Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.

  An apprenticeship is a form of on-the-job training that combines workplace experience and classroom learning.It can last anywhere from one to six years, but four years is typical for most.An apprentice spends the majority of the time in a workplace environment learning the practical skills of a career from a journeyman--someone who has done the job for many years.The rest of the apprentice's time is spent in a classroom environment learning the theoretical skills the career requires.Being an apprentice is a full-time undertaking.

  One of the advantages of apprenticeship is that it does not cost apprentices anything.The companies that hire them pay for school.What's more, it offers apprentices an "earn while you learn" opportunity.They usually start out at half the pay of a journeyman, and the pay increases gradually as they move further along in the job and studies.Near the end of the apprenticeship, their wages are usually 90 percent of what a journeyman would receive.Apprenticeship also pays off for employers.It can offer employers a pool of well-trained workers to draw from.

  Despite the advantages, apprentices are usually required to work during the day and attend classes at night, which leaves little time for anything else.Sometimes, they might be laid off(下岗)if business for the employers is slow.

  Once they have completed the apprenticeship and become journeymen, they receive a nationally recognized and portable certification and their pay also increases again.Some journeymen continue employment with the companies they apprenticed with; others go onto different companies or become self-employed contractors.

PART FOUR WRITING SECTION A

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage. Write NO MORE THAN 3 WORDS for each blank. The Chilean earthquake, measuring 8.8 – magnitude, which struck early Saturday morning, released 500 times the energy of the 7.0 – magnitude quake that hit Haiti last month, a geophysicist told CBS’ “The Early Show. ” Tsunami warnings were issued for much of the Pacific, including Hawaii, following the quake that struck near the Chilean coast.

“When the earthquake occurred, it moved the land and then it moved the water causing the tsunami,” said U.S. Geological Survey geophysicist Jessica Sigala. “And the coastal areas of Chile have already noticed the wave heights up to about 7 feet.”

Sigala said Hawaiians can expect to see the waves from this tsunami around 11:20 a.m. local time (about 4:20 p.m. ET). “So we have to wait and see how big the waves will be.”

“It's not so much the height [of the wave] but it's the width, it's how long the duration, and then it's also the speed at which it's traveling,” said co-anchor Kelly Cobiella “Correct me if I'm wrong, but these waves are traveling at the speed of a jetliner, about 500 miles per hour?”

“That's correct. It's a big block of water coming onto the land,” Sigala said. 

Chile has already experienced several aftershocks following the quake.

“Aftershocks are definitely a concern,” said Sigala. "We always see aftershocks with a large quake and a shallow quake, which this one was. And as of right now, we've located about maybe 15 aftershocks and those are of the larger kind. I'm sure they felt much more than that.”

“A shallow earthquake just means that it happened pretty close to the surface,” said Sigala. “And because of that the energy is really close to the surface, where all the buildings and people are.”

    50 deaths caused by aftershocks have been reported, according to the national emergency agency, adding the estimate casualties to 960.
