I’ve worked in the factories surrounding my hometown every summer since I graduated from high school. but making the transition (转变) between school and full-time blue-collar work during the break never gets any easier. For a student like me who considers any class before noon to be uncivilized, getting to a factory by 6 o’clock each morning is torture. My friends never seem to understand why I’m so relieved to be back at school or that my summer vacation has been anything but a vacation. There’re few people as self-confident as a college student who has never been out in the real world. People my age always seem to overestimate the value of their time and knowledge. In fact, all the classes did not prepare me for my battles with the machine 1 ran in the plant, which would jam whenever I absent-mindedly put in a part backward or upside down. The most stressful thing about blue-collar life is knowing your job could disappear overnight. Issues like downsizing (裁员) and overseas relocation had always seemed distant to me until my co-workers told me that the unit I was working in would shut down within six months and move to Mexico, where people would work for 60 cents an hour. After working 12-hour shifts in a factory, the other options have become only too clear. When Fm back at the university, skipping classes and turning in lazy re-writes seems too irresponsible after seeing what I would be doing without school. All the advice and public-service announcements about the value of an education that used to sound stale now ring true. These lessons I’m learning, however valuable, are always tinged (带有) with a sense of guilt. Many people pass their lives in the places I briefly work, spending 30 years where I spend only two months at a time. "This job pays well, but it’s hell on the body," said one co-worker. "Study hard and keep reading," she added. My experiences in the factories have inspired me to make the most of my college years before I enter the real world for good. 1 How did the author look back on his summer days while at college? A They brought him nothing but torture. B They were no holiday for him at all. C They were a relief from his hard work at school. D They offered him a chance to know more people. 2 What does the author say about college students? A They expect too much from the real world. B They have little interest in blue-collar life. C They think too highly of themselves. D They are confident of their future. 3 What, according to the author, is most frustrating for blue-collar workers? A They do not get decent pay. B They do not have job security. C They have to work 12-hour shifts. D They have to move from place to place. 4 In what important way has the author’s work experience changed him? A He learned to be more practical. B He acquired a sense of urgency. C He came to respect blue-collar workers. D He came to appreciate his college education. 5 Why does the author feel somewhat guilty? A He realizes there is a great divide between his life and that of blue-collar workers. B He looks down upon the mechanical work at the assembly line. C He has not done much to help his co-workers at the factory. D He has stayed at school just for the purpose of escaping from the real world.

1.请将材料中划线的句子翻译成中文：World War II was the watershed event for higher education in modem Westem societies.(46)Those societies came out of the war with levels of enrollment that had been roughly constant at 3-5% of the relevant age groups during the decades before the war.But after the war, great social and political changes arising out of the successful war against Fascism created a growing demand in European and American economies for increasing numbers of graduates with more than a secondary school education.(47) And the demand that rose in those societies for entry to higher education extended to groups and social classes that had not thought of attending a university before the war.These demands resulted in a very rapid expansion of the systems of higher education, beginning in the 1960s and developing very rapidly (though unevenly) during the 1970s and 1980s.The growth of higher education manifests itself in at least three quite different ways,and these in tum have given rise to different sets of problems.There was first the rate of growth: (48) in many countries of Westem Europe, the numbers of students in higher education doubled within five-year periods during the 1960s and doubled again in seven, eight, or 10 years by the middle of the 1970s. Second, growth obviously affected the absolute size both of systems and individual institutions.And third, growth was reflected in changes in the proportion of the relevant age group enrolled in iinstitutions of higher education.Each of these manifestations of growth carried its own peculiar problems in its wake.For example, a high growth rate placed great strains on the existing structures of govemance,of administration, and above all of socialization.When a faculty or department grows from, say, five to 20 members within three or four years, (49) and when the new staff are predominantly young men and women fresh from postgraduate study,they largely define the norms of academic life in that faculty.And if the postgraduate student population also grows rapidly and there is loss of a close apprenticeship relationship between faculty members and students, the student culture becomes the chief socializing force for new postgraduate students, with consequences for the intellectual and academic life of the institution--this was seen in America as well as in France, Italy, West Germany, and Japan.(50) High growth rates increased the chances for academic innovation; they also weakened the forms and processes by which teachers and students are admitted into a community of scholars during periods of stability or slow growth.In the 1960s and 1970s, European universities saw marked changes in their governance arrangements, with empowerment of junior faculty and to some degree of students as well.

Although many of us may feel air-conditioners bring relief from hot, humid or polluted outside air, they pose many potential health hazards. Much research has looked at how the movement of air inside a closed environment―such as an office building―can spread disease or expose people in the building to harmful chemicals. One of the more widely publicized dangers is that of Legionnaire’s disease, which was first recognized in the 1970s. This was found to have affected people in buildings with air-conditioning systems in which warm air pumped out of the system’s cooling towers was somehow sucked back into the (通风口), in most cases due to poor design. The warm air, filled with bacteria, was combined with cooled, conditioned air and was then circulated around various parts of the building. Studies showed that even people outside such buildings were at risk if they walked past air exhaust pipes. Large air-conditioning systems add water to the air they circulate by means of (温度调节器). In older systems, the water used for this process is kept in special reservoirs, the bottoms of which provide breeding grounds for bacteria which can find their way into the (通风) system. The risk to human health from this situation has been highlighted by the fact that the immune systems of approximately haft of workers in air-conditioned office buildings have developed the ability to fight off the organisms found at the bottom of system reservoirs. But chemicals called "biocides" are added to reservoirs to make them germ-free, and they are dangerous in their own right in sufficient quantities, as they often contain compounds strongly linked to cancers. Finally, it should be pointed out that the artificial climatic environment created by air-conditioners can also affect us. In a natural environment, whether indoor or outdoor, there are small variations in temperature and humidity. Indeed, the human body has long been accustomed to these normal changes. In an air-conditioned living or work environment, however, body temperatures remain well under 37℃, our normal temperature. This leads to a weakened immune system and thus greater exposure to diseases such as colds and flu.What do we know about Legionnaire’s disease from the passage A. It was the most widely concerned office hazard.B. It can affect people both inside and outside the building.C. It happens only in air-conditioned office buildings.D. It does not develop in well-designed buildings.
