Will Nanfang University of Science and ...

   Will Nanfang University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen announce a new beginning for China’s higher education reform? It’s too early to answer. But its presence is challenging the Ministry of Education. Even without the approval of the ministry it seems that the school is determined to move forward and enroll 50 students, so-called child prodigies(奇才), to begin classes on March l, 2011.On graduating in 2015, these students will receive a diploma unauthorized by the Ministry of Education-unlike the students of their age from the state-run universities.

The school is committed to modeling itself on Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, but if the government will not approve the school, the situation could cause a lot of trouble for those 50 students if they want to do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions. Other schools could turn their applications down for their unauthorized diplomas.

The difficulties, however, have not frightened students and their parents away. On Dec.18, 2010 more than 1,000 students and their parents visited Nanfang University of Science and Technology for interviews.

Private investment marks the school out from other higher learning institutions in the nation. Not a penny comes from the government. So the government will have no voice in how the school will be run.

The Ministry of Education has published a comprehensive plan for education reform and development between 2011 and 2020.The goal is to make China’s higher education internationally competitive. To accomplish this goal, the government should have the courage to let the educators who have big ideas try them out. The ministry should have applauded the independence the school in Shenzhen has shown and encouraged more to do likewise.

Education reform in China has reached a new and crucial stage. Nanfang University of Science and Technology has a long way to go to prove itself competitive rather than a diploma mill.

1.Over 1,000 students and parents visited the school because         .

   A.they believe that the school will have a bright future

   B.they believe the government is sure to approve the school

   C.the school models itself on Hong Kong University successfully

   D.they will never do graduate studies at other higher learning institutions

2.The trouble the students in the school may have is that          .

   A.the government will have no voice in the school

   B.they won’t receive any diploma when graduating from the school

   C.other schools are unlikely to accept their diploma from the school

   D.they will not learn how to be competitive

3.What does the author think of Nanfang University of Science and Technology?

   A.It is another kind of diploma mill.

   B.It’s impossible for the school to be competitive.

   C.It will never get the approval from the Ministry of Education.

   D.Its independence from the government may benefit the education reform.

4.What is the best title of the passage?

   A.University of New Style.         B.China’s Education Reform.

    C.Modeling Hong Kong University.       D.Authorized or Not?

He's an old cobbler (修鞋匠) with a shop in the Marais, a historic area in Paris.When I took him my shoes, he at first told me: "I haven't time.Take them to the other fellow on the main street; he'll fix them for you right away."

But I'd had my eye on his shop for a long time. Just looking at his bench loaded with tools and pieces of leather, I knew he was a skilled craftsman (手艺人). "No," I replied, "The other fellow can't do it well."

"The other fellow" was one of those shopkeepers who fix shoes and make keys "while-U-wait" -- without knowing much about mending shoes or making keys. They work carelessly, and when they have finished sewing back a sandal strap (鞋带) ,you might as well just throw away the pair.

My man saw I wouldn't give in, and he smiled. He wiped his hands on his blue apron (围裙), looked at my shoes, had me write my name on one shoe with a piece of chalk and said, "Come back in a week."

   I was about to leave when he took a pair of soft leather boot off a shelf.

   "See what I can do " he said with pride. "Only three of us in Paris can do this kind of work."

When I got back out into the street, the world seemed brand-new to me. He was something out of an ancient legend, an old craftsman with his way of speaking familiarly, his pride in his craft.

These are times when nothing is important but the bottom line, when you can do things any old way as long as it "pays", when, in short, people look on work as a path to ever-increasing consumption (消费) rather than a way to realize their own abilities. In such a period,it is a rare comfort to find a cobbler who gets his greatest satisfaction from pride in a job well done.

1.Which of the following is true about the old cobbler?

   A.He was equipped with the best repairing tools.

   B.He was the only cobbler in the Marais.

   C.He was proud of his skills.

   D.He was a native Parisian.

2.The sentence "He was something out of an ancient legend." ( paragraph 7 ) implies that         .

   A.nowadays you can hardly find anyone like him

   B. it was difficult to communicate with this man

   C.the man was very strange

   D.the man was too old

3.According to the author, many people work just to         .

   A.realize their abilities          B.gain happiness

   C.make money                       D.gain respect

4.This story wants to tell us that       .

   A.craftsmen make a lot of money    B.whatever you do, do it well

   C.craftsmen need self-respect      D.people are born equal
