Northern Virginia Community College had agreed to stop awarding scholarships based on race.
The college took that step, Virginia’s Attorney (司法局) said last week, after the U.S. Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights had concluded that the privately financed scholarship programs for minority students did not follow established federal (联邦的) guidelines for such programs.
The civil-rights office got involved when a white student at Northern Virginia complained in June 1996 that he had been illegally excluded from a scholarship program for minority students.
Christopher Thompson argued in his complaint that such programs had been found unconstitutional ― (不符合法规的) in 1994 by the U. S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (联邦上诉法院第四管辖区), in a case involving a blacks-only scholarship at the University of Maryland at College Park.
In a letter to the department last month, the state Attorney Genera’s Office said the college would alter its five scholarship programs that have been limited to students of certain races. All of the programs were financed by private donors or groups.
“After careful consideration of the position taken by your office, in response to the complaint filed with the Office for Civil Rights by a student at the college, and the legal arguments presented to us by lawyers representing that student, the college has concluded that it will abandon its administration of race-based scholarships,” wrote Maureen Riley Masten, an Assistant Attorney General.
Northern Virginia officials said that two of the aid programs would be opened to students of all races, and that the sponsors of two others had asked that their money be returned. The sponsors of the fifth program said they would transfer the funds to a private, non-profit group that would continue to administer the scholarship to minority students only, the college said.
Officials of many colleges have watched the Northern Virginia case because they believed that it might throw new light on how the Education Department would view the legality of scholarship programs financed by private donors.
A spokesman for the department, Rodger Murphey, said he did not believe that a new precedent (判例) had been set in the case.
1.What was Christopher Thompson’s complaint?
A.He wasn’t qualified for his college’s race-based scholarships as a white student.
B.The lawyers refused to represent him in his appeal against his college’s decision.
C.Northern Virginia officials decided that his appeal to the state court was illegal.
D.The civil-rights office failed to respond to his complaint about his college.
2.What was the civil-rights office’s position in Christopher Thompsons case?
A.The college should justify its race-based scholarship programs.
B.The college should transfer its scholarship funds to non-profit groups.
C.The college should open its scholarship programs to students of all races.
D.The college should put aside its prejudice against white students.
3.How did Northern Virginia Community College respond to the civil-rights office’s decision?
A.It continued to administer its scholarship programs despite the complaint.
B.It got new sponsors to open scholarship programs to students of all races.
C.It stopped its scholarship programs temporarily to confirm their legality.
D.It abandoned its scholarship programs exclusively for minority students.
4.Which of the following can NOT be inferred from the passage?
A.Christopher Thompson based his complaint legally on the Maryland case.
B.The legality of privately financed scholarships was still uncertain.
C.Race-based scholarship programs would be presented in a new form.
D.The courts decision in the case would be followed in later similar cases.
Most of the time, people are well aware of the circumstances of exchange: they exchange this for that. But in the rare circumstances when they’ve not prepared with gift-giving in return, they can be _________ with feelings of guilt. Receiving a gift, Jacques Derrida, a French thinker, thought, could make one feel like a _________ trapped in a cycle of economic exchange. People don’t like the feeling of being under obligation (人情债) , and try to dismiss the _________ they can feel as quickly as possible.
Private gift-giving, as the Frankfurt school theorist Theodor Adorno worried, has become an empty procedure. There’s no denying that in at least some cases, people give gifts _________. This has less to do with gift-giving itself, and more to do with the choosing of gifts. Gift-giving looks like an obligation, and a fairly _________one at that. Sure, there is giving gifts to lovers, friends and family. But then there is also the world of gift-giving like Secret Santa Claus, practices that keep gift-giving routines going well _________ the circles of people we know well enough to make choosing presents _________.
For these forced occasions, for, say, the coworker we’ve never spoken to, there are pre-printed cards and commercial guides. Even when the receiver is well-known, people want to _________ the effort needed for gifting. A relative once sent me a gift basket of dried fruit, nuts and cured meats; both the offending party and I are vegetarians.
If gift-giving has become more transaction (交易的), with the give-and-take a(n) _________ itself, so has complimenting.
This ____________ choice — fulfill your obligation to return the ____________ or resign yourself to guilt — comes from belonging to a society structured around commodities and their ____________.The trouble is, if compliments are transactions, feeling that we’re under obligation is a natural state of affairs. To imagine that we could completely overcome our ways of thinking about compliments, ____________, requires ____________ our social and economic forms of life. ____________ a difficult demand, this could be the true gift Adorno and Derrida were hoping for.

I teach a course in marine biology at a college in central Maine. In order to give each student the individualized attention he or she 1.(deserve), I cap the class size at 15. Some years back, while calling out names from the roster (花名册) on the first day, I noticed a gray-haired woman of about 70. She 2.(hang) about at the door, with her new books like a schoolgirl.
“I’m not on the roster,” she volunteered, clearly self-conscious about all the 3.(seat) 18-year-olds looking her over. “But I was wondering if I 4.just sit in on the first class, to see what it’s about.”
There were already 15 in the class, but this woman’s eagerness impressed me, so I invited her to have a seat.
I began by chatting informally with the class to get a feel for how much knowledge they were bringing to 5.course. The result of open admissions is that professors are faced with very uneven crops of students, many of 6. know relatively little about the world around them.
In marine biology I like to see if they know the difference between fishes and seagoing mammals (哺乳动物). I often hold up a sponge (海绵) in the hope 7. someone will recognize it as an animal rather than a plant. I talk about the difference between a sea and an ocean.
8. I questioned, most of my new students remained silent. But Natalie, the older woman, was on the edge of her seat, 9.(volunteer) answers with the quickness of a game show contestant. In time, I felt as if it were just she and I engaged in a private conversation. At the end of class, she came up to me and apologized for being the “extra” student. “I certainly wish I could take this course,’’ she said. “Will you offer it next week?” Alarmed at the prospect of losing her, I acted quickly to relieve 10.concern. “I’ll see you next class,” I said.

When I finished all of my exam, my family drove to the countryside for a holiday. On our way, my favorite scarf flew out of the window suddenly and is gone. I felt very sad, regretting that when I hadn’t kept the scarf well. Soon after, we stopped at a service station. Feel upset, I found a bench and was about to ate my sandwich when a motorcyclist pulled into the station, “Is that your blue car?” he asked me. Although I felt surprising, I nodded quickly. A man pulled out the very scarf from my backpack and handed it to me. He then returned his motorcycle and wanted to leave. I went up and repaid him thankful by giving him a hug.
