Laptop(便携式)computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their work place. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.
　　Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do school work anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1,500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are a part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail 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 computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State Officials also are testing laptop programs at other universities, too.
　　At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use the computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, "Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything. "
42.Why is the word "speak" in the second paragraph in quotation mark?
　　A. They don't really talk B. They use the computer language
　　C. Laptops have speakers D. None of the above reasons is correct
43 .hich of the following is true about Westlake College?
　　A. All teachers use computers B. 1,500 students have laptops
　　C. It is an old college in America D. Students there can do everything
44. A window on the world in the last paragraph means that students can____.
　　A. attend lectures on information technology
　　B. travel around the world
　　C. get information from around the world
　　D. have free laptops
45. What can we infer(推断)passage?
