We found that online education gives us excellent sources of information, saves our time, money and it is extremely convenient.

　　答案：有了因特網(wǎng)，學校能夠開發(fā)出大量的學習材料以供學生隨時從網(wǎng)上獲取。在網(wǎng)上，學生對各種課程和時間段有多種選擇。因此，完成一項教育計劃對學生而言就不再成為問題了。我們發(fā)現(xiàn)，在線教育為我們提供了絕好的信息資源，節(jié)約了時間和金錢，而且十分方便。

　　2.College students were a major force in the campaign, although participants of all ages were involved. Still, we cannot really credit a handful of individuals for the success of Earth Day. After all, a major message of Earth Day is that every single person has an important role in the environment.

　　3.But these beliefs about peptide hormones(肽激素)were questioned as laboratory after laboratory found that antiserums(抗血清)to peptide hormones, when injected into the brain, bind in places other than the hypothalamus(下丘腦), indicating that either the hormones or substances that cross-react with the antiserums are present.

　　答案：但是這些對于肽激素的信仿，被一個又一個的實驗室質(zhì)疑，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)抗血清被注入大腦后，并不在下丘腦那里才凝固，顯示出肽激素和與抗血清反作用的物質(zhì)都不存在。
