Section III Reading Comprehension (40 points)
Questions 41 to 45 are bad on the following passage:
Office jobs are among the positions hardest hit by compumation (计 算 机 自 动 化).Word processors and typists will lo about 93，000 jobs over the next few years， while 57，000 cretarial jobs will vanish.Blame the PC: Today， many executives type their own memos and carry there" cretaries" in the palms of their hands.Time is
also hard for stock clerks， who ranks are expected to decrea by 68，000.And employees in manufacturing firms and wholesalers are being replaced with computerized systems.
But not everyone who los a job will end up in the unemployment line.Many will shift to growing positions within their own companies.Wh
en new technologies
shook up the telecomm business， telephone operator Judy Dougherty pursued retraining.She is now a communications technician， earning about $ 64，000 per year.Of cour， if you've been a tollbooth collector for the past 30 years， and you find yourlf replaced by an E ZPass machine， it may be of little consolation(安慰) to know that the telecom field is booming.
And that's just it: The rvice economy is fading: welcome to the experti(专门知识) economy.To succeed in the new job market， you must be able to handle complex problems.Indeed， all but one of the 50 highest-paying occupations---air-traffic controller---demand at least a bachelor's degree.
For tho with just a high school diploma(毕业证书)。It's going to get tougher to find a well-paying job.Since fewer factory and clerical jobs will be available 。what's left be the jobs that compumations can't kill， computers cant clean offices ，or for Alzheimer's patients(老年痴呆 病 人).But ，since most people have the skills to fill tho positions， the wages stay painfully low ，meaning compumation could drive an even deeper wedge (楔 子) between the and poor， The best advice now ，Never stop learning ，and keep up with new technology.
For busy adults of cour that can be tough ，The good news is that very technology that's reducing
so many jobs is a making it easier to go back to school without having to sit in a classroom.So called internet distance learning is hot， with more than
three million students currently
enrolled ， and it's gaining credibility with employers.
Are you at risk of losing your job to a computer ？ Check the federal Bureau of Labor
Statistics' Occupational Outlook Handbook ，which is available online at bls。gov .

Question 46 to 50 are bad on the following passage：
Tens of thousands of 18 year olds will graduate
this year and be handed meaningless diplomas 。The diplomas won't look any different from awarded their luckier classmates Their validity will be questioned only when their employers discover the the graduates are militerate(半文盲)
Eventually a fortunate few will find their way into educational - repair - adult - literacy
Programs， such as the one where I teach grammar and writing 。There ，high school graduates and high school dropouts pursuing graduate equivalency certificates will learn the skills they should have learned in school ，They will discover they have been cheated by our educational system.
I will never forget a teacher nior when be had her for English ."He site in the back of the room talking to his friends "。she told me ，" Why don't you move him to the front row？
I urged believing the embarrassment would get him to ttle down， Mrs.Stifter said ，"I don't move niors.I think (使 ┅ 不 及 格) them." Our son's academic life flashed before my eyes.No teacher had ever threatened him.By the time I got home I was feeling pretty good this 。It was a radical approach for the times ，but well.Why not ？ She's going to flunk you " I told my son.
I did not discuss it any further。Suddenly English became a priorty (头 等 重 要) in his life。He finished out the mester with an A.
I know one example doesn't make a ca，but at night I e a parade of students who are angry for having been pasd along until they could no longer even pretend to keep up。Of average intelligence or better，they eventually quit school，concluding they were too dumb to finish." I should have been held back，" is a comment I hear frequently。Even sadder are tho students who are high-school graduates who say to me after a few weeks of class."I don't know how I ever got a high-school diploma."
Passing students who have not mastered the work cheats them and the employers who expect grad
uates to have basic skills。We excu this dishonest behavior by saying kids can't learn if they come from terrible environments。No one ems to stop to think that most kids don't put school first on their list unless they perceive something is at risk。They'd rather be sailing.
民间小吃Many students I e at night have decided to make education a priority。They are motivated by the desire for a better job or the need to hang on to the one they've got。They have a healthy fear of failure.
People of all ages can ri above their problems，but they need to have a reason to do so。Yong people generally don't have the maturity to value education in the same way my adult students value it。But fear of failure can motivate both.

Questions 51 to 55 are bad on the following passage:
Names have gained increasing importance in the competitive world of higher education.As colleges strive for market share， they are looking for names that
project the image they want or reflect the changes they hope to make.Trenton。State College， for example ，became the College of New Jery nine years ago when it began raising admissions standards and appealing to students from throughout the state.
"All I hear in higher education is， "Brand ，brand ，brand，" said Tim Westerbeck， who specializes in branding and is managing director of Lipman Hearne， a marketing firm bad in Chicago that works with
universities and other nonprofit organizations."There has been a a change over the last 10 years.Marketing ud to be almost a dirty word in higher education."
Not all efforts at name changes are successful， ofcour .In 1997 ， the New School for Social Rearch became New School University to reflect its growth into a
collection of eight colleges， offering a list of majors that includes psychology， music ，urban studi
es and management.But New Yorkers continued to call it the New School .
Now，after spending an undisclod sum on an online survey and a marketing consultant's creation of "haming structures." "brand architecture" and " identity systems，" the university has come up with a new name: the New School。Beginning Monday， it will adopt new logon (标 识)， banners， business cards and even new names for the individual colleges， all to include the words
"the New School."
Changes in names generally reveal significant shifts in how a college wants to be perceived.In altering its name from Cal State.Hayward， to Cal State，
East Bay， the university hoped to project its expanding role in two mostly suburban countries east of San Francisco.
The University of Southern Colorado， a state institution， became Colorado State University at Pucblo two years ago， hoping to bighight many internal
changes， including offering more graluate programs and tting higher admissions standards.
Beaver College turned itlf into Arcadia University in 2001 for veral reasons: to break the connection with its past as a women's college， to promote its growth into a full-fledged(完 全 成 熟 的) university and officials acknowledged， to climinate some jokes about the college's old name on late-night television and "moring zoo" radio shows.
