The students are more likely to stay in school, graduat

40、e and go on to higher education.In Germany, students as young as 13 and 14 are expected to do internships. German companies work with schools to make sure that young people get the education they need for future employment.But in America, education reform programs focus on how well students do in ex

41、ams instead of bringing them into contact with the working world. Harvard Education school professor Robert Schwartz has criticized education reformers for trying to place all graduates directly on the four-year college track. Schwartz argued that this approach leaves the countrys most vulnerable (易

42、受影响的) kids with no jobs and no skills.Schwartz believed that the best career programs encourage kids to go for higher education while also teaching them valuable practical skills at high school. James Madison High School in New York, for example, encourages students to choose classes on career-based

43、 courses. The school then helps them gain on the job experience in those fields while theyre still at high school.However, even for teens whose schools encourage them to connect with work, the job market is daunting.

48、s also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees nest (巢) and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals look

49、ing for honey have a strange and unexpected helpera little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax (蜂蜡) in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it look

50、s for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at th

51、e nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determin

52、ed in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.49. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees nest?A.

55、er looked better. In its youth, television was a piece of furniture with a tiny, round screen showing unclear pictures of low-budget programs. In spite of its shortcomings, it became popular. Between 1950 and 1963, the number of American families with a television jumped from 9% to 92% of the popula

56、tion.As the audience got larger, the technology got better. Television sets became more reliable through the 1960s. Both of the reception and the picture improved. The major networks started broadcasting programs in color.Even greater improvements were coming according to Sanford Brown, who wrote an

57、 article for the Post in 1967. Surprisingly, just about every prediction he made in the article became a reality. For example: All sets in the not-distant future will be color instruments. He also predicted that TV sets would become smaller, simpler, more reliable and less expensive and may forever

58、put the TV repairman out of work. Smaller sets do not, of course, mean smaller screens. TV engineers expect screens to get much bigger. However, todays 3-D TV is even farther away, if its coming at all. There is some doubt whether the public would be eager to pay for it, in view of peoples cold rece

59、ption given to 3-D movies.But the technology with the greatest potential, according to Brown, was cable television (有线电视), which was still in its early stages then. As he predicted, the future of cable television was highly interactive (互动的). It wasnt cable television that gave Americans their elect

60、ronic connection to the world, however. It was the Internet. He even foresaw the future office: using picture phones, big-screen televisions for conferences, and computers providing information, at the touch of a button.Brown ever said, “The future of television is no longer a question of what we ca

61、n invent. Its a question of what we want.”54. What can we infer about television sets in the 1960s?A. They were very popular with Americans.B. The reception showed no improvement.C. They showed black-and-white pictures.D. They were out of order now and then.55. Which of the followings did Sanford Brown fail to predict?A. Televisions good quality.B. The invention of 3-D TV.C.
