A

Bob Dylan is one of America’s greatest songwriters. Now he has written a book about his life that critics have praised. Bob Dylan’s book, “Chronicles: Volume One,” was published in October. It has been among the best-selling books in America. The New York Times newspaper named it one of the five best non-fiction or true- life books in 2004. And recently, the National Book Critics Circle named it one of the five finalists for best biography or autobiography of last year.

Bob Dylan grew up in the small town of Hibbing, Minnesota. As a young man, in 1961, he moved to New York City with his guitar. He wanted to become a folk singer and musician. In his book, he writes about his experiences playing and singing other people’s songs in clubs in the Greenwich Village area. He writes about many artists, writers and musicians who influenced him.

The main influence on him was the great folk singer Woody Guthrie. Guthrie was living in a hospital in New Jersey because he had a serious disease. Dylan visited him often and played Guthrie’s songs to him. Later, Dylan became extremely famous for the songs he wrote. The media called him the “voice of a generation.”

Bob Dylan writes that his wife and five children were the most important part of his life. He describes trying to find privacy for his family at his home in Woodstock, a town in New York State. But people from all over the country came to visit him and destroyed his peace.

Dylan also writes about spending time in New Orleans, Louisiana, while recording the album “Oh Mercy” in 1980. He writes about the process of recording the album. And he writes about the friendly people he met in Louisiana. One was a store owner named Sun Pie, who even gave Dylan a sign for his car that said “World’s Greatest Grandpa.”

Critics have compared Bob Dylan’s book “Chronicles” to one of his songs. They say it brings to life images, faces and places. They say the book forms layers of meaning through rich details. “A song is like a dream,” Dylan writes, “and you try to make it come true.”

C

Determined to make school more related to the workplace, Roosevelt High School in Portland, Oregon, developed a school-to-work program. In their first year, students are offered some job pathways in natural resources, human services, health care, business, arts and communication. The following year, each student chooses one of the pathways and examines it in depth, spending three hours a week watching someone on the job. Such a program is also in practice in some other states.

The school-to-work program is built around a partnership. For example, Eastman Kodak, a major employer in Colorado, introduces students to business by helping them construct a model city using small pieces of wood. “The children use the models to decide on the best place to set up schools,” says Lucille Mantelli, director for Eastman Kodak in Colorado. Kodak introduces math by teaching fifth graders to use their pocket money properly. They also provide one-on-one job watching experiences and offer chances of practice for high school juniors and seniors. “Students come to the workplace two or three hours a week,” explains Mantelli. “They do the job for us. We pay them and they get school credits (学分). We also give them our views on their performance and developmental opportunities.”

In these partnerships, everybody wins. The students tend to take more difficult courses than students in schools that don’t offer such programs. Business benefits by having a better prepared workforce needed in future years. “It’s a way for us to work with the school systems to develop the type of workforce we’ll need in future years,” Mantelli continued. “We need employees who understand the basics of reading and writing. We need them to be good at math and to be comfortable working on a team.”

“Our theory is that they can learn as much outside the classroom as in. All students have the ability to change the world, not just to live in it. To do that, they have to know how to solve problems and use critical thinking skills. We need to encourage them to dream about jobs that go beyond what they see today,” concludes a school-to-work program organizer.

49. Using the example of Eastman Kodak in Colorado, the writer shows us ____.

   A. what the school decides to do              

   B. why the students get paid for their jobs

   C. where the students have their math class  

   D. what role the business plays in the program

50. The main purpose of the school-to-work program is to _____.

   A. offer students more difficult courses        

B. introduce new job opportunities to schools

   C. improve relations between students and teachers 

D. make what students learn in school related to the workplace

51. According to the text, Lucille Mantelli is ____.

   A. a math teacher                                       

   B. a school designer

   C. a company manager                               

   D. a program organizer

52. What does the writer mean by saying “…everybody wins.” (Paragraph 3)?

   A. Students get school credits by taking examinations.

   B. Both students and business benefit from the program.

   C. The working conditions of the company have improved greatly.

   D. Every teacher and student gets paid for working outside the school.
