    Money Matters for Students
    GETTING A GRANT(补助)
    Who pays?
    The local education authority (LEA) for the area in which the student is living.
    Who can get this money?
    Anyone who gets a place on a first degree course，although a student who has already attended a course of advanced further education may not.Students must also have been resident in the UK for at least three years，which can exclude (排除) some students from overseas. SPECIAL CASES
    If a student has worked before going to college：
    A student who is 26 or more before the course starts and who has worked for at least three of the previous six years will get extra money—￡ 155 a year if 26，increasing to a maximum of ￡ 615 at 29 or more.
    If a student is handicapped：
    LEAs will give up to ￡ 500 to help meet extra expenses—such as buying a tape recorder for a blind student，extra heating or special food.
    Banking：
    Most of the big banks offer special services to students who open accounts (in the hope that they will stay with the bank when they become rich officials)．A student won't usually have to pay bank charges as long as the account stays in credit.Some banks allow students to overdraw by ￡ 100 or so，and still don't make charges (though they  do charge interest)．

    Education has an important effect on the mind or physical ability of an individual. It is the process by which society passes its accumulated knowledge, skills, and values from one generation to another.
    Various non-traditional education options are now available and continue to flourish（繁荣）. One of the most important uses in education is the use of technology. Teachers are encouraged to use new technological devices in order to strengthen learning among students and meet the needs of various types of learners.
    The right to education has been created and recognized by jurisdiction（司法）. Education is the most important concern of the government of India. Recently India has gained world recognition because many students from foreign countries come here to gain higher qualifications.
    One has to be educated in order to speed up the growth process in order to influence the economy. Education is indeed a powerful weapon to stop the cut- throat competition that man faces at every period of life. The importance of education in India is progressing with time. Although India has been a great foundation of learning for many years, it still needs to improve not just on the quality of education but also on the number of people being educated.
    Education is not just for academic success but also to make a person become a better human being and a better performer in life. Education makes the students able enough, so that they can compete nationally and internationally. To make a student a successful survivor in life, the responsibility lies equally with the schools and the parents too. Selecting a good school is as important as choosing a suitable career option for a child. The goal of education is the advancement of knowledge and the dissemination of truth, it is education that gives us all the power and necessities of making a difference in any field.
    People who are not educated have few opportunities to do what they want to do. Educated people become more responsible and informed citizens, and have a voice in politics and society. It allows people to be more productive by encouraging them to play responsible roles in terms of contributing to society.
    【小题1】Nowadays teachers are encouraged to ______.

    BLOOD DRIVE ＆ MARROW（骨髓）REGISTRATION
    “These patients deserve a chance at a normal, happy future and they rely on the kindness of the strangers to make that happen.
    — Daisy, Isabelle’s Mother

    Isabelle is the daughter of Daisy and Saman Mirzaei. In January 2008 Isabelle was diagnosed（诊断）with a genetic blood disorder，beta thalassemia. Isabelle’s body
    is unable to produce healthy red blood cells. As a result, Isabelle has been receiving blood transfusions (输血) every 4-6weeks since she was 11 months old. A lifetime of regular transfusions can lead to serious medical problems. Her only chance at a normal, healthy life is to have a marrow transplant.  Isabelle is an only child, so doctors have started a search for an unrelated marrow donor through The Match Registry. The Mirzaei family asks that you consider helping patients like Isabelle by registering to be a marrow donor and give the gift of life, the gift of blood.

    Mattel Inc. is recalling 4.4 million Polly Pocket toys with magnets（磁铁）after some of them caused serious injuries to children who swallowed magnets that fell off.
    Tiny magnets inside the toys may fall off without being noticed by parents and babysitters. The magnets can be swallowed or placed in children’s noses or ears. When more than one magnet is swallowed, the magnets can attract each other and cause intestine perforation（肠内穿孔）which can be deadly.
    The Consumer Product Safety Commission（CPSC）received 170 reports of the small magnets coming out of these recalled toys. There were three reports of serious injuries to children who swallowed more than one magnet. All three suffered intestinal perforations that required operation. A 2-year-old child stayed in hospital for seven days and a 7-year-old child was hospitalized for 12 days. An 8-yeal-old child was also hospitalized.
    The recalled Polly Pocket toys contain plastic dolls and accessories（附件）that have small magnets. The magnets measure one-eighth inch in diameter and are fixed in the hands and feet of some dolls, and even in the plastic clothing, hairpieces and other accessories to help the pieces stay on the doll or the doll’s house.
    The model number is printed on the bottom of the largest pieces on some of the toys. Contact Mattel if you cannot find a model number on your product to determine if it is part of the recall. Polly Pocket magnetic toys currently sold in stores are not included in this recall. The model numbers included in the recall are: B2632, B3158, B3201, B7118, G8605, H1537, H1538 and H3211. The toys were on sales in department stores and toy stores from May 2006 through September 2009 for between $15 and $30.
    Consumers should immediately take these recalled toys away from children and contact Mattel for the return of the toys. For more information contact Mattel at 888 597-6597 anytime or visit the company’s Web site.
    【小题1】The main purpose of the passage is       .

    A．to criticize Mattel Inc. for their bad products
    B．to inform readers of Polly Pocket toys recall
    C．to warn readers the danger of swallowing magnets
    D．to suggest some ways to return Polly Pocket toys
    【小题2】What did the writer use to show the danger of the problem toys?
    a. figures         b. quotes（引言）   c. serious cases
    d. description of possible injuries        e. description of operation scenes
    A．abc B．abd C．acd D．ace
    【小题3】The word “recalling” in the first paragraph can be best explained as        .
    A．taking back B．destroying C．giving up D．examining
    【小题4】All of the following points are covered in the story EXCEPT        .
    A．the danger of small magnets
    B．the ways of returning Polly Pocket toys
    C．the methods of recognizing a recalled Polly Pocket toys
    D．the apology made by Mattel Inc.
