Harry was worried.He remembered selling the woman a return ticket.“Come into the office, Madam,” he said politely.“I’ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd.”

“I’m four,” the child said proudly.“I’ll be four and a half.” Harry turned to the mother.“I remember your ticket, Madam,” he said.“But you didn’t get one for your daughter, did you?”

“Er, well——” the woman looked at the child.“I mean...she hasn’t started school yet.She’s only four.”

“A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam.A child’s return ticket to Jersey costs…let me see…£13.50.So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe£1.50.The law is the law, but since the fault was mine…”

阅读理解Education as a career or a job

Do you want to become a teacher? If you do, then you should recognise that in England, the US and other Western countries, the term •teacher' covers a wide range of jobs which can be seen as forming an occupational hierarchy ranging from high status, high income careers to lower paid positions.

At all levels of education, university, school and kindergarten, there are a mixture of well paid, secure careers with prornotional prospects and casual jobs with no prospects. In education, if a job is a secure one, it is called tenured. If it is casual work, it is called non-tenured. Non-tenured jobs in education are paid well whilst the person is working; but out of the semester, i. e. for twelve or fourteen weeks of the year, the worker gets no employment. The tenured teacher or lecturer gets paid for every week of the year, even over the long school or university holidays. They also get extra payments that the non-tenured people do not receive. For example, they receive contributions from their employer that go towards their superannuation fund. They also get paid if they become ill or need maternity leave. When the teacher or lecturer is tenured, she or he is regarded as having a career, but the non-tenured worker is often regarded as just having a job.

The level of academic qualification and the extent of teaching experience will largely determine where a person is placed in the teaching hierarchy. However, in England now the government is asking universities to be more market-oriented and to plan research pmjects and create courses that will sell on the open market. Now that universities in England are o moving toward a more market oriented status, they are trying to find ways to save money and there is great pressure to employ more lecturers on a casual not a tenured basis.

Why do people want to become lecrurers or teachers? There is a lot of in the study of occupational choice. Many occupations have been studied to determine why people chose a particular occupation. In education, two general findings emerged: some people feel that they have a mission to teach and want to be a successful teacher, whereas others have a purely instrumental approach. An instrumental approach means that teacbing is chosen not to fulfill a lifetime ambition but just as way of earning a living. This instrumental approach is likely to develop with the casuälisation of education.

阅读理解Have you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your mind was a million miles away? You probably felt

阅读理解Have you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your mind was a million miles away? You probably felt sorry and made up your mind to pay attention and never have daydreaming again. Most of us, from earliest school days, have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time.

"On the contrary," says L. Giambra, an expert in psychology(心理学), "daydreaming is quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldn't get done all the thinking it has to do during a normal day... You can't possibly do all your thinking with a conscious(有意识的) mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming then may be one way that the unconscious and conscious states of mind have silent dialogues."

Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful. At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s. Eric Klinger, a professor of psychology, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinger says, "We know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures...Day dreams really are a window on the things we fear and the things we long for in life."

Daydreams are usually very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand. It's easier to gain a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine your sleep dreams carefully.

Daydreams help you recognize the difficult situations in your life and find out a possible way of handling them.

Daydreams cannot be predicted(预料); they move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy.

So the next time you catch yourself daydreaming, don't stop. Just pay attention to your dream. It may be more important than you think.

1. Daydreaming used to be considered __________.

A)very simple and direct

B) a necessary part of thinking

C)unimportant or even harmful

D)the result of an unconscious mind

2. In what way are daydreams different from sleep dreams?

A) Daydreams are easier for us to understand.

B) Daydreams are not so easy for us to control and direct.

C) Daydreams help us to handle more difficult situations.

D) Daydreams help to develop an unconscious mind.

3. People get a better understanding of daydreams in __________.

A)the early 1970s

B) the late 1970s

C)the early 1980s

D) the late 1980s

4. Professor Eric Klinger believes that ___________.

A) we may study our experiences just through our daydreams

B) daydreaming is one of the important ways that we recognize our lives

C) we should be able to tell our futures by having daydreams

D)our fears and longings in life are shown in our daydreams

5. The writer of the article thinks that ____________.

A) Professor Eric Klinger has a better idea than L. Giambra

B)daydreaming with an unconscious mind will do good to health

C)daydreaming is more helpful than sleep dreams

D)many artists and scientists are famous because they have daydreams

6. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A)Daydreaming was once regarded as a cause of some mental illnesses.

B) Scientists believe that we can know daydreams before having them.

C)Experts began to have a better understanding of daydreams in the late 1980s.

D) Many well-known artists gained energy of creation from daydreams.

阅读理解A good opportunity for many international students to pursue a higher education is to leave their native country and come to the United States.

阅读理解A good opportunity for many international students to pursue a higher education is to leave their native country and come to the United States.

189 international students, mostly from India, decided to attend Southern University.

Following his father’s footstep, Rajeshekhar Chimmalgi, a freshman of physics major from India, came to Baton Rouge in 1998 and attended Southern University. He has good things to say to hopeful attendees.

“At Southern, the physics department staff and students helped me get through the registration process and advised me how to study and what classed to take,” Cimmalgi said.

The majority of international students at Southern are there to obtain a graduate degree and then return to their home country. However, during their short stay in the U. S., many international students find it hard to fit in.

“It’s really difficult because you are the only one and you don’t know anyone.” Chimmalgi said.

One of the easiest ways for them to feel comfortable is to be around people from their own culture. “I have some friends from Jamaica and Trinidad, so I don’t feel so out of place.” said one student named Boogle.

Farhana Lubna, a third semester graduate student from Bangladesh, feels that Southern could do more to make them feel comfortable. He said, “At Louisiana State University, they have an international expo and foreign students introduce their culture to the university. I think Southern could do something similar to that.”

A) Jamaica.

2. How many students came from abroad at Southern University?

B) 198.

C) 289.

A) It is the best university in the States.

B) It has the largest number of international students in the States.

C) It is the university that his father graduated from.

D) It has the best international student program in the States.

4. How did Chimmalgi feel about studying at Southern University?

A) He was receiving the best education.

B) The staff and students were very helpful.

C) He found it very hard to fit in the American culture.

D) He felt out of place most of the time.

5. What did most international students plan to do after graduation?

A) Returning to their home country.

B) Staying for postgraduate studies.

C) Getting a job in the States.

D) Working for some international expos.

6. What can Southern University do to improve its international student program?
