4、ask 2: Work in pairs and discuss the two questions. 1. What do you think student life was like in the 1960s? 2. How do you think it has changed?,Warming Up,Task 2 Work in pairs and discuss the two questions. 1. What do you think student life was like in the 1960s? Well, student life in the 1960s was

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

17、 Passion.,Warming Up,Scripts Hey, Im Chloe. And Im Levon. Were at University of California Berkeley, the flagship of the ten campus University of California system. And one of the worlds leading academic institutions. They produce more PhDs than any other university in the country.The University of

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. There is no single ethnic majority here. Fifty-four percent of undergraduates are women, while 55% of graduate students are men.,Warming Up,D

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,大學(xué)已經(jīng)不再特別了 1 有這么一種說法：“要是你能記得20世紀(jì)60年代的任何事情，你就沒有真正經(jīng)歷過那段歲月?！睂τ谠诖舐闊熿F中度過大學(xué)時光的那些人，這話可能是真的。但是，20世紀(jì)60年有一件事人人都記得，那就是：上大學(xué)是你一生中最激動人心、最刺激的經(jīng)歷。,Text,2 20世紀(jì)60年代，加州的高校把本州變成了世界第七大經(jīng)濟實體。然而，加州大學(xué)的主校園伯克利分校也以學(xué)生示威、罷課以及激進的政治氛圍而著名。1966年，羅納德里根競選加州州長，問加州是否允許“一所偉大的大學(xué)被

47、喧鬧的、唱反調(diào)的少數(shù)人征服?！弊杂膳扇耸炕卮鹫f，大學(xué)之所以偉大正是因為它們有能力容忍喧鬧的、唱反調(diào)的少數(shù)人。,Text,3 在歐洲的大學(xué)校園里，大學(xué)生以新的姿態(tài)和激情投入到爭取自由和正義的事業(yè)中去，大規(guī)模的社會主義或共產(chǎn)主義運動引發(fā)了他們與當(dāng)權(quán)者之間日益升級的暴力沖突。許多抗議是針對越南戰(zhàn)爭的?？墒窃诜▏?，巴黎大學(xué)的學(xué)生與工會聯(lián)盟，發(fā)動了一場大罷工，最終導(dǎo)致戴高樂總統(tǒng)辭職。,Text,4 20 世紀(jì)60年代大學(xué)生活的特點并不僅僅是激進的行動。不論在什么地方，上大學(xué)都意味著你初次品嘗真正自由的滋味，初次品嘗深更半夜在宿舍或?qū)W生活動室里討論人生意義的滋味。你往往得上了大學(xué)才能閱讀你的第一本禁書，看

48、你的第一部獨立影人電影，或者找到和你一樣癡迷吉米亨德里克斯或蘭尼布魯斯的志同道合者。那是一段難以想象的自由時光，你一生中最無拘無束的時光。,Text,5 可如今那份激情哪兒去了？大學(xué)怎么了？現(xiàn)在，政治、社會和創(chuàng)造意識的覺醒似乎不是憑借大學(xué)的助力，而是沖破其阻力才發(fā)生的。當(dāng)然，一點不假，高等教育仍然重要。例如，在英國，布萊爾首相幾乎實現(xiàn)了到2010年讓50的30歲以下的人上大學(xué)的目標(biāo)（即使憤世嫉俗的人會說，這是要把他們排除在失業(yè)統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)之外）。不過，大學(xué)教育已不再是全民重視的話題了。如今，大學(xué)被視為人們急于逃離的一種小城鎮(zhèn)。有些人輟學(xué)，但大多數(shù)已經(jīng)有些麻木，還是堅持混到畢業(yè)，因為離開學(xué)校實在是太

49、費事了。,Text,6 沒有了20世紀(jì)60年代大學(xué)生所發(fā)現(xiàn)的令人頭腦發(fā)熱的自由氣氛，如今的大學(xué)生要嚴(yán)肅得多。英國文化協(xié)會最近做了一項調(diào)查，研究外國留學(xué)生在決定上哪所大學(xué)時所考慮的因素。這些因素從高到低依次是：課程質(zhì)量、就業(yè)前景、學(xué)費負擔(dān)、人身安全問題、生活方式，以及各種便利。大學(xué)已變成實現(xiàn)目的的手段，是在就業(yè)市場上增加就業(yè)幾率的一個機會，上大學(xué)本身不再是目的，不再是給你提供一個機會，讓你暫時想象一下：你能夠改變世界。,Text,7 童年與大學(xué)之間的距離已縮小了，大學(xué)與現(xiàn)實世界之間的距離也縮小了。其中的一個原因可能和經(jīng)濟有關(guān)。在一個沒有保障的世界里，現(xiàn)在的許多孩子依賴父母資助的時間比以前的孩子更

50、長。21世紀(jì)的學(xué)生大學(xué)畢業(yè)后根本無法自立門戶，因為那太昂貴了。,Text,另一個可能的原因是通訊革命。兒子或女兒每學(xué)期往家里打一兩回電話的日子一去不復(fù)返了。如今，大學(xué)生通過手機與父母保持著臍帶式聯(lián)系。至于尋找癡迷無名文學(xué)或音樂的同道好友，沒問題，我們有互聯(lián)網(wǎng)和聊天室來幫助我們做到這一點。,Text,8 “幸福啊，活在那個黎明之中， 年輕更是如進天堂！” 9 華茲華斯的詩句說的可能是法國大革命，但是對于20世紀(jì)60年代的大學(xué)生而言，這樣的詩句同樣真實生動?？墒菫槭裁磳τ谌缃竦拇髮W(xué)生來說，它們就不真實了呢？,haze,marijuana,stimulating,economy,campus,cla

After delivering a rousing speech in support of Barry Goldwaters presidential candidacy in 1964, he was persuaded to seek the California governorship, winning two years later and again in 1970. He was defeated in his run for the Republican presidential nomination in
