[00:01.64]Growing numbers of U.S. colleges and universities
[00:07.56]are saying they will reopen before autumn.
[00:13.44]There will be, however, big changes to college life
[00:18.96]to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
[00:23.76]Large lecture rooms will no longer be used.
[00:28.56]Student housing will not be full.
[00:34.48]Schools will require students to be tested for the virus.
[00:40.32]And some smaller colleges may even bar students from leaving their grounds.
[00:48.92]Some universities have given up hope of offering in-person classes in the fall term.
[00:58.12]So, they will be offering students online classes.
[01:03.32]Yet others are announcing plans to welcome students back in August.
[01:11.44]The schools that plan to open admit an outbreak of COVID,
[01:17.08]the disease caused by the virus, may force them to close again.
[01:25.00]But, their leaders say, financial and social demands are simply too strong to ignore.
[01:36.52]At West Virginia University, President E. Gordon Gee
[01:43.80]said students do not want to wait for a vaccine.
[01:48.48]He added that the university's finances were part of the decision.
[01:56.88]If science were the only concern, "we would keep everything shut down
[02:03.24]until we have a vaccine and until it's working," he said.
[02:09.88]"We will open, but it will be different."
[02:16.28]Colleges planning to reopen include Purdue University, Texas A&M University,
[02:25.24]the University of Notre Dame and several statewide systems.
[02:33.88]The California State University system has said its 23 campuses
[02:41.04]will stay mostly online this fall.
[02:45.60]School officials said they feared another outbreak of the virus later this year.
[02:54.84]Others including the University of South Carolina and Rice University in Texas
[03:02.60]plan to reopen, but they will have a shorter fall term.
[03:09.96]They are hoping that another outbreak, if there is one,
[03:14.68]will hit in November or December.
[03:19.72]U.S. President Donald Trump has urged schools to reopen,
[03:25.76]but his top infectious disease expert, Anthony Fauci, has expressed concerns.
[03:34.20]Last week, Fauci spoke at a U.S. Senate hearing about the coronavirus.
[03:41.56]He said he did not believe there will be a vaccine by the end of the summer.
[03:49.32]Trump said that was "not an acceptable answer."
[03:55.32]Colleges and universities that plan to reopen have told students to expect
[04:02.24]social distancing measures to be enforced.
[04:06.92]This will include a requirement to wear face masks.
[04:13.24]College officials say there will be widespread testing,
[04:17.96]and students found to be infected will be put in quarantine.
[04:25.96]But some Americans wonder whether the schools
[04:29.76]will be able to provide large numbers of tests.
[04:35.32]In a call with 14 university leaders this month, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence
[04:43.92]promised to help colleges improve testing operations.
[04:49.16]But some on the call said details,
[04:52.92]especially about how to pay for the testing, was not clear.
[05:00.20]"The testing is going to cost money," said Mike Lovell,
[05:05.00]president of Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
[05:10.44]He noted that many schools already have financial problems.
[05:18.24]Once students are back on campus,
[05:21.24]the main goal will be to keep them apart, colleges say.
[05:26.68]Chairs will be placed at least two meters from each other.
[05:32.28]Big lectures will be made into smaller groups or move online.
[05:38.92]Some colleges are discussing teaching some classes outside buildings
[05:44.56]or in temporary shelters.
[05:49.28]The biggest problem for colleges is the question of student housing.
[05:55.28]At some schools, housing meant for several students
[05:59.44]will be limited to just one or two.
[06:03.12]Restrooms will be restricted to just a few students.
[06:10.28]At Trinity College, a school of 2,000 in Hartford, Connecticut,
[06:15.92]officials hope to place every student in their own room. C
[06:22.04]ollege officials have been trying to find a way to make sure students
[06:27.32]will have space to sleep and study several meters apart.
[06:34.32]At least one college may not let students leave the school's grounds.
[06:40.28]In a recent letter to students, Amherst College in Massachusetts
[06:45.88]said officials "may need to require that you limit your movement
[06:51.52]to on-campus locations only."

END OF TRACK. "END OF TRACK." The two men bowed. "Whoever was that person you were talking to?" she enquired, as soon as they stood together. The took of triumph faded from her eyes, she had grown worn and weary. The roses were wilting on the walls, the lights were mostly down now. Hetty, looking in to see if anything was wanted, found herself driven away almost fiercely. I only saw Master Jervie once when he called at tea time, The year 1747 was opened by measures of restriction. The House of Lords, offended at the publication of the proceedings of the trial of Lord Lovat, summoned the parties to their bar, committed them to prison, and refused to liberate them till they had pledged themselves not to repeat the offence, and had paid very heavy fees. The consequence of this was that the transactions of the Peers were almost entirely suppressed for nearly thirty years from this time, and we draw our knowledge of them chiefly from notes taken by Horace Walpole and Lord Chancellor Hardwicke. What is still more remarkable, the reports of the House of Commons, being taken by stealth, and on the merest sufferance, are of the most meagre kind, sometimes altogether wanting, and the speeches are given uniformly under fictitious names; for to have attributed to Pitt or Pelham their[112] speeches by name would have brought down on the printers the summary vengeance of the House. Many of the members complained bitterly of this breach of the privileges of Parliament, and of "being put into print by low fellows"; but Pelham had the sense to tolerate them, saying, "Let them alone; they make better speeches for us than we can make for ourselves." Altogether, the House of Commons exhibited the most deplorable aspect that can be conceived. The Ministry had pursued Walpole's system of buying up opponents by place, or pension, or secret service money, till there was no life left in the House. Ministers passed their measures without troubling themselves to say much in their behalf; and the opposition dwindled to Sir John Hinde Cotton, now dismissed from office, and a feeble remnant of Jacobites raised but miserable resistance. In vain the Prince of Wales and the secret instigations of Bolingbroke and Doddington stimulated the spirit of discontent; both Houses had degenerated into most silent and insignificant arenas of very commonplace business. "It certainly will be. Miss Widgeon," answered Maria, with strictly "company manners." "One who has never had a brother exposed to the constant dangers of army life can hardly understand how glad we all feel to have Si snatched from the very jaws of death and brung back to us." "Just plug at 'em as you would at a crow, and then go on your way whistlin'?" persisted Harry. "Hurroo!" echoed Hennessey; "that's the ticket." "Come forward, keeper," continued the baron, "and state how these arrows came into your hands!" "Yes." HoMEJULIA京香2018下载
