Passage%20Two

Before%20the%201970s,%20college%20students%20were%20treated%20as%20children.%20So%20many%20colleges%20ran%20in%20loco%20parentis%20system.%20“In%20loco%20parentis”is%20a%20Latin%20term%20meaning%20“in%20the%20place%20of%20a%20parent.”%20It%20describes%20when%20someone%20else%20accepts%20responsibility%20to%20act%20in%20the%20interests%20of%20a%20child.

This%20idea%20developed%20long%20ago%20in%20British%20common%20law%20to%20define%20the%20responsibility%20of%20teachers%20toward%20their%20students.%20For%20years,%20American%20courts%20upheld%20in%20loco%20parentis%20in%20cases%20such%20as%20Gott%20versus%20Berea%20College%20in%201913.

Gott%20owned%20a%20restaurant%20off%20campus.%20Berea%20threatened%20to%20expel%20students%20who%20ate%20at%20places%20not%20owned%20by%20the%20school.%20The%20Kentucky%20high%20court%20decided%20that%20in%20loco%20parentis%20justified%20that%20rule.

In%20loco%20parentis%20meant%20that%20male%20and%20female%20college%20students%20usually%20had%20to%20live%20in%20separate%20buildings.%20Women%20had%20to%20be%20back%20at%20their%20dorms%20by%20ten%20or%20eleven%20on%20school%20nights.

But%20in%20the%201960s,%20students%20began%20to%20protest%20rules%20and%20restrictions%20like%20these.%20At%20the%20same%20time,%20courts%20began%20to%20support%20students%20who%20were%20being%20punished%20for%20political%20and%20social%20dissent.

In%201960,%20Alabama%20State%20College%20expelled%20six%20students%20who%20took%20part%20in%20a%20civil%20rights%20demonstration.%20They%20sued%20the%20school%20and%20won.%20After%20that%20it%20became%20harder%20and%20harder%20to%20defend%20in%20loco%20parentis.

At%20that%20time,%20students%20were%20not%20considered%20adults%20until%2021.%20Then,%20in%201971,%20the%2024th%20amendment%20to%20the%20Constitution%20set%20the%20voting%20age%20at%20eighteen.%20So%20in%20loco%20parentis%20no%20longer%20really%20applied.

Slowly,%20colleges%20began%20to%20treat%20students%20not%20as%20children,%20but%20as%20adults.%20Students%20came%20to%20be%20seen%20as%20consumers%20of%20educational%20services.

Gary%20Dickstein,%20an%20assistant%20vice%20president%20at%20Wright%20State%20University%20in%20Dayton,%20Ohio,%20says%20in%20loco%20parentis%20is%20not%20really%20gone.%20It%20just%20looks%20different.%20Today’s%20parents,%20he%20says,%20are%20often%20heavily%20involved%20in%20students’lives.%20They%20are%20known%20as%20“helicopter%20parents.”They%20always%20seem%20to%20hover%20over%20their%20children.%20Gary%20Dickstein%20says%20these%20parents%20are%20likely%20to%20question%20decisions,%20especially%20about%20safety%20issues%20and%20grades.%20They%20want%20to%20make%20sure%20their%20financial%20investment%20is%20not%20being%20wasted.

Passage%20Three

We%20tend%20to%20think%20of%20plants%20as%20the%20furniture%20of%20the%20natural%20word.%20They%20don’t%20move%20they%20don’t%20make%20sounds,%20they%20don’t%20seem%20to%20respond%20to%20anything%20–at%20least%20not%20very%20quickly.%20But%20as%20is%20often%20the%20case,%20our%20human%20view%20of%20the%20world%20misses%20quite%20a%20lot.%20Plants%20talk%20to%20each%20other%20all%20the%20time.%20And%20the%20language%20is%20chemical.

Over%20the%20years%20scientists%20have%20reported%20that%20different%20types%20of%20plants,%20from%20trees%20to%20tomatoes,%20release%20compounds%20into%20the%20air%20to%20help%20neighboring%20plants.%20These%20chemical%20warnings%20all%20have%20the%20same%20purpose—to%20spread%20information%20about%20one%20plant’s%20disease%20so%20other%20plants%20can%20defend%20themselves.%20But%20exactly%20how%20plants%20receive%20and%20act%20on%20many%20of%20these%20signals%20is%20still%20mysterious.

In%20this%20week’s%20Proceedings%20of%20the%20National%20Academy%20of%20Sciences,%20researchers%20in%20Japan%20offer%20some%20explanations.%20They%20have%20identified%20one%20chemical%20message%20and%20traced%20it%20all%20the%20way%20from%20release%20to%20action.

The%20scientists%20looked%20at%20tomato%20plants%20infested(损害)%20by%20common%20pest,%20the%20cutworm%20caterpillar(毛虫).%20To%20start%20out,%20they%20grew%20plants%20in%20two%20plastic%20compartments%20connected%20by%20a%20tube.%20One%20plant%20was%20infested%20and%20placed%20upwind%20and%20the%20others%20were%20uninfested%20and%20placed%20downwind.%20The%20downwind%20plants%20were%20later%20exposed%20to%20the%20cutworm%20caterpillar.%20The%20results%20showed%20that%20plants%20that%20had%20previously%20been%20near%20sick%20neighbors%20were%20able%20to%20defend%20themselves%20better%20against%20the%20caterpillar.

The%20researchers%20also%20studied%20leaves%20from%20exposed%20and%20unexposed%20plants.%20They%20found%20one%20compound%20showed%20up%20more%20often%20in%20the%20exposed%20plants.%20The%20substance%20is%20called%20Hex%20Vic.%20When%20the%20scientists%20fed%20Hex%20Vic%20to%20cutworms,%20it%20knocked%20down%20their%20survival%20rate%20by%2017%.%20The%20scientists%20identified%20the%20source%20of%20Hex%20Vic,%20and%20sprayed%20it%20lightly%20over%20healthy%20plants.%20Those%20plants%20were%20then%20able%20to%20start%20producing%20the%20caterpillar-killing%20Hex%20Vic.%20Researchers%20confirmed%20that%20uninfested%20plants%20have%20to%20build%20their%20own%20weapon%20to%20fight%20off%20bugs%20and%20diseases.%20How%20do%20they%20know%20when%20to%20play%20defense?%20They%20are%20warned%20first%20by%20their%20friendly%20plant%20neighbors.

It%20is%20a%20complex%20tale,%20and%20it%20may%20be%20happening%20in%20more%20plant%20species%20than%20tomatoes.%20It%20may%20also%20be%20happening%20with%20more%20chemical%20signals%20that%20are%20still%20unknown%20to%20us.%20For%20now%20though,%20we%20know%20that%20plants%20not%20only%20communicate,%20they%20look%20out%20for%20one%20another.

The%20diet%20soda%20slowdown%20isn’t%20merely%20an%20American%20thing-%20it’s%20also%20happening%20worldwide.%20But%20the%20future%20of%20diet%20colas%20is%20particularly%20cloudy%20in%20the%20United%20States.

Paper Two

(50minutes)

Part VI Translation (10 points)

Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese. Write your answer on the Answer Sheet.

Should work be placed among the cases of happiness or be regarded as a burden? Much work is exceedingly tiresome, and an excess of work causes stress and even disease. I think, however, that, provided work is not excessive in amount, even boring work is less harmful than idleness. We sometimes feel a little relief from work; at other tomes work gives us delight. These feeling arise according to the type of work we are doing and our ability to do that work. Work fills many hours of the day and removes the need to decide what one should do.
