　　原始寂静：

　　V1(BY: Dflying) 网络教育代替 face-to-face education

　　原题：(相似)

　　“In order to accommodate the increasing number of undergraduate students, colleges and universities should offer most courses through distance learning, such as videotaped instruction that can be accessed through the Internet or cable television. Requiring students to appear at a designated time and place is no longer an fective or ficient way of teaching most undergraduate courses.”

　　为了适应不断增长地本科生数量，大学应该提供更多的远程教育课程，比如可以通过网络或者有线电视得到的录像指导。要求学生在特定时间地点出现不再是教授多数本科课程的有效手段。

　　参考思路：

　　1.distance learning:效果差，教学质量难以保证，学生可能不认真

　　2.studying on campus: atmosphere, access to resources, communication

　　3.传递信息与教学的区别

　　4.distance learning serves as a support, not replacement for traditional teaching

　　原始寂静：

　　V1(BY: yaoqiyancoco) High technology separates and alienates people more than bring they together.

　　原题：

　　Technology ultimately separates and alienates people more than it serves to bring them together.

　　技术最终分离疏远了人们而不是把他们聚在一起。

　　参考思路：

　　1. Technology has made it possible for us to communicate with some people we have no chance to communicate bore.

　　2. Technology enhance the current communication.

　　3. Admittedly, there are some drawbacks that the technology has brought to our communication. However, after weighing the pros and cons, I still believe that the author makes a wrong assertion.

　　参考范文：

　　I believe there is some truth to the speaker’s claim that technology separates and alienates people. However, there is certainly at least as much evidence that technology serves best to bring people together.

　　The most obvious way that technology separates and alienates people from one another is symbolized by the computer nerd (nerd: n. 讨厌的人, 卑微的人an unstylish, unattractive, or socially inept person; especially: one slavishly devoted to intellectual or academic pursuits *computer nerds*) sitting glazed-eyed (adj. 面无表情的, 目光呆滞的) bore his computer screen in a basement, attic, bedroom, or office cubicle. While this scene is a caricature, of course, it’s true that practically everybody who uses email or surfs (transitive senses: to scan the offerings of [as television or the Internet] for something that is interesting or fills a need) the Internet does so alone, with only his or her computer for company (adv. 陪着). And, to the extent that computer use increases the amount of time we collectively spend in solitary activities, it increases the amount of time we spend separated from our fellow humans.

　　On the other hand, technology has been a wonderful aid in bringing people together, or, in many cases, back together. Speaking for myself, I can say that I have become connected with quite a number of people via email with whom I might never have spoken otherwise. These include old friends with whom I had fallen out of (fall out of: v. 放弃[习惯等]) the habit of writing regular letters but with whom I now correspond regularly because of the ease with which email can be sent and delivered.

　　A second way in which the new technology has brought people together is by allowing individuals who have common interests to make contact with one another. It is possible to find people who share one’s interest in nearly anything, from aardvarks (n. [动]土豚) to zippers. Such contacts may be ephemeral, but they can be a great source of information and amusement as well. I would hazard (VENTURE, RISK *hazard a guess as to the outcome*) a guess that for each person who sits neurotically (neurotic: of, relating to, constituting, or affected with neurosis) at home, eschewing personal contacts with others in favor of an exclusive relationship with his computer, there are hundreds of others who have parleyed their email capacity and their access to the Web into a continuous succession of new acquaintances.

　　In sum, it seems clear to me that technology has done more to bring people together than to isolate them.
