《英语报刊阅读》作业练习1Assignment 1Read the following passage and answer the questions:Tuition Reform for Higher EducationChinese institutions of higher learning have quickened their pace of reform in recent years. Changing enrollment practices and higher tuition fees constitute and important part of the reform. Schools which once admitted students almost exclusively according to state plans are becoming more accepting of students sent by work groups for further training and those who pay their own fees.Regular universities and colleges plan to enroll about 786 200 students this year, up 158 200 or 25 percent over last year‟s figure. Of these, 216 000, or 27.4 percent, will be sent by their work groups or will pay their own way.In the past, the state paid all tuition and school fees for university students, a matter of policy since New China was established in 1949. Although this practice guaranteed the supply of qualified personnel, it brought a heavy burden to the sate, hindering further development of higher education. Since higher education is non—compulsory education in China, to charge appropriate fees will help improve school facilities and expedite the development of education in this stage. As an added benefit, paying their own way will encourage students to study harder.The reform will take effect in two directions. State—financed students will begin paying part of the costs of their education, and more self—paying students will be accepted.In August 1989, under the direction of the State council, the State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the Sate Price Bureau drew up stipulations concerning the amount of charges on tuition, accommodation and other expenses for students of institutions of higher learning. Beginning from that year, freshmen at regular universities and colleges and professional schools (including cadres taking special training courses and students working on a second degree) were charged 100 yuan (about us $17) each for their tuition fee, and this low charge is expected to be raised gradually. The figure was higher in special economic zones and economically developed regions such as Guangdong Province and Shanghai, but was capped at 300 yuan. Students living on campus paid about 20 yuan per year for accommodation and the charge was slightly higher for better furnishing. Normal school students and those admitted on scholarships need only pay for accommodation. Reduced tuitions and fees are available to students in need of financial assistance, but accommodation expenses will remain the same.In June 1992, the State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the State Price Bureau decided to allow regular institutions of higher education to set their own tuition rates and charges for accommodation, short—term training programs, correspondence courses and night school. These should be determined according to the needs of each school, the abilities of students to pay and general conditions in each area. The tuition for students in the sciences and engineering can range from 300 to 500 yuan per academic year. Liberal arts, history and economics students of the fine arts pay 400 to 600 yuan per year, and students of the fine arts 400 to 750 yuan. Statistics for 1992 show students paid an average of 340 yuan in tuition that year,only 5 percent of the real cost.Measures have been taken to limit the possible detrimental affects of rising tuition. Shanghai, for instance, exempts the children of revolutionary martyrs from paying tuition. And these costs may be reduced or waived for students with limited family financial support as their parents are either both dead or are receiving subsidies from their work units. Some colleges have also set up work—study programs to benefit students with financial difficultiesGuidelines concerning self—paying students were first set out in 1989. The State Education Commission, the Ministry of Finance and the State Price Bureau stipulated that these students should pay 80 percent of the cost of their education. Such students who live on campus pay the standard rate for accommodation and must cover their own medical expenses. The charge for each self—paying student averaged 2 000 yuan of the cost in 1992, or 30 percent of the cost. Charges for undergraduates and students of special colleges whose education is sponsored by work units, with payment coming either in part or in full from their units, are somewhat higher. Self—paying students are not assigned jobs by the state after graduation, whereas students sent by their units will return to them after graduating.Charges for correspondence courses and night school are equal to or slightly higher than those for full-time students enrolled according to the state plan.With their improvement of their living standards and the deepening of reform, people in general accept the changes in the tuition system. To facilitate the development of higher education, the increases in tuition rates will be more flexible and diversified. Student payments will be augmented by finding from the state, enterprises and funds raised from the public. Laws and regulations will by enacted to ensure steady progress, and overseas organizations and individuals are encouraged to set up and operate schools in China.--21st Century, Apr.20, 1992Reading ComprehensionAnalyze the ideas and relationships.

