On the past few years, computer technology has started to change many aspects of our lives. One of these are our approach to teach and learning Many people believe that the internet will greatly enhance student’s lives but in my opinion, the cost will outweigh the benefition On future affect of the internet on academic study is that the lever of lecture / student contact that we are used to may be reduced This might happen simple because students not need to spend so much time on the university campus The same may be true of the lecturers If they are capable to put their lectures on the internet, they may choose to this from home and so be less available for consultation In my view this would be a great advantage, in my home country, tutors usually stress the important of regular, informal meetings and students’ work could suffer if efforts are not done to maintain these

Another critical factor that plays a part in susceptibility to colds is age A study done by the University of Michigan School of Public Health revealed particulars that seems to hold true for the general population Infants are the most cold-ridden group, averaging more than six colds in their first year Boys have more cold than girls up to age three After the age of three, girls are more susceptible than boys and teenage girls average three colds a year to boys’ two
The general incidence of colds continues to decline into maturity Elderly people who are in good health have as few as one or two colds annually One exception is found among people in their twenties, especially women, who show a rise in cold infections, because people in this age group are most likely to have young children Adults who delay having children until their thirties and forties experience the same sudden increase in cold infections
The study also found that economic plays an important role As income increases, the frequency at which colds are reported in the family decreases Families with the lowest income surfer about almost more cold than families at the lower ends Lower income generally forces people to leave in more cramped quarters than those typically occupied by wealthier people, and crowding increases the opportunities for the cold virus to travel from person to person Low income may also adversely influence diet The degree to which poor nutrition affects susceptibility to colds is not yet clearly established, but an inadequate diet is suspected of lower resistance generally

C people who live in cold climate have more colds than those who live in warm one D People who don’t have children are more susceptible to colds than those who 4 The word “ cramped” is closest in meaning to
A cheap B crowded C depressing D simple
5 The author’s tone in this passage could best be described as A neutral and objective B humorous
C tentative but interested D highly critical PART E: WRITING
