　　Laptop computers are popular all over the world．People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels．These laptops connect people to their workplace．In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms．

　　Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want．Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop．The laptops are part of a ＄10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college．The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet．In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to“speak”with their teachers, their classmates, and their families．However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs．They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all!

　　Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable．As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers．In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources．State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students．State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too．

　　At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers．The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons．As one Westlake teacher said,“Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window on the world．They can see everything and do everything．”

　　Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own．My mom was one of those people．

　　My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen．While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life．We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love．Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it．”

At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again．Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough．She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her．A year later, I returned to school － walking on my own!

　　When the Great Depression(大蕭條)hit, my mom lost her job．Then I left school to support the both of us．At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again．

Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success．But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951．I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child．That was too expensive for the average American family．I told my wife that I was going to open a motel(汽車旅館)for families that would never charge extra for children．There were plenty of doubters at that time．

Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters．She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style．As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges．But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed．Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world － Holiday Inn．In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $ 1 billion a year．

　　You may not have started out life in the best situation．But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you．

　　We all know what it is like to be unable to turn your head because of a cold in the muscles of your neck, or because an unexpected twist has made your neck ache and stiff．Your whole body feels tight．The slightest move makes you jump with pain．Nothing could be worse than a pain in the neck．

　　That is why we use the phrase to describe some people who give you the same feeling．We have all met such people．

　　One is the man who always seems to be clapping his hands－often at the wrong time－during a performance in the theater．He keeps you from hearing the actors．

　　Even worse are those who can never arrive before the curtain goes up and the play begins．They come hurrying down to your row of seats．You are comfortably settled down, with your hat and heavy coat in your lap．You must stand up to let them pass．You are proud of your self-control after they have settled into their seats…Well, what now…Good God, one of them is up again．He forgot to go to the men’s room, and once more you have to stand up, hanging on to your hat and coat to let him pass．Now, that is“a pain in the neck”．

　　Another, well-known to us all, is the person sitting behind you in the movies．His mouth is full of popcorn; he is chewing loudly, or talking between bites to friends next to him．None of them remain still．Up and down, back and forth, they go－for another bag of popcorn, or something to drink．

　　Then, there is the man sitting next to you at a lunch counter smoking a smelly cigar．He wants you to enjoy it too, and blows smoke across your food into your mouth．

　　We must not forget the man who comes into a bus or subway car and sits down next to you, just as closes you will let him．You are reading the newspaper and he leans over and stretches his neck so that he can read the paper with you．He may even turn the paper to the next page before you are ready for it．

　　We also call such a person a“rubber-neck”, always stretching his neck to where it does not belong, like neighbors who watch all your visitors．They enjoy invading your privacy．People have a strong dislike for rubber-necks．They hate being spied upon．

(1)

閱讀理解

　　Be sure to book a table if the restaurant you choose is an expensive or a popular one．You will feel embarrassed to show up without booking and having to wait for a table, leaving very bad impression on your friend, especially your girl friend．Also, be sure to check to see if you need to be properly dressed and tell your friend ahead of time what to wear．

　　When your food arrives, proper dining manners make you eat at a right pace so that you have time to talk．A good measure of how fast you should eat is to count 10 seconds between each mouthful and it’s bad manners if you eat too fast and then spend the rest of the time watching your friend eat．

　　Don’t make noise when having soup and chewing, or chew with your mouth open．

　　Your napkin(餐巾)should be placed on your lap at all times．Don’t put it in any other place．If you have to get up, place it neatly on your seat．

　　When eating, put your fork straight in your mouth．Don’t place your fork in the side of your mouth as it increases the chances of dropping your food, which could be very embarrassing．If you get food stuck in your mouth, don’t pick it out with your fingers or fork at the table．Excuse yourself and go to the restroom and get it out with a toothpick．

　　When dining, keep your eyes on your friend at all times and try to smile between mouthfuls．Sometimes, you should make an effort to show some interest and ask questions like,“How do you like the beef?”If she needs, you are the one who is supposed to flag down the waiter by a gentle wave of the hand until someone notices you．
