12、best performances. It was also originally a nursery tale book written by Dr Seuss. Its the story of a green monster who wants to ruin Christmas but who in the end discovers the power of love and generosity. I promise its a great film with plenty of laughs along the way.Love Actually (2003)While this

13、 is not a personal favourite of mine, people in the UK absolutely love this film. It has many featuring actors and actresses. It might be a little difficult to follow as there are complex plots, so I recommend watching a translated version or enabling subtitles (字幕) in your native language. However,

14、 the heart-warming elements of the film make it worth watching.Home Alone (1990)This amusing masterwork is one of my favourite films of all time. It tells the story of a boy, Kevin, who is left alone in his house when his large family forgets to take him on vacation with them. While the families are

15、 away, burglars try to rob the house and Kevin must protect his home by setting traps. The trips, falls and traps will have you laughing out loud as you watch a 10-year-old boy beat two grown men.Miracle on 34th Street (192)You cant have Christmas in an English-speaking country without watching this

16、 movie. Its not funny like Home Alone or The Grinch, but it is incredibly touching. Its about a man who claims to be Santa, but nobody believes him except a lawyer and a little girl.

21、hen.But what I did suggest was that my father or sister should buy some baklava at a Greek Restaurant and I should do she same,and wouldnt it be fun to eat our baklava at exactly the same time and so,be together sharing the moment and the pleasure?Both parents loved the idea and we decided to do it.

22、It was lovely to hear a little happiness in her voice.Tow days later we both had our baklava and shared the experience.It meant a lot to my parents,and to me,to do this.My mother said she wants to do this again,maybe with another food or even baklava again!

40、bout what is next 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

41、of control and alternatives 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 educatio

42、n and is finishing 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 (usual

43、ly a teenager fresh 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 adop

44、t new models and which 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

45、 spring.The commissions 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

46、a place for lifelong 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

47、 alums (校友) and come 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 pl

48、an in which artificial 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 dis

49、tributed presence 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 w

50、hich the two worlds 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 station

51、s with services closer 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

52、 universities are 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

53、 its appeal.CTraditional higher education is not practical.DDeclining enrollment in college results from easy learning.2、What should traditional colleges do according to Alexander?AThey should provide new options for adults to enter colleges.BThe should strengthen the ties between secondary and post

54、secondary schools.CThey should abandon what they have and change their historical mission.DThey should offer more freedom to students throughout their life.3、What can we infer from the commissions report?AStudents can return for further study or make donations freely after graduation.BArtificial int
