programs, was started recently to ensure that language training in Canada is of high quality, Canada News
Wire has reported.
Canada has developed its language-training programs for over forty years without a comparatively uniform
(adj. 一致的; 相同的) quality standard before Languages Canada adopted (采用) a complete system of rigorous
standards that apply equally to all public and private schools in Canada to qualify (取得资格；具备合格条件),

student admissions, marketing,promotion, facilities and administration. The quality standards guarantee that
international students who come to Canada to learn English or French can expect to receive a uniform level of
excellent instruction.
So far, a total of 144 language-training programs,public and private, English and French, have met the
standards. They will have to re-qualify in three years. About two dozen other schools failed to meet all standards
and may be re-evaluated in the future.
Canada"s language training sector accounts for (数量占…) about 15 percent of the market share of global
language training business Canada ranks third among destinations for English language training after UK and US.
Calum Mackechnie, President of Languages Canada and President of York University"s English Language

举一反三
to make years ago when I had to learn Latin, clean my room, stay home and do homework.
That was before we entered the permissive period in education in which we decided it was all right not to
push our children to achieve their best in school.
The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They thought that it was right to be parents who take
a let alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators (计算器), turned
on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.
Now teachers, having taught many children who have been developing at their own step for the past 15
years, are realizing we"ve made a terrible mistake. Sharon Klompus is such a teacher who thinks her students
"so passive" and wonders what happened. Nothing was demanded of them. She believes that Television
contributes to children"s passivity. "We"re not training kids to work anymore," says Klompus. "We"re talking
about a generation of kids who"ve never been hurt or hungry. They have learned somebody will always do it
for them. Instead of saying" go and look it up", you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to
a kid."
Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It"s time for parents to end their vecation and come back
to work. It"s time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it"s
for their own good. It"s time to start telling them no again.
B. they have done too much homework
C. they have to fulfill too many duties
D. teachers are too strict with them
B. neither is easy to say yes or to say no
C. it is easier to say yes than to say no
D. neither is difficult to say yes or to say no
B. natural development
C. discipline
D. education at school
B. when everything can be taught at school
C. when every child can be educated
D. when children are permitted to receive education
B. kids should have more activities at school
C. it"s time to be more strict with our kids
D. parents should always set a good example to their kids
They point to jobs such as secretary or truck driver, which often pay more to start than that of a teacher. In
many other fields, such as law, medicine, computer science, a beginning worker may make more than a teacher
who has taught for several years.
Teaching has never been a profession that attracted people interested in high salaries. It is by history a
profession that has provided rewards in addition to money-the satisfaction of sharing knowledge, of influencing
others, of guiding young people. But in the past several years, there are more difficulties in teaching, for many,
than there are rewards.
Unruly students, especially in big cities, large classes and a lack of support from the public in terms of money
and understanding have led many public school teachers to leave the profession.
As a result, many of the best students, who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past, are
going into other fields.
Another reason for this change in teacher candidates is the changing status of women in the United States.
Until the late 1960s and 1970s, one of the most popular choices for women was teaching. But as other
professions, such as law and medicine opened up to women, women stopped pouring into teacher training
programs. Thus, a major pool of excellent candidates for the teaching profession dwindled.
Bit by bit government officials and others realized that the status of the teacher had suffered. They talked
about change. But the change in a vast society like the United States is not easy. People"s attitudes have formed
over many years, and sometimes change takes many years.
B. job
C. secretary
D. truck driver
B. Teachers have no opportunities to work in other fields.
C. Teaching can attract best students to work as a teacher.
D. Teaching can provide rewards as well as high salaries.
B. the difficulties of teaching as well as a lack of money, support and understanding
C. the attracting power of other jobs
D. a lack of satisfaction of sharing knowledge and influencing others
B. impossible
C. influences people"s attitude
D. needs time
report shows that companies like graduates in such fields as business and health care who can go to work
immediately with very little on-the-job training.
