问答题1. The well-known phrase "honoring the teacher and respecting his teaching" has ling been a part of Chinese tradition and culture. According to recent Global Teacher Status Index, teachers have the highest social status in China across the world. The following is a new report on people's view on teaching profession. Read it carefully and write your response in about 300 words, in which you should: 1. summarize briefly the public's view on teaching profession nowadays; 2. give your comment. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. As Teacher's Day is approaching, the China Youth Daily received 1,089 reader responses from a nationwide survey. Results indicated that the teaching profession is still a respectable occupation; 91.6 percent voted that they wanted the most outstanding people to be teachers. "The profession of teacher should be the most respectable occupation in our society. The group should consist of the most outstanding people, or our nation's development will be affected," a respondent stated in the poll. Asked about which kind of teachers are the most outstanding ones, some readers answered: "Not all talented teachers are outstanding in their fields. An excellent teacher ought to be first of all a person of high morals, since teachers educate young people." Even more interesting, 76.3 percent of the respondents said that a teacher is someone who influenced them most. But people's views toward what kind of teachers are good teachers have changed. Another survey this June showed that 81.6 percent of the people admired knowledgeable teachers, 67.6 percent liked teachers who made their classes easy and interesting, and 51.9 percent preferred teachers with a good sense of humor. In short, being knowledgeable is the first and most important aspect of being a teacher, and on this basis, students clearly prefer lively and witty teachers. The bad news: recent years have seen the rapid reduction of normal universities and colleges. Many have been upgraded to comprehensive universities by name changes and mergers. Education experts worry that this kind of development will harm teacher training because these courses were conducted in those types of universities or colleges. The good news: The latest government work report states that the country would provide free education for students attending teacher training universities. The policy has become a reality as a total of 11,000 students enrolled in six teacher-training universities have now begun enjoying free education as of last week. These students began registration respectively at the six universities based in Beijing, Shanghai, Changchun, Wuhan, Xi'an and Chongqing on September 4. 73 percent of the readers who responded to the survey believed that the free education policy signals that the country is paying greater attention to education and teachers. 60.1 percent of the respondents said that the policy should be popularized and extended to more normal universities and colleges. Of those polled, the majority (55.6 percent) said that they wanted to be university or college teachers, because of the "high salary and low pressure, good working environment and non-fixed office hours." "Some teachers even have their own research program." 29.5 percent wanted to be middle school teachers, 13.4 percent wanted to be kindergarten teachers, and 8.2 percent say they didn't want to teach at all. Some respondents said that the salary of rural teachers in central and western areas should be increased. If not, even those students who enjoy free education in normal universities and love their teaching jobs will still face the ultimate question: choose their dream job or find something better to make ends meet?

问答题. Section A In this section there are several passages followed by fourteen multiple-choice questions. For each multiple-choice question, there are four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer and mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO. Passage One As I ponder whom it might be that I would consider a role model, I realized that there are a lot of people I know personally that I could look to for inspiration. But I am sharing these thoughts with others who most likely do not know my friend or my sister-in-law or the gal I work with. Therefore I think I should write about someone famous. But, it seems that these days there are not a lot of good role models to choose from, at least not from the "typical" choices that we usually think of as role models. I realize celebrities' private lives should be just that; but when a person is in the limelight perhaps they should use that notoriety for some sort of good. There are some criteria that my role model must possess. First, she must be close to my age. She has to have overcome some obstacle, or maybe better said, did not have her "celebrity" status handed to her. Finally, she must be helping others. Sharing the blessings she has received with others. I believe that someone who fits those criteria quite well is Oprah Winfrey. Oprah Winfrey's life has had a very difficult and tumultuous beginning. She was born in 1954 to a poor, unmarried black girl living in the very racially segregated state of Mississippi. For a while, Oprah was raised by her grandmother, after her