     Greg Evans started to study film at Ryerson University, but had a change of heart and switched to social
work at George Brown College in second year. Yet the college recognized only one of Evans' general-interest
credits(学分) from Ryerson, and also made him take English all over again although he had passed it at
university.
     "So I spent time and money taking a course I had already taken before," complained Evans. "The system
really needs to change." Evans was part of a chorus of Ontario students on Monday cheering a new $ 73. 7
million five-year plan to help students switch from college to university, and from university to college.
     After years of urging from students, the Ontario government set up a new Credit Transfer Innovation Fund
to help students move back and forth between the more hands-on courses of community college to the often
broader academic focus of a university degree. "We hear horror stories about students who can't get recognition
from one institution for a very similar course at another, and in one case I believe the same professor was
teaching them both," noted Milloy after announcing the new fund.
     Individual colleges and universities have decided on nearly 500 joint deals to honour each other's credits in
certain courses. Each school is required to set targets for more credit-transfer agreements, and link these
increases to provincial funding.
     More than 4,000 college graduates transfer (转换) to university in Ontarion every year-twice as many as
eight years ago, noted Justin Fox, president of the College Student Alliance. Yet Ontario universities and colleges
have been cautious about transferring credits, in part to avoid copying each other's courses, noted Bonnie
Patterson, president of the Council of Ontario Universities, who welcomed the increased flexibility.
1. What happened when Greg Evans switched to social work at George Brown College?
A. He was considered to be unqualified for social work.
B. His previous credits were not all recognized.
C. He wasn't able to get enough credits.
D. His English didn't reach the required standard.
2. With the new $ 73.7 million five-year plan, students can ____.
A. get enough money to go to university
B. can switch between colleges and universities
C. get enough general-interest credits
D. have a wise choice of courses
3. According to Paragraph 3, Milloy believes ____.
A. it is time that the system was changed
B. the same professor can't teach in different schools
C. students should focus on their chosen courses
D. the students' stories are horrible
4. Ontario universities and colleges have been cautious about transferring credits partly to ____.
A. avoid accepting unqualified students
B. keep their similar courses
C. prevent courses becoming similar
D. attract famous professors
5. What attitude does Bonnie Patterson have towards the transferring system?
A. He is strongly against it.
B. He is very doubtful about it.
C. He thinks it is too flexible.
D. He supports it for its flexibility.

     I used to be frustrated when I got "trapped" in the train station in New York. When this happened,
I spent time "observing" people and found that the New York City trains formed "an underground
"NYC".
     I met all kinds of people there. Sitting in the trains coming from suburban like Queens and Brooklyn,
I saw babysitters and house keepers, in white or pink uniforms, carrying a shopping bag with lunch and
another prettier bag for their makeup. Some gentlemen in suits get squeezed in between ladies, reading
the New York Times, holding Starbucks coffees and a piece of napkin.  
     The passengers' skin color would get lighter as the train went from suburban areas to uptown NYC.
Clothes brands changed from "Nike" and "Babyphat" to "Armani" and "Prada".  
    Getting lost is not embarrassing at all. Even New Yorkers who have lived in the city for 20 years need
to check out the map before going to a new place by train. People from other states are just as confused
as foreigners when they are "thrown" underground.  
     It was funny when people carrying big backpacks and holding maps, asked me where they could
transfer while I was trying to find an exit. "I'm sorry; I am trying to find my way out too." I felt really bad
about not helping them. To my surprise, the two guys with blue eyes didn't look disappointed at all. They
laughed and told me, "Oh, we are wondering if there's really an exit because we have been walking
around here for 10 minutes and we still don't know where to transfer to the uptown train!"  
     NYC trains are just like doors rotating (旋转) on and on. If I hadn't got lost several times, I might not
have had the chance to stop and see what was happening outside my block.
