The Philippines expects that some 110,000 South Korean students will travel to the country in 2007, mainly to attend English language lessons, the Philippines Daily Inquirer has reported.
Head of Philippine Department of Tourism Team Korea, Maricon Basco Ebron, made the assessment at the recently concluded Korea Student Fair 2007, which attracted 30,000 South Korean students, all seriously planning to study abroad. In that event alone, around 8,000 students were booked by 14 Philippine-based schools.
According to Ebron, the estimated figure was based on actual figures recorded by the Philippine Bureau of Immigration in the past. The number of students would account for about 15 to 17 percent of the total visitors expected from South Korean in 2007. “Yet, that percentage is quite conservative since it does not include students with alien resident visas or those young people being brought in by South Korean retirees and businessmen,” Ebron said.
While the Philippines is not a native English-speaking country, the cheaper cost of English-based education is a major plus for South Koreans. “Sending a child to the US for one year is equivalent to sending a child to the Philippines for two years---plus the mom,” Ebron said, referring to the fact South Korean parents could easily come the Philippines to check on their children.
Oh Hyun-Sook, who works with the Philippine tourism office in Seoul, estimated the cost of South Korean university education at $4,000 per semester, or roughly four times the tuition for the same period in a major university in Metro Manila.
Meanwhile, many South Koreans enroll in short-term English as Second Language courses or study for the TOFL in the Philippines as preparation for further education in another country. Younger students come in for language camps, typically two-month courses during their summer or winter break.
According to Oh Hyun-Sook, children as young as five years old are sent abroad, both “to study the English language and to experience a different culture”. “It?s a fact that when you have English language skills, you?re more competitive, whether you work in Seoul or abroad,” Oh Hyun-Sook added. 64. In 2007, about ________ South Korean visitors will travel to The Philippines.
A. 650,000 B. 110,000 C.30,000 D. 38,000 65. The passage mainly tells us that_____________.
A. the Philippines is the first choice for many South Koreans to study English abroad B. it costs South Koreans less money to study in the Philippines
C. South Korean students are welcome to study English in the Philippines D. studying English in the Philippines helps South Korean students a lot 66. This passage is probably taken from _________. A. an educational document B. a newspaper C. a government report D. a travel magazine

The teacher was leaving the village, and everybody seemed sorry. The miller at Cresscombe lent him the small cart and horse to carry his goods to Christminster, the city of his destination, such a vehicle proving of quite enough size for the teacher's belongings. For his only article, in addition to the packing-case of books, was a piano that he had bought when he thought of learning instrumental music. But the eagerness having faded he had never acquired any skill in playing, and the purchased article had been a
permanent trouble to him.
The headmaster had gone away for the day, being a man who disliked the sight of changes. He did not mean to return till the evening, when the new teacher would have arrived, and everything would be smooth again.
The blacksmith, the farm bailiff and the teacher were standing in confused attitudes in the sitting room before the instrument. The teacher had remarked that even if he got it into the cart he should not know what to do with it on his arrival at Christminster, since he was only going into a temporary place just at first.
A little boy of eleven, who had been assisting in the packing, joined the group of men, and said, ?Aunt has got a fuel-house, and it could be put there, perhaps, till you?ve found a place to settle in, sir.?
?Good idea,? said the blacksmith.
The smith and the bailiff started to see about the possibility of the suggested shelter, and the boy and the teacher were left standing alone.
?Sorry I am going, Jude?? asked the latter kindly.
Tears rose into the boy?s eyes. He admitted that he was sorry. ?So am I,? said Mr. Phillotson.
?Why do you go, sir?? asked the boy.
?Well—don't speak of this everywhere. You know what a university is, and a university degree? It is the necessary hallmark (标志) of a man who wants to do anything in teaching. My scheme, or dream, is to be a university graduate. By going to live at Christminster, I shall be at headquarters, so to speak, and if my scheme is practicable at all, I consider that being on the spot will afford me a better chance.?
The smith and his companion returned. Old Miss Fawley's fuel-house was practicable; and she seemed willing to give the instrument standing-room there. So it was left in the school till the evening, when more hands would be available for removing it; and the teacher gave a final glance round.
At nine o'clock Mr. Phillotson mounted beside his box of books, and waved his friends good-bye. 67. It seemed that the teacher _____.
A. was not getting on well with the headmaster B. had lived a rather simple life in the village
C. was likely to continue to practice playing the piano D. would get help in the city on arriving there
68. The motivation of the teacher?s moving lay in his _____. A. ambition B. devotion C. admiration D. inspiration 69. The boy named Jude may be described as _____. A. polite, generous and cheerful B. active, modest and friendly C. kind, bright and helpful D. calm, confident and humorous 70. In the passage the writer describes both the teacher?s _____. A. love for music and his dislike for musical instruments B. hard work in the village and his strong interest in city life C. friendship with some villagers and also conflicts with others D. eagerness to go to the city and his affection for the village

Blood Drive at Civic Center
The local university blood center had a blood drive today at the Civic Center auditorium(大礼堂). Almost 300 people showed up, but about 50 were turned away for various medical reasons. Fifty others left because the lines were moving so slowly. The event concluded at 6 pm, three hours after the scheduled close. It was a long day for everyone--administrators, nurses, and donors. But there were plenty of chairs and tables, and many people brought their own books, magazines, or newspapers.
The first thing the donors had to do, of course , was fill out the donor registration and screening form. When they finished filling out the form, they waited until a nurse called them to her desk. The average adult
body contains 8 to 12 pints of blood. Donors can give one pint at a time. It takes your body 2 to 4 weeks to replace this amount. Most donors filled up the pint bag within 5 to 10 minutes.
Before leaving, the donors received a sheet of instructions including: Do not lift any heavy objects for 12 hours. Leave your pressure bandage on for 2~3 hours. Do not smoke for at least 30 minutes. Avoid alcohol for the rest of the day. Do not do any laborious activity for 24 hours.
“I wish I could hug and kiss all the volunteers that are here today,” said Martha, the blood center donor recruiter. “Many donors underestimate the importance of what they?re doing. They think it is no big deal, but it is a big deal. Their blood is actually saving lives, helping other people to live, which will lead to a more harmonious society. We cannot thank them enough for that, nor can the recipients.” (71)__________ Number of people who donated blood The Civic Centre auditorium Approximately(72)___________ Reasons why part of the people present didn?t give ●(73)__________in the medical test blood ●Waiting too long Process ●Fill out the donor(74)________and screening form. ●wait for their turns to give blood ●Give blood (75)________ of blood one person gives (76)__________ for people who have given blood One pint at a time ●Don?t lift heavy things within 12 hours ●Leave the pressure bandage on for 2~3 hours ●(77)________smoking for not less than 30 minutes ●Don?t perform any laborious activity for a (78)_________day People?s(79)_________towards the blood drive (80)__________of donating blood Enthusiastic, positive and concerned ●Saving other people?s lives ●Contributing to a more harmonious society 第五部分： 书面表达(满分25分)
