21、 but in most systems there are weekend, summer and winter "camps" where students can arrange to meet and interact with others as part of the courses. Such education is valuable for remote learning in inaccessible regions. Linda (China) I find that children today spend less and l

29、South Pole Station is home to a crew of 48 scientists.  A rescue plane flew there on June 21 to rescue a sick worker. Battling subzero temperatures, total darkness, and other dangerous flying conditions, a plane left the South Pole on Wednesday after rescuing a sick worker from a U.S. res

30、earch base. After the patient and flight crew rest, the plane will make its way to South America, where the patient will receive medical care. The daring rescue mission began last week when two planes flew from Canada to Rothera, a British base on the Antarctic Peninsula.

31、On Tuesday, just one of the planes left Rothera on a nine-to-ten-hour trip to the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Stati o n, where the sick worker was located. The station is usually unreachable during Antarctica ’s long, harsh winter, from February to October. Forty-eight peopl

35、nds and sudden weather changes make such flights extremely risky and rare. "The air and Antarctica are unforgiving environments," Tim Stockings told the Associated Press. He is the operations director at the British Antarctic Survey, in London. “Things can change very quick

43、shed last week in the journal IIE Transactions on Occupational Ergonomics and Human Factors, the study followed 167 employees in a call center over six months. Seventy-four of them used standing desks, and researchers found that they were 46 percent more productive than those who sat at the

44、ir desks. The participants ’ employer, a health services company that ’s not named in the paper, sponsored the study to better understand the returns on the standing desks it had bought for the office. Productivity was determined by the number of successful calls to clients that the heal

47、on the study, told The Huffington Post. If an advisor was unable to reach a client over the phone, that was counted as an unsuccessful call. Interestingly, the people who stood actually made more phone calls than the ones who sat, Garrett said. The results almost seem too good to be tr

48、ue — after all, who wouldn’t want a nearly 50 percent boost in productivity just from using a standing desk? “How do you prove ‘this desk makes me feel happier, and I feel better  ’? That  ’s not going to pay the bills, ” Garrett said. But, he continued, the study shows tha

49、t standing desks can in fact “affect a company performance. That ’s really significant. ” 33. According to the passage, standing desks could result in ______________. A.obesity B. back problems C. diabetes D. medication problems  ’s 34. What does that quota in Paragraph 7 refer

50、 to? A.400 and 500 calls a month. B.2 successful calls each hour. 35. It can be concluded from the passage that standing desks __________. A. are worthy of much further research B. can be used in all work environments C.can help create a boost in productivity D. are m
