11、for colleges and universities. In one camp: those who paint a rosy picture of an economy that will continue to demand higher levels of education for an increasing share of the workforce. In the other: those who believe fewer people will enroll（入学）in college as tuition costs go out of control and alt
12、ernatives to the traditional degree emerge.“We are living in an age for learning, when theres so much knowledge available, that one would think that this is good news for higher education,” Bryan Alexander told me recently. Alexander writes often about the future of higher education and is finishing
13、 a book on the subject for Johns Hopkins University Press. “Yet weve seen enrollment in higher education drop for six years.”Alexander believes that for some colleges and universities to survive, they need to shift from their historical mission of serving one type of student (usually a teenager fres
14、h out of high school) for a specific period of time. “Were going to see many different ways through higher education in the future,” Alexander said, “from closer ties between secondary and postsecondary（中学后）schools to new options for adults. The question is, which institutions adopt new models and w
15、hich try desperately to hang on to what they have.”“The fact is that to maintain affordability, accessibility and excellence, something needs to change,” Rafael Bras, Georgia Techs provost (院长), told me when he unveiled the report at the Milken Institute Global Conference this past spring.The commis
16、sions report includes many impressive ideas, but three point to the possibility of a very different future for colleges and universities.1) College for life, rather than just four years. The primary recommendation of the Georgia Tech report is that the university turns itself into a place for lifelo
17、ng learning that allows students to “associate rather than enroll.”“Students who we educate now are expected to have a dozen occupations,” Bras said. “So a system that receives students once in their lives and turns them out with the Good Housekeeping seal(印章) of approval to become alums (校友) and co
18、me back on occasion and give money is not the right model for the future.”2) A network of advisers and coaches for a career. If education never ends, Georgia Tech predicts, neither should the critical advising function that colleges provide to students. The commission outlines a plan in which artifi
19、cial intelligence and virtual tutors help advise students about selecting courses and finding the best career options. But even for a university focused on science and technology, Georgia Tech doesnt suggest in its report that computers will replace humans for all advising.3) A distributed presence
20、around the world. Colleges and universities operate campuses and require students to come to them. In the past couple of decades, online education has grown greatly, but for the most part, higher education is still about face-to-face interactions.Georgia Tech imagines a future in which the two world
21、s are blended in what it calls the “atrium” a place that share space with entrepreneurs and become gathering places for students and alumni.In some ways, as the report noted, the atrium idea is a nod to the past, when universities had agricultural and engineering experiment stations with services cl
22、oser to where people in the state needed them.Whether Georgia Techs ideas will become real is, of course, unclear. But as Alexander told me after reading it, “There is a strong emphasis on flexibility and transformation so they can meet emergent trends.” This is clear: colleges and universities are
23、about to undergo a period of deep change whether they want to or not as the needs of students and the economy shift.1、What can we learn from the two camps opinions about future colleges?AFuture workforce will have high levels of education.BThe expensive traditional degree is losing its appeal.CTradi

29、t significant word in todays competitive business environment because it directs the manager of a business to focus inward on their personal abilities and style. Experts on leadership will quickly point out that “how things get done” influences the success of the outcomes and indicates a right way a
30、nd a wrong way to do things. When a noted leader on the art of management, Peter Drucker， coined the phrase “Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things,” he was seeking to clarify the distinctions he associates with the terms.When Stephen Covey, founder and director of th
31、e Leadership Institute, explored leadership styles in the past decade, he focused on the habits of a great number of highly effective individuals. His Seven Habits of Highly Effective People became a popular bestseller very quickly. His ideas forced a reexamination of the early leadership example, w
32、hich centered on the feature that was found in the character ethic and the personality ethic. The former ethic suggested success was founded on modesty, loyalty, courage, patience, and so on. The personality ethic suggested it was one5s attitude, not behavior, that inspired success, and this ethic w
33、as founded on a belief of positive mental attitude. In contrast to each of these ideas, Covey advocates that leaders need to understand universal principles of effectiveness, and he highlights how vital it is for leaders to first personally manage themselves if they are to enjoy any hope of outstand
34、ing success in their work environments. To achieve a desired vision for your business, it is essential that you have a personal vision of where you are headed and what you value. Business leadership means that managers need to “put first things first，” which implies that before leading others, you n
35、eed to be clear on your own values, abilities, and strengths and be seen as trustworthy.1、What does Peter Druckers phrase infer?ALeaders should be good at making right decisions.BLeaders should be good at doing things right.CLeaders should be good at ignoring the distinctions he associates with the
36、terms.DLeaders should be skilled in predicting future.2、Under what condition are people likely to succeed, in terms of what the personality ethic suggests?AWhen people have little determination, they will be successful.BWhen people have good behaviour, they will gain success.CIf people have positive
37、 mental attitude, they are likely to succeed.DIf people have negative mental attitude, they are certain to succeed.3、How can leaders enjoy outstanding success in their work environments, according to Stephen Covey?AFirstly they have to think highly of themselves.BThey are supposed to benefit themsel
38、ves.CThey cannot adjust themselves.DFirst personally they must manage themselves.4、What is the meaning of the underlined word “vision”？ABright future.BGood beginning.CGood scenery.DPretty background.5、To be good leaders, what must managers pay close attention to?AThey must pay close attention to uni

40、 in soy fields about 2 miles west of Detroit. It was found by farmer James Bristle and his neighbor Trent Satterthwaite, who were reportedly digging in the field. At first, they couldnt figure out what they were seeing.“It was probably a rib bone that came up,” Bristle tells Ann Arbor News. “We thou
41、ght it was a bent fence post.” Upon closer inspection, however, it became clear even to untrained eyes this was no fence post. “We knew it was something special.” Then they sped up the dig.After finding the bones Monday night, Bristle called the University of Michigan Tuesday morning to report his f
42、ind. Scientist Daniel Fisher arrived to inspect it Wednesday, and by Thursday morning he had confirmed its a woolly mammoth. He concludes the animal was about 40 years old when it died. It was hunted by humans, he says, who killed it arid stored the remains in a pond as a way of preserving the meat
43、for future use. Its still too early to tell exactly how it died, Fisher tells Detroits WWJ-TV, “but the skeleton showed signs of humans butchering.”The bones are being temporarily stored nearby, according to the Free Press, and it remains unclear where theyll eventually end up. Their research value
44、will be determined once theyve been cleaned and dried.Woolly mammoths once lived in Eurasia and North America, and most disappeared by 10,000 years agoa demise (终止) that has been linked not only to humans, but also to changing climate.
