American cities are similar to other cities around the world: American  cities are changing, just as American society is changing.After World War Two, the population of most large American cities decreased; however, the population in many Sun Belt cities increase.Los Angeles and Houston are cities where population shifts (转移) to and from the city reflect the changing values of American society.In the late 1940s and early 1950s, city residents became weathier.They moved out of their apartments in the city to buy their own homes.They bought houses in the suburbs (郊区).

Now things are changing.The children of the people who left the cities in the 1950s are now adults.Many, unlike their parents, want to live in the cities.They continue to move to Sun Belt cities and older ones of the Northeast and Midwest.Many young professionals are moving back into the city.They prefer the city to the suburbs because their jobs are there; or they just enjoy the excitement and possiblilies that the city offers.

This population shift is bringing problems as well as benefits.Countless poor people must leave their apartments in the city because the owners want to sell the buildings or make apartments for sale instead of for rent.In the 1950s, many poor people did not have enough meney to move to the suburbs; now many of these same people do not have enough money to stay in the cities.

Only  a few years ago, people thought that the older American cities were dying.Some city residents now see a bright, new future.Others see only problems a nd conflicts.One thing is sure:many dying cities are alive again.[来源:Z|xx|k.Com]

Individuals should pay for their higher education.A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual.

Graduates earn more than non-graduates.Meanwhile, social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree.However, only some people have it.So the individual, not the taxpayers, should pay for it.There are pressing calls on the resources of the government.Using taxpayers’ money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them.

Full government funding is not very good for universities.Adam Smith worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees.He knew and looked down upon 18th century Oxford, where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government.Guaranteed salaries, Smith argued, were the enemy of hard work; and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the stduents were similarly lazy.

If students have to pay for their education, they not only work harder, but also demand more from their teachers.And their teachers have to keep them satisfied.If that means taking teaching seriously, and giving less time to their own research interests, that is surely something to celebrate.

Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy.Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but so do all the businesses that invest and create jobs.If you believe that the government should pay for higher education bec ause graduates are economically productive, you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs.Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest.

Therefore, it is the individual, not the government, who should pay for their university education.

78.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refers to             .

A.taxpayers        B.pressing calls

C.college graduates   D.government resources

79.The author thinks that with full government funding             .

A.teachers are less satified

B.students are more demanding

C.students will become more competent

D.teachers will spend less time on teaching

80.The author mentions businesses in Paragraph 5 in order to             .

A.argue against free university education

B.call on them to finance students’ studies

C.encourage graduates to go into business

D.show their contribution to higher education

81.

Voluntary learning in organized courses by mature men and women is called adult education.Such education is offered to make people able to enlarge and interpret their experience as adults.Adults may want to study something which they missed in earlier schooling, get new skills or job training, find out about new technological developments, seek better self—understanding, or develop new talents and skills.

82.

This kind of education may be in the form of self-study with proper guidan ce through the use of libraries, correspondence courses, or broadcasting.It may also be acquired collectively in schools and colleges, study groups, workshops, clubs, and professional associations.

83.

Modern adult education for large numbers of people started in the 18th and 19th centuries with the rise of the Industrial Revolution.Great economic and social changes were taking place: people were moving from rural areas to cities; new types of work were being created in an expanding factory system.These and other factors produced a need for further education and re-education of adults.

84.

The earliest programs of organized adult education arose in Great Britain in the 1790s, with the founding of an adult school in Nottingham and a mechanics’ institute in Glasgow.The earliest adult education institution in the United States was founded by Benjamin Franklin and some friends in Philadelphia in 1727.

85.

People recognize that continued learning is n ecessary for most forms of employment today.For example, parts of the adult population in many countries find it necessary to take part in retraining programs at work or even to learn completely new jobs.Adult education programs are springing up constantly to meet these and other needs.

My dear classmates,

There is no denying that safety plays an important part in our daily life.Recently our school has carried out a program aimed at making our campus a safe  place to stay on.

I consider this as indeed a good practice, which will make us aware that safety should always come first in our daily life, whether when we stay at school or outside it.When we are doing sports, we should attach importance to the safety and avoid being hurt.Furthermore, when we get  into trouble with our classmates, we should remain calm and avoid any form of fighting, which may only bring suffering and pain to us mentally and physically.

As far as I’m concerned, I feel all the students and teachers should work hard and creatively to keep the “safety at school” activity in mind.Besides, we supposed to observe the law discipline where we are at any moment.
