there is very little deep interaction(互动) between the students and the teachers, as well as between students. There are many things that teachers usually teach a student besides the syllabus(教学大纲), but people who take online classes miss those important lessons. Secondly, the cost of online classes is sometimes greater than that of traditional(传统的) classes. Online education requires a number of expensive items like a computer and an Internet connection.

51. What tasks do the companies that specialize in hosting Internet education perform?

①Running online classes. ②Providing Internet facilities.

③Hosting speeches on education choices. ④Managing exams.

A. ①②③

B. ①②④

C. ①③④

D. ②③④

52. According to the passage, what is one of the advantages of online education classes?

A. Students have very few choices of universities.

B. Students can manage their time flexibly.

C. Students can go to another country for education.

D. Students can stop their studies at any time.

53. What is the main idea of the last passage?

A. A comparison(对比) between traditional classes and online education classes.

B. The main characteristics(特征) of online education classes.

C. The reason why the costs of online education classes are high.

D. The disadvantages of online education classes.

54. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. A simple introduction to online education classes.

B. The influence that online education classes have on students.

C. Advice on taking online education classes.

D. The development of online education classes.

五、任务型阅读（共5小题；每小题1分, 满分5分）

阅读下面短文，在表格内的空白处填入合适的答案(每格限填一词)。

“What are you not learning in the classroom?” I met this question yesterday from an 18-year-old student. I realize there are really several important lessons that cannot be fully taught in the classroom.

Unimagined, real-world life experiences

The richest experiences are not in achieving something, but in looking for them. They are all about the pursuit(追求) and what you learn about along the way --- the moving.

The most important reason for moving from one place to another is to see what is in between. In between is where passions are realized, love is found, strength is gained and memories are made. You can?t get any of that without first-hand living.

Actually staying positive(乐观的) when times get hard

Even the happinest people have bad days. The reason why they are able to keep happy is that they know bad times are short-lived.

The weight of mistakes and the pain of failure fuel(助燃) their happiness instead of dragging them down. These bad things make them wiser and stronger. In any situation, how you deal with your circumstances (环境) actually matters a lot. You can?t direct the wind, but you can always adjust(调节) your sails.

Self-forgiveness(自我原谅) after a big mistake

There is a big difference between knowing you should forgive yourself and actually doing it. It?s easy to say so, but it?s a completely different practice to sincerely carry it out after you make a big mistake --- it takes rules, strength and lots of self-love. Unless you let it go, you can?t move forward.

Keeping a healthy balance

Life is an endless act. There will always be more than one choice competing for your time. Your power finally lies in your small daily choices, one after another. Without balance, everything falls out of place.
