yang hongwei takes the bus home from work, staring silently at the european-style villas(别墅), luxury cars and twinkling lights from the shopping center that he sees through the window.yang works for a software company in zhongguancun. he dreams of such a life, away from poverty, and that hope has kept him in beijing for three years since he graduated from university. soon yang squeezes his way off the bus to the reality of his life: his homea 10-square-metre room that costs 550 yuan(81 us dollars) or about one-fifth of his salary in rent every month. its very cold inside the house as it has no central heating system. he has to stand the long and cold winter. determined to achieve his dream, yang says he has changed jobs “numerous” times in the past three years and is considering quitting his present job. yangs frustration over his life as a migrant(移民) is shared by many other graduates that have moved into big cities. together they have come to be called the “ant tribe”, a term created by chinese sociologists to describe the struggles of young migrants, who, armed with their diplomas, flood to big cities in hopes of a better life only to put up with low-paying jobs and poor living conditions. they share every similarity with ants. they live in colonies in crowded areas. theyre intelligent and hardworking, yet unknown and underpaid. the term, sociologists have said, also reflects their helplessness in a world governed by the law of the concrete jungleonly the strongest survive.a survey in ant tribe found nearly 30 percent of the “ants” are graduates of famous key universitiesalmost three times the percentage of 2009. most have degrees in popular majors, such as medicine, engineering, economics and management. in addition, 7.2 percent of the “ants” have at least a masters degree compared to 1.6 percent in 2009. most said the economic recovery did not really improve their financial situations, and 66 percent said their incomes fell short of their expectations, the survey also found.for two years, lian si, a post-doctoral fellow at the center for chinese and global affairs of peking university, who has studied the phenomenon, led a team of more than 100 graduate students to follow the groups in university towns like beijing, shanghai, guangzhou, wuhan and xian. lian evaluates the total population of the “ant community” in major cities at one million across china, with about 100,000 found in beijing alone. lian predicts that an increasingly challenging job market will see the ant tribe growing further in number. another 6.3 million graduates are expected to join migrant workers and other job hunters in what promises to be a fierce labour competition.the ant tribes embarrassing living situations have become a serious social issue, and the government should develop “second-and-third-tier cities” to attract more graduates from big cities. however, “ants” expect more study and training opportunities in big cities, which keeps them in positive mindsets despite their situations. as in the case of yang, he is optimistic about getting a new job soon, having received eight interview offers in a week after sending out his resume. the prospect of landing a higher-paying job keeps him hopeful of moving out of the slum district(贫民区) soon. the sooner, the better. 50. yang has worked in beijing since graduation from university _.a. to live in a beautiful villa of european styleb. to have more opportunities to be promoted c. to enjoy a busy life in a software company d. to struggle for a better-off life in a big city51. which of the following best describes “ant tribe”?a. it refers to the group of low-income graduates living in embarrassing conditions.b. it refers to the people who work hard like ants but are paid little.c. it refers to the sociologists and scholars researching into some social phenomena.d. it refers to some well-educated people who cant survive in society.52. what can be learned from the survey about “ant tribe”? a. most of the “ants” are graduates who have high diplomas like masters degree. b. about 10 percent of the “ants” graduated from famous key universities in 2009. c. the total population of the “ant community” in beijing reaches about one million. d. about 66 percent of the “ants” are satisfied with their present financial situations.53. what does the writer think of the phenomenon of “ant tribe”? a. “ant tribe” has become too serious a social problem to solve. b. it is the governments duty to solve the problem of “ant tribe”. c. both the government and the graduates have the responsibility. d. the existence of “ant tribe” has little influence on job markets.54. the passage is mainly about _.a. the “ant tribes” dream and reality b. a recent survey about the “ant tribe”c. the “ant tribes” living conditions d. a new urban life style“ant tribe”dwith an open heart has been extremely important. fortunately, ive been blessed with a good teacher.my father, john frankenberg, was a doctor. he was devoted to his work and his patients. most weekends he had to be on call at the hospital, which was far from our home in wimbledon. he didnt want to be separated from
