IV- Read the passage and circle the best option from A, B, C or D (1.0 point )
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 classroom.
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 100year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they
will be able to use email 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 computer. 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

everything and do everything.”
