The University of Newcastle offers international students the perfect combination of lifestyle. and learning.
Set in excellent bush-land just minutes away remarkable beaches, waterways and forests, both campuses of the University are well known for their academic(学术的) excellence and innovative(革新的) teaching. Not surprisingly, its graduates are in high demand.
The University of Newcastle attracts students and staff of the highest quality. Today more than 17,000 students study in one of 150 undergraduate and postgraduate courses offered by 11 faculties: Architecture; Art and Design; Arts and Social Science; Economics and Commerce; Education; Engineering; Law; Medicine and Health Sciences; Music; Nursing; and Science and Mathematics.
The University has two campuses: Callaghan(the largest campus) in Newcastle, and Central Coast at Ourimbah(halfway between Newcastle and Sydney), which supplies a growing region with its educational needs.
The University is also known worldwide for its problem-based learning programs. Used mainly in the Faculties of Medicine and Health Sciences, Nursing and Architecture, problem-based learning places students in small groups where they solve problems they are likely to face in their working lives. In other words, it gives a clearer purpose to learning.

第2题
W: Yes, in Britain.
M: What, um, how do students go about getting jobs when they graduate?
W: Well, most universities have a Careers Advice Service. I used to know the people in the Careers Service in Newcastle University and they, in fact, seem fairly successful in finding jobs for students. They are able to get jobs for 30-40% of new graduates.
M: That seems a fairly low percentage.
W: Um…well…it's not if you consider the various other options which people take up. For example, there are a fair number of people, who go into further study, who carry straight on into master's degrees, either at the same university or another university. Then there is a second group of people who decide not to take a career job immediately after university. Instead, they decide to take time off, maybe see the world, and…and…well, there is a third group who can't actually get the jobs they want immediately, and who may take something else while they wait for a job they really want. So when I say 30-40% find jobs through the Careers Service, that doesn't mean that only that number find jobs. A lot of other people find jobs through the newspaper.
M: So it is quite high really, yes?
W: Oh, I think so, relatively, yes. And quite a lot of other people, of course, look in newspapers and the particular journals or magazines which advertise jobs in the fields they're interested in.
What is the percentage of college graduates getting jobs through university Careers Service?
A.30-40%.
B.20-30%.
C.40-50%.
D.20-40%.

British cancer researchers have found that childhood leukaemia is caused by an infection and clusters of cases around industrial sites are the result of population mixing that increases exposure. The research published in the British Journal of Cancer backs up a 1988 theory that some as yet unidentified infection caused leukaemia—not the environmental factors widely blamed for the disease.
“Childhood leukaemia appears to be an unusual result of a common infection,” said Sir Richard Doll, an internationally—known cancer expert who first linked tobacco with lung cancer in 1950. “A virus is the most likely explanation. You would get an increased risk of it if you suddenly put a lot of people from large towns in a rural area, where you might have people who had not been exposed to the infection.” Doll was commenting on the new findings by researchers at Newcastle University, which focused on a cluster of leukaemia cases around the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant in Cumbria in northern England. Scientists have been trying to establish why there was more leukaemia in children around the Sellafield area, but have failed to establish a link with radiation or pollution. The Newcastle University research by Heather Dickinson and Louise Parker showed the cluster of cases could have been predicted because of the amount of population mixing going on in the area, as large numbers of construction workers and nuclear staff moved into a rural setting. “Our study shows that population mixing can account for the (Sellafield) leukaemia cluster and that all children, whether their parents are incomers or locals, are at a higher risk if they are born in an area of high population mixing,” Dickinson said in a statement issued by the Cancer Research Campaign, which publishes the British Journal of Cancer.
Their paper adds crucial weight to the 1988 theory put forward by Leo Kinlen, a cancer epidemiologist at Oxford University, who said that exposure to a common unidentified infection through population mixing resulted in the disease.
Who first hinted at the possible cause of childhood leukaemia by infection?______
A.Leo Kinlen.
B.Richard Doll.
