Dear College Dean,
It is my understanding that this college has received a large donation to be used to enhance(improve) the quality of life for students: expand the bookstore or add computers to the computer lab. It is the tradition of this school to promote education and to be the pioneer of new technology. That is why I strongly argue in favor of the addition of more computers to the computer lab.
Although expanding the campus bookstore to include CDs, gifts, and a snack bar will give a nicer look to the college, we have to think about a greater goal and a more practical way to enhance the quality of life for students. What do we want for our students and our college? Do we want our college to be known as a place with a great bookstore where you can find CDs and gifts, or as a place where the students can explore and research in their field using the best tools provided by technology? In addition, there are already several snack bars on campus, and there are music stores nearby, so students do not depend on the college bookstore for these things.
We live in a highly technological world and computers play an increasingly important role in how we live. As a learning institution, this college has the responsibility to offer its students the best technology to help them prepare for their future. Many students will be expected to be familiar with the latest software and other tools when they go on to work or to graduate school.
While they are in college, students find they are expected to use computers. Many professors expect students to use computers to do homework or to complete projects. Since students are competing for good grades, those who have limited access to computers are at a great disadvantage. Furthermore, being able to do projects using the computer enhances the process of learning.
If there are more computers, no more will students have to wait in line while scanning the room for an empty chair and computer. No longer will they have to sit and wait while an outdated computer struggles to follow their commands. Having more new and faster computers available will enable students to finish their work more quickly.
The more computers are used in society, the more colleges will depend on them as a tool of teaching and learning. Making computers more available to students facilitates their learning process by making the process easier, more interesting, more engaging, and in the process enhancing their quality of life.
49.The purpose of the author in writing the passage is _________.
A.to describe the problems caused by lack of computers
B.to explain why students are in great need of computers
C.to tell us what benefits students can gain from computers
D.to persuade the Dean to purchase more advanced computers
50.From the passage we can infer that _______.
A.present computers in the college cannot meet the demands of the students
B.computers in the college will be updated to meet the students’ demands soon
C. the college has the responsibility to help the students to prepare for their future
D. it is also necessary to expand the college bookstore by using part, of the donation
51.In paragraph 4, the author mainly wants to tell us that ________.
A.computers are beneficial to students’ academic success
B.computers are helpful to students’ competition for success
C.students find it convenient to do assignments by using computers
D.students wish to use the money to buy more advanced computers
