Reading Comprehension (40 points)Section A Multiple Choice (30 points)Directions: In this section there are 3 reading passages followed by multiple-choice questions. Read the passages and then mark your answers on your answer sheets.Passage AIts time for change; thats a fact that all university managers know but most of them resist to admit. Relying merely on classical management strategies does not get us very far. Old-fashioned university managers have not yet been convinced to take the risk of applying change to their well-established university; but in the extremely competitive environment of this market, they have no other choice and sooner or later they need to believe in the necessity of change and utilizing modern models of higher education. However, an unjustified delay results in significant losses, as it is evident from continuous change in the position of some universities in the world university ranking upward or downward.This is indeed an unquestionable fact that modern university cannot be managed by traditional methods, as current students are different having new expectations, potentials, and needs. Roughly speaking, it is evident by comparing the current students with those of 80s who never experienced internet and globalization at this level. Those who have studied in 60s will remember that professors had more time for research and discussion about preliminary subjects, and PhD Students had a different position in the university environment. In fact, higher education has always been in the process of changing, but not necessarily in good direction. Since different parties are involved in university structure, their preferences sometimes caused unfavorable change; rather than effective change. Waiting for external forces inducing change to university is an example of Darwins natural selection (i. e. evolution); though intelligent evolution is something different. An outstanding leadership needs to foresee desirable change. People usually believe change should be limited in the. framework of available budget, but the art of leadership is to conduct change based on intellectual properties, creativity, and innovation; leading to several benefits including financial one. Effective change is transformative and sustainable implemented through a united leadership strategy according to the organizational general policy. Thus, change is not limited. , to modernization of traditional elements, but also reviving good traditional elements lost in time.This is a collection of ideas proposed by the author in a variety of programmes, research studies, and managerial reports associated with some important issues in the realms of modern university management. There are justified programmes for developing each case effectively (collected in a volume as a handbook for university leaders), though it is recommended to adapt each programme according to the university unique potentials and needs. In general, it is not aimed to alter the current (successful) plans, but creating new opportunities based on the university unused and hidden potentials.This collective paper aims to put emphasis on concepts like creativity, innovation, change, academic culture, networking, collaboration, knowledge, management, leadership, entrepreneurship, and so forth. These are just beautiful concepts, as everyone appreciates; but the problem is that few people apply-them seriously and practically.1.

S. high school students come in a dispiriting 26th out of 65. places worldwide in combined scores for math, science and reading tests.The OECDs Program for international Assessment (PISA) suggests that while America lags, Asia soars: Out of the top 10, eight are in the Asia-Pacific regionled by Shanghai and Hong Kong in China, Singapore, South Korea and Japan.The rise of education in Asia is no accident. It reflects deliberate policies and long-term investments that recognize the centrality of quality education to a nations economic growth.Studies on PISA data show that higher test scores in math and science are associated with higher growth rates that, in turn, lead to higher incomes. These countries understand, as former Singapore Prime Minister Goh Chok Tong has said: A nations wealth in the 21st century will depend on the capacity of its people to learn. There is no one Asian way to academic success, just as not all Asian nations are equally successful. Shanghai is the leading edge in China but disparities remain within the country.There are, however, common themes that permeate high-performing Asian school systems. These include: Emphasis on math and science. Math and science training begins early in primary school and rigorous courses such as biology, chemistry and physics, as well as algebra and geometry are part of a core curriculum for secondary school. Specialist teachers are often employed in elementary schools unlike generalists usually found in U. S. schools. Time and Effort. With longer school years and sometimes longer school days, Asian students often have the equivalent of several more years of schooling by the time they finish high school than the typical American student. Asian students are also expected to work hard in school, reflecting a societal belief that developing ones skills and knowledge reflects effort more than innate ability.Aligning education goals to economic development, Asian nations have built strong school systems by scouring the world - including the United Statesfor effective practices and weaving them together in ways that mesh with their cultural values.Recognizing the fast pace of change in the worlds economic and civic environment, their focus now is on developing teachers, principals and students who are expected to have a global outlook and be future ready. U. S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan has said: The simple truth is that America has a great deal to learn from the educational practices of other countries. Models of best practice exist all over the world, but are most noticeably increasing in Asia. And, its not a one-way street. Asian nations struggle with outmoded instructional practices and an over-reliance on high-pressure examinations - and they continue to look to America for clues in cultivating innovation in teaching and creativity in their students.The time has come for America to learn fromand with- Asia and the world.Our ability to compete and lead in a global economy may well depend on it.6.

Higher scores in math and scienceA. are a must for creativity.B. are a mark of innate ability.C. are a goal of generalist teachers.D. are associated with higher incomes.9.

America and Asia need to learn from each other.D. America should learn from all other countries in the world.10. A problem in Asian education may beA. lack of facilities.B. lack of innovation.C. lack of cultural values.D. lack of competent teacher.Passage CFinancial Services Authority chairman Lord Turner today defended its refusal to publish a report into what went wrong at Royal, Bank of Scotland and called for new rules that would hold bankers to a higher standard of conduct than typical boardroom bosses.While it has announced that the RBS investigation is closed, the regulator says it cannot provide further details because the Financial Services and Markets Act prevents it from doing so. The regulator, which is to be broken up by the coalition, is lobbying the government to ensure that its successor bodies have the powers to publish the findings of investigations, even if they conclude they cannot take any regulatory action.The FSA last week blamed bad decisions rather than. any dishonesty for the events that led to the 45bn taxpayer bailout of RBS, after commissioning PricewaterhouseCoopers to review the banks takeover of ABN Amro and cash call in 2008. Even so, a report has not been formally compiled by the FSA on which to base its decision not to take action against former directors including Sir Fred Goodwin.Turner said that while the RBS bosses made risky decisions, they were allowed by the rules of the time and applauded by much of the market.He added: They made judgments about the extent of information required to make sound decisions, which can certainly be questioned, but they did debate the issues. Tosome extent, therefore, they were doing what executives and boards in other sectors of the economy do: sometimes getting judgments right and sometimes wrong. But banking was different, he added, as banks were bailed out to avoid the collapse that might occur as a result of bad decisions at other companies. He suggested that rules, such as those in the US, demanding bankers forfeit two years pay if they were responsible for the banks collapse, could be introduced. Ba
