university is just like other schools. it has an 80-acre campus. it has classrooms and teachers and more than 275,000 graduates. 56 . instead, they are mcdonalds restaurant owners and workers learning how to do their jobs better.hamburger university isnt a business school. its a corporate university (企业大学). 57_. as a result, the school teaches skills and methods that help improve efficiency in mcdonalds restaurants.hamburger university is one of the worlds most famous corporate universities, but it is far from unique. 58 .companies operate corporate universities for many different reasons. some improve the technical skills of employees. others focus on training people in management. still others help employees develop skills like learning to learn, creative thinking and problem solving. 59 . their students often come from distant places and have full-time jobs. to make training possible for students, corporate universities have to use very flexible teaching methods. some companies pay for their employees to attend specific classes at a local university. others work with outside educators to develop courses for employees to take at their workplaces. still others develop their own programs consisting of weekend and online courses.corporate universities may never compete with traditional schools. but they have changed the way many see education. training has always been difficult for busy employees. 60_. through them, continuing education is possible for many who, otherwise, wouldnt have the chance to study.a. corporate universities help by offering flexible programsb. corporate universities face a number of special problemsc. it exists to help the company mcdonalds meet its business goalsd. but hamburger university students dont attend to earn a degreee. many large companies, like ibm have their own successful corporate universitiesf. there are still few corporate universities in the us at presentg. hamburger university has grown to include many branch campusespassage bhe has climbed a high mountain, raced the 24-hour motorcycle track in france and even, walked from tokyo to kyoto, a distance of 500 km. now evolta, panasonics 7-inch humanoid robot is getting ready for his biggest challenge the ironman triathlon (铁人三项) championship in hawaii.to compete in this exhausting contest, the green & white robot which is small enough to fit on a human palm, will have to swim 2.4 miles in the rough ocean, bike 112 miles across the hot hawaiian desert and, run a full marathon distance of 26.2 miles in the painfully hot weather.given that he is so tiny and powered by rechargeable batteries (充电电池) of panasonic, he will be allowed some freedom in the way he competes. for one, he will be starting the race on october 23rd, 2011, three weeks following the real event and, while human competitors have at most 17 hours to complete the triathlon, evolta will be given 7 days, during which his only “breaks” will be to recharge his batteries.the biggest difference however, will be that unlike a single human body doing all three races, there will be three different “evolta” robot bodies competing each built for the specific race. evolta the swimmer will be equipped with special arms to swim forward. evolta the biker, will be on a little two-wheeler with training wheels, while evolta the runner, will be fixed on what looks like a wheel.in spite of all these advantages, the robots creator tomotaka takahashi believes that the race will be a huge challenge not only will evolta have to battle the wind and sun, but also, small road obstacles (障碍) that humans just step over. the water will be even worse thanks to the strong waves, tides and ocean winds. but if he does complete it, evolta will add another feather in his cap and just prove the already well-known fact that panasonics rechargeable evolta batteries are indeed the “worlds longest-lasting batteries”! 61. when competing in the triathlon, evolta _. a. will have three specially-built bodies for the competitionb. will be allowed to have a break from time to timec. will start three weeks earlier than other competitorsd. has to finish the competition in 17 hours62. by saying “evolta will add another feather in his cap”, the author means _.a. evolta will celebrate the victory with a feather capb. evolta will become very famous and attractivec. evolta will have another thing to be proud ofd. evolta will be awarded with another feather cap63. from the text, we can infer that evolta will take part in the competition to _.a. challenge human runners b. market panasonics batteriesc. prove the potential of robots d. show todays advanced technology64. the text is mainly about a robot _. a. using the energy-efficient batteries b. accomplishing a challenging triathlonc. competing in the ironman triathlon championshipd. winning human athletes for the first timepassage charry potters creator, j.k. rowling, announced that she will share a large

season, which is the most exciting time of the year for american high school students. the decisions made have to be unique to the girl who makes them.after all, its all about her own personal style, so seeing someone else with the same gown (长裙) at the prom could be devastating (灾难性的).emma carper, a senior at manatee high school in florida, didnt want to take any chances (心存侥幸). so her prom season began in december when she started shopping for the perfect dress.the 18-year-old trusts charlie kennedy of rusty cricketts coastal city cottage in bradenton, florida to help her find the perfect evening gown one that she wont see on any other girl at her prom.“ms kennedy is the safest way to go,” carper said.kennedy is known for going above and beyond, even providing her personal cell phone to her teenage customers. she says its not out of the ordinary for one of the girls to call her at 10 pm just to find out if a dress is still available.buying a dress from rusty cricketts can be competitive. the store offers what kennedy calls an “exclusive (独一无二的) dress offer”.“theyre spending a lot of money, and i want their dress to be special,” kennedy said.prom night indeed adds up: families figure (打算) to spend $1,139 (6,990 yuan) this year, according to a survey by visa and gfk, germanys largest market research institute (研究所).while teenagers might save money by sharing a limo (豪华轿车) or splitting (分担) dinner expenses
