六、阅读填空，每空填一个词（每空2分，满分10分）
Online schools are becoming very popular with many people today. And now, even common
students are going in for online education, as it leaves them with enough time to do other things,
such as a part-time job or a hobby, along with studying. However, as with everything, there are
two sides about online schooling.
Let’s start with the good side. Online schools cost very little. You don’t have to spend
money on books, or bus tickets. Also, since you can work along with studying at an online school,
you would not need to take an education loan (贷款). Another advantage of going to school
online is the freedom it provides. You can study wherever you want － in your house, at a café or
even in a park. Some people who want to study further, now no longer have to take a break in
their jobs, thanks to online schools.
However, those students who often need a push from their teachers to do well have a very high
chance of not doing well at online schools. When studying in a class, different topics(话题) in a
given subject are discussed and different students give their points of view. This is something that
online schooling cannot provide.
Also, there are many employers(雇主) who like students with a traditional degree(学位) better than those who have an online degree. The employers feel that students who go to full-time colleges have more knowledge than those who have online degrees.
In general, it can be said online schools are good for some, while others should give them up! A person should see the situation he is in and then decide whether or not to choose an online school.

书面表达：
In my opinion，the Internet is helpful rather than harmful as someone else thinks. As is known to all，the Internet is playing a more and more important part in our daily life. On the Internet，we can read news at home and from abroad and get as much information as we can. We can send e - mails or make phone calls to our family as well as to our friends. We can also attend the net school，read many books and even teach ourselves English. We can also enjoy music，watch matches and play computer games on the Internet. We can even do shopping on line. Besides，we can improve our ability to operate the computer.
But we should not be given to the Internet，or we’ll get our life and study destroyed. Besides，we should keep off the harmful websites. Anyhow，this doesn’t prevent the Internet becoming our friend. We can’t throw away the apple because of the core，can we？
