"Time is a problem for children," states a news report for a new Swiss watch.Children in some countries "learn time slowly" because "they don"t wear watches" and "parents don"t really know how to teach them time." The children grow up with this handicap and become adults-and then can"t get to work on time.Is there an answer to this problem? Of course-it"s the Flick Flak, made by a famous Swiss watch company.
The Flick Flak is being marketed as something teaching watch for children aged 4 to 10.The watch itself does not teach children how to tell time, of course; it merely "takes their imagination" by presenting the "hour" hand as a beautiful red girl named Flak and the "minute" hand as a tall blue boy named Flick.Flick points to related "blue" minutes on the dial, while Flak points to "red" hour numbers.The characters and colors combined with parental help, are supposed to teach young children how to tell time.
The watch comes equipped with a standard battery and a nylon band (尼龙表带).Peter Lipkin, the United States sales manager for the Flick Flak, calls it "childproof: if it gets dirty you can throw the whole watch in the washing machine." The product is being sold in select department stores in Europe, Asia and the United States for a suggested price of $25.Parents who buy the watch may discover that it is one thing to tell time; it"s quite another for them to be on time.

Self—employed private doctors who charge a fee each patient’s visit are the foundation of medical practice in the United States. Most doctors have contract relationship with one or more hospitals in the community. They send their patients to this hospital,which usually charges patients according to the number of days they stay and the facilities (operation room, tests, medicines that they use). Some hospitals belong to a city, a state or a government agency. Others are operated by religious orders (教会)or other non—profit groups.
Some medical doctors are on salary. Salaried doctors may work as hospital staff (员工)members, or residents, who are often still in training . They may teach in medical schools, or be hired by corporations to care for their workers to work for the government’s Public Health Service.
Doctors are among the best paid professionals in the United States. In the 1980s, it was not uncommon for medical doctors to earn incomes of more than $100,000 a year. Specialists, particularly surgeons, might earn several times that amount. Doctors list many reasons why they deserve to be so well rewarded for their work. One reason is the long and expensive preparation required to become a doctor in the United States. Most would—be doctors first attend college for four years, which can cost nearly $20,000 a year at one of the best private institutions. Then they attend medical school for four years. Tuition(学费)alone can more than $10,000 a year. By the time they have obtained their medical degrees, many young doctors are deeply in debt. They still face three to five years of residency(实习阶段) in hospital, the first year as an assistant. The hours are long and the pay is relatively low.
Setting up a medical practice is expensive, too. Sometimes several doctors will decide to establish a group practice, so they can share the expense of maintaining an office and buying equipment. These doctors also take care of each other’s patients in emergencies.
Doctors work long hours and must accept a great deal of responsibility. Many medical procedures, even quite practiced many times, still involve risk. It is understandable that doctors want to be well—paid for making decisions which can mean the difference between life and death.
小题1:According to the passage, it is very unlikely that an American hospital is owned by         .
A.a church .comB.a corporationC.a cityD.a state
小题2:The expenses for becoming a doctor are mainly spent on           .
A.schooling and retrainingB.practice in a hospital
C.facilities he or she usesD.education he or she receives
小题3:Sometimes several doctors set up a group medical practice mainly because       .
A.it’s difficult for one doctor to take care of too many patients
B.they can take turns to work for long hours
C.facilities may be too much of burden for one doctor to shoulder
D.no one wants to take too much responsibility
小题4:The statement that fully expresses the author’s view towards US doctors’ payment is that     .
A.they deserve a very good payment for their expensive education and their responsibility
B.it is reasonable for doctors to have a large income because their work is dangerous
C.doctors should be better paid because they work long hours in bad conditions
D.doctors have great responsibility, so it is understandable that they should be well paid

Today, when there are many top graduates looking for top jobs, graduates can differentiate(区别) themselves by obtaining a double major or even a double degree. Increasingly, employers are looking for individuals who are not only competent and intelligent, but who have different skill sets and who are knowledgeable in many areas. Part of the appeal to employers is that your extra work demonstrates a willingness to take on difficult tasks. Additionally, if your majors overlap (重叠), you are able to show potential employers that you have both breadth  and depth of knowledge.
By studying for a double major, although you will be studying for only one degree, you will be focusing on two related and integrated subjects that complement (补充) each other. Classes overlap between the majors, meaning fewer classes are required than with a double degree, so it is easier to finish within four years.
In contrast, with the more rigorous (严格的) double degree, you will be studying for two different degrees in two completely different areas of study. Although pursuing such a course of study allows students to complete two wholly separate degrees in less time than if they were to earn them separately, many strong students still find it incredibly difficult to complete in four or five years.
If you are committed to a double major/degree, it is wise to do a little bit of planning. Some students try to find two courses of studies that are related, while others seek to round out their academic studies by choosing two completely unrelated fields.
For double majors, common pairings include: (i) economics and a foreign language; (ii) political science or government and journalism; (iii) economics and psychology.
For double degrees, common pairings include: (i) engineering and a business program such as finance or accounting; (ii) engineering and economics.
小题1:What do employers think of the graduates with different skill sets and knowledge in many areas?
A.They should be given top jobs.
B.They are willing to take difficult tasks.

A.should complete two wholly separate degrees
B.need to focus on two related and integrated subjects
C.need to spend more time than obtaining a double degree
D.have to take courses in two completely different areas of study
小题4:If you are devoted to a double major or degree, you should _________.
A.find two subjects with overlapping classes
B.learn about what your potential employers want
C.decide what to learn with your intentions considered
