  “Sesame Street”has been called“the longest street in the world”.That is because the television program by that name can now be seen in so many parts of the world.That program became one of American exports soon after it went on the air in New York in 1969.In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly.The viewers include more than half the nation’s pre-school children, from every kind of economic(经济的), racial(种族的), and geographical group.

  Although some educators object to certain elements in the program, parents praise it highly.Many teachers also consider it a great help, though some teachers find that problems arise when first graders who have learned from“Sesame Street”are in the same class with children who have not watched the program.

  Tests have shown that children from all racial, geographical, and economic backgrounds have benefited from watching it.Those who watch it five times a week learn more than occasional(偶然的)viewers.In the US the program is shown at different hours during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly.

  The programs all use songs, stories, jokes, and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers, letters and human relationships.But there are some differences.For example, the Spanish program, produced in Mexico City, devotes more time to teaching whole words than to teaching separate letters.

  Why has“Sesame Street”been so much more successful than other children’s shows?Many reasons have been suggested.People mention the educational theories(理论)of its creators, the support by the government and private(私人的)businesses, and the skillful use of a variety of TV tricks.Perhaps an equally important reason is that mothers watch it along with their children.This is partly because famous adult stars often appear on it.But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching feel able to learn.The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more.

(1)

“Sesame Street”is actually ________.

[  ]

A.

a street in the US

B.

a program for children

C.

a program for teachers

D.

a program for students

(3)

What is special about the program?

[  ]

A.

It offers great fun.

B.

It makes children feel able to learn.

C.

It is shown at different hours during the week.

D.

Children learn and enjoy themselves while watching.

(4)

Why is“Sesame Street”so popular in the world?

[  ]

A.

Because it is supported by the government and businesses.

B.

Because it uses a variety of skillful tricks.

C.

  It is pretty much a one-way street.While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial world, there is very little traffic in the opposite direction.Pay has always been the biggest deterrent as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job.For some industrial scientists, however, the attractions of academia(学术界)outweigh any financial considerations.

  Helen Lee took a 70% cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge.Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions.Some areas of inquiry have few prospects of a commercial return, and Lee's is one of them.

  The influence of a salary cut is probably less severe for a scientist in the early stages of a career.Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a pharmaceutical company before returning to university as a post-doctoral researcher.He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual opportunities.

  Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition(转换)to academia more attractive, according to Lee.Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and negotiate(谈判)contracts.They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experiencein manufacturing practice or product development."Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career.So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project."
