25、 us take a broadband Internet connection for granted. Whether cable or mobile broadband, today s connections are many times faster than those in the early days.

28、have been reluctant to provide access to sparsely ( 稀疏地 ) populated areas. The handful of Internet users they would reach wouldn t cover the expense. But every year, technological advancements allow of more and more Internet users. Most broadband connections today run over existing cable TV and tele

29、phone lines although these technologies aren t available everywhere.Some companies have delivered the Internet over standard power lines. Advancements in cheaper, more efficient fiber optics cables (光纤电缆 ) promise to bring extremely fast Internet connections to more users. Still, the “ last mile” pr

30、oblem remains hard to deal with. There will always be somewhere that doesn t have an affordable broadband connection. But someday that might not matter. If the 精选学习资料 - - - - - - - - - 名师归纳总结 - - - - - - -第 5 页，共 8 页学习必备欢迎下载rapid progress in cell phone technology is any indication (迹象 ), it may not

E Music died here last spring, or rather, it was killed by members of the school committee who ignored the importance of music and drama as part of the high-school curriculum. The committee decided that tea

35、ching students how to take a standardized test is more important than a curriculum in which students can explore their interests in the arts as well as academics. Because the school system is running out of funding, it needs to make sure that students pass the mastery test or even more money will be

36、 lost.

37、inging, acting, and playing instruments because school programs are no longer offered. Many families cannot afford private music lessons, and many potential musicians and artists may not find their calling if they are not exposed to it in school. The fact that the school committee thinks the arts ar

38、e not worth the investment will certainly make some students believe the arts are not worth their time or support and the cycle will continue. Teaching for a test does not shape students into complete, well- rounded people. It blocks the natural sense to create and express feelings through art there

39、 is more to life than the analytical thinking that math and English provide. What happens after a test? Sure, a student might graduate, but they will have limited knowledge certainly not a good preparation for the real world. 17. Music and drama are not included in the high- school curriculum mainly
