5、 50 years ago. So I phoned my father who contacted my grandfather to ask about his student life in the 1960s. I was told that student life then was very different: Universities in China were closed for quite a few years in the 1960s. Before they were closed in about 1967, student life was quite peac

6、eful and intellectual.,Warming Up,2. How do you think it has changed? I assume student life now is very different from the 1960s. The political movements are certainly not the focus of our university life. We all study hard and use the time well to equip ourselves with knowledge and skills to face t

7、he real life outside the university. Well, I would say a big change is that quite a lot of students would think about or actually engage in some entrepreneurial experiments (e.g. setting up a business on campus or online) while studying. This would have been unthinkable in the 1960s.,Warming Up,Watc

18、California Berkeley campus is located in northern California, just off the San Francisco Bay in the city of Berkeley, one of Americas most lively, culturally diverse, and politically progressive municipalities. I love living in the Bay area, especially in Berkeley. Theres lots to do, lots to eat. Yo

19、u can go out. You can go to musical performances. Its also really easy to get around because they have a great bus system, which students can use for free.,Warming Up,UC Berkeleys campus, also known as Cal, is a lush 1,232 acres, surrounded by wooded, rolling hills. Several campus buildings have vie

20、ws of the San Francisco Bay, and the campus grounds are adorned with streams, abundant trees, hills, and lawns. This is 4.0 Hill, and rumor has it that if you roll down this hill at the beginning of the semester and your professors see you, youll get straight As. Close to 35,000 students are enrolle

21、d at UC Berkeley. About 23,000 are undergraduates, and while most are Californians, every state and more than 100 foreign countries are represented on campus.

22、reaming of spending your four years at UC Berkeley? SAT or ACT scores are required, in addition to a minimum GPA of 3.0 for Californian residents and a 3.4 or higher for nonresidents. Ninety-four percent of first-time freshmen students at UC Berkeley hold a GPA of 3.75 or higher. Whats important to

23、us is that students are well-rounded, that students have done something with their lives outside of the classroom that is meaningful, that has made a difference, that shows leadership, community service, and a passion toward mankind. Yearly fees at UC Berkeley are just under $9,000 for all students.

24、 In addition, nonresidents pay around $21,000 in tuition, bringing their total to about $29,000.Room and board on campus runs close to $14,000, plus additional fees for selected residence halls. Over 85% of our students are on some form of financial aid. Over a third of our students are on some form

25、 of Pell Grant,because over a third of our students have incomes of less than $40,000 a year.,Warming Up,UC Berkeley has more than 1,900 highly acclaimed faculty members, and many, including Nobel Laureates and Pulitzer Prize winners, have received the top honors in their field. In 1941, right here

26、on campus, two Berkeley professors discovered plutonium and nine of the elements, including Berkelium in California. With so many bright minds, the universitys motto,Fiat Lux, or “Let there be light,” is totally fitting. Berkeleys Cal Bear teams are a member of the Division I Pac-Ten conference. The

27、 University also offers a full range of mens and womens intercollegiate sports.One of my favorite cheers is one we do with the alumni, because all the students sit together and then all the alumni sit together across the stadium from each other.,Warming Up,So the students will start chanting, “Go!”A

28、nd the alumni will chant back, “Bears!”And so by the end of the cheer, the entire stadium is echoing with this, “Go Bears!”And its just a really great feeling of community and spirit. You have a wide variety of housing choices at Berkeley. If youre a new student, youre guaranteed space if you meet t

29、he application deadline. And students that live in one of the theme houses get the best of residential living combined with a particular academic or cultural focus.,Warming Up,Berkeley students are taught to look at the world as how it ought to be instead of how it is or how it was. If you wanted to

30、 look up one word that defines what it is to be a Berkeley alum or to be a Berkeley student or to be a Berkeley faculty, it is the passion. Did you know that UC Berkeley is the only school in the country to have produced more than 3,000 Peace Corps volunteers since the organization began in 1961?So

31、if youre planning to help build a better future and need the tool set to make it happen, UC Berkeleys got your name. Thanks for checking Berkeley out with us. Im Levon. And Im Chloe from University TV, and well see you soon. Go Bears!,Warming Up,Text,College just isnt special any more,College just i

32、snt special any more 1 “If you can remember anything about the 1960s, you werent really there,” so the saying goes. It may be true for those who spent their college years in a haze of marijuana smoke. But there is one thing everyone remembers about the 1960s: Going to college was the most exciting a

33、nd stimulating experience of your life.,Text,2 In the 1960s, Californias colleges and universities had transformed the state into the worlds seventh largest economy. However, Berkeley, the University of Californias main campus, was also well-known for its student demonstrations and strikes, and its

34、atmosphere of political radicalism. When Ronald Reagan ran for office as governor of California in 1966, he asked if Californians would allow “a great university to be brought to its knees by a noisy, dissident minority”. The liberals replied that it was the ability to tolerate noisy, dissident mino

35、rities which made universities great.,Text,Text,3 On university campuses in Europe, mass socialist or communist movements gave rise to increasingly violent clashes between the establishment and the college students, with their new and passionate commitment to freedom and justice. Much of the protest

36、 was about the Vietnam War. But in France, the students of the Sorbonne in Paris managed to form an alliance with the trade unions and to launch a general strike, which ultimately brought about the resignation of President de Gaulle.,4 It wasnt just the activism that characterized student life in th

37、e 1960s. Everywhere, going to college meant your first taste of real freedom, of late nights in the dorm or in the Junior Common Room, discussing the meaning of life. You used to have to go to college to read your first forbidden book, see your first indie film, or find someone who shared your passi

