Distance education is enrollment and study with an educational institution that provides lesson materials prepared in a sequential an logical order for study by students on their own. When each lesson is completed, the student mails or transmits the assigned work to the institution for correction, grading, comment, and subject matter guidance by qualified instructors. Corrected assignments are returned promptly to the student. This exchange provides a personalized student-teacher relationship. If a student slows his or her pace or fails to send assignments, the school provides encouragement. Although some institutions provide employment placement information and assistance, no reputable school ever guarantees a job to graduates. b`F]oQ_*

Distance education and self-study are ifferent. Self-study materials provide no instructional service. Corrected assignments, examinations, and special help provided by a qualified facility are vital to a good learning situation. However, these are not part of self-study. There are many self-stuy courses and recordings available, and they may have value, but they clearly are not correspondence or distance education courses. Some institutions offer combination courses that provide training-in-residence for students who complete their distance education lessons. In-service or on-the-job training is required or provided with other courses and is a feature of many vocational distance eucation programs. e^$JGh2

Quality distance education institutions screen prospective students to assure that only those who can benefit from the courses are enrolle. While there are educational prerequisites for some academic subjects, interest and aptitude are the primary factors leading to success in most distance education courses. Because they provide alternative educational opportunities. distance education institutions try not to deny a prospective student the opportunity to succeed in a course-interest and experience are good indicators of future success.

Distance education courses vary greatly in scope, level, and length. Some have few lessons and require only weeks to complete, while others have a hundred or more assignments requiring three or four years of conscientious study. Also, a wide variety of subjects is offered. Subjects include yacht design, accounting, medical transcription, nutrition, robotics, travel agent training, gun-repair, gem identification, computer programming, catering and cooking, and earning an entire high school diploma, just to name a few. aPQ xpK?

There is an increasing recognition of “distance education” and many colleges offer credit for their distance learning courses or accept some distance education credits of resident students working toward a degree. In fact, many distance education institutions award their own academic degrees. Acceptance of students and awarding of academic credit is the prerogative of the receiving academic institution. Also, the employing organization may set its own credit acceptance policies. !SIk9~rJ

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage: !NkCki" W
d#H9jg15e
Researchers have studied the poor as individuals, as families and households, as members of poor communities, neighborhoods and regions, as products of larger poverty-creating structures. They have been analyzed as victims of crime and criminals, as members of minority cultures, as passive consumers of mass culture and active producers of a “counterculture”, as an economic burden and as a reserve army of labor—to mention just some of the preoccupations of poverty research. - 6HwG fU
cN8Fn4gq
The elites, who occupy the small upper stratum within the category of the non-poor, and their functions in the emergence and reproduction of poverty are as interesting and important an object for poverty research as the poor themselves. The elites have images of the poor and of poverty which shape their decisions and actions. So far, little is known about those images, except as they are sketchily portrayed in popular stereotypes. The elites may well ignore or deny the external effects of their own actions (and omissions) upon the living conditions of the poor. Many social scientists may take a very different view. As poverty emerged and was reproduced, legal frameworks were created to contain the problems it caused with profound, and largely unknown, consequences for the poor themselves. In general, political, educational and social institutions tend to ignore or even damage the interests of the poor. In constructing a physical infrastructure for transport, industry, trade and tounism, the settlements of the poor are often the first to suffer or to be left standing and exposed to pollution, noise and crowding. %BP>,E/w
hEQyaDD;
Most important are the economic functions of poverty, as for lack of other options the poor are forced to perform activities considered egrading or unclean. The poor are more likely to buy second-hand goods and leftover foodstuffs, thus prolonging their economic utility. They are likely to use the services of lowquality doctors, teachers and lawyers whom the non-poor shy away from. Poverty and the poor serve an important symbolic function, in reminding citizens of the lot that may befall those who do not heed the values of thrift, diligence and cleanliness, and of the constant threat that the rough, the immoral and the violent represent for the rest of society. @ we1#Vz.
;*M@LP{*L
Physically, the poor and the non-poor are kept apart, through differential land use and ghettoization. Socially, they are separated through differential participation in the labor market, the consumption economy, and in political, social and cultural institutions. Conceptually, they are divided through stereotyping and media cliche. This separation is even more pronounced between the elites and the poor. ?<TJ}("/

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage: ?^Rp"

