W: Thank you very much for your trust, Peter. As your academic advisor I will try my best to help you. M: Thanks. It's about my major... W: Well, what's the matter？ M: I used to major in English, but now I have made up my mind to switch to Applied Linguistics, concentrating on Teaching English as a Foreign Language. W: So you want to switch majors？ M: Yes. But I wonder if it is possible. W: Well, usually we allow it, as long as you have enough credits. M: That's good news for me. I'm not interested in literature and that sort of thing. I want to be a real teacher, Professor. But I'm worried about the make-up credits. W: You usually do have to make up some credits when you switch majors. Are you OK on credits？ M: Not too many. I'll have to add about 12 credits as far as I can. figure from my transcript. Would you please let me know how many credits are required to get a master's degree？ W: Usually thirty-six credits are needed, ff you take five courses per term, you'll have enough credits after just two semesters. Usually each course is worth three credits. To get the six remaining credits you either prepare a thesis or take two more courses. M: Is there anything else besides the 36 credits for the master's？ W: You have to have an oral defense． M: I see．I really appreciate your help，Professor． W: Glad I can help．Good luck．Peter． (23) A．A literature professor.

To the Chinese people, teahouses are similar to the cafés in western countries.They are social places.People gather and spread all kinds of social information; customers taste tea and talk about news and daily things there.In order to attract customers, some teahouses build stages for shows like Chinese drumming, Storytelling and Beijing Opera.

M: I saw that article, too. But think, if someone runs into a drug store for 10 minutes, he is usually there to make a specific purchase. W: And someone who spends more time there may be just looking？ M: Exactly. Haven't you ever gone into a store thinking that you'll buy something and then talk yourself out of it？ W: Yes, I have. Especially when I thought I could get it for less elsewhere, or I really didn't need it after all. M: Exactly, but, if you run in to buy something specific and have very little time, you pick it up, pay for it immediately, and then leave. W: That's true. Maybe we should learn a lesson from that. Take your time end you'll spend less money. M: I doubt if that would be true in all stores though. In a department store, for instance, you may see a sweater or some thing you never intend to buy, and buy it because you have time to look around. (20) A．A druggist's suggestion. B．An advertisement.

It is a surprising fact that the population ageing is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example, it took France 115 years for the proportion of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase. What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk？ (76) One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live, the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability(残疾). Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible, including during old age, to lessen the financial burden on the state. (77)Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society. In some African countries, certainly in Asia, older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily, which does not ensure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes, attitudes will change. Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination(歧视)in employment. Life-long learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country's development. Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net. 第6题：The proportion of older people________. A. is bigger in developed countries than in developing countries B. is one-seventh of the population in developing countries C. will increase much faster in China than in France D. will be sixty percent in developing countries by 2020

One company gives every employee over 50 years old and who has been with them for 25 years, six months’ holiday on full pay.At the same time additional money can be made available by way of loans, to help them with projects they cannot otherwise offer.Most of the people who have already benefited from the scheme, have used the opportunity to travel to distant places like the Far East or South America and some have spent the money on their favorite hobbies, such as photography. The cost of providing these special holidays is fairly high but the directors feel it is well worthwhile because the employees are greatly refreshed by their long break from the pressures and routines of their jobs.The only problems are that the people concerned tend to have key jobs which can be difficult to fill on a temporary basis for a relatively long time.Besides, some employees find it difficult to re-adjust to the old routine after such a long time away.In addition, one or two people may not feel secure at leaving their job in someone else’s hands.On balance, however, there is no doubt that the idea is beneficial to industrial relations and a wonderful reward for long service. 31.Many workers would like to ___________. A.dream of long holidays at home B.spend a long time in unusual places C.buy a holiday away from home D.have a long holiday after many years 32.One company____________.

A.the staff get a lot of pleasures from the scheme B.older staff are very enthusiastic about holidays C.the scheme is more expensive than they expected D.the scheme is beneficial to staff relations 35.One of the problems is that ________________.

These crimes are not usually committed by people who are poor or in need. Young people often dislike and hate the adult world. They will do things to show that they are rebels. Also in Britain today it is easier for young people to commit crimes because they have more freedom to go where they like and more money to do what they like. There are two other possible causes which are worth mentioning. More and more people in Britain live in large towns. In a large town no one knows who anyone else is or where they live. But in the village I come from crimes are rare because everyone knows everyone else. Although it is difficult to explain, I think the last cause is very important. Perhaps there is something with our society which encourages violence and crime. It is a fact that all the time children are exposed to films and reports about crime and violence. Many people do not agree that this influences the young people, but I think that young people are very much influenced by the society they grow in. I feel that the fault may be as much with our whole society as with these young people. 6. From the passage we know that many British people are confused about (). A. the cause of juvenile crimes B. the rise of the crime rate C. the problem of crimes in their country D. the various kinds of juvenile delinquency 7. One reason why young people in large cities are more likely to commit crimes is that (). A. nobody knows anything about others B. they are free to move C. they live a better life D. they need more money 8. According to the passage, which groups of the following young people are LEAST likely to commit crimes？ A. Those living in big cities B. Those who are in need of help C. Those who are very poor D. Those living in the countryside 9. Unlike many others, the author holds that one important cause for juvenile delinquency is that(). A. young people nowadays do not like adult world B. young people in Britain today are freer than before C. too many young people have come to live in big cities D. young people are influenced by crime and violence in films and newspapers 10.According to the passage, which is to blame for juvenile crimes, apart from the young people themselves？ A. The adult world B. Their parents C. The development of the cities D. The society
