第2题
An undergraduate course consists of a series of lectures, seminars and tutorials and, in science and engineering, laboratory classes, which in total account for about 15 hours per week. Arts students may well find that their official contact with teachers is less than this average, while science and engineering students may expect to be timetabled for up to 20 hours per week. Students studying for a particular degree will take a series of lecture courses which run in parallel at a fixed time in each week and may last one academic term or the whole year. Associated with each lecture course are seminars, tutorials and laboratory classes which draw upon, analyze, illustrate or amplify the topics presented in the lectures. Lecture classes can vary in size from 20 to 200 although larger sized lectures tend to decrease as students progress into the second and third year and more options become available. Seminars and tutorials are on the whole much smaller than lecture classes and in some departments can be on a one-to-one basis (that is, one member of staff to one student). Students are normallyexpecte to prepare work in advance for seminars and tutorials and this can take the form. of researching a topic for discussion, by writing essays or by solving problems. Lectures, seminars and tutorials are all one hour in length, whilst laboratory classes usually last either 2 or 3 hours. Much emphasis is put on how to spend as much time if not more studying by themselves as being taught. In the UK it is still common for people to say that they are u reading for a degree I Each student has a tutor whom they can consult on any matter whether academic or personal. Although the tutor will help, motivation for study is expected to come from the student.

Universities Branch Out
A．As never before in their long history, universities have become instruments of national
competition as well as instruments of peace. They are the place of the scientific
discoveries that move economies forward, and the primary means of educating the talent
required to obtain and maintain competitive advantage. But at the same time, the opening of
national borders to the flow of goods, services, information and especially people has
made universities a powerful force for global integration, mutual understanding and
geopolitical stability.
B．In response to the same forces that have driven the world economy, universities have
become more self-consciously global: seeking students from around the world who represent
the entire range of cultures and values, sending their own students abroad to prepare them
for global careers, offering courses of study that address the challenges of an
interconnected world and collaborative (合作的)research programs to advance science for
the benefit of all humanity.
C．Of the forces shaping higher education none is more sweeping than the movement across
borders. Over the past three decades the number of students leaving home each year to study
abroad has grown at an annual rate of 3.9 percent, from 800,000 in 1975 to 2.5 million in
2004. Most travel from one developed nation to another, but the flow from developing to
developed countries is growing rapidly. The reverse flow, from developed to developing
countries, is on the rise, too.
Today foreign students earn 30 percent of the doctoral degrees awarded in the United States
and 38 percent of those in the United Kingdom. And the number crossing borders for
undergraduate study is growing as well, to 8 percent of the undergraduates at America’s
best institutions and 10 percent of all undergraduates in the U.K. In the United States, 20
percent of the newly hired professors in science and engineering are foreign-born, and in
China many newly hired faculty members at the top research universities received their
graduate education abroad.
D．Universities are also encouraging students to spend some of their undergraduate years in
another country. In Europe, more than 140,000 students participate in the Erasmus program
each year, taking courses for credit in one of 2,200 participating institutions across the
continent. And in the United States, institutions are helping place students in summer
internships (实习) abroad to prepare them for global careers. Yale and Harvard have led the
way, offering every undergraduate at least one international study or internship
opportunity—and providing the financial resources to make it possible.
E．Globalization is also reshaping the way research is done. One new trend involves
sourcing portions of a research program to another country. Yale professor and Howard
Hughes Medical Institute investigator Tian Xu directs a research center focused on the
genetics of human disease at Shanghai’s Fudan University, in collaboration with faculty
colleagues from both schools. The Shanghai center has 95 employees and graduate students
working in a 4,300-square-meter laboratory facility. Yale faculty, postdoctors and graduate
students visit regularly and attend videoconference seminars with scientists from both
campuses. The arrangement benefits both countries; Xu’s Yale lab is more productive,
thanks to the lower costs of conducting research in China, and Chinese graduate students,
postdoctors and faculty get on-the-job training from a world-class scientist and his U.S.
team.
F．As a result of its strength in science, the United States has consistently led the world
in the commercialization of major new technologies, from the mainframe. computer and the
integrated circuit of the 1960s to the Internet infrastructure (基础设施) and applications
software of the 1990s. The link between university-based science and industrial application
is often indirect but sometimes highly visible: Silicon Valley was intentionally created by
Stanford University, and Route 128 outside Boston has long housed companies spun off from
MIT and Harvard. Around the world, governments have encouraged copying of this model,
perhaps most successfully in Cambridge, England, where Microsoft and scores of other
leading software and biotechnology companies have set up shop around the university.
G． For all its success, the United States remains deeply hesitant about sustaining the
research-university model. Most politicians recognize the link between investment in
science and national economic strength, but support for research funding has been unsteady.
The budget of the National Institutes of Health doubled between 1998 and 2003, but has
risen more slowly than inflation since then. Support for the physical sciences and
engineering barely kept pace with inflation during that same period. The attempt to make up
lost ground is welcome, but the nation would be better served by steady, predictable
increases in science funding at the rate of long-term GDP growth, which is on the order of
inflation plus 3 percent per year.