mother moved north. She eventually went to live with her father in Nashville, after having survived body abuse and the birth and death of baby of her own. Oprah's rise to fame began in Baltimore, then Chicago, with her hosting morning talk shows, such as "A. M. Chicago". She became so popular that in 1986, she launched "The Oprah Winfrey Show". Oprah began her own production company, Harpo, and obtained control of "The Oprah Winfrey Show", which was now in syndication. In 1994, Oprah did something that caught my attention and with which she gained my respect. She decided to break away from the mold of other daytime talk shows and pledged that her show would be free from "tabloid topics". Her viewers responded slowly, but very positively, and her popularity surged. "The Oprah Winfrey Show" was now centered on uplifting, meaningful subjects, many of which are aimed towards women. Oprah has used her gaining popularity, in my opinion, to launch many meaningful projects. She launched Oprah's Book Club in 1996. The Book Club is an on-air reading club intended to get the country excited about literature again. To date, all the book club selections have become instant bestsellers. Oprah's Angel Network was started in 1997, encouraging people to open their hearts to those in need. This includes a project to collect small change to send students to college and to sponsor Habitat for Humanity programs. Oprah has been able to share her blessings with others while keeping her pledge to focus "The Oprah Winfrey Show" on subjects that will encourage her viewers. Each week her shows cover such topics as spirituality, wellness, fitness, relationships, steps towards financial freedom and more. Winfrey's talent for public performance and spontaneity in answering questions helped her win fame. Winfrey talk show has an estimated audience of 14 million daily in the US and millions more in 132 other countries—predominantly women. She is also an accomplished actress and won an Academy Award nomination for her role in The Color Purple. Another reason that I admire Oprah is because she genuinely seems to be "just a regular gal". Her book, Make the Connection shows how Oprah is like any other woman. The painful revelations she shares about her struggle with weight loss really touched me. Even as she was given an Emmy Award, her thoughts were on how heavy she must look in the dress she was wearing. Once, I went to a lecture given by one of Oprah's favorite authors. As we were sitting before the lecture began, a couple of black women walked in. My friend said, "Oh look, there's Oprah," I said, "no it's not", she said, "yes it is" and back and forth we went. Well, as it turns out, it was Oprah. She looked just like the rest of us; she did not come in amongst media frenzy as might be expected. When the speaker introduced her, she was almost embarrassed to stand. I feel Oprah is a genuinely nice person, someone who would be a great girl friend. She has a head on her shoulders and knows where she is going. She has made a name for herself and is not embarrassed by her wealth and knows the importance of sharing the blessings that have been bestowed upon her.

American kids are born into a culture that loves its gambling, and the passion is only growing, as financial hardships sweeten the ever alluring prospect of a lucky break. The danger, of course, is that gambling can lead to compulsive gambling—and compulsive gambling can be a life wrecker. Now, a new study in the Archives of Pediatrics Adolescent Medicine suggests that it may be possible to spot the people most at risk when they're as young as 5 years old. Problem gambling, like all addictions, is at least partly rooted in poor impulse control, and if there's any place people make their want-it-now neediness known, it's in kindergarten. Psychologist Linda Pagani of the Sainte-Justice University Hospital Research Center and the University of Montreal conducted a longitudinal study that began in 1999, when she assembled a sample group of 163 kindergartners with a median age of 5.5 years. The kids' teachers filled out a questionnaire in which they rated each child's degree of inattentiveness, distractibility and hyperactivity on a scale of 1 to 9. Pagani tallied the scores and then tucked the findings away. Six years later, she conducted follow-up interviews with the same children and asked whether any of them had begun gambling. The results were surprising. Although the kids were still a long way from being old enough for Vegas or the track, many admitted that they were already playing bingo, cards, video poker or other video games for money; buying lottery tickets; or placing bets on professional sports. "The majority of kids were not engaging in any of these activities," says Pagani, "but the fact that any of them were was unexpected." What struck Pagani most was how predictable the identities of the gamblers were. When she referred back to the ratings from kindergarten, she found that every one-unit increase on the impulsivity scale correlated with a 25% jump in the likelihood a child would be gambling by sixth grade. "The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual already refers to gambling specifically as an impulse-control disorder," she says, citing the official text that