DGEWOOD — Every morning at Dixie Heights High school, customers pour into a special experiment: the district’s first coffee shop run mostly by students with special learning needs.
Well before classes start, students and teachers order Lattes, Cappuccinos and Hot Chocolates. Then, during the first period, teachers call in orders on their room phones, and students make deliveries.
By closing time at 9:20 a.m., the shop usually sells 90 drinks.
“Whoever made the chi tea, Ms. Schatzman says it was good,” Christy McKinley, a second year student, announced recently, after chatting with the teacher on the line.
The shop is called the Dixie PIT, which stands for Power in Transition. Although some of the students are not disabled, many are, and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school. They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs. They keep a timecard and receive paychecks, which they keep in check registers.
Special-education teachers Kim Chevalier and Sue Casey introduced the Dixie PIT from a similar program at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Georgia.
Not that it was easy. Chevalier’s first problem to overcome was product-related. Should schools be selling coffee? What about sugar content?
Kenton County Food Service Director Ginger Gray helped. She made sure all the drinks, which use non-fat milk, fell within nutrition (营养) guidelines.
The whole school has joined in to help.
Teachers agreed to give up their lounge (休息室) in the morning. Art students painted the name of the shop on the wall. Business students designed the paychecks. The basketball team helped pay for cups.
What is the text mainly about?
A. A best-selling coffee. B. A special educational program.
C. Government support for schools D. A new type of teacher-student relationship.
The Dixie PIT program was introduced in order to .
A. raise money for school affairs B. do some research on nutrition
C. develop students’ practical skills D. supply teachers with drinks
How did Christy McKinley know Ms. Schatzman’s opinion of the chi tea?
A. She once met her in the shop. B. She heard her saying it with others.
C. She talked to her on the phone. D. She went to her office to deliver the tea.
We know from the text that Ginger Gray .
A. starts the guidelines for coffee shops B. sees that the drinks meet health standards
C. teaches at Dixie Heights High School D. manages the Dixie PIT program in Kenton County

One day I happened to find a chatting room on the
internet, where people were chatting on English. I tried
to chat with some of them. To my surprised, I found the
fact that the oral English of some junior students were better
than mine. I asked them for an advice and they told me
to practise more on QQ. What I wish I could speak English
as good as these fellows! Therefore every day after that I
would spend one hour practise my oral English on QQ.
Day by day I learned many good and useful words and
expression. With time going by , I found that I could
even communicate with some college students free.

Switching telephone providers used to be the only way homeowners could save money on telephone bills. Now thanks to new technology, comsumers have another choice-making phone calls over the internet. And this can be completely free if you call another person with an internet phone set-up.
The technology is called voice over internet protocol (协议), or VoIP. In 2005, consumer demand for VoIP dramatically grew. In the US, where popularity has grown faster than here in the UK, 8.4 million are predicted to subscribe this year. For the past couple years, VoIP pioneers such as Skype have accounted for the majority of internet phone subscribers.
VoIP is attractive to consumers because it’s cheaper than traditional phone services. With the basic equipment of PC, microphone and headset, and VoIP software and broadband internet for optimum (最适宜的) voice quality, consumers can save a fortune chatting for free to other internet phone owners and save money calling regular landlines (通讯电缆). But, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for. Many of these services suffer from uncontinuous lapses (失效) in quality. While some users may tolerate echoes or a dropped call, improved quality is needed to attract more customers.
Computing has examined the benefits of using a PC as a telephone with VoIP in how easy they were to set up, how effective they were and the range of their features.
Skype(www. skype.com) came top for its bother-free approach, easy set-up and exceptional voice clarity. Sipgate (www. sipgate. co. uk), MSN(www. messenger. msn. co. uk) and Yahoo! Messenger (uk. messenger. yahoo. com) provide an audio “wizard” that improves sound levels. Google Talk (www. google. com/ talk) was less helpful and Babble. net (www. babble. net) was let down by its poor help files. Yahoo! Messenger provides some of the best features, including the option of landline calls, webcam chats, instant messaging, voice-mail and conference calls.
【小题1】Which one of the following if you call others?
A.VolP,voice over internet protocol |
B.Switching telephone |
C.New technology |
D.letters |
A.VoIP can save money but it has some disadvantages |
B.whatever you buy is related to how much you pay |
C.what you pay for will belong to you forever |
D.what you buy is not always high in quality |
A.Sipgate is less helpful. |
B.Yahoo! Messenger offers some best features. |
C.Skype is the best one in the new technology. |
D.Google Talk provides very good audio “wizard”. |
