     France，26 April，2021.Fifteen volunteers have emerged（冒出來）from a cave in the southwest of France after spending 40 days without clocks，phones，or sunlight for a human isolation （隔離）experiment.
     Eight men and seven women lived in the Lombrives cave as part of a ＄1.4 million project called Deep Time，which set out to explore the limits of human adaptability to isolation.The project ended on Saturday after 40 days.Social media videos from the day shows the smiling volunteers emerging from the cave to a round of applause while wearing special sunglasses to protect their eyes after so long in the dark.
     During their time in the cave，the volunteers slept in tents and made their own electricity with a pedal bike.They also drew water from a well 146 feet below the earth.Since there was no sunlight，the team had to follow their biological clocks to know when to sleep，eat，or do daily tasks.To no one's surprise，they quickly lost their sense of time.

" However，Lancon did admit to feeling happy to be outdoors and hear birdsong again.

• 4．How to be a successful online student While regular schools still exist，the virtual classroom plays an important role in today's learning community.（1）

  
     Be able to communicate through writing
     In the virtual classroom nearly all communication is written，so it is necessary for students to express themselves in writing.Some students have limited writing abilities which need to be improved.This usually requires more practice from these students.Whether working alone or in a group，students share ideas on the subject being studied，and read about those of their classmates.（2）

  
     Be willing to 'speak up' if problems arise
     Remember that teachers cannot see their students in an online course.（3）

  If they face technical difficulties or problems，they MUST speak up；otherwise there is no way anyone can know something is wrong.If one person does not understand something，possibly several others have the same problem.While explaining something others，students strengthen their own knowledge about the subject.
     Take the program seriously
     （4）

  In fact，many students say it requires much more time and effort.Requirements for online courses are not less than those of any quality program.Successful students，however，see online learning as a convenient way to receive their education - not an easier way.Many online students sit at computers for hours at a time during evenings and on weekends in order to complete their assignments.
     Be able to think ideas through before replying
     Providing meaningful and quality input into the virtual classroom is an essential part of online learning.Time is given to allow for careful development of answers.（5）

  Many times online students will not always be right，they just need to be prepared to accept a challenge.
  
  A.Be open-minded about sharing experiences.
  B.In this way，students gain great insight from their classmates.
  C.Online learning is not easier than study in regular classrooms.
  D.However，online students require unique qualities to be successful.
  E.Testing and challenging of ideas is encouraged.
  F.Students can keep the online environment open and friendly.
  G.This means students must make their comments and requests clearly.