outlines diagnostic criteria for mental disorders. "And then there were our findings showing that." Knowing early on which children are headed for trouble can pay off in a number of ways. For one thing, it can help families wise up. Some of the parents of the kids in the study saw a little gambling as a minor thing, and a number of them even bought lottery tickets for their kids as a reward for good behavior. That, clearly, sends the wrong message. "Scratch-and-win games are for adults," Pagani says flatly. What's more, not only can kids' behavior benefit when impulse issues are spotted early on, so can their brains. Preschool is a time when the prefrontal lobes, which are the center of executive functions—and what Pagani and others call "effortful control"—are just developing. The better the brain can be trained at this stage, the better it performs later in life. Pagani cites a 2007 study published in the journal Science that showed that simple attention-boosting training taught in kindergarten improved focus and concentration in later years. "You can introduce a cost-effective program and reap enormous benefits," she says. Pagani plans to check in with the kids in her survey again in another six years, when they're finishing high school and preparing to enter the larger world-with its larger temptations. Even if they were born too late to benefit from her findings, she thinks other kids can. "We need to think of impulse-control training as a long-term investment plan," she says, "one that can lead to less addiction, less gambling, a lower dropout rate and lower unemployment." That's a far bigger payoff than you'll ever get playing blackjack or craps. (此文选自 Time) Passage Three When the creators of a new sitcom called The Loop pitched their show to executives at the Fox television network, the broadcast moneymen liked the idea of a sitcom about young guys living in Chicago. But what they loved was the fact that products on the set wouldn't be an afterthought brought in by a prop master. Instead, viewers would see the same products every week, cleverly woven into the plot throughout the season, and characters would discuss the brands—a bit like a 13-week ad campaign. Sure enough, the network picked up the show. Co-creator Will Gluck says he wanted to capture the way guys really talk, discussing cool gadgets and brands in everyday life. Gluck's product-infused formula is rapidly becoming a model for network TV's survival. Thanks in part to technologies like TiVo—which growing numbers of folks are using to blitz past commercials and watch TV on their own schedule—the ad-driven prime time business model that has existed for decades is under assault as never before. In New York City last week, broadcast execs showcased their best hopes for luring viewers back this fall, unveiling dozens of new dramas, sitcoms and reality shows. If history is any guide, most of them will flop, with shows aimed at young guys facing tough competition from video games, and cable channels eroding ever more of the networks' share. As advertisers increasingly chase audience through nontraditional outlets as well, the major networks may be in for a lousy year. While the gloomy financial picture may have something to do with a lack of must-see TV, it's hard to overestimate the challenges posed by ad skipping. At least 6.4 million households now have digital video recorders (DVRS) like TiVo. Cable and satellite providers are pushing the technology hard—40% of households are expected to have DVRS by 2009—while the cable guys are also pitching video on demand (VOD), another technology consumers use to watch content on their own schedule. No wonder some advertisers are turning off the tube. American express has slashed the TV share of its ad budget from 80% a decade ago to less than 35%, replacing commercials, in part, with online mini-films. Pepsi recently relaunched Pepsi One without any TV advertising, which execs at the firm say wouldn't have been the case five years ago. All the more reason advertisers want to TiVo-proof their message. Since 1999, television product-placement deals have surged in value from $ 709 million to $ 1.9 billion, according to the research firm PQ Media. Already, marketers have burrowed into reality shows like Survivor and The Apprentice. This season also brought us a Desperate Housewife fawning over a Buick. Bernie Mac popping Rolaids, a character in According to Jim declares she only wants "the shrimp at Red Lobster" and an episode of Arrested Development set in a Burger King. "We needed as much support for the show as we could get," says Steven Melnick, a senior marketing executive at 20th Century Fox Television, which produces Arrested Development, defending Burger King's starring role. (Typically, media buyers negotiate product placement as part of a package deal with regular ads. ) If muscling in on the development of scripted shows sounds scary, get ready for the next wave. While the networks were presenting their fall lineups last week, media buyers for Sears, for instance, were working up product-integration deals as part of their traditional ad buys. Already a big presence in ABC's Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Sears was eyeing new sitcoms like the WB's Supernatural, and the company isn't