His research revealed that the top professions all continue to be dominated， if not 90 percent， then 60 or 65per cent， by Oxbridge graduates.And yet， says Ellis， Oxbridge graduates make up only two percent of the total number of students who graduate from Britain‘s universities. Other researches also seem to support his belief that Oxbridge graduates start with an unfair advantage in the employment market. In the law， a recently published report showed that out of 26 senior judges appointed to the High Court last year ，all of them went to private schools and 21 of them went to Oxbridge.But can this be said to amount to a conspiracy？ Not according to Dr.John Rae，a former headmaster of one of Britain‘s leading private school ，Westminster：“I would accept that there was a bias in some key areas of British life ， but that bias has now gone .Some time ago-in the 60s and before -entry to Oxford and Cambridge was not entirely on merit .Now， there‘s absolutely no question in any objective obser ver’s mind that entry to Oxford and Cambridge is fiercely competitive.”However many would disagree with this. For， although over three-quarters of British pupils are educated in state schools， over half the students that go to Oxbridge have been to private， over half the students that go to Oxbridge have been to private， or “public” school .Is this because pupils from Britain‘s private schools are more intelligent than those from state schools， or are they simply better prepared？On average ，about ￡5，000 a year is spent on each private school pupil， more than twice the amount spent on state school pupils .So how can the state schools be expected to compete with the private schools when they have far fewer resources？And how can they prepare their pupils for the special entrance exam to Oxford University， which requires extra preparation， and for which many public school pupils traditionally stay at school and do an additional term ？Until recently， many blamed Oxford for this bias because of the university‘s special entrance exam （Cam bridge abolished its entrance exam in 1986） But last February ，Oxford University decided to abolish the exam to encourage more state school applicants .From autumn 1996， Oxford University applicants， like applicants to other universities ， will be judged only on their A level results and on their performance at interviews ， although some departments might still set special tests.However， some argue that there‘s nothing wrong in having elite laces of learning ，and by their very nature ，these places should not be easily accessible. Most countries are run by an elite and have centers of academic excellence from which the elite are recruited. Walter Ellis accepts that this is true：“But in France， for example， there are something like 40equivalents of university， which provide this elite through a much broader base ，In America you ‘ve got the Ivy League， centred on Harvard and Yale .with Princeton ad Stanford and others. But again， those universities together-the elite universities-are about ten or fifteen in number ，and are being pushed aling from behind by other great universities like ，for example， Chicago and Berkeley， So you don’t have just this narrow concentration of two universities providing a constantly replicating elite.”When it comes to Oxford and Cambridge being elitist becarse orf he number of private school pupils they accept ， Professor Stone of Oxford University argues that there is a simple fact he and his associates cannot ignore：“If certain schools so better than others then we just have to accept it . We cannot be a place for remedial education. It‘s not what Ocford is there to do .”However， since academic excellence does appear to be related to the amount of money spent per pupil ，this does seem to imply that Prime Minister John Major ‘s vision of Britain as a classless society is still a long way off. And it may be worth rememberin g that while John Major didn’t himself go to Oxbridge most of his ministers did.1. Britain is still dominated by the old- boy network； it isn‘t what you know that matters， but who you know.强调句，不是你懂得知识重要，而是你认识谁重要2. He claims that at Oxford and Cambridge Universities （Oxbridge for short）a few select people start on an escalator ride which， over the years， carries them to the tops of British privilege and power. 比喻少数精选出来的人，进了牛津或剑桥，就像坐上了电梯一样，很快就会爬上英国权力的顶峰。

Text A What Is Culture?
1 The word “culture” has many different meanings. For example, we sometimes say that people who know about art, music, and literature are cultured. However, the word culture has a different meaning for anthropologists (people who study humankind). To an anthropologist the word culture means all the ways in which a group of people act, dress, think, and feel. People have to learn the cultural ways of their community: they are not something that the people in the group are born with.

Text A Work is a blessing
In the late 1980s, during a visit to Bangladesh, I saw a woman with a baby on her back, breaking bricks with a hammer, I asked a Bangladesh military escort why they weren’t using a machine, which would have been a lot easier. He told me a machine would put that lady out of work. Breaking those bricks meant she could earn enough money to feed herself and her baby that day. And as bad as that woman’s job was, it was enough to keep a small family alive, it reminded me of my father’s words: To work is a blessing.
