“Do you like doing things for people?”I asked a friend．

“Yes，most of the time,”she replied．

“Most of the time?”

“Well，I love to do things that are unexpected． I like to do little things most people wouldn't think about doing,”she said．

“But why did you say most of the time?”

“Well,sometimes after doing those little things people take advantage of you．I mean，they expect you to do it again．They ask you to do it．That's when I don't like it．”

It was odd that I had this conversation．This just happened to me．I love to do little things．I will pay for a meal card for the people in the office every time we have a meeting there．Not a big thing．It's a little thing．$5.30 will pay for almost five lunches．Hey，big spender!

I also bought a bag of animal crackers for a friend at work．She was having a tough day and not very happy at all．I drove down to the Wal-Mart and picked up a huge bag for under $2.00．Her smile was worth it．

But one week she said,“Bob，we ran out of crackers．We love them so much．” I didn't want to do it．I smiled and she persisted． I finally admitted,“It's different when I do it because I want to，but now you are trying to make me go to get them．It's not the same．”But I bought it for her．

Unfortunately，a big fire in my family took away all the possessions we had． I didn't know what to do and how to do it．What happened to me then surprised me most．I once had my bike repaired，but the repairman said “no charge”on hearing my sufferings．A stranger called James Kennedy read some pieces I'd written about our sufferings for Slate，the online magazine，and wanted to give us a new house across the lake from New Orleans．I refused but I felt moved． Another poet at the University of Florida also wanted to let his house to me free of charge while he was on holiday．My mates gave us more money for us to rebuild my home．When you do something kind for others，do you always get rewarded? Yes，but not in the way you might expect．

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.

B． Higher education should be adjusted to the practical needs of society.

C． The liberal arts in higher education help enrich students' spiritual life.

D． The humanities and STEM subjects should be given equal importance．

2.What kind of job applicants do employers look for？

A． Those who have a strong sense of responsibility.

B． Those who are good at solving practical problems.

C． Those who are likely to become innovative leaders.

D． Those who have received anall-round education.

3.What advice does the author give to college students？

A． Seize opportunities to explore their potential．

B． Try to take a variety of practical courses．

C． Adopt a flexible approach to solving problems．

D． catch asmany chances as possible to change their jobs.

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.