H．American politicians have great difficulty recognizing that admitting more foreign
students can greatly promote the national interest by increasing international
understanding. Adjusted for inflation, public funding for international exchanges and
foreign-language study is well below the levels of 40 years ago. In the wake of September
11, changes in the visa process caused a dramatic decline in the number of foreign students
seeking admission to U.S. universities, and a corresponding surge in enrollments in
Australia, Singapore and the U.K. Objections from American university and business leaders
led to improvements in the process and a reversal of the decline, but the United States is
still seen by many as unwelcoming to international students.
I． Most Americans recognize that universities contribute to the nation’s well-being
through their scientific research, but many fear that foreign students threaten American
competitiveness by taking their knowledge and skills back home. They fail to grasp that
welcoming foreign students to the United States has two important positive effects: first,
the very best of them stay in the States and—like immigrants throughout history—
strengthen the nation; and second, foreign students who study in the United States become
ambassadors for many of its most cherished (珍视) values when they return home. Or at least
they understand them better. In America as elsewhere, few instruments of foreign policy are
as effective in promoting peace and stability as welcoming international university
students.

The sheep, which are to mow (and, not inconsequentially, fertilize) an airy half-acre patch in the 19th District intended in the same spirit. City Hall refers to the project as “eco-grazing,” and it notes that the four ewes will prevent the use of noisy, gas-guzzling mowers and cut down on the use of herbicides. Paris has plans for a slightly larger eco-grazing project not far from the archives building, assuming all goes well; similar projects have been under way in smaller towns in the region in recent years.
The sheep, from a rare, diminutive Breton breed called Ouessant, stand just about two feet high. Chosen for their hardiness, city officials said, they will pasture here until October inside a three-foot-high, yellow electrified fence.
“This is really not a one-shot deal,” insisted René Dutrey, the adjunct mayor for the environment and sustainable development. Mr. Dutrey, a fast-talking man in orange-striped Adidas Samba sneakers, noted that the sheep had cost the city a total of just about $335, though no further economic projections have been drawn up for the time being.
A metal fence surrounds the grounds of the archives, and a security guard stands watch at the gate, so there is little risk that local predators — large, unleashed dogs, for instance — will be able to reach the ewes.
Curious humans, however, are encouraged to visit the sheep, and perhaps the archives, too. The eco-grazing project began as an initiative to attract the public to the archives, and informational panels have been put in place to explain what, exactly, the sheep are doing here.
“Myself, I wanted a donkey,” said Agnès Masson, the director of the archives, an ultramodern 1990 edifice built of concrete and glass. Sheep, it was decided, would be more appropriate.
But the archivists have had to be trained to care for the animals. In the unlikely event that a ewe should flip onto her back, Ms. Masson said, someone must rush to put her back on her feet.
Norman Joseph Woodland was born in Atlantic City on Sept. 6, 1921. As a Boy Scout he learned Morse code, the spark that would ignite his invention.
After spending World War II on the Manhattan Project , Mr. Woodland resumed his studies at the Drexel Institute of Technology in Philadelphia (it is now Drexel University), earning a bachelor’s degree in 1947.
As an undergraduate, Mr. Woodland perfected a system for delivering elevator music efficiently. He planned to pursue the project commercially, but his father, who had come of age in “Boardwalk Empire”-era Atlantic City, forbade it: elevator music, he said, was controlled by the mob, and no son of his was going to come within spitting distance.
The younger Mr. Woodland returned to Drexel for a master’s degree. In 1948, a local supermarket executive visited the campus, where he implored a dean to develop an efficient means of encoding product data. The dean demurred, but Mr. Silver, a fellow graduate student who overheard their conversation, was intrigued. He conscripted Mr. Woodland.
An early idea of theirs, which involved printing product information in fluorescent ink and reading it with ultraviolet light, proved unworkable.
But Mr. Woodland, convinced that a solution was close at hand, quit graduate school to devote himself to the problem. He holed up at his grandparents’ home in Miami Beach, where he spent the winter of 1948-49 in a chair in the sand, thinking.
To represent information visually, he realized, he would need a code. The only code he knew was the one he had learned in the Boy Scouts.
What would happen, Mr. Woodland wondered one day, if Morse code, with its elegant simplicity and limitless combinatorial potential, were adapted graphically？ He began trailing his fingers idly through the sand.
“What I’m going to tell you sounds like a fairy tale,” Mr. Woodland told Smithsonian magazine in 1999. “I poked my four fingers into the sand and for whatever reason — I didn’t know — I pulled my hand toward me and drew four lines. I said: ‘Golly! Now I have four lines, and they could be wide lines and narrow lines instead of dots and dashes.’”
Today, bar codes appears on the surface of almost every product of contemporary life.All because a bright young man, his mind ablaze with dots and dashes, one day raked his fingers through the sand.
