A Chinese graduate’s record – setting $8,888,888 donation to his school at Yale University has caused wide debate at home.
The donation will primarily help build the new SOM campus, while part of it will provide scholarship support for the International Relations Program at Yale"s new Jackson Institute of Global Affairs, as well as fund(资助) a variety of China-related activities at the university.
Some asked why Zhang Lei, who graduated from Yale less than 10 years ago, chose an overseas institution rather than Renmin University, his alma mater (母校), for the donation. But a larger group of online users voiced support for Zhang"s move and said there is still room for improvement regarding management of universities in China.
"We should look at this news from an international standpoint," said Chi Fulin, professor and president of China Institute for Development and Reform. Chi said although Yale gets the money, the donation will also benefit China.
"It will promote more Sino-US exchange programs, and more Chinese will be involved in these exchanges." He said that China also has received a lot of support and funding from overseas donors, and Zhang"s move should be regarded with "respect, understanding and encouragement".
In terms of cultural and educational exchanges between China and the US, a larger part of financial aid comes from non – government organizations. "China should also try to attract more donations through such channels in the future," he said.
Zhang said Yale changed his life and taught him the spirit of giving. "Yale has been helping China for more than 100 years. he said, “Many Chinese leaders were educated at Yale. But the relationship has been one-way for too long and I want to help change that."
Zhang, who graduated from the Yale School of Management in 2002, worked for the Yale Investments Office. In 2005, Zhang founded Hillhouse Capital Management Ltd, a Beijing-based investment fund that manages $2.5 billion.
56．Zhang Lei contributed such a large sum of money to Yale just .
A．to relieve the situation that Yale was lacking in money
B．to pay Yale back for the free education he received
C．to help change the pattern of the one – way assistance
D．to promote the relationship between China and the US

An old story goes as follows．King took another wife, who had a magic mirror. The queen often asked the mirror, “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of all?” The mirror answered “You, Queen, are the fairest of all,” and the Queen was content, because she knew the mirror could speak nothing but the truth．
Inspired by the fairy tale, a New York-based designer has come up with a mirror equipped with infrared （红外线的） technology that sends a live video to any cell phone, e-mail account or personal digital assistant （PDA） device selected by a shopper．
Christopher Enrich, chief technology officer for digital design company IconNicholson, said putting these mirrors outside store fitting rooms meant women could go shopping with their friends — even they are far apart．
“She could be in Paris, your mom, watching you try on your wedding dress（while you are in New York）,” Enright told Reuters Tuesday as he exhibited the interactive （互动的）mirror at a trade show．
Using the interactive mirror, a shopper’s friends can then text message back with comments about the clothes being tried on．
Shoppers can also use touch screens on the three-paneled （面板） mirror to choose matching shoes or accessories （配件）, Enright said．
The left-hand panel has a touch screen that allows a customer to select a different suit from a database, and then see how it looks on her in the center mirror without physically putting the clothes on．
The right-hand panel has a screen offering more information about other shoes or accessories the shopper also might like．
Enright said teenagers were already using their cell phones to send pictures to their friends when they were out shopping．“This is ．．．adding technology to something we already do,” Enright said．
66．The interactive mirror mentioned in the text ______．
A．involves modern technology and great advantages
B．allows women shoppers to select clothes at home
C．was displayed and sold well at a trade show
D．spares people’s trouble of going shopping
67．Which is the most possible order according to the passage?
① Shoppers’ friends or relatives text message back with comments．
② Mirrors send a live video to any mobile phone, e-mail account or PDA．
③ Consumers make a final decision．
④ Shoppers try on the clothes．
A．①②③④ B．④③②① C．②①④③ D．④②①③
68．From the passage we can conclude that ______．
A．the interactive mirrors will surely promote sales on a large scale
B．the designer of the mirror has profited a lot from the invention
C．the new shopping technology would cater to fashion hunters
D．the digital mirrors will replace all traditional fitting-rooms
69．Which of the following descriptions about the touch screen is true?
A．It enables a shopper to order a suit which is not available now．
B．It allows shoppers to “try on” chosen clothes without putting them on．
C．The touch screens are distributed on three more panels．
D．It provides information merely about shoes and accessories．
70．What is the text mainly about?
A．The great influence of a fairy tale．
B．The development of the interactive mirror．
C．Working principles of a digital product．
D．Technology added to traditional products．
Carnegie was born in Dunfermlined, Scotland, on November 25,1835. The son of a weaver, he came with his family to the United States in 1848 and settled in Allegheny, Pennsylvania. At age thirteen, Carnegie went to work as a bobbin（线轴）boy in a cotton mill. He then moved rapidly through a series of jobs with Western Union and the Pnnsylvania Railroad. In 1865, he resigned to establish his own business and eventually organized the Carnegie Steel Company, which started the steel industry in Pittsburgh. At age sixty-five, he sold the company to J. P. Morgan for $480 million and devoted the rest of his life to his philanthropic activities and writing, including his autobiography（自传）.
Many persons of wealth have contributed to charity, but Carnegie was perhaps the first to state publicly that the rich have a moral responsibility to donate their fortune. In 1889 he wrote The Gospe（福音）of Wealth, in which he stated that all personal wealth beyond what was required to supply the needs of one’s family should be regarded as a trust fund to be managed for the benefit of the company.
Carnegie set about giving away his fortune through countless personal gifts and through the establishment of various trusts. In his thirties, Carnegie had already begun to give away some of his fast-accumulating funds. His first large gifts were made to his native town. Later he created seven philanthropic and educational organizations in the United States, including Carnegie Corporation of New York, and several more in Europe.
One of Carnegie’s lifelong interests was the establishment of free public libraries to make available to everyone a means of self-education. There were only a few public libraries in the world when, in 1881, Carnegie began to promote his idea. He and the Corporation subsequently（随后）spent over $56 million to build 2,509 libraries throughout the English-speaking world.
After this program was ended in 1917, the Corporation continued for about forty years an interest in the improvement of library services. Other major program in the Corporation’s early history included adult education and education in the fine arts.
During his lifetime, Carnegie gave away over $350 million. He died in Lenox, Massachusetts on August 11,1919.
53．Carnegie became wealthy by .
A．his investment in weaving industry B．his father’s financial support
C．starting his steel business from nothing D．his philanthropic activities
54．What is the correct order of events related to Carnegie?
a．He sold his company.
b．He organized the Carnegie Steel Company.
c．He worked in a cotton mill.
d．He came to the United States.
e．He wrote The Gospel of Wealth.
A．c-d-e-b-a B．c-b-a-d-e C．d-c-b-e-a D．d-b-a-e-c
55．What can we learn about Carnegie according to the passage?
A．He was the first wealthy person who contributed to charity.
B．He believed that it was the duty of the wealthy to help society.
C．He called on the wealthy to give away all of their fortune to help the poor.
D．He was willing to give personal gifts only to his friends and relatives.
56．Carnegie established public libraries in order to .
A．win a good reputation for his company
B．collect money for his educational organizations
C．improve library services
D．help people educate themselves
61．Stevens blames the modern methods of teaching for the deafening noise in primary schools.
62．Jessica holds the view that it’s shameful that the investment in education has not achieved the expected results.
63．Ingersoll believes that education should be assessed from the students’ aspect and that how much they enjoy is what counts most.
64．Carlos thinks that in terms of education, students’ own willingness to learn really matters.
65．Bernal thinks the standard of education has made significant progress though we may not see plenty of obvious sings of it.
