In recent years, especially during the l960s, there was much discussion about “the brain drain (排干, 流失),” which dealt with the problem of students and learned people who left their own countries for other countries that offered better chances for study, research, and employment．For example, according to a report from U．N., between 1962 and l966 more than 50 percent of all engineering graduates of Iran and 14 percent of Iranian scientists left their country for work abroad．Over 30 percent of Chilean engineers and 15 percent of Turkish physicians also went to work in other countries．Probably the greatest brain drain occurred among young scientists who had gone abroad to study．Many of them had planned to return to their countries to teach but chose to remain in more industrialized nations where they were able to continue their work and their research in fields in which there were no job possibilities at home．The countries that attracted most of these scientists were the United States, Great Britain, Germany, France, Canada, and Australia.

　　Recent studies show that the brain drain to the United States may be decreasing．Many foreign scientists are going home again, and in some cases American scientists are leaving the United States for employment in other countries．The main reasons are that good jobs are becoming fewer here, money for national research has been sharply cut, and university fellowships reduced too．However, in the field of medicine the drain to the United States still goes on．Today more than one of every five American doctors is foreign - born, and several thousand foreign doctors immigrate to the United States each year．Over eighty countries have asked the State Department to send students who are skilled in important fields such as medicine back home when their study programs are over.

Which of the following is not the reason for “the brain drain”?

A．Good housing.　　           B．Better research condition.

C．Good job possibility　　      D．Better chances of study..

The brain drain to the United States may be decreasing mainly because __________.

A．many foreign scientists are ordered to return to their motherlands

B．they don't need any foreign scientists now

C．there are fewer and fewer good jobs in the USA

D．the universities refuse to provide money for the foreign scientists

How many American doctors are foreign - born?

A．About half of them.　 　 B More than 20 percent　

C．Several thousand.　　    D．About 15 percent.

Which is the best title for this passage?

A．How to seek a job in the USA.　　  B．Doctors' immigration to the USA.

C．A strange case.                  D．The brain drain.

I had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother’s who owned a bookshop _36 me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very   37 to earn my own pocket money and my parents   38 interfered(干涉) with how I spent it, even when I was spending it   39 . They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the   40 , I would become more mature(成熟) and  41 about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.

Like many   42 parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they  43  a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered university, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around   44 . My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great   45 for me. In the end, my father won the   46 on the condition that I limited my traveling to France, my mother’s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins   47 through the country who could   48 shelter and help if I need them.

Three years later, my younger brother decide to   49 a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean. Again my mother was very worried and not   50 to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a(n)   51 year working his way on trains and ships to   52 passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.

These kinds of experiences are probably rare(稀少的) for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly   53 . Most parents start   54 their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the time they have finished high school, many American kids have already had part-time jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own, have   55 the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career, and so on.

Our English teacher often creates a(n) ???? in class for us to communicate like native speakers

A.situation??? ??????? B. condition??? ??????? C. position? ???????? D．occasion