Industrial production managers coordinate the resources and activities to produce millions of goods every year in the United Sates. Although their duties vary from plant to plant, industrial production managers share many of the same major responsibilities. These responsibilities include production scheduling, staffing, procurement and maintenance of equipment, quality control, inventory control, and the coorination of production activities with those of other departments. COh#/- `\1
!mlfG "FE
The primary mission of industrial production managers is planning the production schedule within budgetary limitations and time constraints. They do this by analyzing the plant's personnel and capital resources to select the best way of meeting the production quota. Industrial production managers determine, often using mathematical formulas, which machines will be used, whether new machines need to be purchased, whether overtime or extra shifts are necessary, and what the sequence of production will be. They monitor the production run to make sure that Ft stays on schedule and correct any problems that may arise. ?Q"andf
& =[!L0{
Industrial production managers also must monitor prouct standars. When quality drops below the established standard, they must determine why standards are not being maintained and how to improve the product. If the problem relates to the quality of work performed in the plant, the manager may implement better training programs, reorganize the manufacturing process, or institute employee suggestion or involvement programs. If the cause is substandard materials, the manager works with the purchasing department to improve the quality of the product's components. Fv^zSoi2
\Cj Ja(vV
Because the work of many departments is interrelated, managers work closely with heads of other departments such as sales, procurement, and logistics to plan and implement company goals, policies, and procedures. For example, the prouction manager works with the procurement department to ensure that plant inventories are maintained at their optimal level. This is vital to a firm's operation because maintaining the inventory of materials necessary for production ties up the firm's financial resources, yet insufficient quantities cause delays in production. A breakdown in communications between the prouction manager and the purchasing department can cause slowdown and a failure to meet production schedules. Just-in-time production techniques have reduced inventory levels, making constant communication among the manager, suppliers, and purchasing departments even more important. Computers play an integral Part in this coordination. They also are used to provide up-to-date information on inventory, the status of work in progress, and quality standards. _

Production managers usually report to the plant manager or the vice president for manufacturing, and may act as liaison between executives and first-time supervisors. In many plants, one production manager is responsible for all aspects of production. In large plants with several operations-there are managers in charge of each operation, such as machining, assembly, or finishing. KuJ)alD;1

Question 16 to 20 are based on the following passage: ^N^G?{EV/#
[2,D] e
Linguists have understood for decades that language and thought are closely related. Humans construct reality using thought and express these thoughts through the use of language. Edward Sapir and his student Benjamin Whorf are credited with developing the most relevant explanation outlining the relationship between thought and language, the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis. The hypothesis consists of two parts, linguistic relativity and linguistic determinism. Supporters of linguistic relativity assume that culture is shaped by language. Terwilliger defines linguistic determinism as the process by which “the functions of one's mind are determined by the nature of the language which one speaks.” In simpler terms, the thoughts that we construct are based upon the language that we speak and the words that we use. In its strongest sense, linguistic determinism can be interpreted as meaning that language determines thought. In its weakest sense, language partially influences thought. Whorf was careful to avoid authoritative statements which would permanently commit him to particular position. f
+9eB
{#kCqjWG
Because of the borad nature of his statements, it is difficult to distinguish exactly to what extent Whorl Believes that language determines thought. Heated debate among moern linguists demonstrates that disagreement exists about the accuracy and correctness of Whorf's studies and of the actual level of influence of language on thought processes. z]9 t 5I
E2 M<I;:EA
The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis essentially consists of two distinct statements connecting the relation of thought and language. Whorf believes that humans may be able to think only about objects, processes, and conditions that have language associated with them. The Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis also explains the relationship between different languages (French, English, German, Chinese, and so on) and thought. Whorf demonstrated that culture is largely determined by language. Different cultures perceive the world in different ways. Culturally essential objects, conditions and processes usually are defined by a plethora of words, while things that cultures perceive as unimportant are usually assigned one or two words. Whorf developed this theory while studying the Hopi Indian tribe. Whorf was amazed that the Hopi language has no words for past, present, and future. The Hopi have only one word for flying objects. A dragonfly, an airplane, and a pilot are defined using the same word. Whorf questioned whether or not the Hopi view the world differently than western peoples. After further interpretation and analysis he concluded that the Hopi have a sense for the continuum of time despite having no words to specifically describe past, present, and future. CzG[S\{+
bit|L7*14
It is commonly believed that the Sapir-Whorf Hypothesis possesses some truth, but the extent to which it is applicable to al situations is questioned. Linguists generally support a “strong” or a “weak” interpretation. Linguists who study the hypothesis tend to cite examples that support their beliefs but are unable or unwilling to refute the opposing arguments. Examples exist that strengthen the arguments of everyone who studies the hypothesis. Nobody has gained significant ground in proving or refuting the hypothesis because the definitions of Sapir and Whorl are very vague and incomplete, leaving room for a significant amount of interpretation. sl-wNIQ

