Dropouts for Ph. D. s
Educators are seriously concerned about the high rate of dropouts among the doctor of philosophy candidates and the consequent loss of talent to a nation in need of Ph. D. s. Some have placed the dropouts loss as high as 50 percent. The extent of the loss was, however, largely a matter of expert guessing. Last week a well-rounded study was published. It was published. It was based on 22,000 questionnaires sent to former graduate students who were enrolled in 24 universities and it seemed to show many past fears to be groundless.
The dropouts rate was found to be 31 per cent, and in most cases the dropouts, while not completing the Ph. D. requirement, went on to productive work. They are not only doing well financially, but, according to the report, are not far below the income levels of those who went on to complete their doctorates.
Discussing the study last week, Dr. Tucker said the project was initiated ‘because of the concern frequently expressed by graduate faculties and administrators that some of the individuals who dropped out of Ph. D. programs were capable of competing the requirement for the degree. Attrition at the Ph. D. level is also thought to be a waste of precious faculty time and a drain on university resources already being used to capacity. Some people expressed the opinion that the shortage of highly trained specialists and college teachers could be reduced by persuading the dropouts to return to graduate schools to complete the Ph. D.’
“The results of our research” Dr. Tucker concluded, “did not support these opinions.”
1). Lack of motivation was the principal reason for dropping out.
2). Most dropouts went as far in their doctoral program as was consistent with their levels of ability or their specialities（特性）
3). Most dropouts are now engaged in work consistent with their education and motivation.
Nearly 75 per cent of the dropouts said there was no academic reason for their decision, but those who mentioned academic reason cited failure to pass the qualifying examination, uncompleted research and failure to pass language exams. Among the single most important personal reasons identified by dropouts for non-completion of their Ph. D. program, lack of finances was marked by 19 per cent.
As an indication of how well the dropouts were doing, a chart showed 2% in humanities were receiving $ 20,000 and more annually while none of the Ph. D. ‘s with that background reached this figure. The Ph. D. ‘s shone in the $ 7,500 to $ 15,000 bracket with 78% at that level against 50% for the dropouts. This may also be an indication of the fact that top salaries in the academic fields, where Ph. D. ‘s tend to rise to the highest salaries, are still lagging behind other fields.
As to the possibility of getting dropouts back on campus, the outlook was glum. The main condition which would have to prevail for at least 25 % of the dropouts who might consider returning to graduate school would be to guarantee that they would retain their present level of income and in some cases their present job.
The author states that many educators feel that
A steps should be taken to get the dropouts back to campus.
B the dropouts should return to a lower quality school to continue their study.
C the Ph. D. holder is generally a better adjusted person than the dropout.
D The high dropouts rate is largely attributable to the lack of stimulation on the part of faculty members.
Research has shown that
A Dropouts are substantially below Ph. D. ‘s in financial attainment.
B the incentive factor is a minor one in regard to pursuing Ph. D. studies.
C The Ph. D. candidate is likely to change his field of specialization if he drops out.
D about one-third of those who start Ph. D. work do not complete the work to earn the degree.
Meeting foreign language requirements for the Ph. D.
A is the most frequent reason for dropping out.
B is more difficult for the science candidate than for the humanities candidate.
C is an essential part of many Ph. D. programs.
D does not vary in difficulty among universities.
After reading the article, one would refrain from concluding that
A optimism reigns in regard to getting Ph. D. dropouts to return to their pursuit of the degree.
B a Ph. D. dropout, by and large, does not have what it takes to learn the degree.
C colleges and universities employ a substantial number of Ph. D. dropouts.
D Ph. D. ‘s are not earning what they deserve in nonacademic positions.
It can be inferred that the high rate of dropouts lies in
A salary for Ph. D. too low. B academic requirement too high.
C salary for dropouts too high. D 1,000 positions.

As we all know, any country has good reasons to want its citizens to be as healthy as possible. This led to the introduction of a health service in many countries. France has developed into a country in which all citizens can get most of the health treatment free. The money for this is partly from the people who are willing to offer.
But there are different opinions about the Health Service. The number of patients treated every year and the cost of treatment are much greater than expected. This means that the people who work for the Health Service --- doctors, nurses and other hospital workers, have much more work to do, and as a result they have little time for preventive treatment.
However, the tough problem is that as many people are able to receive treatment more expensive than they can pay, sometimes people go and visit their doctors when they don’t really need to. As there are many patients, doctors cannot spend time long enough with each patient. So some people prefer to pay for their own treatment so that their doctors can examine them more carefully. In fact, some rich people feel that they should pay more free money, which would be given to other citizens.
【小題1】 France is described as an example to show that __________.
| A．people have to pay part of the medical care |
| B．everyone in France enjoys free medical care |
| C．it is a country with the Health Service |
| D．it is a very rich country in Europe |
| A．Money is not enough to employ more medical workers. |
| B．There are not enough well-treated doctors. |
| C．People can get more preventive treatment. |
| D．Doctors and nurses are not working hard. |
| A．To keep himself even more healthy. | B．To receive treatment free of charge. |
| C．To take back some expensive medicine. | D．To get necessary protective treatment. |
| A．The Health Service is quite successful so far. |
| B．People should not go to the doctors unless necessary. |
| C．There is much to improve the Health Service. |
| D．The rich should be allowed to pay for the treatment. |

Poverty today is a major global issue. Although there are all kinds of definitions used to explain it, in simple words, it means the inability of a person to even get his basic needs of food, shelter, clothing, safe drinking water, health and education. Poverty can be found in each and every corner of the world, although the causes may differ from country to country. Given below are the main causes of poverty in the world today.
Overpopulation is one of the main causes behind the threatening of poverty on an individual level as well as a social level. This is simple math. If there are more mouths to feed and less income, definitely much will remain poor.
Another theory which is used as an explanation for poverty is lack of education. If you look at any of the underdeveloped countries, you will find that the level of education there is very low. Lack of education means lack of employment opportunities, thus leading to unemployment coupled with poverty in the future.
Moving away from one’s own homeland to another city or country in search of employment leads to poverty too. It may take these people a lot of time to find jobs. Meanwhile they live in bad conditions. The cost of living in the city or country is most of the time too high for them.
There may be other causes of poverty like the change in business. For example, in America, a couple of decades ago, heavy industry flourished, which employed a lot of African-American people. But now, the focus is more on information technology and health care, both of which employ only skilled and trained people. This has led to unemployment among African-Americans.
Poverty has many ill effects on society. That’s why steps should be taken to get rid of it!
【小題1】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “flourished” in Paragraph 5?
(No more than 5 words)
【小題2】Why is overpopulation a cause of poverty today? (No more than12 words)
【小題3】What’s the situation of education in underdeveloped countries? (No more than 8 words)
【小題4】What does the passage mainly talk about? (No more than 10 words)
【小題5】In your opinion, what’s the most significant cause of poverty today? Please give your reason. (No more than 25 words)
