Preparing for the Next Job Market

The latest spike in the unemployment rate is being felt across the board ?in 98 percent of metropolitan areas, in high-wage and low-wage jobs, among young and old, women and men, but especially men．

This landscape means that young Americans who are trying to plan their futures right now have some hard choices．Do they go to college and take on debt without hope of getting a job? And what about high school students? Do they have any chance of securing a job without a college degree? Perhaps the education system needs to react to this rapidly moving economic crisis．

In our current economic collapse, the connection between education and employment could not be more different than it was during the Depression．Education must now hold center stage, not because of an enemy abroad but because of the global economy．The jobs of the future will demand levels of education, particularly skills in mathematics, technology and science, which exceed those now taught in high school．

A healthy society should strive for full employment．In our times, that goal cannot be realized, or even approximated by creating jobs for the unskilled．The long-term prospect for economic recovery depends on the extent to which we improve our educational system．And this is where America is now at its weakest．

C．We should limit access to four-year colleges．

D．We ought to recruit more private school teachers and train them better．

3.What does the word "collapse" in the third paragraph mean?

A．success       B．failure        C． development  D．booming

4.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．Young Americans planning their futures have difficult choices．

B．Education must hold center stage due to the global economy．

C．The best university system benefits a majority．

D．A health society should struggle for full employment．

In Shanghai's Grand Theater, a fashionable, mainly young audience applauds enthusiastically as Guo Yong takes center stage．He holds a large bushy tree branch with leaves．Blowing on one of the leaves, he produces a sound like the singing of birds as he plays a traditional Buyi folk song．Some other musicians are also playing the traditional instruments from various ethnic groups in China．

It's the first time such music has ever been performed in the Grand Theater．But all this is the efforts of Zhu Zheqin, a Cantonese­born singer, who has made it her mission to help preserve China's traditional ethnic music．

In 2009, after being appointed a United Nations Development Program ambassador, Zhu traveled through some of China's remotest regions in an attempt to document the traditional music of various minority groups．In the course of the four­month trip, she recorded more than a thousand songs．But she noticed that many of the best musicians were old, and some of the music was at risk of dying out．

“I was shocked by the beauty of what I heard—it was so good，” she says．“But it needed support．I hope to let people see the beauty of these things in the contemporary times．”

So Zhu decided to introduce some of the musicians to a wider audience．By doing this, she hopes to rekindle(点燃) the interest of the younger generation．“Young people don't like this music much; they prefer pop music and love songs．They think these songs are something their grandma sings．This kind of repackaging gives young people a new door into their heritage．”

Zhu believes China needs to look again at its own roots．“China today is basically all Western art; in our conservatories (音乐学院) Western classical music is the top，” she says．“For China to really contribute to the world, we need to go on our own path．So what can represent China today？” The answer, she suggests, is to move from “made in China” to “created in China”．

1.From the first paragraph, we learn that________．

A． the audience are all young people

B． Guo Yong is playing the Buyi folk music

C． Guo Yong is the only minority performer in China

D． tree branches make good musical instruments

D． She's created all the music for the Grand Theater．

3.What is Zhu Zheqin's idea about Chinese traditional music?

A． It is completely out of date．
