Abstract

The last decade has seen online degree programs playing an increasingly important role in the field of education, and in this regard, this study examines people perceive online education. According to the results, the respondents generally were indifferent toward online education. Chinese students had more favorable attitudes toward online education than Japanese students, and there was a significant difference in their perception of online education. The respondents emphasized quality as the most important motivator of online education. Chinese students were most likely to indicate quality, followed by the learning environment, trustworthiness, and costs, in that order, whereas Japanese students indicated quality as the most important motivator, followed by trustworthiness and the learning environment. In terms of barriers, the respondents emphasized poor academic quality as the most important barrier to online education, followed by a lack of teacher/peer support, low awareness, and newness, in that order. Chinese students were most likely to indicate poor academic quality, followed by a lack of teacher/peer support, low awareness, and newness, in that order. Japanese students indicated poor academic quality, followed by a lack of teacher/peer support. Low awareness and newness were least likely to be reported. These results have important practical implications for policymakers and practitioners.

脚印

那夜，花香馥郁，大手牵小手，共谈人生花语，印下成长足迹。（共印成长脚印）

那是我初二的下学期，正值繁花似锦的春季，我的成绩却无缘由的下滑，几次自我调整的失败让我焦躁不安，一个晴朗的夜晚，妈妈邀我出去散步。

我跟着妈妈走在小区里弯曲的卵石小路上，穿过一小片树林。皓月当空，如水的月光倾泻，洒在我和妈妈身后一串卵石上，一如我们在树林中留下的一串闪光的脚印，宁静而祥和。

小路终止在藤萝花架下的木质秋千前。这是怎样的一簇盛开（怒放）的紫藤萝啊！似一片紫色的飞瀑在我眼前流泻，空气中似乎也氤氲着紫色的香气。我看着眼前这春日独有的美好，想起自己近日的不顺，内心短暂的平静被不公的愤慨所打破，泪水也欲夺眶而出，但在妈妈面前，我努力克制着不让眼泪流下来。

妈妈终于开口了：“多美呀！”我轻轻地回应了一声，心中的波浪翻滚得愈加剧烈了，终没能压住自己哽咽的声音。妈妈拉起我的手，带我坐在了秋千上，轻摇着，又对我说道：“看它的枝干，多粗、多壮啊！”我看向自己脚旁的一株藤萝的树根，真的如此，仿佛在牢牢地抓着泥土，汲取养分，那粗壮的枝干上满是刻痕，一如我受伤的心灵，可它的花却是那么娇艳美丽••••••我似乎领悟到了些什么。

不经意间，一滴泪从我眼角滑落，落在脚下的泥土里，清风拂过，脸上凉凉的。妈妈停下微微摇晃的秋千，用手拭去我脸上的泪痕，温暖从妈妈的指尖穿到我的面颊的皮肤上，直抵我的心头。此刻的我再也抑制不住自己满眶的泪水，一头扑进妈妈的怀里，丢弃自己所有坚强的伪装，任泪水肆意地流淌。

在妈妈有节奏的心跳声中，我慢慢地平静下来，再次望向那伤痕累累的树干和蓬勃的花簇，耳畔又响起妈妈平和的声音：“人生亦如这藤萝啊！”

是啊，人生亦如这藤萝，只有用坚强挺过一次次痛苦的磨砺，才能领略梦想彼岸风景的旖丽。这一刻，我真正懂得了坚强；这一刻，月华连同馥郁的藤萝花香载着妈妈的爱，在我的成长路上留下了一个深深的脚印；这一刻，我的心，春暖花开。

岁月百转千回，漫漫成长路上，脚印熠熠生辉（金光闪闪），只因一路上有您的陪伴，我的母亲。

土地经营权流转的制度分析 —以江苏省两县区为例

推动土地流转、发展农业规模经营已成为全国性的热潮。借由土地经营权的流转，政府、企业、村委会、村民各有获益。但在看似皆大欢喜的局面下，却存在制度上的隐忧。本文通过对江苏省两县区的实地调研表明，在经济较不发达的地区，乡镇政府通过严格的合同鉴证程序，事实上拥有了土地经营权流转合同的审批权；又由于缺乏完善的土地确权和登记体系，县级以上政府难以对乡镇政府进行有效的监督。因此乡镇政府权力的急剧膨胀，可能进一步带来流转价格不市场化、土地流转后续程序难以解决等问题。土地流转制度的改革，应从改变鉴证制度、建立市场化的土地价格体系、加强土地确权登记等方面着手。
