WASHINGTON — It is announced Friday that White House visitor records will be opened up on a regular basis for the first time in modern history, providing the public an unusually
detailed look at who gets the opportunity to help shape American policy at the highest levels. “Americans have a right to know whose voices are being heard in the policymaking process,” the president said in a written statement issued by the White House while he vacationed with his family at Camp David.
By the end of the year, the White House will begin posting online every month the names of the people who visited in the last 90 to 120 days. Each person’s full name will be listed, along with the date and time they entered and left and the name of the person they visited. About 70,000 to 100,000 people visit the White House each month, and the records will include tourists as well as people conducting business.
The White House pointed out several exceptions to the policy: “purely personal guests” of the Obama family; those cases in which the disclosure(透露) of visitors’ names “would threaten national safety interests”; and those who come for “particularly sensitive meetings,” like candidates for a Supreme Court nomination(提名). Officials said only a “small number” will fit in the latter category, and their names would eventually be disclosed after they are no longer secret, like after a nomination is publicly announced. Moreover, they said, the number of undisclosed visitors will be disclosed, to make clear how few they are.
56. Why will the White House visitor records be open to the public? A. To attract more visitors to the White House.
B. To allow people to know more about the life of the Obama family. C. To let the public know who are influencing the policies.
D. To ask the public help correct the policies made by the government. 57. From the passage we can learn that ________.
A. All the visitors’ names will be posted online soon after their visits B. Not all visitors are allowed to visit the White House
C. Some visitors’ names can be found online until they’re not secret D. The records of the visitors will be kept for at least 4 months
58. According to the passage, whose name might be kept secret for some time? A. A tourist. B. A businessman.
C. A foreign student. D. A foreign minister. 59. What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. The White House will open the records of the visitors to the public. B. In America more and more people are becoming policy makers. C. The Americans have a right to know who are making policies. D. President Obama has announced a new policy while on holiday.

I once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on “two-hour business plans”. I separated them into six groups and gave them an example: a restaurant chain. The more original their idea, the better, I said. Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. The sixth proposed a catering service. Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment.
My students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from state owned enterprises and global companies. They were not without talent or opinions, but they had been
shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness. The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years’ teaching at the school. Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review. Case study debates were written up and just memorized. Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.
In China, every product you can imagine has been made and sold. But so few well developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand.
With this problem in mind, partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established. And then there’s the “thousand talent scheme”: this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign trained scientists to the mainland with big money. But there are worries about China’s research environment. It’s hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness, and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.
At last, for China, becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnerships with top Western universities. Nor is it about gathering a group of well educated people and telling them to think creatively. It’s about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds. It’s not that simple.
60. Why does the author feel disappointed at his students? A. Because there is one group presenting a catering service. B. Because the six groups made projects for restaurant chains. C. Because all the students copied a case for the difficult topic. D. Because the students’ ideas were lacking in creativeness.
61. Which of the following scenes is NOT considered as lack of creation? A. Papers were often downloaded from the Internet.
B. Students often said that copying is a preferable business strategy. C. Students combine knowledge and critical thoughts to solve a problem. D. Case study debates were written up as well as recited.
62. The underlined word “scheme” in the forth paragraph means ________. A. timetable B. theme C. project D. policy 63. We can infer from the passage that ________.
A. China can make and sell any product all over the world
B. high pay may not solve the problem of China’s research environment C. cooperation with institutions has been set up to make a Chinese brand D. the new government program are aimed at encouraging imagination 64. Which is the best title of the passage?
A. Look for a New Way of Learning. B. Reward Creative Thinking. C. How to Become a Creator. D. Establish a technical Environment.
