In America, experts find that campus jobs can help students not only in their studies，but also in their lives after school. That is why more and more universities are providing work experience for students.
In 2011, Clemson University, a public university in South Carolina, asked Neil Burton, head of the Career Center, to develop a program that was not only a way of creating more jobs，but also a way to provide special positions that would teach students valuable skills related to their interests or fields of study. It also wanted the students to work in professional (专业的) environments that would provide useful experience in their job searches after college.
The program works like this: any professor or student in Clemson University in need of professional help can come up with a plan. This could be a biology professor looking for a research assistant, or an administrator who needs help raising donations (捐赠物) for the school. It can also be any outside organization that works with Clemson University, such as a company that is designing new building for the campus.
If the position meets the conditions of the program，it will be listed on Clemson University’s website. Students ask to be thought for the job and go through an interview(面试). If accepted, students are allowed to work for one term. Before they start, they are also required to take a class that tells them what to expect in the position. Finally, at the end of the term, students are tested on what they have learned from the experience.
The program has been a success from the very start. By 2014, Clemson University had 626 students working through the program. And Burton believes the program will have helped over 1，000 students by 2019.
“This is not just a success for the school. Students who take part in the program are 20% more likely to have a full-time job offer once they finish their studies. After all, every day spent in college should help prepare students for what comes after, not just classwork,” says Burton.
1.Why did Clemson University ask Burton to develop the program?
A. To help poor students find jobs.
B. To research the relationship between studies and jobs.
C. To prepare students for the future after graduation.
D. To prepare some professional suggestions for Clemson University.
2.Which is the right order of the things a student should do to work through the program?
a. Ask for a position.
b. Take a class.
c. Be tested.
d. Work for one term.
e. Have an interview.
A. a, b, c, e, d. B. b, c, a, d, e.
C. a, e, b, c, d. D. a, e, b, d, c.
3.What can we know from Burton’s words in the last paragraph?
A. Campus jobs only help students in their studies.
B. Colleges can provide students with full-time jobs.
C. The program benefits students greatly.
D. Students working through the program are sure to find good jobs.
4.In which part of a website can we read the passage?
A. Technology. B. Education.
C. Travel. D. Society.
It happens all the time: during an airport delay, a Korean perhaps starts talking to a man who might be Colombian, and soon they are chatting away in what seems to be English. But the native English speaker sitting beside them cannot understand a word.
They don’t know they are speaking Globish, the latest addition to the 6,800 languages that are said to be spoken across the world. Not that its inventor, Jean-Paul Nerriere, considers it a proper language. “It is not a language, but it is a tool, ” he says. “A language is the vehicle of a culture. Globish doesn’t want to be that at all. It is a means of communication.”
The seeds for Globish came about in the 1980’s when Nerriere was working for IBM in Paris with colleagues of about 40 nationalities. At a meeting where they were to be addressed by two Americans whose flight had been delayed, they started chatting. Then the Americans arrived and beyond their opening phrases, “Call me Jim, ”“Call me Bill, ”no one understood a word. And Jim and Bill, needless to say, did not understand the strange English spoken by others. They all spoke low-quality English. Except Jim and Bill, everyone was speaking Globish though they didn’t know it.
The main principles of Globish are a vocabulary of only 1,500 words in English, gestures and repetition. One of the interesting things in Globish is that with 1,500 words you can express everything. The target is to reach the point where you will be understood everywhere. The list goes from “able” to “zero”. “Niece and nephew, for example, are not included, but you can replace them with the children of my brother, ” Nerriere says.
But a small problem is still waiting for him. The fluent Globish speakers will not be understood by native English speakers. To this question, Nerriere responded confidently, “This is the way to get Americans to learn another language. ”
1.From the first two paragraphs, we can know that ________.
A.the Korean realizes he is speaking Globish
B.Globish is the working language at airports
C.Nerriere thinks Globish is a communication tool
D.the native English speaker is interested in Globish
2.Which of the following can explain the reason for inventing Globish?
A.The IBM workers in Paris couldn’t speak English at all.
B.Nerriere needed to keep in touch with the IBM corporation in America.
C.Two Americans Jim and Bill wanted to make themselves understood.
D.The IBM staff in Paris were from many different countries.
3.How can Globish speakers communicate beyond the Globish vocabulary?
A.They might use French words instead.
B.They might use body language.
C.They might create new words.
D.They might consult a dictionary from “able” to “zero”.
4.What is Nerriere’s attitude towards the future of Globish?
A.Optimistic. B.Cautious.
C.Worried. D.Doubtful.
Next time you’re in a public place, take a look around you, and count how many people are using their phones. I can tell you now that it is probably more than half, whether you’re on public transport, in a cafe or simply walking down the street.
I’m not saying that I am not an example of this, but it always amazes me how people can spend so much time on their phones without actually talking to anyone in particular.
For example, I recently visited London and travelled on the tube while I was there. Apart from the people asleep, almost everybody else was on their phones, and because of the nature of the tube, it is difficult not to see exactly what they are all doing. Of course, being underground it is difficult for you to get any signal, which rules out texting or using the Internet, but there is still plenty you can use your phones for. People were playing games, reading articles and listening to music, and I am sure that as soon as they emerged from the train station they would start texting or calling or checking their emails.
Recently, my smartphone broke and had to be sent off to the warehouse for repair for a week or so. In the meantime I had to use a really old, basic phone just to keep me in touch with my family and friends. All I could do on this phone was send text messages, make calls and play one game. And I loved it. I loved being free from the Internet, and I really didn’t mind not having constant updates about what my friends were doing or what the latest celebrity story was. It allowed me to spend more lime taking in my surroundings.
However, I knew that as soon as I got my smartphone hack I would be one of those people once again. Perhaps I should just go back to using the basic phone and forget my smartphone.
1.Why are you asked to look around in Paragraph 1?
A.To ensure your safety.
B.To communicate with people.
C.To count the people around you.
D.To count the number of people using the phones.
2.What were many people on the tube in London probably doing?
A.Using mobile apps.
B.Talking with each other.
C.Reading printed books.
D.Checking social network sites.
3.What did the author think of having to use his basic phone?
A.He felt great actually.
B.He found it very inconvenient.
C.He couldn’t see much difference,
D.He felt terrible at first but better later.
4.What does the underlined part “those people” in the last paragraph refer to?
A.People without mobiles.
B.People using basic phones.
C.People using smartphones reasonably.
D.People spending a lot of time on mobiles.
