Tightened Visa Regulations
According to South Korea's new visa regulations,native speakers of English in South Korea will be required to undergo criminal record checks,medical and drug tests,provide sealed academic transcripts（成绩单）and have their university diplomas inspected,The Korea Times has reported.The tightened regulations will affect an estimated 17,000 foreigners that hold E-2 visas specifically for foreign language teachers.
The most controversial requirement is that English teachers residing（居住）outside South Korea will have to have an interview at a South Korean Embassy before taking up their teaching posts. For applicants living in remote areas in Canada,Australia or the US,this is an additional travel burden .Meanwhile,foreign teachers currently living in South Korea must leave the country after their one-year contracts and renew their visas by visiting a neighboring country and return without additional documentation（文件证据）.
The visa changes are a reaction to public concern about the suitability of some foreign teachers .A report from the South Korean Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development shows between 2001 and August of this year,1,481 foreign language teachers have been caught for a range of offenses including forged（伪造的）degrees , visa violations and general lawbreak-ing.
But the changes are likely to slow up the supply of teachers to South Korea's English language education sector. According to Michael Duffy,manager of a teacher placement service in South Korea,applicants have to spend a few hundred dollars and several months on getting affidavits（书面陈述书）for documents. " South Korea has put up too many hoops（圈）to jump through,"he said,adding that foreigners would seek work elsewhere.Most foreigners wonder if the experience of working in South Korea will be worth the burden of the paper work and increasing restrictions."I don't think(South)Korea has thought this through."Said Scott Mclnnis,a Canadian teacher based in Incheon near Seoul."This is a reactionary move by the government that will have strong implications for the EFL community."
As part of the efforts to ease the discontent（不满）,the South Korean Ministry of Justice has granted a three-month grace period for current E-2 visa holders to prepare the necessary docu- ments.

New Foods and the New WorldIn the last 500 years,nothing about people—not their clothes,ideas,or languages—has changed as much as what they eat. The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa tree by South American Indians .The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500's .And although it was very expensive,it quickly became fashionable.In London,shops where chocolate drinks were served became important meeting places. Some still exist today.The potato is also from the New World. Around 1600,the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe,where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the“Potato Famine”of 1845—1846,and thou- sands more were forced to emigrate to America.There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World.

The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare’s time is
estimated (估计) to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some
260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States,
Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In
addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a
great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various
levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written
forms. In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number
of people in the world who have acquired an adequate (足够的) working knowledge of
English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and
the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is
difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate
working knowledge for each situation. The main reason
for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world
language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English
is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other
fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used
for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international
conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television
networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number
of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these
countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal
communication in such matters as government, commerce, industry, law and
education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the
scientific and technological developments in the West.What type of developing countries would be most likely to use English
A、Those geographically close to the United States.B、Those interested in the culture of the United States.C、Former colonies of Great Britain.D、Countries where international conferences are held.

is a language in which some of important works in science, technology, and other
fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used

问答题Passage 4 One of the world’s most isolated states, North Korea was hoping to become a member of a very exclusive club. If North Korea’s attempt to put an object into orbit had succeeded, then this impoverished country, hidden behind one of the last Cold War frontiers, would have joined the handful of countries with the independent capability to launch their own satellites. North Korea gave prior warning of the launch and said all along that it was using it as part of the peaceful pursuit of a space programme, as is its right under international law. It has, as was to be expected, already claimed that its satellite is safely in orbit. Yet there may be mocking sniggers. The US military says the satellite failed to make orbit, splashing down instead in the Pacific Ocean. But for the US—and North Korea’s regional neighbours—the success or failure of the satellite was simply not the issue. Their concern about the launch has kept their spy agencies scrutinising North Korea’s east- coast rocket base for months. Navy vessels from the US, Japan and South Korea, deployed off the North Korean coast and equipped with sophisticated radar and anti-missile weaponry, will have monitored the rocket as it passed overhead. The concern was two-fold. That the launch might go wrong in a way that threatened Japanese territory, and that this was an illegal act designed primarily to enhance North Korea’s missile capability. As a general rule, any launch vehicle designed to put a satellite into orbit could also be used as a long distance delivery system for a warhead. In North Korea’s case, the technology is thought to be almost identical. What is believed to be a version of the same rocket was launched in July 2006, without warning, but on that occasion, North Korea admitted afterwards that it had been a straightforward missile test. And some observers question why a country that struggles even to feed its own people would try to develop its own independent space programme. If it really wanted a communications satellite, they argue, a far cheaper option would be to pay someone else, perhaps their Chinese allies, to do it for them. Despite the enormous investment—some estimates suggest that a single launch costs North Korea at least $ 30m (20m)—the level of technological achievement is akin to that reached by the US and the Soviet Union decades ago. The conclusion drawn by much of the international community is that the satellite is simply a fig leaf for the real purpose, the development of the launch vehicle itself which is, no more and no less, a long-range missile. North Korea is forbidden from pursuing this kind of technology by a UN resolution, passed after the 2006 missile test. So its opponents claim the satellite launch is in breach of this resolution, hence the strong international condemnation. Many analysts believe that North Korea would use proof of a successful satellite launch for a number of purposes. Firstly as a kind of shop window for its military prowess, allowing it to boost sales of its rocket technology to other countries, again, in defiance of UN sanctions. But the real advantage is the raising of its threat level, which it will seek to exploit in international negotiations. The rocket used in this latest launch could, in theory at least, be adapted to travel as far as the western United States, albeit carrying a very small payload. Professor Andrei Lankov, from Seoul’s Kookmin University, is in no doubt that this is Pyongyang’ s real motivation. “Honestly, without its nuclear and missile programmes North Korea would look like an absolutely run-of-the-mill third-world dictatorship, although an unusually nasty, unusually brutal and exceptionally inefficient one.” “The main reason why the news about North Korea can sometimes be found on the front pages of the worldwide press is because of their nukes and their missiles, without which nobody would even care about them.” But regardless of North Korea’s true intention there is some debate about the legal position. Daniel Pinkston, a Seoul-based senior analyst with the Brussels-based International Crisi Group, believes it is not as clear cut as Washington suggests. “Compelling arguments can be made that this is a clear violation of UN resolutions,” he said. “Nevertheless, all states do have the sovereign right to the peaceful exploration of outer space. So it comes down to something that cannot really be resolved legally, it comes down to a political decision.” And that’s where the difficulty might lie. The UN Security Council meets later to decide a response. But a veto-wielding China, one of North Korea’s oldest allies, might be keen to soften any proposed punishment. 1. Is this latest rocket launch by North Korea successful? 2. Why have the US, South Korea and Japan been so scared about North Korea’s rocket launch? 3. According to the western world, what is the launch indeed? 4. Is this rocket launch by North Korea legal or not according to the international community Why?
