Happiness, wealth, home ownership are amo

18、ng the things that【 C3】 _as less important in peoples views of what the dream means. However people define it, they believe the American Dream is harder to achieve for this generation that it was for their parents generation. Sixty percent of those【 C4】_by Xavier University said that was their concl

22、mployers for Wider Web Access A Ryan Tracy thought hed entered the Dark Ages when he graduated college and arrived in the working world. His employer blocked access to Facebook, Gmail and other popular Internet sites. He had no wireless access for his laptop and often ran to a nearby cafe on work ti

23、me so he could use its Wi-Fi connection to send large files. Sure, the barriers did what his employer intended: They stopped him and his colleagues from using work time to mess about online. But Tracy says the rules also got in the way of reasonable work he needed to do as a scientific analyst for a

24、 health care services company. B “It was a constant battle between the people that saw technology as an advantage, and those that saw it as a hindrance,“ says the 27-year-old Chicagoan, who now works for a different company. He was sure there had to be a better way. Its a common complaint from young

25、 people who join the work force with the expectation that their bosses will embrace technology as much as they do. Then some discover that sites theyre supposed to be researching for work are blocked. Or they cant take a little down time to read a news story online or check their personal e-mail or

26、social networking accounts. In some cases, they end up using their own Internet-enabled smart phones to get to blocked sites, either for work or fun. C So some are wondering: Could companies take a different approach, without compromising security or workplace efficiency, that allows at least some o

27、f the online access that younger employees particularly long for? “Its no different than spending too much time around the water cooler or making too many personal phone calls. Do you take those away? No,“ says Gary Rudman, president of GTR Consulting, a market research firm that tracks the habits o

28、f young people. “These two worlds will continue to conflict until theres a mutual understanding that performance, not Internet usage, is what really matters.“ D This is, after all, a generation of young people known for what University of Toronto sociologist Barry Wellman calls “media multiplexity (

29、多重性 ).“ College students he has studied tell him how they sleep with their smart phones and, in some cases, consider their electronic tools to be like a part of their bodies. Theyre also less likely to fit the traditional 9-to-5 work mode and are willing to put in time after hours in exchange for fl

30、exibility, including online time. So, Wellman and others argue, why not embrace that working style when possible, rather than fight it? E There is, of course, another side of the story from employers who worry about everything from wasted time on the Internet to giving away secret information and li

31、ability for what their employees do online. Such concerns have to be taken especially seriously in such highly regulated fields as finance and health care, says Nancy Flynn, a corporate consultant who heads the Ohio-based ePolicy Institute. From a survey Flynn did this year with the American Managem

32、ent Association, she believes nearly half of U.S. employers have a policy banning visits to personal social networking or video sharing sites during work hours. Many also ban personal text messaging during working days. Flynn notes that the rising popularity of BlackBerrys, iPhones and other devices

33、 with Web access and messaging have made it much more difficult to enforce whats being done on work time, particularly on an employees personal phone. Or often the staff uses unapproved software applications to get around the blocks. F As a result, more employers are experimenting with opening acces

34、s. Thats what Joe Dwyer decided to do when he started Chicago-based Brill Street rice and dishes left over in the waste buckets. It is high time that such campus waste should be eliminated because we are living in a world with limited resources. And if we do not cherish things we have today, sooner

35、or later we will be short of them. To reduce waste on campus, we should all discipline ourselves: Turn off the lights when we leave the classroom; eat our meals up; dont waste water, etc. The world will become much more beautiful as long as we all do our bit. 【试题解析】 这是一篇看图作文。要求考生先简单描述图片内容,继而就 “减少校园浪

If Queensland sounds familiar, this same region was hit with severe flooding recently. This time, the disaster is Cyclone Yasi. Yasi coul

42、hat its a federal republic like the U.S. India is often called the worlds largest democracy. Indias population is also young. 5Its median age is 27 years old. In the U.S. that age is closer to 37. Its no wonder why so many Indians who are close to the voting age of 18 are realizing they have politic

43、al power. This is something that countrys politicians are noticing, too. Many young people are first time voters. 6Given that Indias youth makes up half of its billion plus population, how Indias young vote will determine the countrys future. They are obviously really frustrated with current politic

44、al situation in their country. The only government these youngsters have really known is the current Congress party Led One, which is in power for the last ten years. 7During that time, prices have risen sharply. The price of petrol is doubled. Some young people are going to vote for a different par
