I was29when my brother-in-law said to me:“It would be nice if one day you could make u of your education.”I had a degree and an MA(Master of Arts)in creative writing which,as far as I was concerned,I ud every day—reading novels,trying to write novels,arguing about politics,interpreting the meanings in French cinema,and generally leading an examined life.But my brother-in-law,who left school at18,didn’t understand why,as a journalist,I was bringing home less than half the salary he earned in the hospitality(餐饮)industry.
I thought of my brother-in-law’s comment this week when the Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS)relead figures showing that,on average,male arts graduates earn less at the age of29than their non-graduate peers(同龄人).Graduates of the same age overall are only earning6%more than non-graduates.For women,the figure is26%,but earnings growth for women overall is lower,so the benefits from going to university are greater.
The IFS figures drew a predictable respon from the universities minister Sam Gyimah,who listed some cours of arts degrees at certain universities that are not delivering the financial outcomes for students and threatened to punish institutions that don’t improve students’earning prospects.This att
ack on arts degrees rais fundamental questions about what we want from education and,indeed,from life.
No one can deny that arts degrees give students the skills to speak and buy them time to work out what they want to say and how to say it.Studying Freud,or reading James Joyce or Toni Morrison for the first time,introduces students to ideas that challenge their intellectual prejudices,
as well as the connsus(共识)of the society around them.The value of an arts degree in life is incalculable.
24.What does the author think of his major according to paragraph1?
A.Hopeless.
B.Unrealistic.
C.Ordinary.
D.Meaningful.
25.What do the IFS data indicate?
A.Men graduates earn less than non-graduate peers.
B.Women graduates earn less than non-graduates.
C.The income increa rate for women is much higher.
D.Women benefit more from getting college education.
26.How did Sam Gyimah respond to the IFS figures?
A.He put pressure on some institutions.
B.He punished some institutions.
C.He bettered students’earning prospects.
D.He accud colleges of giving fal hope.
27.What does the text suggest people do about degrees?
A.Challenge their intellectual prejudices.
B.Consider what they expect of life.基金如何赚钱
C.Work out what they want to say.
D.Think if they can make money.

When Joph Cook first landed on the Greenland ice sheet in2010,he was expecting to e a primitive white environment.What he found was a"colorful mix"---from blacks and grays to greens,purples and browns,with blue melt streams cutting through the ice.The rainbow colors Cook encountered are created by a collection of tiny life forms that reproduce on the surface of the ice sheet.Biodiversity is usually considered a good thing,but in this ca the abundance of tiny life is speeding up ice melt,and likely causing global a levels to ri faster than scientists have predicted.
Cook says the tiny life forms he studies are contributing to the problem.One of the organisms is an algae(海藻)that grows in the thin layer of water on the surface of the ice.It produces a purple-brown pigment(色素)which acts"like a natural sunscreen,"says Cook, protecting the algae from the full force of the Arctic sunlight.The pigment also caus the ice to heat up and melt.
窟组词"If you go out on a hot day wearing a black T-shirt,you get warmer than if you go out on a hot day wearing a white T-shirt.The same thing happens on the ice,"says Cook."The algae,like the black T-shirt for the glacier,are causing it to warm up in the sun and melt faster."
Cook's rearch on a part of the Greenland ice sheet covering3,900square miles revealed that algae is responsible for up to13%of the ice melt.In some localized areas,the algae boosted melting by up to26%.
Glacier algae are not a new phenomenon—there are records of them in the diaries of polar explorers from the1870s,says Cook.What's becoming clear is that ice sheets are surprisingly dynamic and complex environments."There are so many questions to answer,"says Cook."It's kind of like a theme park for a scientist becau there's just so much to do."
28.What is quickening the ice melt?
A.The algae.
B.Human activities.
C.Global warming.
D.Blue melt streams.
29.Why is the example of wearing a black T-shirt mentioned?
A.To clarify a rule.
B.To explain the phenomenon.
C.To add humour.
D.To make a prediction.
30.What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Scientists will avoid exploring polar regions.
B.Cook feels proud of the current results.
C.A theme park will be built on ice sheets.
D.There’s a long way for rearch into ice sheets.
31.From which is the text probably taken?
A.A news review.
B.A travel brochure.
C.A geography textbook.
D.A science magazine.

A year of lockdown has brought about some questionable fashion trends.In US suburbs, bathrobes and slippers are now socially-acceptable clothing for a trip to the grocery store.
Ugly shoes are also having a moment.Crocs,the maker of plastic clogs(木屐)now with a market worth of$5.3billion,had a record2020.The distinctive shoes,with their punch(打孔机) hole design,have long been popular with hospital staff.During the COVID-19outbreak,they have become a sought-after item for tho looking for something easy to wear and clean.

The company sold more than69million pairs of shoes in2020and pulled in nearly$1.4 billion,a13%jump from2019.The share price,up650per cent from its pandemic low,has t repeated new highs this year.
Birkenstock is another brand riding high on the shift to a more casual lifestyle.The German group recently sold itlf to a LVMH-backed group in a€4billion deal.

The same cannot be said for dress shoes,which were already falling out of fashion.Office closures and fewer special occasions such as weddings and graduations have accelerated the trend. Sales for the category plummeted last year,according to market rearchers The NPD Group. The accounted for only8%of total fashion footwear dollar sales in2020,compared with17%in 2017.
