2、 (后备箱). Mr. Johnson“s car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney, Kent, after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately, the water began to come in only slowly,“ Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn“t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the win
3、dows because I knew water would come flooding in.“ Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn and hammering on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape. Later he said, “It was really a haft penny th
4、at saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.“ It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the samples from th
5、e boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench (扳手) and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled clear as the car filled up.“
6、His hands and arms cut and bruised (擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby, where he was looked after by the farmer“s wife, Mrs. Lucy Bates.

However, nearly all require some break in one“s career in order to attend school at full time. Part-time education, that is, att
12、ending school at night or for one weekend a month, tends to drag the process out over time and puts the completion of a degree program out of reach of many people. Additionally, such programs require a fixed time commitment which can also impact negatively on one“s career and family time. Of the man
13、y approaches to teaching and learning, however, perhaps the most flexible and accommodating is that called distance learning. Distance learning is an educational method which allows the students the flexibility to study at his or her own pace to achieve the academic goals which are so necessary in t
14、oday“s world. The time required to study may be set aside at the student“s convenience with due regard to all life“s other requirements. Additionally, the student may enroll in distance learning courses from virtually any place in the world, while continuing to pursue their chosen career. Tutorial a
15、ssistance may be available via regular airmail, telephone, facsimile machine, teleconferencing and over the Internet. Good distance learning programs are characterized by the inclusion of a subject evaluation tool with every subject. This precludes the requirement for a student to travel away from h
16、ome to take a test. Another characteristic of a good distance learning program is the equivalence of the distance learning course with the same subject materials as those students taking the course on the home campus. The resultant diploma or degree should also be the same whether distance learning
17、or on-campus study is employed. The individuality of the professor/student relationship is another characteristic of a good distance learning program. In the final analysis, a good distance learning program has a place not only for the individual student but also the corporation or business that wan
18、ts to work in partnership with their employees for the educational benefit, professional development, and business growth of the organization. Sponsoring distance learning programs for their employees gives the business the advantage of retaining career-minded people while contributing to their pers

24、 probably most familiar with college dictionaries, often called abridged dictionaries. Although abridged means “shortened“, these dictionaries contain more than 150,000 entries and provide detailed definitions that are sufficient for most college students and general users. College dictionaries also
25、 contain separate lists of abbreviations, biographical and geographical names, foreign words and phrases, and tables of measures. Webster“s New Riverside University Dictionary and the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language are college dictionaries. Unabridged dictionaries contain as ma
26、ny as 500,000 entries and provide detailed definitions and extensive word histories (etymologies). These dictionaries, possibly in several volumes and mostly found in libraries, are excellent sources for scholarly inquiries. Unabridged dictionaries include the Oxford English Dictionary and the Rando
27、m House Dictionary of the English Language. A dictionary entry has many elements: multiple definitions, syllabication, preferred spelling and pronunciation (some words have more than one acceptable spelling and pronunciation), and part-of-speech labels. Some entries also include plurals and capitali
28、zed forms, synonyms, antonyms, and derivatives. Americanisms and etymologies may be provided along with usage notes, cross-references, and idioms. If you prefer using the dictionary on a computer, you can obtain CD-ROM versions of many major dictionaries. In addition, you can access numerous diction
29、aries, such as Merriam-Webster“s Dictionary, on the Internet. Online dictionaries allow you to enter a search word (you even get help with spelling) to see a definition, and sometimes even an illustration. Online dictionaries also offer additional features, such as word games, language tips, and amu
30、sing facts about words. Some online dictionary services allow you to access numerous dictionaries, both general and specialized, in no search. Specialized dictionaries provide in-depth information about a certain field. For example, there are dictionaries for the specialized vocabularies of law, com
31、puter technology, and medicine. In addition, there are dictionaries of synonyms, cliches, slang, and even regional expressions, such as the Dictionary of American Regional English (DARE).

42、xplain that there“s a big difference between “being a writer“ and writing. In most cases these individuals are dreaming of 2 and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You“ve got to want to write,“ I say to them, “not want to be a writer.“ The reality is that writing is a 3 , private and p
43、oor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never 4 .

Most 1 (signi
47、ficance) of these items in the desk is his journal, which has been filled with 2 (create) writing.

As I watch my brother throw out some papers, I realiz
