A graduate of Wooster High School and now a senior biology major at the College of Wooster, Klise acknowledges that he may someday have second thoughts about his decision to limit the time he has spent socializing, but for now, he is【C3】______ with the choices he has made.

Nurseries were established in various areas during the【C1】______ half of the 19th century; most of them were charitable. Both in Europe and in the U.S., the day nursery movement received great impetus during the First World War, when【C2】______ of manpower caused the industrial employment of unprecedented numbers of women. In some European countries nurseries were established even in munitions plants, under 【C3】______ government sponsorship. Although the number of nurseries in the U.S. also rose【C4】______, this rise was accomplished without government aid of any kind. During the years following the First World War, however, federal State and local governments gradually began to exercise a measure of control over the day nurseries, chiefly by【C5】______ them and by inspecting and regulating the conditions within the nurseries. The【C6】______ of the Second World War was quickly followed by an increase in the number of day nurseries in almost all countries, as women were【C7】______ called up on to replace men in the factories. On this occasion the U.S. government immediately came to the support of the nursery schools, allocating $6,000,000 in July, 1942, for a nursery school program for the children of working mothers. Many States and local communities【C8】______ this Federal aid. By the end of the war, in August, 1945, more than 100,000 children were being cared for in daycare centers receiving Federal subsidies. Soon afterward, the Federal government drastically cut down its expenditures for this purpose and later abolished them, causing a sharp【C9】______ in the number of nursery schools in operation. However, the【C10】______ that most employed mothers would leave their jobs at the end of the war was only partly fulfilled.

(l)Remember the Stone Age days of research back in elementary school and middle school? We would spend countless hours digesting the information we could find on index cards. Do you recall using those ancient computers that ran with the Gopher program or some generic database whose name connoted a marmot that could take half an hour to find Moby Dick? (2)Well, all I have to say can be summed up in five words: Thank God For The Internet! Screw going to the library! I have access to dozens of databases, journals, and collections of literature right at my fingertips. I can complete all of my research at home and no longer must run amok in the library, stressing out while trying to find Shakespeare's The Tempest or some other book, all the while trying to block out the noisy study groups who have forgotten what the "silence policy of libraries" means. (3)If you recall the flood epidemic that hit Colorado State University just a couple summers ago, that natural disaster wreaked havoc all over campus. A large portion of journals and texts were located in our libraries' basement which completely filled up with about 10 feet of rain water in a matter of hours. (4)The Lory Student Center's basement was also flooded and that was where the university bookstore was located. This forced almost every professor to order new textbooks and that really put a dent in our wallets. Many students here, myself included, still have to face the disappointment of searching for a particular book or journal for a last minute paper, only to find out that the certain item was a casualty of the flood. (5)Thanks to the Internet, the university implemented the Inter-Library Loan system. Several universities around Colorado have generously aided us in our research endeavors by loaning any resource we need for at least two to three weeks. All we have to do is type in a request and five other university libraries automatically search for that information. (6)Without this program, I may have failed several papers and projects. I would have had to spend my nights running from public library to public library around the state just to find a certain article or novel. The World Wide Web has also given us the capability to order any textbook at a much lower price than the university bookstores charge. Hey, we're all college students and we're usually broke, so anytime we can find a deal or discount that will save us a few bucks, we will gladly take it. (7)And last but not least, for those of us who are constantly homesick, have a special someone far away or still want to keep in touch with pals, we have e-mail. Like most of you, I moved away from home to go to school and my high school friends spread out across the globe. Instead of wasting money on stationery and envelopes and stamps (which seem to increase in price about every year), I can chat with everyone through the Internet. Plus, scanning has allowed us to send pictures to our sweethearts, friends, and family who have forgotten what we look like. So, I'm asking everyone to get on their hands and knees and to pay homage to the tele-communications god, the Internet.
