As Chinese society changes, higher education is undergoing major transformations. The university
model of the United States and other Western countries has a powerful influence. New trends in Chinese
higher education are attracting the attention of global educators. Since the establishment of Westernoriented modern universities at the end of nineteenth century, Chinese higher education has continued to
evolve. Over the past two decades, however, tremendous economic development in China has stimulated
reforms in higher education that have resulted in some remarkable changes.
The first modern institution, Peiyang University, was founded in Tianjin. The university changed its
name to Tianjin University in 1951 and became one of the leading universities in China: Next, Jiaotong
University was founded in Shanghai in 1896. In the 1950s, most of this university was moved to Xi'an, an
ancient capital city in northwest China, and became Xi'an Jiaotong University; the part of the university
remaining in Shanghai was renamed Shanghai Jiaotong University.
Tianjin University celebrated its hundredth anniversary in 1995, followed by Xi'an Jiaotong and
Shanghai Jiaotong Universities in 1996. Other leading universities, such as Zhejiang University (1897),
Beijing University (1898), and Nanjing University (1902) also recently celebrated their hundredth
anniversaries, one after another. These celebrations marked the beginning of a new chapter in Chinese
higher education.

V/ Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D.
In developing countries, people are sometimes unaware of the importance of education, and there is
economic pressure from those parents who prioritize their children's, making money in the short term over
any long-term benefits of education. Recent studies on child labor and, poverty have suggested that when
poor families reach a certain economic threshold where families are able to provide for their basic needs,
parents return their children to school. This has been found to be true, once the threshold has been
breached, even if the potential economic value of the children's work has increased since their return to
school.
Other problems are that teachers are often paid less than other professions; a lack of good universities
and a low acceptance rate for good universities are evident in countries with a relatively high population
density.
India has launched EDUSAT, an education satellite that can reach remote parts of the country at a
greatly reduced cost. There is also ail initiative supported by several major corporations to develop a $100
laptop. The laptops have been available since 2007. The laptops, sold at cost, will enable developing
countries to give their children a digital education. In Africa, an "e-school program" has been launched to
provide all 600,000 primary and high schools with computer equipment, learning materials and internet

access within 10 years. Volunteer groups are working to give more individuals opportunity to receive

VI/ Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer A, B, C or D.
Preparation is a key to a successful interview. Does the idea of going to a job interview make you feel
a little nervous? Many people find that it is the hardest part of the employing process. But it is not really
true. The more you prepare and practice, the more comfortable you will feel. You should find out as much
as possible about the company before you go to the interview. Understand the products that they produce
and the services that they provide. It is also good to know who the customers are and who the major
competitors are. Practice makes perfect. It will also make you feel more confident and relaxed. So, practice
your answers to common questions. Make a list of questions to ask, too. Almost all interviewers will ask if
you have questions. This is a great opportunity for you to show your keenness, enthusiasm, and
knowledge.
Make a great impression. The interview is your chance to show that you are the best person for the
job. Your application or resume has already exhibited that you are qualified. Now it is up to you to show
how your skills and experience match this position and this company. The employer will be looking and
listening to determine if you are a good fit. He/she will be looking for a number of different qualities, in
addition to the skills that you possess. To make the best impression, dress appropriately; express your
strengths; arrive early, by about 10-15 minutes; be enthusiastic; shake hands firmly; be an active listener;
sit up straight and maintain eye contact; and ask questions
After the interview, follow up with a thank-you note. This is a chance for you to restate your interest
and how you can benefit the company. Your best bet is to try to time it so that the note gets there before the
hiring: decision is made. You should also follow up with a phone call if you do not hear back from the
employer within the specified time.
