In 2012, a new TV reality show became an instant hit with audiences and forever changed the landscape of Chinese television broadcasting. Within a few hours of its first live broadcast on July 13, “The Voice of China” managed to capture the viewers’ attention and hearts.

“The Voice of China”, China’s adaptation of a Dutch reality talent show, sees its hopeful contestants going through a blind audition (試唱)，with four celebrity (名人)coaches picking their teams of singers who will then go on to compete for a recording contract and a highly publicized concert performance.

The show turned out to be an unexpected success, especially at a time when the TV market is basically oversaturated (過飽和的）due to the large numbers of reality talent shows similar to western programs that are coming to viewers on a daily basis , like “American Idol”, “X-Factor” and “You’ve Got Talent.”

In the Chinese edition ,a coach will ask a fellow musician to come to help him or her decide which contestant to pick. Na Ying chose Wang Feng, Liu chose San Bao, Yu chose music producer Wang Chi-ping and Yang chose Coco Lee.

“It’s not a program, it’s a campaign,” the memo said, “We want to bring back China’s belief in music and restore the people’s cultural confidence.”

Summarized why the show is so fascinating, Jin Lei said,” China’s top singing and recording artists can have a dialogue with average people here , but at the same time they don’t know what they are going to get.”

“This is like the Roman Colosseum, people have to fight to change their life. This is where the dramatic tension lies in,”he added.

The National Outline for Medium and Long Term Education Reform and Development (2010 - 20) was released over the weekend. Here are some of the highlights:

Four – percent effort

The government says spending on education will be 4 percent of GDP by 2012. globally, average spending on education is about 4.5% of GDP. China spend 3,33% in 2008. according to Hu Angang, of Tsinghua University’s Center for China Studies, even if China reaches that goal, it will only rank about 100 th out of 188 countries.

Administrative rank

Administrative rankings for school leaders are to be phased out to tackle the bureaucracy (官僚機構) problem that limits educational development, according to Cheng Fangping, of the national Institute for Educational Research. Areas like teaching programs, scientific research, and technological development will be more independent.

Vocational Education

The system will be free of charge. According to Wu Yan, of Beijing Institute of Educational Sciences, this will be key to developing China’s production capacity and will improve poor people’s lives dramatically.

Entering college

    Universities could eventually have the freedom to choose some of their own high school applicants. Normally, students are accepted based on the uniform national exam scores. Also, students who agree to go to a remote area could be admitted to university under special circumstances. The most likely change could come on the college entrance English test, which might be modeled on the IELTS or TOEFL. Students will be able to take it several times and pick their best score.

56．Which of the following is true in the future according to the passage?

      A．Applicants could take the IELTS or TOEFL instead of the college entrance English test.

       B．Colleges will be given the right to choose all of their own applicants.

       C．Vocational education will be party free to make people’s lives better.

       D．Applicants could sit for the college entrance English test more than once.

57．Which of the following words is closest in meaning to “uniform” in the last paragraph?

       A．formal      B．official     C．same D．united

58．We can learn from the passage even though our country spends 4% of GDP on education in 2012,          .

       A．there will still be 188 countries ahead of China in this aspect

       B．China will certainly overtake the global average spending on education

       C．there might be nearly 100 countries ahead of China in this aspect

       D．China will be the 100 th country to spend over the global average on education

59．From the third paragraph, we can infer that         .

      A．school leaders will have more freedom to manage the school

       B．schools will have more limits from the government

       C．School administrative rankings are to be strengthened to solve the bureaucracy problem

       D．schools and research centers will be fully independent from the government

Software company SAS climbed to the top of the global list this year, edging up from the No. 2 spot it held last year. So what makes this company so great to work for? Well, for one thing, its leaders are certainly accessible. CEO Jim Goodnight hosts monthly “Conversations Over Coffee,” unscripted breakfast meetings that are open to all employees. These conversations are so popular that other division heads have begun to hold similar events for their employees.