It was divided into the “have” nations, and the many more “have-not” nations. Put another way, there was the “First World” and the “Third World”. Everyone knew which countries fit into the former category. They were the wealthy powers, which had big steel plants, shipyards and lots of automobiles. When Mao Zedong tried to propel China into the front ranks in the late 1950s, he naturally stressed steel plants, even backyard ones.In recent decades, many Asian countries have joined the “haves”. Certainly, by most standards, places like Japan, Hong Kong and Singapore are rich. But just as it seems that they might relax and say they have it made, they are suddenly faced with a new challenge: the economic rules have changed. The emerging divide is no longer between the traditional haves and have-nots, but between those nations that are wired and those that are not. Of course, the developed countries already have the edge: Singapore, with a population of 4 million, has more than 500,000 computers, while Vietnam with 80 million people, possesses only 6,000 machines.As the competition intensifies to excel in information technology, the division will likely widen. And as more individual Asians catch up with, or even surpass, Western counterparts in terms of IT skills---such as e-commerce, computer development and Internet use, many more will be left behind. This is the test that the region‟s governments, think-tanks and private businesses must grapple with. Microsoft mogul Bill Gates may dream of everyone being able to log onto the Internet (using his software), but for most Asians, that aspiration will remain a reverie for a long time.“The pursuit of wealth is now largely the pursuit of information and its application to production,” former Citibank chairman Walter Wriston once observed. “The rules, customs, skills and talents necessary to uncover, capture, produce, preserve and exploit information are now humankind‟s most important assets.”That neatly encapsulates the world‟s new divide: between those who make, or at least can make use of, technology and information, and those without such capabilities. It is another way of saying that to become a player in the global economy, participation in IT is essential.The new divide is not just between nations, but also among regions within countries. In Thailand, bright children in Bangkok private schools are moving beyond word-processing and sending e-mail. But upcountry, it can be a struggle just getting a computer into a classroom and then it is shared by many pupils. Often, the teachers are as ignorant of new IT developments as their charges. Some parts of India are hotbeds of software development and application, yet huge swathes of the country together with Pakistan, Bangladesh and many other areas of Asia are electronic deserts.In important ways, corporations are already being measured according to whether they are connected or not. Witness the dizzying stock valuations of the former type, while even blue chipsamong the latter lag notably behind. Indeed, in Asia as elsewhere, zooming “dot-com” shares have been sucking up valuable capital resources, just as rich countries were traditionally accused of draining the same from poorer ones. Yet many mainline companies-manufacturers, retailers and property developers are becoming part of the wired world. The key is learning how to use technology profitably, and not necessarily how to produce it.Fortunately, closing the “IT divide” should prove a less formidable task than narrowing the old rich-poor gap. The world, after all, is not dealing in this case with finite resources. A big part of the solution would be simply to get more computers and other IT appliances into the hands of users, and to make them even easier to use. The machines are much less expensive than, say, rockets and tanks, which governments seem fully able to fund. Asia‟s goal, as South Korean President Kim Dae Jung has stated for his country, should be to get a computer and Internet connection into every classroom.But it is not enough just to supply the hardware. More attention must be paid to the education of users, particularly children. Computers literacy may be a given in the most advanced parts of Asia, but in Kathmandu, for example, government-run schools have to make do with a mere 100 machines among them. And it Nepal, as in some other Asian nations, more than half of the children never even get to see the inside of a classroom, let alone log on.Nor can the more wired communities become complacent. Most Singapore and Hong Kong schoolchildren may know how to browse the Web and use a word-processor. But as the technology revolution accelerates, even the advanced countries need to upgrade their IT skills continually. Hong Kong, among others, is attempting to transform itself into a center of high technology, in the process broadening its economic base beyond traditional businesses. Yet even with the return of prosperity, say local authorities, unemployment will stay significantly above 1990s levels simply because not enough people have the technology-related skills demanded by the newly created jobs. That is a revealing measure of the challenge Asia faces.1.In the news story, “haves” refer to _______________ nations, and “have-nots” refer to____________ nations.2.The traditional “have” nations were those that had _____________ , _________________and__________________.3.The new challenge facing Asia‟s “have” nations is__________________________________.4.The emerging divide is between those nations that are wired and those