BEIJING-Pharmacologist Tu Youyou has become the first scientist on the mainland to win America"s

Following the UK Home Secretary’s meeting on reform of the student immigration system, the UK
government recently announced the end of the post-study work visa from April 2012. This will force tens
of thousands of Chinese students to leave the UK after graduation.
Sadly, the domestic（国内的）job market doesn’t welcome them with open arms. A report by
Tigtag.com at the end of 2011 showed that over 35 percent of students admitted that they have
employment problems.
"Returning students often have fluent English, creative minds and a serious attitude toward work,"said
Zhang Tingwen, an HR expert in ChinaHR.com. “But lack of work experience is a big problem.” Xia Lei, an HR manager, responded to Zhang. “We need people who can work for us. We don’t need people
from big name universities to attract customers”.
Difference in work practices is another problem that worries employers, Zhang pointed out. “Some
returning students might be used to Western ways of dealing with people and things.”
Huang Shanshan, 25, got a job in a communication company in Shenzhen.“I once worked part-time in UK. My colleagues ate snacks when they felt hungry, even during working time or in meetings.” Huang
brought some cakes to the office and ate them. When her manager saw that, he told her not to eat at
workplace. “It took me some time to adjust to company rules in China,” said Huang.
1. Why is Wang Lu forced to leave the UK after graduation?
A. Because post-study work visa will come to an end.
B. Because she has no effective ways to learn English.

D. Because different work practices worry employers.
2. From Xia Lei, we can learn that _______.
A. the domestic job market gives welcome to returnees with open arms
B. employers prefer people who can work to those from top universities
C. returnees are used to Western ways to deal with people and things around
D. it is hard for returning students with creative minds to take work seriously
3. It can be inferred from the text that _______.
A. the reform of immigration system has great effects on the British people
B. some practices like eating snacks are allowed at the workplace in China
C. lack of work experience is a big problem to find a suitable job in the UK
D. returning students are expected to adapt to the new working environment

A. In a science fiction.

D. In a student’s book.
g.However, there is nothing fixed aboutattitudes to dirt.
In the early 16th century, people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease, as
medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in.A particular
danger was, thought to lie in public baths.By 1538, the French king had closed the bath houses in his
kingdom.So did the king of England in 1546.Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe
lived with dirt in a friendly way.Henry Ⅳ, King of France, was famously dirty.Upon learning that a
nobleman had taken a bath, the king ordered that, to avoid the attack of disease, the nobleman should not
go out.
Though the belief in the merit of dirt was longlived, dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor
ever since the 18th century.Scientifically speaking, cleaning away dirt is good to health.Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease.Yet, it seems that standards of cleanliness
have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ.Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: clothes need to
be whiter than white, cloths ever softer, surfaces to shine.Has the hate for dirt, however, gone too far?
Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays.Many firsttime parents nervously try to warn their children
off touching dirt, which might be responsible for the spread of disease.On the contrary, Mary Ruebush, an
American immunologist (免疫学家), encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune
system.And the latter position is gaining some ground.
1. The kings of France and England in the 16th century closed bath houses because _____.
A. they lived healthily in a dirty environment
B. they thought bath houses were too dirty to stay in
C. they believed disease could be spread in public baths
D. they considered bathing as the cause of skin disease
2. Which of the following best describes Henry Ⅳ"s attitude to bathing?
A. Afraid.
B. Curious.
C. Approving.
D. Uninterested.
3. How does the passage mainly develop?
A. By providing examples.
B. By making comparisons.
C. By following
the order of time.D. By following the order of importance.
4. What is the author"s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To stress the role of dirt.
B. To introduce the history of dirt.
C. To call attention to the danger of dirt.
D. To present the change of views on dirt.
