阅读理解。 Let us say there is something you don't know how to do. In the past if you were determined to learn, you might have called a friend or relative, taken a night class or walked down to the local library for a research term. But now a lot of websites are springing up, providing free practical advice on these subjects and actually anything else you can think of. In one sense, these 'how-to' sites represent a part of the growing world of online learning. This tradition found one of its earliest forms in the FAQs - or Frequently Asked Questions files - that began on Usenet, the Internet's global, discussion group. These FAQs, many of which still go round continuously, took a specific subject - and explained it to complete novices. But 'how-to' sites take the FAQs idea in a somewhat different direction by addressing subjects that aren't necessarily related to discussion forums (论坛). These sites take the style of a written teaching period and a tone of friendly advice. Possibly the biggest and best known of these sites is learn 2.com (www.learn2.com). It offers nearly 1000 free tutorials (个别指导时间) and adds new ones frequently for a job interview. At ehow.com (www.ehow.com) you can learn how to train for your first marathon, how to buy a vacation home, or how to make a movie in eight steps. 1.
