Her result, however, is not quite what might be expected. As she reports in Psychological Science this week, she found that those who have been to university do indeed seem to leave with broader and more inquiring minds than those who have spent their immediate postschool years in vocational (職業(yè)的) training for work. However, it was not the case that university broadened minds. Rather, work seemed to narrow them. s time at school, and then again six years later. Of the original group, 382 were on the intermediate track, from which there was a choice between the academic and vocational routes, and it was on these that the researchers focused. University beckoned for 212 of them. The remaining 170 chose vocational training and a job. That sounds like a good thing, certainly pared with the mon public image of undergraduates as a bunch of lazybones. But changes in attitude that the researchers recorded were rather worrying. In the university group, again, none were detectable. But those who had chosen the vocational route showed marked drops in interest in tasks that are investigative and enterprising in nature. And that might restrict their choice of careers. s choices, that is indeed a matter worthy of serious consideration.（1）Which of the following can best replace beckoned for in Paragraph 2?

The effect is most noticeable in pop music. Foreign groups often record in English, and the words are picked up and repeated in the same language everywhere, even by children who otherwise have little or no mand of the language. I once met a Brazilian child of about ten who could count 39。, but only by adding the words 39。clock, four o39。at the end. However, not everyone is critical. In particular, mercial firms and advertisers are well aware of the potential selling power that the use of English vocabulary can bring. In Japan, English is even used in television mercials, despite the fact that the majority of viewers would not understand exactly what was being said: the excellence implied by the mere use of English is apparently enough to mand the strategy to the advertisers.one, two, three39。Because he had seen these words everywhere in the street.B.Because he had made himself master of English.D.It was strict.B.It was often ignored.D.following the American trendbeing worldfamousC.increasing sales（4）The last paragraph is mainly developed by .