interested in providing an appliance as a background prop. "That's not enough to make people shop at Sears," says Perianne Grignon, vice president of media services for Sears. "It's easy to use merchandise as a prop, but we have higher standards." But how much product integration will audiences tolerate before turning off, rea-lizing they're essentially watching an advertorial? No one can say for sure, though ratings for one of the heaviest product-placement vehicles, The Apprentice, fell 20% this season. Mazza claims that as long as products appear "organically" in TV shows, audiences won't mind. Under pressure from advertisers and facing rising costs for scripted shows, network execs say they have scant choice but to develop new revenue streams. No one is predicting the demise of network television, which brought in an estimated $ 16.5 billion in advertising last season. As ABC demonstrated, it takes only a few hits like Desperate Housewives to orchestrate a rebound. But network execs are already dreaming up ways to resell content on platforms like video on demand, cell phones and the Internet. "You gotta figure out a way to make money," says Alan Wurtzel, president of media development for NBC Universal. "We know the consumer is changing and expectations are changing." Question is, will the networks change fast enough too? (此文选自 Time) Passage Four It's hard to miss them: the epitome of casual "geek chic" and organized within the warranty of their Palm Pilots, they sip labor-intensive cafelattes, chat on sleek cellphones and ponder the road to enlightenment. In the U. S. they worry about the environment as they drive their gas-guzzling sports utility vehicles to emporiums of haute design to buy a $ 50 titanium spatula; they think about their tech stocks as they explore specialty shops for Tibetan artifacts in Everest-worthy hiking boots. They think nothing of laying out $ 5 for a wheatgrass muff, much less $ 500 for some alternative rejuvenation at the day-spa—but don't talk about raising their taxes. They are "Bourgeois Bohemians" —or "Bobos" —and they're the new "enlightened elite" of the information age, their lucratively busy lives a seeming synthesis of comfort and conscience, corporate success and creative rebellion. Well-educated thirty-to-forty something, they have forged a new social ethos from a logic-defying fusion of 1960s counter-culture and 1980s entrepreneurial materialism. Combining the free-spirited, artistic rebelliousness of the Bohemian beatnik or hippie with the worldly ambitions of their bourgeois corporate forefathers, the Bobo is a comfortable contortion of caring capitalism. "It's not about making money; it's about doing something you love. Life should be an extended hobby. It's all about working for a company as cool as you are." It is a world inhabited by dotcom millionaires, management consultants, "culture industry" entrepreneurs and all manner of media folk, most earning upwards of $ 100,000 a year—their money an incidental byproduct of their maverick mores, the kind of money they happen to earn while they are pursuing their creative vision. Often sporting such unconventional job titles as "creative paradox"," corporate jester" or "learning person", Bobos work with a monk-like self-discipline because they view their jobs as intellectual, even spiritual. It is a reverse the Midas touch: everything a Bobo touches turns to spirituality, everything has to be about enlightenment. Even their jobs are a mission to improve the world. It is now impossible to tell an espresso-sipping artist from a cappuccino-gulping banker, but it isn't just a matter of style. If you investigate people's attitudes towards sex, morality, leisure time and work, it is getting harder and harder to separate the anti-establishment renegade from the pro-establishment company man. Most people seemed to have rebel attitudes and social-climbing attitudes all scrambled together. These Bobos are just normal middle-class people who are living out a protracted adolescence. Their political interests are either "intensely close and personal" (abortion or gun control), or very remote (the rainforests, Tibet or Third World poverty). But they will most likely express their conscience in their consumerism, relieved to be helping someone somewhere by collecting the hand-carved artifacts of distant cultures. Motivated by spiritual participation, but cautious of moral crusades and religious enthusiasms, they tolerate a little lifestyle experimentation, so long as it is done safely and moderately. They are offended by concrete wrongs, such as cruelty and racial injustice, but are relatively unmoved by lies or transgressions that don't seem to do anyone any obvious harm. It is an elite that has been raised to oppose elites. They are by instinct anti-establishmentarian, yet in some sense they have become a new establishment. They are prosperous without seeming greedy; they have pleased their elders, without seeming conformists; they have risen toward the top without too obviously looking down on those below. While bemoaning the Bobo's "boring politics", the Bobos are an elite superior to their intolerant and warring predecessors—they've certainly made shopping more fun, and they have a good morality for building a decent society.
