EducationBA MENTORING ( 导师制) program is giving life changing opportunities toBanbury youths.Young Inspirations was founded two years ago to provide mentoring sessions for students and unemployed young adults aged 11 to 21.Alex Goldberg, the programs founder, said: We set up Young Inspirations because we wanted to give young people experiences which will potentially be life changing and broaden their outlook.“We try to create work experience opportunities that will really make a difference to our youths. For example, weve secured internships (实习) with world-famous firms such as Honda.“At a time of funding cutbacks where schools are finding it more and more difficult to offer this kind of mentoring, it is extremely important that these opportunities are available both to help youths with their school work and grades and to give them opportunities which may help shape their futures.” Kieran Hepburn, 14, is one of a group of Banbury youths who has benefited from the program so far. In October the Banbury School pupil was acpanied by Young Inspirations staff to Paris where he was an observer at the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organizations (UNESCO) International Youth Forum (论坛).The event was held for young people from around the world, to seek their views on how the future of youth and education should look. Kieran joined several hundred observers mostly in their 20s and was the only UK school pupil to attend the event. Kieran thinks the trip was a life changing experience. “Before we left I didnt quite know what to make of it but when we got there we didnt stop, it was amazing,” he said, “We went to three or four hours of debates each day and then did something cultural each afternoon.”The main theme of the forum was how youth can drive change in political and public life. It dealt with issues such as drug abuse, violence and unemployment.Kieran said: “It has really helped me to improve my confidence and social skills as well as my school grades and I was voted most improved pupil at school in August.”The Young Inspirations mentoring sessions take place each Friday in Banbury.

Debates Help Youth with Their GradesCLast week, Vodafone started a test of the UKs first full 5G service, available for use by businesses in Salford. It is part of its plan to trial the technology in seven UK cities. But what can we expect from the next generation of mobile technology?One thing we will see in the preparation for the test is lots of tricks with the new tech. Earlier this year, operators paid almost 1.4 billion for the 5G wavelengths, and to pensate for that cash, they will need to catch the eye of consumers. In September, Vodafone used its bit of the range to display the UKs first hologram (全息) call. The Manchester City captain Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram in Newbury. It isnt all holograms, however: 5G will offer faster Internet access, with Of (英国通讯管理局) suggesting that video that takes a minute to download on 4G will be available in just a second.The wider application is to support connected equipment on the Internet of things -not just the Internet-enabled fridge that can reorder your milk for you,but the network that will enable driverless cars and delivery drones (无人机) tomunicate with each other.Prof William Webb has warned that the technology could be a case of the emperors new clothes. Much of the speed increase, he claims, could have been achieved by putting more money in the 4G network, rather than a new technology. Other different voices have suggested that a focus on rolling out wider rural broadband access and addressing current network coverage would be more beneficial to the UK as a whole.Obviously, 5G will also bring a cost to consumers. It requires a handset for both 5G and 4G, and the first 5G-enabled smart phones are expected in the ing year. With the slow pace of network rollout so far, it is likely that consumers will end up upgrading to a new 5 G phone well before 5 G bees widely available in the next couple of years.46. Why does Prof William Webb say “the technology could be a case of the emperors new clothes” ?A. He is in favor of the application of the new technology. B. 5G will bring a cost to consumers in their daily life.C. 5G helps people municate better with each other. D. He prefers more money to be spent on 4G networks.47. The underlined word addressing in the fourth paragraph has the closest meaning to A. making a speech to B. trying to solveC. managing to decrease D. responding to48. The last paragraph indicates that .A. itll take several years to make 5G accessible to the public in the UK B. 5G service shows huge development potential and a broad market C. customers are eager to use 5G smart phones instead of 4G onesD. its probable that 5G network rollout is speeding up in Britain49. What do we know about the text?A. Vodafone is successful in spreading the 5G service. B. Steph Houghton appeared as a hologram by 4G.C. The application of 5G will make life much easier. D. 5G phones are available in rural areas of the UK.50. Whats Prof Williams attitude towards 5G service, the new generation of mobile technology?A. Favorable. B. Negative. C. Indifferent. D. Objective.DMark Twain has been called the inventor of the American novel. And he surelydeserves additional praise: the man who popularized the clever literary attack on racism.I say clever because anti-slavery fiction had been the important part of the literature in the years before the Civil War. H.B. Stowes Uncle Toms Cabin is only the most famous example. These early stories dealt directly with slavery. With minor exception, Twain planned his attacks on slavery and prejudice into tales that were on the surface about something else entirely. He drew his readers into the argument by drawing them into the story.Again and again, in the postwar years, Mark Twain seemed forced to deal with the challenge of race. Consider the most controversial, at least today, of Twains novels, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Only a few books have been kicked off the shelves as often as Huckleberry Finn, Twains most widely read tale. Once upon a time, people hated the book because it struck them as rude. Twain himself wrote that those who banned the book considered the novel “trash and suitable only for the slums (贫民窟).” More recently the book has been attacked because of the character Jim, the escaped slave, and many occurrences of the word nigger. (The term Nigger Jim, for which the novel is often severely criticized, never appears in it)But the attacks were and are sillyand miss the point. The novel is strongly anti-slavery. Jims search through the slave states for the family from whom he has been forcibly parted is heroic. As J. Chadwick has pointed out, the character of Jim was a first in American fictiona recognition that the slave had two personalities, “the voice of survival within a white slave culture and the voice of the individual: Jim, the father and the man.”There is much more. Twains mystery novel Puddnhead Wilson stood as a challenge to the racial beliefs of even many of the liberals of his day. Written at a time when the accepted wisdom held Negroes to be inferior (低等的) to whites, especially in intelligence, Twains tale centered in part around two babiesswitched at birth. A slave gave birth to her masters baby and, for fear that the child should be sold South, switched him for the masters baby by his wife. The slaves light-skinned child was taken to be white and grew up with both the attitudes and the education of the slave-holding class. The masters wifes baby was taken for black and grew up with the attitudes and intonations of the slave.The point was difficult to miss: nurture (养育), not nature, was the key to socialstatus. The features of the black man that provided the stuff of prejudicemanner of speech, for example were, to Twain, indicative of nothing other than the conditioning that slavery forced on its victims.Twains racial tone was not perfect. One is left uneasy, for example, by thelengthy passage in his autobiography (自传) about how much he loved what were called “nigger shows” in his youthmostly with white men performing in black- faceand his delight in getting his mother to laugh at them. Yet there is no reason to think Twain saw the shows as representing reality. His frequent attacks on slavery and prejudice suggest his keen awareness that they did not.Was Twain a racist? Asking the question in the 21st century is as wise as asking the same of Lincoln. If we read the words and attitude