that are not. In thesentence, “be wired” means ______________________________________.5.The intensified competition in __________________ will probably widen the division.6.To become a player in the world economy, participation in __________ is_______________.7.What is the new divide between nations and among regions within countries?8. What is the most important thing for mainline corporations in the wired world to do?9. What is the solution to the problem of “IT divides”, according to the writer?10.According to the writer, closing the “IT divide” should be ea sier than narrowing the oldrich-poor gap. Why is it so?11.Why unemployment will become a problem in Hong Kong when it is trying to become acenter of high technology?Assignment 3I. Translate the following into Chinese: (20%)WASHINGTON, Sept. 23---The House of Representatives, which prides itself on being “the people‟s house”, has been turning into a rich man‟s club.The representatives newly elected in 1984 were almost four times as wealthy as the first-term lawmakers elected only six years before, according to a new study based on the members‟ financial reports.Behind this remarkable swing, the study says, are two main factors: a court decision that outlawed limits on what candidates could give to their own campaigns, and the enormous growth in the cost of pursuing a seat in Congress. As a result, it is increasingly difficult for candidates of modest means, particularly women, to mount successful challenges to entrenched office holders.One solution, the authors contend, is a system of public financing for campaigns, but Congress seems in no mood to change the political rules any time soon.II. Reconstruct the messages of the following headlines of news stories: Example: Italian Ex-Mayor Murdered---An Italian Ex-Mayor Is Murdered1.Qian to sign test-ban treaty at UN assembly2.More areas open to overseas investors3.Israeli PM on European tour4.Big power project due to launch in Guangxi5. Alaskan Oil for Japan?Assignment 4Endangered Trade(The Asian Wall Street Journal, Mar., 1999)Such is the special relationship between America and its NATO partners that while that alliance cooperates to bomb Serbian forces, the U.S. and the EU are managing a trade war against each other. Fortunately, no lives are at stake in the latter conflict. Yet if it spreads unchecked, the rest of the world is sure to feel the pain of it.It‟s hard to decide whether the U.S. or Europe deserves the most contempt for expanding their trade war. The first fight, over bananas, is essentially a struggle between two fruit distributors with strong political connections. Now Washington and Brussels are escalating their battle over beef, with European farmers stooping to phony science in their claims that hormone-treated American beef is unsafe.In his first term in office, President Bill Clinton teamed up with the Republicans to push major free-trade liberalizations. Now, however, he seems bent on pursuing …level even if playing fields,‟torpedoing the world economy. The latest salvo was fired this week, with the U.S. announcing it has targeted close to $1 billion of European products for 100% tariffs if the European Union doesn‟t drop the hormone nonsense.The move follows an earlier announcement that the U.S. administration will fight Europe‟s banana import regime by hitting a range of European goods with prohibitive tariffs. Add to this, renewed American threats to raise the drawbridge to Russian, Japanese and Brazilian steel, as well as administration support for a congressional vote to ban Concorde flights from Europe in relation for EU threats to refuse landing rights to old-American planes retrofitted with noise reducing technology.Mr. Clinton sounded the protectionist battle cry in his January State of the Union address, where he vowed to fight for …a freer and fairer trading system for 21st century America.‟ In the case of agriculture, when the respective lobbies on both sides of the Atlantic enter the fray, that translates into a sticky situation. On the whole, American farmers are major exporters. And U.S. farmers have a good case on beef hormones. But it is nonetheless dangerous for the U.S. to shut off $1 billion in trade.This is not to excuse the EU. The hormone argument is nonsense. The World Trade Organization has acknowledged as much, ordering the EU to allow imports of American meat by May 13. Brussels has responded by saying that it needs more time because European citizens, who supposedly don‟t like hormones in their food, would rebel against their governments if American meat suddenly appeared on their store shelves.Were it not for the high stakes involved for both producers and consumers, the argument might be amusing. When governments curtail trade the global economy shrinks and for all the jobs …saved‟by protections, there are a lot more lost. The Smoot-Hawley agricultural protections imposed by the U.S. Congress in the late 1920s certainly contributed to the Great Depression. Mr. Clinton may believe he is fighting the good fight. But we‟ve never thought much of the kind of war where you pose even when you win.Judge whether the following statement are True or False:1. ( ) The Trade war between the U.S. and the EU has cost no lives but is equally dangerous.2. ( ) It‟s very easy to decide who is to blame for expanding the trade war.3. ( ) The very beginning of the trade war suggests that it bears political significance.4. ( ) The author agrees that hormone-treated beef is harmful to one‟s health.5. ( ) President Bill Clinton used to be a believer of free trade, but not now.6. ( ) Level playing fields ca do good to the world economy.7. ( ) Besides its trade war with the EU, the U.S. is also in conflict with Japan, Russia andBrazil.8 .( ) The author thinks that in the case of beef, the American farmers are justified.9. ( ) The author thinks that it is a right decision for the U.S. to shut off $1 billion in trade.10. ( ) The two sides have submitted the case of beef to the WTO for settlement.。

