28、s likely to get a first or upper second-class degree than other students, harming their career chances. Students from the poorest backgrounds were most likely to take jobs during term because they could not depend on help from their parents.The report, commissioned (委托) by the Department for Educati

31、f those who did not. Professor Elias said that the increase in school fees next year to 3,000 would have to be monitored (监控) carefully for its effect on poorer students. "Higher education is going to be a harder struggle for those who do not come with all the advantages," he said.He sugge

37、CThe twentieth century saw greater changes than any century before. Changes for the better, changes for the worse, changes that brought a lot of benefits to human beings, changes that put man in danger.

41、ction has created a real danger to the continued existence of the human race on this planet. We have seen this happen in the case of nuclear weapons. Although their actual use has so far occurred only in the Second World War, the number of nuclear weapons that were produced and made ready for use wa

42、s so large that if the weapons had actually been used, the result could have been the ruin of the human race, as well as of many kinds of animals.William Shakespeare said, “The web of our life is of a mingled yarn, good and ill together.” The above brief review the application of only one part of hu

46、 one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of correct answers. That question is “Whats your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct. Have you ever wondered about peoples names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?Peoples first names, or given na

47、mes, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents choose the name of a well-known person. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.Some people give their children names that mean goo

48、d things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near a brook (小溪); someone who was called

49、Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest. Other early surnames came from peoples occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very import

50、ant workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Cartera person who owned or drove a cart; Pottera person who made pots and pans.

52、l himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.
