There were days in which Danny could forget that he had graduated from Boston University. After 17 years of education in the finest schools in America, he couldn't repair a burnt connection in his car or locate a carburetor ( 化油器 ). Danny is an educated man. He is a master of writing papers, taking tests, talking, and filling out forms. He can discuss Freud from a Marxian viewpoint and he can discuss Marx from a Freudian viewpoint. In short, Danny is a worker without skills, and he has a sociology degree to prove it. He is of very little use to American industry. This is nothing new. Colleges have been turning out workers of this sort for decades. Until five years ago, most of these workers took their degrees in sociology, philosophy, political science, or history, and marched right into the American middle class. Some found work in business and government but many, if not most, went into education, which is the only thing they knew anything about. Once there, they taught another generation the skills necessary to take tests and write papers. But the cycle broke down. There are too many teachers these days, college applications are down, plumbers are making 12 an hour, and graduates with degrees in fields like sociology are faced with a choice: graduate school or drive a taxi. Danny chose the taxi because driving was about the only skill he had that he could make money with. Danny refers to his job as "Real World 101". He has been beaten and shot at. But he has also acquired some practical skills: he can get his tickets fixed; he knows how to cheat the company out of a few extra dollars a week; he found his carburetor, and he can fix it. 46.What did Danny's schooling teach him?A. How to repair cars. B. How to make choices. C. How to write papers. D. How to teach classes. 47.Five years ago, a college degree ensured ______________.A. a position doing graduate studies B. a skilled job for college graduates C. a place in the American middle class D. a set of skills that was very useful 48.What is causing the system of college study to break down?A. There are better jobs to be had. B. There are not enough students. C. There are too many teachers. D. There are few good jobs for us. 49.Why did Danny choose to drive a taxi after he graduated from college?A. He wanted to get more true experience in society. B. He wanted to learn the new skill of repairing cars. C. Taxi drivers can earn more than middle class people. D. He had no o

A British study found that B vitamins could reduce brain shrinkage in older people with mild memory loss. It showed that B vitamins caused an average one-third reduction in brain shrinkage among adults who had trouble in remembering. Retired Oxford University pharmacology（药理学） professor David Smith was a leader of the study. He praised the use of the vitamins as simple and safe. He also said researchers do not yet know if B vitamins could prevent or slow Alzheimer's disease（阿尔茨海默病）. vitamins are important for good health. These complex organic substances help to carry out chemical changes within cells. If we do not get enough of the vitamins we need in our food, we are at risk of developing a number of diseases. Some shrinkage of the brain is thought to happen normally as people grow older. Yet studies have shown a link between a larger shrinkage and Alzheimer's disease. The Oxford researchers say about one in six people over age seventy has problems with mental operations. They say half of these people develop serious loss of mental ability, as in Alzheimer's disease. Over time, the disease robs people of their memories. Finally, it takes away their ability to care for themselves.31. According to the British study, B vitamins can help people who have trouble in _.

Teaching and Learning can be more productive with the aid of today’s smartphone empowered education applications.Vocabulary building is perhaps the single-most essential aspect of language learning. Conventional ways of language teaching and learning have usually relied on classroom teaching and textbook lessons. Video coaching and e-learning were later thrown into the mix. Education websites also grew to meet the needs of students. All these new additions were particularly helpful for language learners, since the domain of foreign language learning has found immense assistance in audio-visual aid. Language tutorial videos, flashcards, online dictionaries and other such material has made vocabulary building easier, more effective and hassle-free.Then came the concept of smartphones. With the boom in the smartphone market, the domain of language learning got a facelift. Smartphone apps joined the fray (竞争).Teachers started making use of learning apps while instructing and students started using them as well. You can have an entire suiteof applications to improve productivity while teaching.Language Learning AppsLanguage learning apps provide not only vocabulary databases, but also pronunciation guides, subtitled videos, podcasts, word cards and a range of audio-visual and other tools to enhance learning. These phone apps make for a learning system that not only strengthen vocabulary, but also ensure proper pronunciation and spelling skills. Some of these apps are:Busuu: Scott McGinn, an ESL teacher, swears by English learning apps to instruct his students. “They are a great way to make foreign students understand colloquialisms and phrases used by native English speakers”, he says. His favorite is Busuu, a popular app that uses rewards, achievements and trivia to put the spark back into learning. It offers a social feature that allows the student to interact with native speakers online.Duolingo: Duolingo uses crowdsourcing to provide users with the option to translate content with their new learning. Gamification(游戏化) has been gaining popularity in the learning scene and Duolingo makes clever use of it. Higher scores unlock further lessons and progress is tracked.Mental Case (iOS) and AnkiDroid (Android): Many new apps use flash cards to help students remember and practice lessons. In fact, there are whole flash card apps, such as Mental Case (iOS) and AnkiDroid (Android). Stacey O’Connell, who makes tutorial videos for language students, says, “I believe that flash cards go a long way as a teaching tool. The best thing about them is that they can be used independently by students as well.”Classroom Managing AppsOften, foreign language classrooms tend to turn chaotic and noisy owing to miscommunication and language barriers. Quite a few smartphone apps address this issue. The following are two of these:Socrative: This app is designed like an interactive whiteboard. Kevin Gladden, a high school level language teacher, has this to say about Socrative, “It allows me to run education games for the class. My students can answer multiple-choice, short-answer type and quiz questions.” The results are then displayed as bar graphs. Kevin exports the results as reports.Teacherkit: Another handy app Kevin recommends is Teacherkit. This efficient classroom managing app is practically a personal organizer. Teachers can use it to create name rolls, take attendance, track behavior of students, and organize student data.Lesson Planning and Organizing AppsThen there are also smartphone apps that help teachers in building teaching modules, planning lessons and organizing notes, documents, student data, bookmarks and other teaching aid. Evernoteis the juggernaut(巨头) in this range of apps. Not much needs to be said about what it does, since most smartphone users already know. Dropbox, another favorite, makes efficient use of cloud storage. It allows the user to save all documents, multimedia files, notes, and bookmarks in one place, and securely.There is no end to the number of things you can do with smartphone apps. Start exploring (if you haven’t already) and make your students aware of theefficacyof these apps in learning. Language learning will therefore also turn into more of a fun activity and the boredom will take a backseat.

Chances are that today's college graduates will get jobs not directly connected to their majors. A study by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York found that only 27 percent of graduates from four-year colleges were working in jobs connected to their college majors. North Carolina State University is trying to help students face the likelihood that their future jobs will not connect directly to their majors.This fall, the university is offering two days of workshops to help 30 juniors and seniors "design their lives." School officials were inspired by a popular class at the Design School at Stanford University in California.The Stanford class helps students prepare for the future. Among other things, the Stanford professors say they provide "ideas for what the world needs more of."1. What is North Carolina State University doing to help students?A. It is trying to help students find jobs connected to their college majors.B. It is offering career consultancy service to students who can't find a job.C. It is helping students solve problems that are a "little fuzzy."D. It is offering two days of workshops to help students prepare for their future.
