We answer some questions this week in our series on getting into an American college or university．

The first question has to do with our recent discussion of English language tests．Vo Ngoc Toan from Vietnam would like to know about the TOEIC，which is designed to men—sure skills in English as spoken in the workplace．People may be required to take it if they apply for jobs with companies or other employers．But TOEIC scores aren’t used for college admission in the United States．

The Educational Testing Service administrates the TOEIC．It says the test measures the     language skills of people working in an international environment．But，American colleges and  universities accept scores from the TOEFL and often the IELTS．If you missed our report on  these tests．you can find it at our website www．unsv．com．

And，finally，we have questions from Iran，Afghanistan and Indonesia about how to pay for an education through jobs．There’re rules that restrict the kinds of jobs that foreign students can have while studying。in the United States．

第三部分　閱讀理解（共20小題；每小題2分，滿分40分）
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中, 選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A
Aren’t they all our children?
There are few things in this life more difficult to experience than the loss of one’s child. Jim Wallis, in WHO SPEAKS FOR GOD, tells a story that happened during the war in Sarajevo. A reporter who was covering the violence in the middle of the city saw a little girl shot by a gunman.
The reporter rushed to the aid of a man who was now holding the child. He helped them both into his car and sped off to a hospital.  
“Hurry, my friend,” the man urged, “my child is still alive.” A moment or two later he pleaded, “Hurry, my friend, my child is still breathing.” A little later he said, “Hurry, my friend, my child is still warm.”
When they got to the hospital, the young girl was gone. “This is a terrible task for me,” the distraught man said to the reporter. “I must go and tell her father that his child is dead.”
He looked at the man in surprise and said, “I thought she was your child.”
The man replied, “No, but aren't they all our children?”
I think that is one of the great questions of our age that deserves an answer.
Aren’t they all our children? Those on our side of the border as well as those on the other side? Those of our nation no more or less than those of another?
Aren’t they all our children? The well-educated and the under-educated? The well-fed and the under-fed? Those who are secure and those who are at risk?
Aren’t they all our children? if we say yes, can we ever again pit them against each other? “If we have no peace,” said Mother Teresa, “it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.”
There may be no greater question for our generation. And how we answer that question will determine the shape of our world for years to come.
51. What was the reporter doing when the shooting took place?
A. Telling a story.              B. Having a meeting. 
C. Reporting an event.          D. Helping the wounded.
52. From the text we know the girl died        .
A. in the hospital         B. with nobody in front 
C. soon after the shooting   D. far away from her home
53. How many people experienced the sad story?
A. Three.              B. Four.       C. Five.         D. Six.
54. Which can best express the point of a yes to the question “Aren’t they all our children?”
A. Health.       B. Love.  C. Wealth.     D. Peace.
