The relationship between formal education and e(‘onol11lc growth in poor countries is widely misunderstood by economists and politicians alike.Progress in both areas is undoubtedly necessary for the social, political and intellectual development of these and all other societies; however, the

conventional view that education should be one of the very highest priorities for promoting rapid economic development in poor countries is wrong. We are fortunate that is it. because new educational systems there an putting enough people through them to improve economic performance would require two or three generations. The findings of a research institution have consistently shown that workers in all countries can be trained on the job to achieve radical higher productivity and, as a result, radically higher standards of living.

Ironically, the first evidence for this idea appeared in the United States. Not long ago, with the country entering a recessing and Japan at its pre-bubble peak.The U·S.workforce was.and poorly educated and one of primary cause of the poor U.S. economic performance. Japan was. And remains, the global leader in automotive-assembly productivity. Yet the research revealed that the U.S. factories of Honda, Nissan. and Toyota achieved about 95 percent of the productivity of their

Japanese counterparts-a result of the training that U.S. workers received on the job.

What is the real relationship between education and economic. development'? We have to suspect that continuing economic growth promotes the development of education even when governments don't force it. After all, that's how education got started. When our ancestors were hunters and gatherers 10,000),ears ago, they didn't have time to wonder much about anything besides finding food. Only when humanity began to get its food in a more productive way was there time for other thing.

  • As education improved, humanity's productivity potential increased as well. When the competitive environment pushed our ancestors to achieve that potential, they could in turn afford more education. This increasingly high level of education is probabl

How I Learned to Learn English?

??? My name is Wei Fen. Last year, I did not like my English class. Every class was like a bad dream. The teacher spoke too quickly. But l was afraid to ask questions because my pronunciation was very bad. So I just hid behind my textbook and never said anything.

??? Then one day l watched an English movie called Toy Story. I fell in love with this exciting and funny movie! So then I began to watch other English movies as well. Although I could not understand everything the characters said, their body language and the expressions on their faces helped me to get the meaning. I also realized I could get the meaning by listening for just the key words. My pronunciation also improved by listening to the interesting conversations in English movies. I discovered that listening to something you are interested in is the secret to language learning. I also learned useful sentences like "It's a piece of cake" or "It serves you right." I didn't understand these sentences at first. But because l wanted to understand the story, I looked up the words in a dictionary.

Now I really enjoy my English class. I want to learn new words and more grammar. Then I can have a better understanding of English movies.

Passage 2 As regards social conventions,we must say a word about the well-known English class system.This is an embarrassing subject for English people, and one they tend to be ashamed of, though during the present century class-consciousness has grown less and less, and the class system less rigid. But it still exists below the surface. Broadly speaking, it means there are two classes, the“middle class" and the “working class". (We shall ignore for a moment the old “upper class", including the hereditary aristocracy, since it is extremely small in numbers; but some of its members have the right to sit in the House of Lords, and some newspapers take surprising interest in their private life.The middle class consists chiefly of well-to-do businessmen and professional people of all kinds. The working class consists chiefly of manual and unskilled workers. The most obvious difference between them is in their accent. Middle-class people use slightly varying kinds of“received pronunciation which is the kind of English spoken by BBC announcers and taught to overseas. pupils. Typical working-class people speak in many different local accents which are generally felt to be rather ugly and uneducated. One of the biggest barriers of social equality in England is the two-class education system. To have been to a so-called“public school" Immediately marks you out as one of the middle class. The middle classes tend to live a more formal life than working-class people, and are usually more cultured. Their midday meal is“lunch"and they have a rather formal evening. meal called “dinner",whereas the working man's dinner, if his working hours permit, is at midday. and his smaller, late-evening meal is called supper. As we have said. however. the class system is much less rigid than it was, and for a long time it has been government policy to reduce class distinctions. Working-class students very commonly receive a university education and enter the professions, and working-class incomes have grown so much recently that the distinctions between the two classes are becoming less and less clear.However, regardless of one's social status, certain standards of politeness are expected of everybody, and a well-bred person is polite to everyone he meets, and treats a laborer with the same respect he gives an important businessman. Servility inspires both embarrassment and dislike.Even the word “sir", except in school and in certain occupations (e. g. commerce, the army, etc.)sounds too servile to be commonly used.The“upper class" in England today__。

  • A.are extremely small in number so that media pays no attention to them
  • B.still use old words like Sir in their everyday life
  • C.include the hereditary aristocracy
  • D.refer only to the royal family

Which of the following correctly describes the English phoneme /t?/?

  • A.A voiceless alveolar fricative.
  • B.A voiceless post-alveolar affricate.

  • A.Activities must have clear and attainable objectives.
  • B.Activities should be confined to the classroom context.
  • C.Activities must be relevant to students' life experiences.
