The Carnegie Foundation report says that many colleges have tried to be "all things to all people". In doing so, they have increasingly catered to a narrow-minded careerism while failing to cultivate a global vision among their students. The current crisis, it contends, does not derive from a legitimate desire to put learning to productive ends. The problem is that in too many academic fields, the work has no context; skills, rather than being means, have become ends. Students are offered a variety of options and allowed to pick their way to a degree. In short, driven by careerism, "the national colleges and universities are more successful in providing credentials than in providing a quality education for their students." The report concludes that the special challenge confronting the undergraduate college is one of shaping an "integrated core" of common learning. Such a core would introduce students "to essential knowledge, to connections across the disciplines, and in the end, to application of knowledge to life beyond the campus".
Although the key to a good college is a high-quality faculty, the Carnegie study found that most colleges do very little to encourage good teaching. In fact, they do much to undermine it. As one professor observed: "Teaching is important, we are told, and yet faculty know that research and publication matter most." Not surprisingly, over the last twenty years colleges and universities have failed to graduate half of their four-year degree candidates. Faculty members who dedicate themselves to teaching soon discover that they will not be granted tenure, promotion, or substantial salary increases. Yet 70 percent of all faculty say their interests lie among more in teaching than in research. Additionally, a frequent complaint among young scholars is that "There is pressure to publish, although there is virtually no interest among administrators or colleagues in the content of the publications."
When a college tries to be "all things to all people" (Para. 1), it aims to ______.
A．satisfy the needs of all kinds of students simultaneously
B．focus on training students in various skills
C．encourage students to take as many courses as possible
D．make learning serve academic rather than productive ends
A．projection
B．retained
C．retailed
D．revitalized
M: Hi. I'm calling about the new subsidized low-cost housing for graduate students.
W: Are you aware that it's only available to married graduate students and their families？
M: Yes. I think my wife and I may qualify since she's still in graduate school. But I was wondering whether there were any other requirements.
W: Well, unless you have more than one child, you have to have a combined annual income that's less than 15,000 dollars.
M: I'm working as a part-time research assistant so that's no problem. But right now we're living with my wife's parents. Does that mean we have to include their income too？
W: Not necessarily. Why don't you stop by our office so I can give you some forms to fill out and explain everything in more detail？
M: That sounds like a good idea. Would tomorrow morning be all right？
W: The afternoon might be better. It can be pretty crazy around here on a Friday morning.
M: All right then. I'll try to make it in the afternoon. Is there anyone special I should ask for？
W: You can ask for me, Susan Davidson. Or my assistant Bill Brown.
Why does the man call the woman？
A．To make an appointment to look at a house.
B．To get information about special housing.
C．To ask about getting a loan to buy a house.

听力原文： Harriet Beecher Stowe is best known for her novel Uncle Tom's Cabin, a book that details the harshness of plantation life in the south. The book was extremely popular in the United States as well as in other countries. Ironically though, for the attention given to Uncle Tom's Cabin, it is far from Stowe's best work. In fact, Stowe's best writing is about village life in the New England states in the 19th century. In recording the customs of the villages she wrote about, Stowe claimed that her purpose was to reflect the images as realistically as possible. She usually succeeded, for her settings were often described factually and in detail. In this sense, she was an important forerunner to the realistic movement that became popular later in the 19th century. She was one of the first writers to use local dialect for her characters when they spoke. And she did this thirty years before Mark Twain popularized the use of local dialect. She was born in Connecticut and as a young woman there, she worked as a teacher. The teaching job helped lead to her first published work, a geography book for children.
What does the speaker say about the novel Uncle Tom's Cabin？
A．It doesn't include the use of dialect.
B．It is considered Stowe's best written work.
C．It was not published in the nineteenth century.
D．It was Stowe's most popular work.
A．A text-book.
B．Some paintbrushes.
C．A bouquet of flowers.
D．Some drawings.