Into a world of dreamsWHETHER we admit it or not, once we hid a dream in our hearts: to discover a new world, whether inside a wardrobe (衣橱) or on the other side of a mirror, and have an exciting adventure there.A girl called Alice does just this in Alice in Wonderland, a 3D film which comes out on March 5. The movie is more than a *remake of the children’s literary classic (文学经典). It features an imaginative twist (改编) on English writer Lewis Carroll’s beloved 1865 story.Carroll’s Alic e follows a talking white rabbit underground. There she jumps through a mirror to find a garden and meets many strange characters. But in the new film, Alice is 17 and is attending a party, at which she is proposed (求婚) to by a wealthy suitor (追求者).She runs away, following a rabbit into a hole and ends up in Wonderland, a place she visited many years before, but doesn’t remember. The rabbit says that she has returned because she is the only one who can save Wonderland from the Red Queen’s reign (统治) of terror.The new Alice story is as profound (深刻的) as the original. Many people believe it is a story about the existence (存在) of non-existence –something that is immaterial but existent. This piece of dialogue between Alice and the Red Queen illustrates (解释) the point:“Take a bone from a dog. What remains?”, asked the Red Queen.Alice considered: “The bone wouldn’t remain. And the dog wouldn’t remain; it would come to bite (咬) me –and I’m sure I shouldn’t remain!”“Then you think nothing would remain?” said the Red Queen.“I think that’s the answer”.“Wrong,” said the Red Queen: “the dog’s temper (脾气) would remain.”Thus, Alice’s journey down the hole turns out to be a philosopher’s quest (追寻) for true knowledge. In Sophie’s World by Norwegian author Jostein Gaarder, the philosopher tells Sophie she must think like a child to be a true philosopher. Wonderland is the place to do this, to release your inhibitions (压抑), let go of pre-conceptions (偏见) and really get to grips (掌握) with reality.I had fun with ...T HIS winter break I haven’t spent much time with my parents. Today, I felt I should make it up to them.This morning, I went with them to the gym and while my mom exercised, I played basketball with my dad. Even though he’s middle-aged, he still has some juice in him. He actually beat (打败) me.After that, we went to eat lunch at a local dim sum (点心) restaurant. It was full. We decided that it wasn’t worth it and we went to an American restaurant that my parents went to when they were young. The food was really good. I was surprised at the fact that my parents liked food other than Chinese.As for me, I get a little bored with Chinese food since I eat it every day. I wanted to explore. We ended up eating a load of food, including chicken wings, clam chowder (a kind of soup that came from England), and even New York steak (牛排) with a steamed (蒸) potato.Stuffed (塞满的) with food, we decided to take a walk in a mall. We looked through a lot of clothes stores. This part of the day was my least favorite because my parents didn’t let me buy anything. But it was still nice to look through some cool clothes and more.Later, we found a movie theater. My mom wanted to see a movie called It’s Complicated. But there were no tickets left so we went to see Up in the Air. It was a pretty good film. It’s a movie about the importance of famil y life.This day has taught me that once in a while, it is OK to spend time with your family. Parents can be fun when they are not pressuring (施压) you about homework or school.Victory with graceIN Vancouver, former “bad girl” Wang Meng, 25, again proved her talent in short track speed skating, winning three gold medals. She claims that the 14-day event helped her, finally, to grow up.By triumphing (获胜) in the women’s 500m, 1,000m and 3,000m relay at the Winter Games, Wang became China’s first athlete to win three gold medals at a single Olympics.“I don’t feel these three gold medals belong to me. What is important is that th e Chinese short track team has won four (gold) medals,” Wang told reporters.Her victories were the best possible way to show her gratitude (感激) to Li Yan, whom she had once rebelled (叛逆) against.After she won the 500m title, Wang twice knelt (下跪) down on the ice, bowing deeply to her coaches, the officials and her teammates.“It was the only way to express my appreciation (感激),” she said. “I want to thank my coach Li Yan. She taught me how to cope with all the corners. Most importantly, she told me to compete with myself, which boosted (提升) my confidence.”It was a very different story from three years ago, when Li had just taken over the position of coach to the Chinese national team.At the 2007 Asian Winter Games, Wang, top skater on the team, openly cr iticized Li’s teaching methods.Wang told journalists that she wanted “to go back to the provincial team after the Games because the national team doesn’t suit me”.Her words had a bad effect on the whole team and finally led to the banning (禁赛) of Wang from competing at that year’s World Championships.