序言 为了适应我国高等教育新的发展形势，深化教学改革，提高教学质量，满足新时期国家对人才培养的需求，2004年6月教育部颁发了《大学英语课程教学要求（试行）》。新的教学要求重新规定了大学英语的教学目标：培养学生的英语综合应用能力，特别是听说能力，使他们能在今后的工作和社会交往中用英语有效地进行口头和书面的信息交流。为体现新的教学要求的精神，并达到这一教学要求，全国大学英语四、六级考试委员会颁发了《全国大学英语四、六级考试改革方案（试行）》及（（大学英语四级考试大纲》（2006修订版），对大学英语四级考试进行配套改革，从考试内容到题型设计进行了重大调整。从2007年1月开始，全面实施改革后的新大学英语四级考试。

The embedded chip would hold an individual's entire work history. The result would be a "walking resume" that would virtually eliminate fraud and could even allow companies to identifyindividuals who might pose a threat to workplace safety.
Technology will help firms solve the labor shortages that currently plague many industries,particularly high-tech ones. The human downside, though, is that, in solving labor shortages,technology will ultimately result in job destruction.
