What was school like in ancient times? In Greece, 2,500 years ago, students used to get up at dawn to go to school. Classes began very early and ended when it was dark. Students didn’t rest on the weekends. They had classes seven days a week, so they didn’t have much time for anything else. In Athens, only the sons of rich people went to school, and they started school around the age of seven. After they learned to read and write, they used to study Greek poems and historical works. Music was very important, and physical training was also important. Teachers used to hit

students who didn’t pay attention or were lazy. Girls stayed at home with their mothers and learned how to do housework in the home.

In ancient Rome, boys and girls from wealthy families received a bilingual (双语) education. They had to study Greek and Latin. Students usually had classes outside, if the weather was good, or in the teacher’s house. Young students sat on the floor. Older students used to sit on benches, higher up. That’s how “high school” got its name.

Education was very important to the ancient Aztecs of Mexico. Boys and girls used to attend school, but they were kept in different classes. They learned Aztec history, myths, and rituals, but they memorized (记住) everything because there weren’t any textbooks. The boys received intensive military training, and the girls learned how to manage the home and the family. There were two kinds of schools: one for children of rich families and another for children of ordinary families.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, traffic in big cities such as New York and London became very busy. Carriages, horses, and bikes rushed in every direction (方向), and then they were

by the newest toy of the rich people, the “automobiles (汽车).” In those days, crossing a street used to be a real challenge for people walking. There were no 81 for

drivers. The New York Police Department had to create a special group of policemen to control traffic. Police officers stood at crossroads and tried to direct the traffic, but very often they were

run over by vehicles (车辆). By 1912, New York City had 38,000 motor vehicles. had to be done about all the traffic on the streets!

In 1916, the first traffic tower was in New York, at the crossroads of Fifth

ndAvenue and 42 Street. A traffic officer controlled three 500-watt lamps. They were 40

centimeters in diameter, and they were red, yellow, and green. However, at the time, red traffic in all directions had to stop, yellow stopped only east-west traffic, and green stopped only north-south traffic. This was very confusing, so in 1924 the city adopted (采用) the system used in railroads: red for stop, green for go, and yellow for slow. This system became standard all over the world.

The first automatic traffic lights came into use in Wolverhampton, England, in 1927. Today computers control traffic lights, and road conditions are much better than they used to be. The only

85 is when there is a power cut. The result is often confusion on the streets because the traffic lights don’t work.

Do you want to be an online student? It is important to remember that online education is not right for everyone.

On your time

One of the advantages of online classes is that you are able to enter your classroom when it is convenient for you. Do you work all day? Then you can log on (登录) to your class in the evening or at the weekend. Are you an early riser? You can log on to your class in the early morning

. Your virtual (虚拟的) classroom is open around the clock, seven days a week.

The teacher’s lecture

In an online classroom your teacher’s lecture is written rather than s 88 . There are several advantages. The online classroom is completely different from the real one. If you can’t remember what your teacher said, all you have to do is to reread his or her lecture. In most cases you will be able to get a copy of the lecture. You will be able to review your teacher’s lecture w even getting online again.

Students’ interaction

Online students may find it to talk with each other face to face. discussion forums (论坛) and chat rooms provide some ways for student interaction, they do not provide the social connection of an on-campus class.

We have to say, the disadvantages to be an online student are clear. For example, the teachers can’t help you face to face. They won’t praise your work orally (口头).

An advantage is the fact that some students are shy. They are more willing to speak out their ideas on the discussion forum and are usually more to ask their teacher a question by email. They will feel more comfortable with this online interaction.

D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）:（12分）

Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met , yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.

After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything seen through the dirty window was unclear. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”

One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside. Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible (看得见的). Her window was clean!

Then I realized that I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching her window through my own dirty window.

That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcoming?

Since then, whenever I want to judge someone, I will ask myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?”

Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.

93. How far away was the building next door from the writer’s ?

94. What was the woman doing each afternoon?

95. Why did the writer think that the woman should wash her window?

96. When did the writer find that the woman’s window was clean?

97. The writer learned an important lesson from it, didn’t he ?

98. What can you learn from this story?