“It was irresponsible (不负责任的) to make such remarks (言论). I’m so sorry. I accept the punishment,” said Wang in her apology.The ban on Wang was a blow to China’s performance at the World Championships.Three months later, Wang returned to the national team.“She is still young and has a great future,” said coach Li.The big improvement impressed the young skater and trust gradually grew between athlete and coach. Wang also enjoyed a good run in the competitions that followed.“Through working with Wang these years, I have felt her progress not only technically (技术上地), but also mentally,” Li said. “She has grown up.”Drought hits SouthwestA SEVERE (严重的) drought across a large area of Southwest China is now affecting more than 50 million people. The weather seems unlikely to change in the short term.The drought (干旱) began last autumn, affecting over 4 million hectares (公顷) of farmland in Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan and Chongqing. Experts say the drought is a result of less rainfall, insufficient (不足的) water reserves, dated irrigation (灌溉) projects, environmental damage and global climate change.More than 20 million people are having difficulty accessing (获得) safe drinking water. Economic losses as a result of the drought have reached 19 billion yuan. It has been so severe that cracks (裂缝) have appeared at Kunming Wujiaba Airport in Yunnan.But thanks to measures taken under the leadership of the central government, the drinking water problem has been greatly eased today. Local authorities are digging up deep wells and creating artificial (人工的) rain. Other parts of China are helping by giving water and donating other resources.China pays tribute to ...CHINESE people around the world regard (看做) themselves as yanhuang zisun – the descendents (后代) of Yan Emperor (Yandi) and Yellow Emperor (Huangdi). These are common ancestors who helped develop Chinese culture 5,000 years ago. April 16 (the third day of the third month on Chinese lunar calendar) is supposed to be Huangdi’s birthday. Grand ceremonies will be held in Xinzheng, Henan province, t he birthplace of Huangdi, to remember him. And every year thousands of people gather in Baoji, Shaanxi province to pay their respects to Yandi on Tomb Sweeping Day. Huangdi and Yandi both lived in the last years of primitive (远古的) China. They were the leaders of two different tribes (部落) living along the Yellow River in present-day Shaanxi. There are many stories about Yangdi and Huangdi. The most well known is their battle against troublemaker Chiyou, another tribe leader. Chiyou started the war but Yandi and Huangdi worked together to defeat him. The two emperors both made great contributions to the development of civilization. Huangdi taught people how to build houses, breed livestock (养育家畜), grow food and invented the boat, musical instruments and written characters. Yandi invented many farm tools and taught his people how to engage (从事) in agricultural production, such as how to turn the soil with a plow (犁). He tested all kinds of plants and discovered various medicinal materials for treating diseases.An actor’s journeyHE had previously (从前) been known – if he had been known at all – for his weird (古怪的) performances in films such as Edward Scissorhands (《剪刀手爱德华》). Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, US actor Johnny Depp, 46, described himself as “the guy who had been bouncing (起伏) around the film industry for years and years”. “I’d be lucky if five or 10 people would see my movies,” he said. Depp said that he was no blockbuster (大片) actor. But things changed dramatically in 2003. Ever since he starred as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean series, he has become one of the most popular actors in Hollywood. In his latest movie, Alice in Wonderland, Depp stays with his eccentric (奇怪的) style. He plays the Mad Hatter, a character Alice meets in Wonderland. The reason why Depp has taken up unusual roles can possibly be traced back to his difficult childhood. Depp lived in 20 different places as a child before ending up in Florida. Depp described how this nomadic (流浪的) lifestyle made him feel like “an outsider” as a teenager. “Growing up, I always had a feeling that it was OK to be different, b ut it seems to me that there’s this fear of being different – nobody wants to be considered crazy or weird,” he said. “But I gradually learned to maintain (保留) a sense of myself.” Never studious (刻苦的) and deeply upset by his parents’ divorce, Depp dropped out of school at age 16. He dreamed of becoming a rock musician and even moved to Los Angeles to try to get a record deal. It didn’t work out. He took up a job as a ballpoint-pen salesman to support himself. Failed musician Depp eventually got a role on 21 Jump Street, a TV show. He became an instant (立刻) teen idol, which he hated. He preferred to play loner (孤独的人), misunderstood characters on the big screen. “With any part you play, there is a certain amount of yourself in it. There has to be, otherwise it’s just not acting. It’s lying,” he said of his roles.PenTAIWAN pop singer Cyndi Wang (王心凌), 28, has been quiet for a long time since switching (转换) to a new company. But now she will be going to several cities, including Beijing, Changsha and Nanjing to promote (推广) her new album, Heart to Heart (《心电心》). Wang, who has been called “Sweet Princess” (甜蜜教主), has made noticeable (显著的) changes to her approach for this new CD. She has attempted rock music and penned lyrics for some of the songs herself. Wang has also changed her sweet image for something more mature.Pen这里是动词,意为“写作”(To write or compose with or as if with a pen)。
