XUE Bai, a 21-year-old university student, hopes to volunteer for Beijing"s 2008 Olympics. "I want to do something for the Olympics. It is also a kind of learning for me," said the fourth-year student at Beijing Foreign Studies University. Now it is time for Xue to act on her plan. The Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the 2008 Olympiad  will start to recruit(招募)volunteers on August 28.
The Olympics will need around 70,000 volunteers and the Paralympic Games(残疾人奥运会) will need another 30,000. University students like Xue will make up the majority of the volunteers. But the Olympics also need other volunteers - ordinary citizens and foreigners, for example. Students in Beijing should apply through their universities. Other volunteers may apply online or submit a written application. The online application system and a hotline will be open next Monday. For applicants outside Beijing, the application process begins in December. There is plenty of work for volunteers to do. For example, there will be chances to help publicize the games over the next two years. During the games themselves, volunteers will clean, serve food, marshal(礼仪引导)or offer language help.
The Sydney Olympics in 2000 was the first that placed special emphasis on the role of volunteers. It used more than 45,000 volunteers in different roles. In the 2004 Athens Olympics, around 45,000 volunteers were used. More than 70,000 volunteers will be needed for the Olympic games and Paralympic Games in 2012, the London Olympic Organizing Committee has said.

According to a recent report, some once-hot majors like English, Computer and Law for Chinese students entering college have now fallen out of favor. The reason is that more graduates studying in those fields end up    1  .
This year, a sample of 500,000 college    2   from 2009 were surveyed and 220,000 questionnaires were received back for the 2010 report. Among the   3   
majors, Law graduates had the most difficulty finding jobs, with the   4   
unemployment rate(比率) of 17.7% of all the majors in 2009. English majors had the highest    5   of the unemployed for three years, with 15,700 graduates still out of work.
“Such majors as Computer, English and Law were the most    6   ones for Beijing students entering universities in 2005, but now these graduates are in a tight corner,” said Ba ran, a senior counselor(顾问)at a well-known company. Ba said that the expansion(扩大)of college enrollment(注册)for those hot majors five years ago has    7   an over-supply in the market, making it harder for those graduates to find jobs.
On the other side, engineering graduates majoring in Geological Engineering, Ship and Marine Engineering are    8   most in the job market. Engineering majors are more practical in professional skills and work experience, which are favored by many    9  . The graduates are thus armed with a competitive    10   in the cruel job market.
The report    11   a system should be set up against majors with a high risk of    12  . Undergraduates studying Law or English are encouraged to change their    13   or obtain a second degree. For some colleges and provinces with   14   employment rates, the report advised a(n)   15   in enrollment numbers or even a temporary (暂时的) stop in enrolling students.

The British usually expect one or two snowfalls each year but the amount of snow rarely affects everyday life. However, this week Britain has had the worst snow it has seen in around 18 years. Some places had more than 30cm in a day.
The bad weather caused severe disruption. More than 3000 schools had to close as teachers and pupils were unable to get to school. School children weren’t too unhappy about it though as they headed out to play the snow, building snowmen, having snowball fights, sledging and some even snowboarding and skiing.
In London, bus services were withdrawn for a day and tubes and trains were cancelled. Major motorways in the country had to close. Many people were unable to get to work and it is thought the cost of this lost labor is around &1 billion (10 billion yuan) to businesses and the economy.
Anyone who wanted to leave the country had problems too. Runways were closed at all the UK’s major airports because of the amount of snow. Hundreds of flights were cancelled leaving some passengers stranded at airports.
So why is the UK so ill-prepared for snow? The mayor of London, Boris Johnson, explained that there aren’t enough snow –ploughs(铲雪机)and gritters(撒沙机)and it doesn’t make sense to buy such equipment when it snows so infrequently.
The south-east of England was the hardest hit at the beginning of the week but the snow is now moving northwards where the chaos continues.
More ice and snow is forecast throughout the week and the advice from travel and weather organizations is to stay indoors unless you really need to venture out!

D.The government organized to clear the snow away with snow-ploughs and gritters.
小题2: What does the underlined phrase venture out probably mean in last paragraph?
A.go outB.search out
C.take no risksD.stay indoors
小题3: What can we learn from the passage?
A.School children seemed happy to head out to play in the snow though schools had to close.
B.The cost of the lost labor reached around 10 billion yuan to businesses and the economy.
C.Hundreds of flights couldn’t land because the runways were closed at major British airports.
D.Tubes and trains in London were cancelled, but drivers were still driving in main motorways.

Your teenage daughter is supposed to be doing homework, but you catch her chatting online. She tells you that she’s talking about the math test tomorrow. Before your eyes start rolling, listen up: teens are using social networking sites for more than just gossip, according to a new study by the National School Boards Association.
The students who took part in the online survey, aged 9 to 17, said they spent almost as much time on social networking online as they did watching television. And it is what these kids are talking about online that is causing such a cheer: education. Of the students who took part in the study 60 percent reported that some of the most popular social networking topics were college planning, learning outside of school, careers, and schoolwork. They also reported posting writing and art projects that might have nothing to do with schoolwork.
Ann Flynn, director of education technology for the National School Boards Association, says incorporating (合并) social networking tools into educational curriculum (课程) is the way forward. Flynn says a school in Cleveland, Ohio is posting students’ book reports on a blog for students of their own ages, parents and other teachers to read and comment on. “If someone reacts other than the teacher, a child is much more likely to take an assignment seriously,” Flynn says.
Not only students but also parents can benefit. Now parents can go online and know what the class is doing. So, next time your child says her blog is educational, get curious, sit down and check out the blog with her. You might just learn something new yourself.
小题1:We can infer from the text that Ann Flynn       .
A.supports students in using social networking sites
B.used to think badly of students’ using social networking sites
C.suggests schools set up their own social networking sites
D.suggests teachers inspect what students do on social networking sites
小题2:How does the school in Cleveland mentioned in the text use social net-working sites?
A.It asks each student to keep a blog.
B.It invites parents to comment on students’ work.
C.It welcomes comments on students’ book reports online.
D.It lets students keep in touch with their teachers online.
小题3:A student will not probably take an assignment seriously if he gets comments from       .
A.a strangerB.his teachersC.his parentsD.his classmates
小题4:Why can parents benefit from social networking sites?
A.Because parents can make a lot of friends online.
B.Because parents can help their children with their schoolwork.
C.Because parents can know their children’s learning at school.
D.Because parents can keep up with social development.
