Most British telephone cards are just plain green, but card collecting is becoming a popular hobby in Britain and collectors even have their own magazine, International Telephone Cards. One reason for their interest is that cards from around the world come in a wide variety of different and often very attractive designs. There are 100, 000 different cards in Japan alone, and there you can put your own design onto a blank card simply by using a photograph or a business card.

  The first telephone cards, produced in 1976, were Italian. Five years later the first British card appeared, and. now you can buy cards in more than a hundred countries. People usually start collecting cards because they are attractive, small and light , and they do not need much space. It is also a cheap hobby for beginners, although for some people it becomes a serious business. In Paris, for example, there is a market where you can buy only telephone cards, and some French cards cost up to 4, 000 pounds. The first Japanese card has a value of about 28, 000 pounds. Most people only see cards with prices like these in their collectors magazine.

This is a tense time for students in America,with the exam season in full swing and the stress and anxiety being felt across the country.At some universities,students are reviewing their lessons,knowing that in a few weeks the stress will be over once they put pen to paper in that exam hall.For others,however,that stress and anxiety may well last a while longer as lecturers continue to refuse to set exams.No one knows when things will get back to normal.

The reason behind this trouble is the ongoing argument in higher education between lecturers and employers over pay.The Association of University Teachers(AUT)are currently taking industrial action because of the fact that lecturers have been underpaid for years.Vice-presidents of the universities,who enjoy six-figure salaries,are not making any noises to suggest that this will change in the near future.

The National Union of Students(NUS)absolutely believes that our lecturers should be better paid,and that the promises made to them during the top-up fees debate about extra income must be kept.

It’s shameful that 1ecturers have had to take industrial action to achieve better pay and conditions while vice-presidents’own salaries have risen 25%over the past three years.But the students who are suffering as a result of the argument must be put first.We do not agree with the attitude taken by the AUT,which is refusing to set exams.We admit that the decision to take this course of action was democratically(民主地)reached.However,it is having the biggest effect on our members at this moment in time and we will continue to let the AUT know the results of this.

We call on both sides to sort this mess out.Hopefully then our members can get the horrible exam season Out of the way and start planning,and enjoying,their upcoming summer holiday.

 

60.The phrase“taking industrial action”in the second paragraph refers to

A.doing some extra work about industry

B.running a factory to earn more money

C.refusing to set papers as a strike

D.a(chǎn)sking some workers to support them

61.What is the students’opinion about the argument?

A.They think it’s wrong that the lecturers ask for the better pay.

B.They think what the vice-presidents have done is reasonable and understandable.

C.They totally agree with what the lecturers have done and support them.

D.They hope that the lecturers can set exams as soon as possible.

62.The author wrote this article on behalf of________.

A.the vice-presidents                                      B.the lecturers

C.the students                                               D.the AUT