71. As the examples just given often illustrate, contemporary international events are regularly interrelated; our task of achieving understanding is therefore further Complicated because seemingly unrelated events in different areas of the would may over a period of time combine to affect still other regions of the globe. Events are demonstrably interdependent, and as we improve our ability to unerstand the causes of and reasons behind this interdependence, we will improve our ability to understand contemporary international relations. R! nf^*~

How can our task best be approached? Throughout history, analysts of international relations have differed in their approaches to improving understanding in their field. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, for example, the study of international relations centered around diplomatic history. Who did what to whom at a particular time and place were the main features of the method of diplomatic history. This methodology concentrated on nation-states as the main actors in international relations and included the study of the major diplomats and ministers of the period. Detailed accuracy was required and obtained, but seldom were causal connections or comprehensive analyses sought. y@P%t 9l

72. As a means for understanding a particular series of events, diplomatic history was (and is) excellent; as a means for understanding a particular sweeps of international relations or for developing a theoretical basis for the study of international relations, diplomatic history was (and is) of limited utility.

Whereas diplomatic history sought to explain a particular series of events, other methodologies were developed during the 19th and early 20th centuries that viewed international relations on a global scale. ?W/.'_

73.？ Strategic and geopolitical analyses, methodologies in wide use even today, trace their roots to concepts developed by the U.S. Admiral Alfred Mahan during the late 19th century and British geographer Sir Halford Mackinder during the early 20th century. To Mahan the world's ocean were its highways, and whoever controlled its highways could control the course of international relations. Mahan bases most of his analysis on Great Britain and its Royal navy. Partly because of the urgings of Mahan, the United States on Great Britain and its fleet during the late 19th century and actively sought and acquired territorial possessions in the Pacific Ocean, including Hawaii, Samoa Guam and the Philippines. ^$c#L1

尽管我们对“学习”的理解不尽完善，然而我们对此已有不少了解。“学习”可以呈现不同的形式，也可以在许多情况下进行。一般来说，“学习”必然会引起行为的变化。“学习”导致人们行为发生变化时，这种变化常能持久。“学习”也许意味着对一系列细小而不相关的行为按新的顺序重新排列。就好比你在钢琴上学习弹奏一首新的曲子。 )ycI.[C

Although our understanding of learning is still not complete, a great deal is known. Learning has many different from and takes place under many conditions. In general, it involves a change in behavior. When a change in behavior takes place as a result of learning, the change is usually a long-lasting one. Learning may mean that a number of small independent acts are arranged in a new order. This happens, for example, when you learn to play a new piece on the piano. ;VE y{%nF

Scientific Discovery-Curse or Blessing uzdPA'u
w(@r-2D"
New scientific discoveries nearly always bring to mankind a blessing. It is the new scientific discoveries that bring human beings from primitive caves gradually to cozy and comfortable dwelling houses, from shabby cotton clothes to various good-quality wearing apparel, from simple food to various kinds of nutritions foods. It is the new scientific discoveries that change people's ways of living, make people communicate more easily and broaden mankind's vision to the global village. Indeed, new scientific discoveries have fundamentally changed our earth and greatly improved living standard of the inhabitants on it. *73gp
ujV{AF`JfB
Yet sometimes scientific discoveries may prove a curse upon human race. Especially that is the case when they are used or controlled by evil men or war maniacs. Take explosives as an example. Scientists succeeded in inventing explosives just for the sake of increasing productivity in mining industry, architectural industry, and so on. But such war maniacs as Hitler and his followers wanted to dominate the whole world and establish the Third Empire, they unleashed the Second World War and killed millions of innocent civilians. It proves that when some scientific discoveries are misguidedly used, they will pose a great threat to man's peaceful environment and lift safety. LO=U?`)q
zamMlmls^
Thus, the misuse of scientific discoveries must be prevente. First of all, government should legislate for the benefit of the people and educate people to obey the law and put it into enforcement effectively. Secondly, we should have correct attitude towards some scientific discoveries because they are sometimes regarded as two-edged swords. Humans should aim at exploring the positive aspects fully but strictly control their negative use and try to eliminate the hazards to human race.
