The students were not doing odd jobs to earn beer money. They were preparing to help a firm in Brazil launch an antibacterial cleanser. The 900 students arriving in Boston this summer for their twoyear course were told that they would be subjects. The new practical addition to HBS39。s curriculum is known as FIELD that stands for Field Immersion Experiences for Leadership Development. Fieldwork — ie, going out and talking to people — is a big change for HBS. Not all the staff and students were overjoyed to be experimented on. But the man responsible, Nitin Nohria, head of HBS, says that If it works, the FIELD method could bee an equal partner to the case method. What happens in the second year of the new course is still being worked out. But the first year has three elements. First, teambuilding exercises. Students take turns to lead a group engaged in a project. They learn to cooperate and to give and take feedback. Second, students will be sent to work for a week with one of more than 140 firms in 11 countries. In the third part of the course, students will be given eight weeks, and seed money of $3,000 each, to launch a small pany. The most successful, as voted by their fellow students, will get more funding. The experiment does not e cheap, adding 510% to the course39。s cost, which HBS will bear while it figures out what works.(1)Why were the students questioning those young mums, according to the first paragraph? promote an antibacterial cleanser. earn some money. prepare to help a firm to launch a product. make a study about soap.(2)According to the plan for the first year course, the students_________. be led by a group and learn to give and take feedback have to set up a small pany and earn at least $3,000 within eight weeks get more funding if his/her pany is considered to be most successful by the fellow students be sent to work with one of more than 140 firms throughout the country(3)What39。s the best title for the text?

The reality of college can be pretty different from the images presented in movies and television. Instead of the students who wake up late, party all the time, and study only before exams, many colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities, but real jobs, too. This isn39。t a temporary phenomenon. The share of working students has been on the rise since the 1970s, and onefifth of students work year round.

And there39。s value in it beyond the direct cause: such jobs can also be critical for developing important professional and social skills that make it easier to land a job after graduation.
