The question of whether our government should promote science and technology or the liberal arts（文科） in higher education isn't an either/or proposition（命题），although the current emphasis on preparing young Americans for STEM（science，technology，engineering，maths）-related fields can make it seem that way．

The latest congressional report acknowledges the critical importance of technical training，but also states firmly that the study of the humanities and social sciences must remain central components of America's educational system at all levels．Both are critical to producing citizens who can participate effectively in our democratic society，become creative leaders，and benefit from the spiritual enrichment that the reflection on the great ideas of mankind over time provides．

Parents and students who have invested heavily in higher education worry about graduates' job prospects as technological advances and changes in domestic and global markets transform professions in ways that reduce wages and cut jobs．Under these circumstances，it's natural to look for what may appear to be the most “practical” way out of the problem “Major in a subject designed to get you a job” seems the obvious answer to some，though this ignores the fact that many disciplines in the humanities characterized as “soft” often，in fact，lead to employment and success in the long run．Indeed，according to surveys，employers have expressed a preference for students who have received a broadly-based education that has taught them to write well，think critically，research creatively，and communicate easily．

Moreover，students should be prepared not just for their first job，but for their 4th and 5th jobs，as there's little reason to doubt that people entering the workforce today will be called upon to play many different roles over the course of their careers．The ones who will do the best in this new environment will be those whose educations have prepared them to be flexible．The ability to draw upon every available tool and insight—picked up from science，arts，and technology—to solve the problems of the future，and take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves，will be helpful to them and the United States．

1.What does the latest congressional report suggest？

A． STEM-related subjects help students find jobs in the information society.

Should Our Parents Accompany Us in Studying at School?

____________________________________________________________________________________________

Are you trying to learn a new language in a foreign land? You might be better off if you stopped looking at that picture of your family and friends.

New research from Columbia University found that prompting (提示) someone who is learning a new language with images and reminders of their own culture could temporarily ruin everything that the brain was trying to build.

When native Chinese students were asked to talk with a Caucasian avatar (白种人的虚拟头像) and a Chinese avatar, their English skills were so different. Simply exposing students to a Chinese person affected their ability to speak English. Subjects who talked with the Chinese version felt more comfortable in their speech, but they produced 11% fewer words per minute. They actually became less fluent speakers.

To make sure it wasn’t just the avatar, researchers also showed people random images of China while the participants told a story. When pictures of their homeland appeared, fluency dropped 16% and volunteers were 85% more likely to use a literal (照字面的) translation, for example, calling pistachios “happy nuts”, because that’s literally what the Chinese word for pistachio means.

When the students were shown pictures of fish with one swimming ahead of the others, their culture would change how they look at the photo. With Chinese prompt, like photos of the Great Wall or Chinese Dragon, etc. they saw more students thinking that the fish was being chased, while an American prompt, like pictures of Marilyn Monroe or Superman, saw those students believing that it was a leader fish.

The bottom line is: when attempting to learn a new culture it is far better to surround yourself with that culture than create an island of the old one.

1.Why does the author use a question in the first paragraph?

A. To raise a question.

B. To arouse readers’ awareness.

C. To introduce the topic.

D. To tell a story.

2.The underlined word “pistachios” in the fourth paragraph refers to ______.

A. pictures B. volunteers

C. an image D. a kind of food

3.From the passage we can infer that ______.

A. different images would change with different people

B. different cultures would affect how students look at the photo

C. with Chinese prompts, more students thought that it was a leader fish

D. with an American prompt, more students thought that the fish was being chased

4.According to the research, which is a better way for a student in a foreign land to learn a new culture?

A. To surround himself with that culture.

B. To create an island of the old one.

C. To see random images of China.

D. To talk with a Caucasian avatar.

Millions of people all over the world use the word OK．In fact, some people say the word is used more often than any other word in the world．OK means all right or acceptable．It expresses agreement or approval．

1. Some people say it came from the Native American Indian tribe known as the Choctaw（乔克托语）．The Choctaw word “okeh” means the same as the American word okay．Experts say early explorers in the American West spoke the Choctaw language in the nineteenth century．

But many people doubt this．Language expert Allen Walker Read wrote about the word “OK” in reports published in the 1960s．He said the word began being used in the 1830s． 2. Some foreign-born people wrote “ all correct” as “o-l-l-k-o-r-r-e-c-t”, and used the letters OK．Other people say a railroad worker named Obadiah Kelly invented the word long ago．They said he put the first letters of his name---O and K---on each object people gave him to send on the train．

3. The organization supported Martin Van Buren for president in 1840．They called their group the OK club．The letters were taken from the name of the town where Martin was born---Old Kinderhook, New York．

Then there is the expression A-OK．It is a space-age expression．It was used in 1961 during the flight of astronaut Alan Shepard．He was the first American to be launched into space．His flight ended when his spacecraft landed in the ocean, as planned．Shepard reported, “Everything is A-OK.” 4. One story says it was first used during the early days of the telephone to tell an operator that a message had been received．

There are also funny ways to say okay． 5. These expressions were first used in the 1930s．Today, a character on the American television series “The Simpsons” says it another way．He says okely-doke．

A．Some people say okey-dokey or okey-doke．

B．Still others say a political organization invented the word．

C．Therefore, it has become popular in that area from then on．

D．But many experts don’t agree on what the expression means．

E．Still, language experts do not agree about where the word came from.

F．It was a short way of writing a different spelling of the word “all correct”.

G．However, some experts say the expression did not begin with the space age．
