30、s are schools of education and research but the main reason for their existence is not in the knowledge taught to the students or in the opportunities for the economic or social _50_ resulting from the research findings.The true function of a university is that it keeps the _51_ between knowledge an

31、d the real life. It unites the students with ordinary life in a _52_ way. The university passes on information, but it _53_ the information imaginatively. Imagination is the driving force for the societys future development. Students imagination is the very _54_ every university should protect and e

39、at fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A) I decided early in my college years that I wanted to experience living abroad before entering in the real world. During my senior year, while most of my friends were interviewing for “real world jobs, I was investi

40、gating how I could go work in a different country. At that early stage of my inquiry I was pretty open about where to go and what kind of work to undertake. My desire to live abroad was so strong that I was willing to do anything anywhere. Soon I learned about BUNAC, a program that seemed to be desi

41、gned precisely for student with such interests. BUNAC offers work visas ( 签证 ) for students or recent graduates to work overseas. Of the six countries available, I chose England because of the language and opportunities for employment. Two months after I graduated from college I went to Britain. I t

The BUNAC program is very well known in London and many employers participate in the program. As a result there are many employers in many different fields to cho

I accepted my first offer working for Merrill Lynch International Bank. The Merrill Lynch office I worked at was in a beautiful, old building located t

46、wo blocks from Buckingham Palace. The people were nice and the work interesting. It was easy to adjust to life in London. And there is so much to see that after six months exploring I probably covered only half of what I intended. 65. When the author studied at college she decided _.A. to enter the “real world after graduationB. to go and work in a foreign co
