    The Law to Keep the Oil Industry under Control

           The Norwegian Government is doing its best to keep the oil industry under control. A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline; production limits have been laid down (though these have already been raised); and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign workers. But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems, and few people believe that the Government will be able to hold things back for long. As on Norwegian politician said last week: “We will soon be changed beyond all recognition.”

           Ever since the war, the Government has been carrying out a programme of development in the area north of the Arctic Circle. During the past few years this programme has had a great deal of success: Tromso（特罗姆瑟[挪威北部港市]）has been built up into a local capital with a university, a large hospital and a healthy industry. But the oil industry has already started to draw people south, and within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins.

           The effects of the oil industry would not be limited to the north, however. With nearly 100 percent employment, everyone can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose more of their workers to the oil industry. Some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad.

           The real argument over oil is its threat to the Norwegian way of life. Farmers and fishermen do not make up most of the population, but they are an important part of it, because Norwegians see in them many of the qualities that they regard with pride as essentially Norwegian. And it is the farmers and the fishermen who are most critical of the oil industry because of the damage that it might cause to the countryside and to the sea.

    The Norwegian Government would prefer the oil industry to

    A provide more jobs for foreign workers.

    B slow down the rate of its development.

    C sell the oil it is producing abroad.

    D develop more quickly than at present.

    The Norwegian Government has tried to

    A encourage the oil companies to discover new oil sources.

    B prevent oil companies employing people from northern Norway.

    C help the oil companies solve many of their problems.

    D keep the oil industry to something near its present size.

    According to the passage, the oil industry might lead northern Norway to

    A the development of industry.

    B a growth in population.

    C the failure of the development programme.

    D the development of new towns.

    In the south, one effect to the development of the oil industry might be

    A a large reduction on unemployment.

    B a growth in the tourist industry.

    C a reduction in the number of existing industries.

    D the development of a number of service industries.

    Norwegian farmers and fishermen have an important influence because

    A they form such a large part of Norwegian ideal.

    B their lives and values represent the Norwegian ideal.

    C their work is so useful to the rest of Norwegian society.

    D they regard oil as a threat to the Norwegian way of life.

    Diana Jacobs thought her family had a workable plan to pay for college for her 21-year-old twin sons: a combination of savings, income, scholarships, and a modest amount of borrowing. Then her husband lost his job, and the plan fell apart.
    “I have two kids in college, and I want to say ‘come home,’ but at the same time I want to provide them with a good education,” says Jacobs.
    The Jacobs family did work out a solution: They asked and received more aid form the schools, and each son increased his borrowing to the maximum amount through the federal loan (贷款) program. They will each graduate with $20,000 of debt, but at least they will be able to finish school.
    With unemployment rising, financial aid administrators expect to hear more families like the Jacobs. More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are concerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.
    At the same time, tuition（学费）continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Student borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade,
    “If we go on this way for another 25years, we won’t have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college whatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”
    Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted.

    I visited the nearby car factory today with my uncle, who works there. One thing I noticed was that most of the work is now done by robots. Welding (焊接), painting, testing, and many other jobs are performed by robots now.

    The whole dashboard (仪表板) of the car is now put into the car from above, through the windshield, by a robot. It would have taken two men to do this in the past, and it would have hurt their backs quite a bit. It got me thinking: is it a good thing that robots are replacing factory workers? On one hand, robots generally do a more accurate job than people. They aren’t likely to make many mistakes, and if something goes wrong with one car, an alarm goes off. They do exactly the same thing, every time, without fail. A human worker is never able to do exactly the same thing every time. On the other hand, robots also reduce costs for companies. Companies don’t have to pay robots wages or injury compensation (补偿) if they’re broken. If something in a robot does go wrong, it won’t have to take time off work for a year, or even forever, as could happen to a real person if he breaks his back or burn himself while welding.

    The obvious downside to all of this is that it increases the unemployment rate. The company will have to bring in some very talented individuals who know how to operate the robots. Unlike regular factory workers, these intelligence workers usually demand a higher pay.

    1.We can learn from the first paragraph that _______.

    A．all the workers are replaced by robots now   B．robots do much of the work instead of workers now C．there were no workers in the car factory        D．the author’s uncle made robots in the factory

    2.According to the text robots _______.

    A．can do work as accurately as workers        B．never break down   C．can do exactly the same thing repeatedly  D．ask for less money from companies

    3.The underlined word "downside" in the last paragraph probably means "_______".

    A．weakness         B．favor             C．assistance         D．strength

    4.It can be inferred from the last paragraph that _______.

    A．companies refuse to pay for intelligence workers                 B．robots have helped all of the workers C．robots can help solve the problem of unemployment           D．using robots in factories widely will have a long way to go

    5.What is the author’s attitude towards using robots in factories?

    A．He is doubtful about it.                   B．He thinks it necessary. C．He is strongly against it.   D． The text doesn’t mention it.
