It’s great fun to explore(探索)new places---it feels like an adventure, even when you know you’re not the first to have been there. But make sure not to get lost or waste time going round in circles.

● Do the map reading if you're being driven somewhere. It'll be easier if you keep turning the map so it follows the direction you' re traveling in. Keep looking ahead so that you can give the driver lots of warning before having to make a turn, or you'll have to move to the back seat.

● Get a group of friends together and go exploring. You'll need a good map, a compass (指南針), a raincoat, a cell phone to call for help in case you get lost, and a bit of spare cash for emergencies (應(yīng)急現(xiàn)金). Tell someone where you're going before you set out and let them know what time you expect to be back. The test is in not getting lost, not in seeing how fast you can go, so always stick together, waiting for slower friends to catch up.

● See if your school or a club organizes orienteering activities, in which you need a map and a compass to find your way. This can be done as a sport, with teams trying to find the way from A to B (and B to C, etc. ) in the fastest time, or simply as a spare-time activity. Either way, it's not only good fun, but a great way to keep fit.

1.Sitting beside the driver, you should ________.

A. direct the driver when necessary

B. look ahead to see where there's a turn

C. move to the back seat if feeling uncomfortable

D. keep looking at the map to find a place to go to

2.Why do you need to tell someone your exploration plan before setting out?

A. To get information when in danger.

B. To be saved in case of an accident.

C. To share the fun with him/her in exploration.

D. To tell him/her what's going on with the group members.

3.Orienteering activities can ________.

A. make people work fast

B. help people stay healthy

C. help people organize other activities

D. make people get prepared for sports

4. The text mainly talks about________.

A. the fun of exploration

B. what to bring for exploration

C. the way to use the map in exploration

D. how to prevent getting lost in exploration

What will higher education look like in 2050? That was the question addressed Tuesday night by Michael Crow, president of Arizona State University.

“We’re at the end of the fourth wave of change in higher education,” Crow began, arguing that research universities followed the initial establishment of higher education, public colleges, and land-grant schools in the timeline of America.

In less than a half-century, he said, global market competition will be at its fastest rates of change ever, with several multitrillion-dollar economies worldwide. According to a recent projection, the nation’s population could reach 435 million, with a large percentage of those residents economically disadvantaged. In addition, climate change will be “meaningfully uncontrollable” in many parts of the world.

The everyday trends seen today, such as declining performance of students at all levels, particularly in math and science, and declining wages and employment among the less educated, will only continue, Crow maintained, and are, to say the least, not contributing to fulfilling the dream of climbing the social ladder mobility, quality of life, sustainable environment, and longer life spans that most Americans share.

“How is it that we can have these great research universities and have negative-trending outcomes?” Crow said in a talk “I hold the universities accountable. … We are part of the problem.”

Among the “things that we do that make the things that we teach less learnable,” Crow said, are the strict separation of disciplines, academic rigidity, and conservatism, the desire of universities to imitate schools at the top of the social ranks, and the lack of the computer system ability that would allow a large number of students to be educated for a small amount of money.

Since 2002, when Crow started being in charge at Arizona State — which he calls the “new American university” — he has led more than three dozen initiatives that aim to make the school “inclusive, scalable, fast, adaptive, challenge-focused, and willing to take risks.”

Among those initiatives were a restructuring of the engineering and life sciences schools to create more linkages between disciplines; the launch of the School of Earth and Space Exploration and the School of Sustainability; the start of a Teachers College to address K-12 performance and increase the status of the Education Department at the university; and broadened access, increasing the freshman class size by 42 percent and the enrollment of students living below the poverty line by 500 percent.

Universities must start, Crow noted, “by becoming self-reflective architects, figuring out what we have and what we actually need instead of what legend tells us we have to be.” Research universities today have “run their course,” he added. “Now is the time for variety.”

During a discussion afterward, Crow clarified and expanded on some of his points. He discussed, for example, the school’s distance-learning program. “Nearly 40 percent of undergraduates are taking at least one course online,” he said, which helps the school to keep costs down while advancing interactive learning technologies.

He said that Arizona State is working to increase the transfer and completion rates of community-college students, of whom only about 15 percent, historically, complete their later degrees. “We’ve built a system that will allow them to track into universities,” particularly where “culturally complex barriers” beyond finances limit even the most gifted students.

