Even without taking the technology to its limits, the idea of education as a lifelong process is catching on throughout the industrialized world. Already, working adults who pursue their studies part-time make up roughly half of students taking college courses in the United States.
However, there is debate in scholar circles about how far new technology should be used for teaching academic subjects in which personal contacts between teacher and student are still vital. Britain's Open University, for example, a world leader in distance education, has embraced information technology cautiously, believing it to be no substitute for books and the exchange of ideas at live tutorials and summer schools.
But the Open University is also moving with the tide. It has set up a "knowledge media institute" to explore ways of adopting information technology. Some teachers are concerned about this trend, arguing that the heavy investment that students are expected to make in computer and communications equipment contradicts the concept of "open" cost, of course, is and important factor in many developing countries, where few people have computers or even phones. Rather than uniting the world, the new technologies could lead to societies of information haves and have-nots.
Distance learning is different from the traditional correspondence course in that______.
A．it requires the individual student to work alone
B．it enables all the students to work at the same pace
C．it allows students to discuss with one another and their teachers
D．it enables geographically scattered students to study in the same physical classroom
根据内容回答下列各题.
Not long ago, there lived in Auckland a working family who dreamed about a house of their own. Anyone then could read in the newspapers about the building companies who offered to put people into a new house 51 only a $1,000 deposit. Of course, the remainder had to be paid off with interest over a period of twenty years or so.
The worker and his wife hopefully went to one of these companies 52 this wonderful offer. And the man in the office said．“Yes, sure. You bring along $1,000 and we can 53 you with a new house.” So the worker and his wife had to work hard and in twelve months’ time they returned to the building man with $1,000. But the man in the office said, “Look, I’m sorry, 54 we’ll need $1,500 now. Costs have gone up since we saw you last, you know.”
The couple thought it over and decided it would not take very long to save the extra $500 if they worked hard. In six moths they worked 55 overtime and saved the $500 in spite of the high rent they had to pay for their flat. Back to the building man they 56 with their $1,500. But to their surprise he 57 the deposit was now $3,000. Now somewhat wiser, the worker said, “And the next time, I dare say we’ll find the deposit rising once more. How have we 58 save the extra $1,500？” “Well”, said the man, “I think we can stabilize the situation for about twelve months. By the time you come with $3,000, we will have had the house 59 for you.
The couple left, sad at heart as they saw their dream house 60 . By the time they had saved the extra $1.500, no doubt the deposit would have become still higher, maybe $5,000, then $10,000 and then…!

However, it is very 38 to ask children their age, and some adults may not mind 39 either. In fact, some elderly people are quite happy to 40 their age, especially ff they feel they look young 41 their age. Nevertheless, it is not very wise to ask a(n) 42 . question like “How old are you？”. If elderly people want to talk about-their age, and perhaps receive a compliment on how young they look, they may easily 43 the topic themselves, and ask the other person to 44 how old they are. 45 such a question, it is quite acceptable to discuss age 46 . They normally expect to be complimented on their youthfulness, though rather than 47 that they look very old!
48 Westerners do not usually ask people directly how old they are, this does not 49 that they are not interested to know how old other people are. They may ask someone else 50 the information, 51 they may try to 52 the topic indirectly. Sometimes discussions about educational 53 and the number of years of working experience may provide some 54 , but this is not always the 55 .

Even in traditional offices, “the lingua franca of corporate America has gotten much more emotional and much more right-brained than it was 20 years ago,” said Harvard Business School professor Nancy Koehn. She started spinning off examples. “If you and I parachuted back to Fortune 500 companies in 1990, we would see much less frequent use of terms like journey, mission, passion. There were goals, there were strategies, there were objectives, but we didn’t talk about energy; we didn’t talk about passion.”
Koehn pointed out that this new era of corporate vocabulary is very “team”-oriented—and not by coincidence. “Let’s not forget sports—in male-dominated corporate America, it’s still a big deal. It’s not explicitly conscious; it’s the idea that I’m a coach, and you’re my team, and we’re in this together. There are lots and lots of CEOs in very different companies, but most think of themselves as coaches and this is their team and they want to win.”
These terms are also intended to infuse work with meaning—and, as Khurana points out, increase allegiance to the firm. “You have the importation of terminology that historically used to be associated with non-profit organizations and religious organizations: Terms like vision, values, passion, and purpose,” said Khurana.
This new focus on personal fulfillment can help keep employees motivated amid increasingly loud debates over work-life balance. The “mommy wars” of the 1990s are still going on today, prompting arguments about why women still can’t have it all and books like Sheryl Sandberg’s Lean In, whose title has become a buzzword in its own right. Terms like unplug, offline, life-hack, bandwidth, and capacity are all about setting boundaries between the office and the home. But if your work is your “passion,” you’ll be more likely to devote yourself to it, even if that means going home for dinner and then working long after the kids are in bed.
But this seems to be the irony of office speak: Everyone makes fun of it, but managers love it, companies depend on it, and regular people willingly absorb it. As Nunberg said, “You can get people to think it’s nonsense at the same time that you buy into it.” In a workplace that’s fundamentally indifferent to your life and its meaning, office speak can help you figure out how you relate to your work—and how your work defines who you are.

考虑一个有以下柯布一道格拉斯生产函数的经济：Y=K1/3L2/3。这个经济有1000单位资本和1000个工人的劳动力。
a．求出描述这个经济中劳动力需求作为实际工资和资本存量函数的方程式。
b．如果实际工资可以调整到使劳动力供求均衡，那么，实际工资是多少？在这一均衡状态，就业量、产出和工人所赚到的总工资量是多少？
c．现在假设国会关注工人阶级的福利，通过一项法律要求企业向工人支付l单位产品的实际工资。这种工资与均衡工资相比如何？
d．议会不能指定企业以规定的工资雇佣多少工人。给定这一事实，这种法律有什么影响？特别地，就业、产出以及工人赚到的总收入会发生什么变动？
e．国会能成功地实现帮助工人阶级的目标吗？请解释。
f．你认为这种分析为考虑最低工资法提供了一种好方法吗？为什么是或不是？
Consider an economy with the following Cobb-Douglas production function：Y=K1/3L2/3. The economy has 1,000 units of capital and a labor force of 1,000 workers.
a．Derive the equation describing labor demand in this economy as a function of the real wage and the capital stock.
b．If the real wage can adjust to equilibrate labor supply and labor demand. what is the real wage？ In this equilibrium, what are employment, output, and the total amount earned by workers？
c．Now suppose that Congress concerned about the welfare of the working class, passes a law requiring firms to pay workers a real wage of 1 unit of output. How does this wage compare to the equilibrium wage？
d．Congress cannot dictate how many workers firms hire at the mandated wage. Given this fact, what are the effects of this law？ Specifically, what happens to employment, output, and the total amount earned by workers？
e．Will Congress succeed in its goal of helping the working class？ Explain.
f．Do you think that this analysis provides a good way of thinking about a minimum-wage law？ Why or why not？
