【正文】 can’t go on holiday. The joy of a recession means no argument next year – we just won’t go.Since money is known to be one of the things most likely to bring a relationship to its knees, we should be grateful. For many families the recession means more than not booking a holiday. A YouGov poll of 2,000 people found 22% said they were arguing more with their partners because of concerns about ’s less clear is whether divorce and separation rates rise in a recession – financial pressures mean couples argue more but make splitting up less affordable. A recent research shows arguments about money were especiallydamaging to couples. Disputes were characterised by intense verbal(言語(yǔ)上的) aggression, tended to be repeated and not resolved, and made men, more than women, extremely angry. Kim Stephenson, an occupational psychologist, believes money is such a big deal because of what it symbolises, which may be different things to men and women. “People can say the same things about money but have different ideas of what it’s for,” he explains. “They’ll say it’s to save, tospend, for security, for freedom, to show someone you love them.” He says men are more likely to see money as a way of buying status and of showing their parents that they’ve achieved something. “The biggest problem is that couples assume each other knows what’s going on with their finances, but they don’ seems to be more of a taboo(禁忌) about talking about money than about death. But you both need to know what you’re doing, who’s paying what into the joint accountand how much you keep separately. In a healthy relationship, you don’t have to agree about money, but you have to talk about it.” 注意：此部分試題請(qǐng)?jiān)诖痤}卡2上作答。 and second, foreign students who study in the United States bee ambassadors for many of its most cherished(珍視) values when they return home. Or at least they understand them better. In America as elsewhere, few instruments of foreign policy are as effective in promoting peace and stability as weling international university students. 注意：此部分試題請(qǐng)?jiān)诖痤}卡2上作答。2.Universities Branch OutA) As never before in their long history, universities have bee instruments of national petition as well as instruments of peace. They are the place of the scientific discoveries thatmove economies forward, and the primary means of educating the talent required to obtain and maintain petitive advantage. But at the same time, the opening of national borders to the flow of goods, services, information and especially people has made universities a powerful force for global integration, mutual understanding and geopolitical stability. B) In response to the same forces that have driven the world economy, universities have bee more selfconsciously global: seeking students from around the world who represent the entire range of cultures and values, sending their own students abroad to prepare them for global careers, offering courses of study that address the challenges of aninterconnected world and collaborative(合作的) research programs to advance science for the benefit of all humanity. C) Of the forces shaping higher education noneis more sweeping than the movement across borders. Over the past three decades the number of students leaving home each year to study abroad has grown at an annual rate of percent, from 800,000 in 1975 to million in 2004. Most travel from one developed nation to another, but the flow from developing to developed countries is growing rapidly. The reverse flow, from developed to developing countries, is on the rise, too. Today foreign students earn 30 percent ofthe doctoral degrees awarded in the United States and 38 percent of those in the United Kingdom. And the number crossing borders for undergraduate study is growing as well, to 8 percent of the undergraduates at America’s best institutions and 10 percent of all undergraduates in the . In the United States, 20 percent of the newly hired professors in science and engineering are foreignborn, and in China many newly hired faculty members at the top research universities received their graduate education abroad. D) Universities are also encouraging students to spend some of their undergraduate years in another country. In Europe, more than 140,000 students participate in the Erasmus program each year, taking courses for credit in one of 2,200 participating institutions across the continent. And in the United States, institutions are helping place students in summer internships(實(shí)習(xí)) abroad to prepare them for global careers. Yale and Harvard have led the way, offering every undergraduate at least one international study or internship opportunity—and providing the financial resources to make it possible. E) Globalization is also reshaping the way research is done. One new trend involves sourcing portions of a research program to another country. Yale professor and Howard Hughes Medical Institute investigator Tian Xu directs a research center focused on the genetics of human disease at Shanghai’s Fudan University, in collaboration with faculty colleagues from both Shanghai center has 95 employees and graduate students working in a 4,300squaremeter laboratory facility. Yale faculty, postdoctors and graduate students visit regularly and attend videoconference seminars with scientists from both campuses. The arrangement benefits both countries。AnswerlettermarkingquestionsAnsweramarkedEachthanparagraphchooseYouinformationwhichparagraphIdentifyofininformationstatementit.statements attachedwithatoaresection,InAlmost every child, on the first day he setsfoot in a school building, is smarter, more 26 , less afraid of what he doesn’t know, better at finding and 27 , more confident, resourceful(機(jī)敏的), persistent and 28 than he will ever be again in his schooling – or, unless he is very unusual and verylucky, for the rest of his life.
