I guess I always knew about the little fish treat, but this past summer it was all I could see. Pipin and Nemo were balancing on one front flipper(鳍), flying through hoops, dancing with the trainer, and we were all applauding — the little kids screaming with delight. That’s when the trainer, who wore a little treat bag on her belt, slipped Pipin and Nemo a fish. Each time they successfully performed a trick, they’d get an immediate reward.

These creatures weren’t really dancing, of course. They were performing a series of movements that they knew would produce a fish. It’s such a good show because the sea lions look like they’re having such fun. These talented performers who love to be in front of an audience seem almost human.

Somewhere in our faith journey, we all have a sea lion moment. You see how you’ve spent years jumping through hoops, balancing a ball on your nose, not because it’s really who you are, but because you’ve always done it and the system rewarded you for your performance. But when you’ve done that for ten or twenty years, you start to ask yourself, “Whose approval am I working for? What do I really believe?” Suddenly you see it: you’ve spent most all your life taking direction from other people. They’ve told you what to believe in, what to work for, what to value, how to live your life. You don’t want to end your life like Sinclair Lewis’s George Babbitt, the middle-aged real-estate broker(经纪人) who has everything and reached the top. But on the last page of Babbitt, George is speaking to his son Ted, who cannot follow in his father’s steps. He wants to leave college and head off on his own way. “Dad, I can’t stand it any more,” the boy says. “Maybe it’s all right for some fellows. Maybe I’ll want to go back some day, but now, I want to get into mechanics.” Babbitt, seeming old and subdued, says, “I’ve never done a single thing I’ve wanted to in my whole life!”

The Good-Bye Gate brings us naturally to a second passage, leading from dependency to self-possession. As you start separating from the whole worn-out system, you discover that where there is supposed to be a self, there really isn’t.

1.The sea lions were pleased to perform in front of the audience because they ____.

A. will be punished if it refuses it

B. wants to win the trainer’s favor

C. wants to get audiences’ applauses

D. can get food as a reward that way

2.While watching the sea lions’ performance, the author ____.

A. realized an important life philosophy

B. recalled the similar scene of last year

C. couldn’t help shouting and dancing

D. was happy to see them living freely

3.By saying “we all have a sea lion moment”, the author means that ____.

A. anyone can make it so long as they work hard

B. sometimes we don’t act following our own will

C. we can also get rewarded if we do something well

D. every human being also has his happy moment

4.What do you learn about George Babbitt?

A. He has been living a free life of his own.

B. His son ends up Babbitt family’s business.

C. He tends to agree to his son’s choice of life.

D. His son decides to follow his father’s steps.

5.Which can be the best title for this passage?

A. Challenge Yourself                B. Summer Vacation Fun

C. No Pains, No Gains                D. Now I Become Myself

We are going to talk again this week about higher education for disabled students who want to study in the United States．As we noted last time，there are no special colleges or universities for blind students．But there are for deaf students．One of them is Gallaudet University in Washington，D.C. Gallaudet is said to be the world’s only liberal arts university where everything is designed for deaf or hard-of-hearing students．About 2，000 students attend Gallaudet．The cost for international students is about 33,000 dollars a year．

Financial aid is available in the form of scholarships，but only after the first year of studies. Most scholarship aid goes to students in financial need who do well in their first year．One scholarship for international students is for deaf students from developing countries．Another is just for students from China．The university also offers an English Language Institute．But Gallaudet says this program does not guarantee (担保)acceptance to the university．

In the past year，students at Gallaudet protested against the administration’s choice of a new president for the university．The protests led to the choice of a different president who is more popular with the students，Robert Davila．He is a former officer of the National Technical Institute for the Deaf．This technical college is in Rochester, New York.  It is one of the eight colleges in the Rochester Institute of Technology．

More than one thousand students attend the National Technical Institute for the Deaf. About one hundred of them are international students．They come from Africa, Asia，Europe and South America.

The cost is about 28,000 dollars a year for an international Technical Institute student．Foreign graduate students pay about 20,000 dollars.  Both undergraduate and graduate student can receive limited financial aid. They can also take part in the student employment program．This program makes it possible for students to work at the school.

1. The passage is written for _______ .

2.The second paragraph mainly shows ________ .

3. Robert Davila is the president who __________ .

4.To those who study in Gallaudet，__________ .

This is the VOA Special English Education Report. A few weeks ago, we talked about the Test of English as a Foreign Language, or TOEFL. A listener in Cambodia named Thida asks if American colleges and universities also accept the IELTS exam. IELTS is the International English Language Testing System. It was developed by the University of Cambridge ESOL examiners.

Cambridge ESOL says the test measures true-to-life ability to communicate in English for education, immigration or employment. The IELTS tests listening, reading, writing and speaking skills. It uses a mixture of accents and spellings, including British English and American English.

The test is used by government agencies, schools and professional organizations in one hundred and twenty countries. And, yes, that includes the United States. The many American schools that accepted the IELTS can be found on the Web at felts.org.

Some schools accept both the TOEFL and the IELTS, but the graduate school at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, for example, says it prefers the IEITS.

The listening and speaking parts are the same for everyone who takes the IELTS, but people have a choice of reading and writing tests -- either academic or general training.

The listening test takes thirty minutes. There are forty questions based on a recording. The reading test takes sixty minutes. Students answer forty questions based on three written passages.

The writing test also takes sixty minutes. Students have to write two essays. One essay has to be at least one hundred and fifty words long and the other at least two hundred and fifty words. The shorter one is description of something; the longer one has to support and argument.

The speaking test takes less than fifteen minutes. The score is based on a recorded talk between the student and a test examiner.

And that's the VOA Special English Education Report, written by Nancy Steinbach. If you have a general question for our series, write to special@voanews.com. I'm Barbara Klein.
