Cellphone users in the United States have contributed more than $11 million to Haitian earthquake relief through text messages in what is being called as an unexpected mobile response to a natural disaster.
The Mobile Giving Foundation called it a “mobile-giving record” for funds raised for a single cause. Donations are rising swiftly, as former President Bill Clinton and other politicians urge the American people to give.
Jim Manis, chief officer of the organization helping to manage cellphone donations, said it was receiving up to 10,000 text messages per second. The foundation said more than $11 million has been donated.
Cellphone users can donate $5 to Haiti-born hip-hop musician Wyclef Jean’s Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund by texting the word “Yele” to 501501, or they can donate $10 to other nonprofit organizations, such as the American Red Cross, by texting the word “Haiti” to a specified number, like 90999.
The donation is charged to a user’s cellphone bill.
The American Red Cross said it has received more than $ 9 million in donations from more than 900,000 mobile phone users.
“It’s beyond our imagination that we’ve received this amount,” said spokeswoman Nadia Pontif.
Jean’s fund had raised $2 million via text messages, according to Give on the Go, Yele’s mobile application service provider.
The giving is also being fueled by the popularity of websites like Facebook and Twitter, where users are urging one another to make donations using cellphones.
Wireless carriers(无线运营商) Verizon Wireless, AT&T Inc., Sprint and T-Mobile USA, a unit of Deutsche Telekom AG, have waived(免收) fees for customers wishing to send mobile donations. Carriers are also letting users know they are not taking a cut of the donations.
“There are no text messaging fees and 100% of the $10 donation goes to the American Red Cross, and every carrier is working through a solution to push those funds out faster.” Verizon said in a statement.

More than 2. 6 million students in the United States were expected to study online through courses and tutoring fall, up from 1.9 million in 2003. according to an online research group.
Burck Smith, chief executive of Smarthinking, credits the rise in demand for online educational to services to several factors. These include an increase in the number of non-traditional students who don’t have a lot of time to campus resources, a more competitive educational landscape in which colleges and schools are trying harder to students with additional services and students greater familiarity with the Internet.
Terry H. Coye, director of tutorial and instructional programs at Gallaudet University, said his school turned to Smarthinking to increase its limited tutoring services for graduate students. With many of Gallaudte’s deaf and hard of hearing students accustomed to learning online, the service was a good fit, Coye said.
Founded in 1999, Sniarthinking employs more than 450 part-time instructors from around the world to offer round- clock tutoring. Though people might worry that a student could get too much help from someone outside the class-room, the company said it trains its tutors—who get an average of 15 hours of training—to guide students through prob-lems and not give away the answers.
“Long-term, there is no reason to believe online tutoring is no! going to grow as students go online and take classes,” said J. Mark Jackson, director of a market-research firm. Because it is additional service rather than a key offering, he said, it is unclear how large the market might grow.

A. Students" improved ability to use the Internet.
B. Colleges need for students9 additional services.
C. Students9 laziness to look for on-campus resources.
D. Colleges9 competition to make a beautiful campus.
2.According to Coye,what makes Smarthinking fit Gallaudet University well?
A. Gallaudet’s lack of teaching facilities.
B. Students’ need for part-time instructors.
C. Gallaudet’s desire for disabled students.
D. Students’ adjustment lo online learning.
3.What worries peoples about online tutoring?
A. Students1 unwillingness to get help in the class.
B. Tutors’ lack of training from the company.
C. Students’ easy access to the right answers.
D. Tutors’ not giving away the answers.
4.How does Mark Jackson feel about future online tutoring?
