Today, we talk to an up-and-coming (ÓÐǰ;µÄ) erhu player, Lee Hang, from Hong Kong. He¡¯ll play with the Hong Kong Orchestra (¹ÜÏÒÀÖ¶Ó) next Sunday in a special concert by young Chinese musicians.

Interviewer: Thank you for talking to us, Lee. You must be very excited.

Lee: Yes, I am. This is the first time that I¡¯ve played with such a famous orchestra and in front of so many people. They¡¯re expecting about 4,000 people.

Interviewer: Does that scare you?

Lee: To be honest, yes. I haven¡¯t slept much in the last few days. But my teacher told me I wouldn¡¯t take it seriously enough if I wasn¡¯t scared. That helped a lot.

Interviewer: Tell me about why you started playing the erhu.

Lee: My parents took me to piano and violin lessons. I quite liked them but they had to force me to go sometimes. One night, I saw a documentary about Yo Yo Ma, the famous Chinese American cello(´óÌáÇÙ) player. He talked about his love of Chinese instruments and we should follow our interests. I always enjoyed listening to Chinese instruments like the erhu and guzheng. That inspired me to learn the erhu. My parents were glad that I was playing something I actually liked.

Interviewer: What do your friends think of you playing a Chinese instrument?

Lee: Well, a lot of my classmates think playing things like the erhu isn¡¯t cool. I don¡¯t care. It makes me happy. I got a letter from Yo Yo, saying how much he admired me and that he¡¯d like to meet me next time when he¡¯s in Hong Kong. They thought that was pretty cool!

Interviewer: And what does the future hold for you?

Lee: I¡¯d like to study music in a university in China then hopefully play in orchestras. My ambition is to bring the beautiful sound of the erhu to all the corners of the world.

Interviewer: Well, if anyone can, it¡¯s you. Thanks for talking to me, Lee. Good luck.

Guandong province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best student of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Peking or Tsingbua University; when the highest enrollment £¨Â¼È¡£©rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48:1, it¡¯s the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.

Years ago, the answer certainly would be ¡°Peking or Tsinghua University¡±. But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students.

It¡¯s no doubt to call this HK craze£¨¿ñÈÈ£©,which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities themselves.

How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Peking and Tsinghua and attract so many mainland students?

First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive the sum of scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden of many families, it¡¯s easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great.

Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual£¨Ë«Óeducation. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students.

Further more, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students.

Can mainland top universities like Peking or Tsinghua University calm as before when facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.

The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in China. After the awakening and action taking of mainland universities, they can perform better together with HK universities.

At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees£¨Ñ§·Ñ£©are among students¡¯ top concern when they are choosing universities. It¡¯s time to move.

46£®What is the passage mainly talking about?

A£®Some thought brought by the enrollment of HK universities.

B£®Higher education in Hong Kong.

C£®The competition between HK University and Peking University.

D£®The fall of mainland universities.

47. Top students from mainland apply for HK universities because         .

A£®many students now would love to study aboard to get a better experience

B£®they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities

C£®HK universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for their further study

D£®Peking university has lost its worldwide reputation

48£®What is the author¡¯s attitude toward the competition brought by HK universities?

A£®The government should take relevant measures to stop this unfair competition.

B£®Mainland universities had better lower their tuition fees and win back the top students.

C£®Universities both in mainland and in HK would get an entire improvement during the competition.

D£®It may probably cause a complete loss both sides in the end.

49£®From the passage we can see HK universities           .

A£®didn¡¯t mean to enroll top students from mainland

B£®didn¡¯t expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popular

C£®have strict enrollment rules and only 1 out of 48 students can get the chance to study there

D£®are proud of their teaching staff and facilities

50£®What does the author mean by saying ¡°It¡¯s time to move¡± in the last paragraph?

A£®Mainland universities should take measures as soon as possible to attract students.

B£®The opportunities come for top students to study abroad.

C£®Mainland universities should make full preparations to challenge mainland universities.

D£®Top students should be offered further education free of charge.

 

Chinese reports say the country¡¯s vast pool of cheap labor is getting smaller, which could hurt an economy that heavily depends on labor-intensive manufacturing.

The academy¡¯s research shows that China¡¯s rural labor surplus, the source of migrant workers for the country¡¯s factories, is about 50 million people¡ªfar less than the previously estimated 150 to 200 million.

Jonathan Unger, director of the Contemporary China Center at the Australian National University, says fewer rural residents are willing to leave their farms today. This is partly because there are more employment opportunities in rural areas, and because agricultural prices have gone up.

¡°And at the same time taxes in the countryside, fees in the countryside have gone down because of new sets of government policies,¡± he explained. ¡°So people are not eagerly forced in the way they were five, six years ago to leave the farm in order to earn enough money for their families.¡±

The Chinese Academy of Social Sciences says another reason for the reduced labor pool is the country¡¯s population policy, which allows city residents to have just one child, and farmers up to two if the first one is a girl.

A UN study predicts that China¡¯s workforce will reach its top in 2015 and then gradually drop. Some of China¡¯s major manufacturing areas, such as Guangdong Province, already face labor shortages.

Some economists think these shortages are, at least for now, a regional rather than a national problem. Sun Mingchun, an economist with investment bank Lehman Brothers in Hong Kong, points out that there are still millions of people in China who can not find work.

A. 150 million      B. 50 million      C. 200 million      D. 175 million

A. the farmers are older than before.

B. the farmers are lazier than before

59. Which of the following is TURE according to the passage?

A. A study of UN estimates China¡¯s workforce will come to the top in 2015.

B. No a study shows millions of people can¡¯t find work in China.

C. The country¡¯s population policy isn¡¯t a reason for the reduced labor.

D. Five years ago, few farmers left their homes to earn money for supporting their families.

A. is a national problem                     B. is a regional problem