1.The fourth wave of change in America’s higher education refers to _______.

A. public colleges

B. land-grant schools

C. research universities

D. initial higher education

2.Which is NOT part of the American dream most people share?

A. People enjoy a quality life.

B. People live longer and longer.

C. The freedom to move around.

D. An environment that is sustainable.

3.Which is an initiative adopted by Crow at Arizona State University?

A. Restructuring the teachers College.

B. Launching the School of Life Sciences.

C. Ignoring the linkages between disciplines.

D. Enrolling more students from poor families.

4.Which one is similar to the underlined word “architect” in meaning?

A. The author of the guidebook is an architect by profession.

B. If you want to refurnish the house, consult the architect.

C. Deng Xiaoping is one of the architects of the PRC.

D. Tom is considered one of the best landscape architect here.

5.With the distance-learning program, Arizona State University is able to ______.

A. enroll 40% of its students online

B. keep costs down without a loss of quality

C. provide an even greater number of courses

D. attract the most gifted students all over the world

A qualified doctor who rarely practiced but instead devoted his life to writing．He once said: “Medicine is my lawful wife, and literature is my lover．” Russian writer Anton Pavlovich Chekhov, was a great playwright and one of the masters of the modern short story．

When Chekhov entered the Moscow University Medical School in 1879, he started to publish hundreds of comic short stories to support his family．After he graduated, he wrote regularly for a local daily newspaper．

As a writer he was extremely fast, often producing a short story in an hour or less．Chekhov’s medical and science experience can be seen through the indifference (冷漠) many of his characters show to tragic events．In 1892, he became a full time writer and published some of his most memorable stories．

Chekhov often wrote about the sufferings of life in small town Russia．Tragic events control his characters who are filled with feelings of hopelessness and despair．

It is often said that nothing happens in Chekhov’s stories and plays．He made up for this with his exciting technique for developing drama within his characters．Chekhov’s work combined the calm attitude of a scientist and doctor with the sensitivity(敏感) of an artist．

Some of Chekhov's works were translated into Chinese as early as the 1940s．One of his famous stories, The Man in a Shell, about a school teacher’s extraordinarily orderly life, was selected as a text for Chinese senior students．

B

We all know what a brain is．A doctor will tell you that the brain is the organ of the body in the head．It controls our body's functions, movements, emotions and thoughts．But a brain can mean so much more．

A brain can also simply be a smart person, If a person is called brainy, she is smart and intelligent．If a family has many children but one of them is super smart, you could say, "She's the brains in the family．" And if you are the brains behind something you are responsible for developing or organizing something．For example, Bill Gates is the

brains behind Microsoft

Brain trust is a group of experts who give advice．Word experts say the phrase

"brain trust" became popular when Franklin D．Roosevelt first ran for president in

1932, Several professors gave him advice on social and political issues facing the U．S．

These professors were called his "brain trust．"

These ways we use the word "brain" all make sense．But other ways we use the

word are not so easy to understand．For example, to understand the next brain

expression, you first need to know the word “drain．" As a verb to drain means to,

remove something by letting it flow away．So a brain drain may sound like a disease

where the brain flows out the ears．But, brain drain is when a country's most educated people leave their countries to live in another．The brains are, sort of, draining out of the country．

However, if people are responsible for a great idea, you could say they brainstormed it．Here, brainstorm is not an act of weather．It is a process of thinking creatively about a complex topic．For example, business leaders may use brainstorming to create new

products, and government leaders may brainstorm to solve problems．

If people are brainwashed, it does not mean their brains are nice and clean．To brainwash means to make someone accept new beliefs by using repeated pressure in a forceful or tricky way．Keep in mind that brainwash is never used in a positive way．

1.According to the text, if you're the CEO of Bai Du you can be called

A．the brains behind Bai Du

B．Bai Du's brain trust

C．the brain drain of Bai Du

D．the organ of Bai Du

2.Why did Roosevelt successfully win the election?

A．Because he was smart at giving advice．

B．Because word experts were popular．

C．Because he got his brain trust．

D．Because he was the brains behind America．

3.Which of the following expression is always used in a negative way?

A．Brain trust

B．Brain drain

C．Brainstorm

D．Brainwash