That"s especially true of booming fields that are challenging for workers. At Cornell"s School of Hotel
Administration, for example, bachelor"s degree graduates get an average of four or five job offers with salaries
ranging from the high to low and plenty of chances for rapid advancement. Large companies especially like
a background of formal education coupled with work experience. But in the long run, too much specialization
does not pay off. Business, which has been flooded with MBAs, no longer considers the degree an automatic
stamp of approval. The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially, but the impact of a degree
washes out after five years.
As further evidence of the erosion of corporate faith in specialized degrees, Michigan State"s Scheetz cites
a pattern in corporate hiring practices. Although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires, they often
seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management. This sounds like a formal statement that you
approve of the liberal-arts (文科) graduate. Time and again labor-market analysts mention a need for talents
that liberal-arts majors are assumed to have: writing and communication skills, organizational skills, open-
mindedness and adaptability, and the ability to analyze and solve problems. David Birch, manager of the Boston
Red Sox, says that he does not hire anybody with an MBA or an engineering degree."I hire only liberal-arts
people because they have a less-than-canned way of doing things," says Birch.
For a liberal-arts degree, students focus on some basic courses that include literature history, mathematics,
economics, science, human behavior and a computer course or two. With these useful and important courses,
you can feel free to specialize, "A liberal-arts degree coupled with an MBA or some other technical training is
a very good combination in the marketplace," says Scheetz.
B. a bachelor"s degree in education
C. formal schooling and work experience
D. an MBA degree from top universities
B. MBA programs will not be as popular as they are now
C. people will not forget the degree the MBA graduates have got
D. most MBA programs fail to provide students with a foundation
B. they can do better in bundling changing situations
C. they are well trained in a variety of specialized fields
D. they have attended special programs in management
B. formal schooling is less important than job training
C. specialists are more expensive to hire than generalists
D. generalists will do better than specialists in management
to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons most of them move to find food more easily,
but others move to get away from places that are too crowded. When cold weather comes, many birds move
to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The
most famous migration (迁移) is probably the migration of the fish, which is called "salmon". This fish is born
in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its
birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mice. They
leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes
they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.
Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobsters (龙虾). Every year, when the season
of bad weather arrives, the lobsters get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody
knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go. So, sometimes we know why humans and animals
move from one place to another, but at other times we don"t. Maybe living things just like to travel.
B. enjoy warmer weather
C. find food more easily
D. find beautiful places
B. rivers
C. fresh water
D. its birthplace
B. the weather is bad
C. the place gets too crowded
D. they haven"t enough food
B. to the sea floor
C. at a certain time
D. to find more food
B. The migration of the fish called "salmon" is the most famous migration.
C. Living things move from one place to another because they like to travel.
D. Sometimes we know why and how living things move from one place to
another, but sometimes we don"t.
you"ll probably be surprised when you come in. Someone will give you an electronic PIN (个人身份号码)
to wear. This PIN tells the house who and where you are. The house uses this information to give you what
you need. When it"s dark outside, the PIN turns on the lights nearest you, and then turns them off as you
walk away from them. Music moves with you too. If the house knows your favorite music, it plays it. The
music seems to be everywhere, but in fact other people in the house hear different music or no music. If
you get a telephone call, only the nearest telephone rings.
Of course, you are also able to tell the house if you want something. There is a home control console
(控制台), a small machine that turns things on and off around you.
The PIN and the console are new ideas, but they are in fact like many things we have today. If you want
to go to a movie, you need a ticket. If I give you my car keys, you can use my car. The car works for you
because you have the keys. My house works for you because you wear the PIN or hold the console.
I believe that ten years from now, most new homes will have the systems that I"ve put in my house. The
systems will probably be even bigger and better than the ones I"ve put in today.
I like to try new ideas. I know that some of my ideas will work better than others. But I hope that one
day I will stop thinking of these systems as new, and ask myself instead, "How will I live without them?"
B. The function of the PIN.
C. A home for the future.
D. Easy life in the future.
B. To let readers know how special his house is.
C. To explain the importance of the PIN and the console.
D. To explain more easily what the functions of the PIN and the console are.
B. you can make a telephone call anywhere
C. it has your favorite music following you
D. the writer is able to change his new idea into practice
B. A famous doctor.
C. An idealist.
D. An experienced teacher.
B. play music
C. get a telephone call
D. go swimming