38、on for Jimi Hendrix or Lenny Bruce. It was a moment of unimaginable freedom, the most liberating in your life.,Text,5 But wheres the passion today? Whats the matter with college? These days political, social and creative awakening seems to happen not because of college, but in spite of it. Of course

39、, its true that higher education is still important. For example, in the UK, Prime Minister Blair was close to achieving his aim of getting 50 per cent of all under thirties into college by 2010 (even though a cynic would say that this was to keep them off the unemployment statistics). Yet college e

40、ducation is no longer a topic of great national importance. Today, college is seen as a kind of small town from which people are keen to escape. Some people drop out, but the most apathetic stay the course because its too much effort to leave.,Text,6 Instead of the heady atmosphere of freedom which

41、students in the 1960s discovered, students today are much more serious. The British Council has recently done research into the factors which help international students decide where to study. In descending order these are: quality of courses, employment prospects, affordability, personal security i

42、ssues, lifestyle, and accessibility. College has become a means to an end, an opportunity to increase ones chances on the employment market, and not an end in itself, which gives you the chance to imagine, just for a short while, that you can change the world.,Text,7 The gap between childhood and co

43、llege has shrunk, and so has the gap between college and the real world. One of the reasons may be financial. In an uncertain world, many children rely on their parents support much longer than they used to. Students leaving university in the 21st century simply cannot afford to set up their own hom

44、e because its too expensive.,Text,Another possible reason is the communications revolution. Gone are the days when a son or daughter rang home once or twice a term. Today students are umbilically linked to their parents by their cell phones. And as for finding like-minded friends to share a passion

45、for obscure literature or music, well, we have the Internet and chat rooms to help us do that.,Text,8 “Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive, But to be young was very heaven!” 9 Wordsworth may have written these lines about the French Revolution, but they were also true for the students of the 1960s

46、. So why arent they true for the students of today?,Text,Text,大学已经不再特别了 1 有这么一种说法：“要是你能记得20世纪60年代的任何事情，你就没有真正经历过那段岁月。”对于在大麻烟雾中度过大学时光的那些人，这话可能是真的。但是，20世纪60年有一件事人人都记得，那就是：上大学是你一生中最激动人心、最刺激的经历。,Text,2 20世纪60年代，加州的高校把本州变成了世界第七大经济实体。然而，加州大学的主校园伯克利分校也以学生示威、罢课以及激进的政治氛围而著名。1966年，罗纳德里根竞选加州州长，问加州是否允许“一所伟大的大学被

47、喧闹的、唱反调的少数人征服。”自由派人士回答说，大学之所以伟大正是因为它们有能力容忍喧闹的、唱反调的少数人。,Text,3 在欧洲的大学校园里，大学生以新的姿态和激情投入到争取自由和正义的事业中去，大规模的社会主义或共产主义运动引发了他们与当权者之间日益升级的暴力冲突。许多抗议是针对越南战争的。可是在法国，巴黎大学的学生与工会联盟，发动了一场大罢工，最终导致戴高乐总统辞职。,Text,4 20 世纪60年代大学生活的特点并不仅仅是激进的行动。不论在什么地方，上大学都意味着你初次品尝真正自由的滋味，初次品尝深更半夜在宿舍或学生活动室里讨论人生意义的滋味。你往往得上了大学才能阅读你的第一本禁书，看

48、你的第一部独立影人电影，或者找到和你一样痴迷吉米亨德里克斯或兰尼布鲁斯的志同道合者。那是一段难以想象的自由时光，你一生中最无拘无束的时光。,Text,5 可如今那份激情哪儿去了？大学怎么了？现在，政治、社会和创造意识的觉醒似乎不是凭借大学的助力，而是冲破其阻力才发生的。当然，一点不假，高等教育仍然重要。例如，在英国，布莱尔首相几乎实现了到2010年让50的30岁以下的人上大学的目标（即使愤世嫉俗的人会说，这是要把他们排除在失业统计数据之外）。不过，大学教育已不再是全民重视的话题了。如今，大学被视为人们急于逃离的一种小城镇。有些人辍学，但大多数已经有些麻木，还是坚持混到毕业，因为离开学校实在是太

49、费事了。,Text,6 没有了20世纪60年代大学生所发现的令人头脑发热的自由气氛，如今的大学生要严肃得多。英国文化协会最近做了一项调查，研究外国留学生在决定上哪所大学时所考虑的因素。这些因素从高到低依次是：课程质量、就业前景、学费负担、人身安全问题、生活方式，以及各种便利。大学已变成实现目的的手段，是在就业市场上增加就业几率的一个机会，上大学本身不再是目的，不再是给你提供一个机会，让你暂时想象一下：你能够改变世界。,Text,7 童年与大学之间的距离已缩小了，大学与现实世界之间的距离也缩小了。其中的一个原因可能和经济有关。在一个没有保障的世界里，现在的许多孩子依赖父母资助的时间比以前的孩子更

50、长。21世纪的学生大学毕业后根本无法自立门户，因为那太昂贵了。,Text,另一个可能的原因是通讯革命。儿子或女儿每学期往家里打一两回电话的日子一去不复返了。如今，大学生通过手机与父母保持着脐带式联系。至于寻找痴迷无名文学或音乐的同道好友，没问题，我们有互联网和聊天室来帮助我们做到这一点。,Text,8 “幸福啊，活在那个黎明之中， 年轻更是如进天堂！” 9 华兹华斯的诗句说的可能是法国大革命，但是对于20世纪60年代的大学生而言，这样的诗句同样真实生动。可是为什么对于如今的大学生来说，它们就不真实了呢？,haze,marijuana,stimulating,economy,campus,cla

57、 to the Republican Party in 1962.
