The Spanish Government is so worried about the number of young adults still living with their parents that it has decided to help them leave the nest. Around 55 percent of people aged 18—34 in Spain still sleep in their parents? homes，says the latest report from the country’s state-run Institute of Youth. To coax (劝诱)young people from their homes，the institute started a “Youth Emancipation(解放)programme this month.The programme offers guidance in finding rooms and jobs. Economists blame young people’s family dependence on the precarious (不稳定的)labour market and increasing housing prices、Housing prices have risen 17 percent a year since 2000. Cultural reasons also contribute to the problem, say sociologists、Family ties in south Europe—Italy，Portugal and Greece—are stronger than those in middle and north Europe? Said Spanish sociologist Almudena Moreno Minguez in her report uThe Late Emancipation of Spanish Youth: Keys for Understanding”. “In general，young people in Spain firmly believe in the family as the main body around which their private life is organized，”said Minguez. In Spain----especially in the countryside, it is not uncommon to find entire groups of aunts,uncles，cousins，nieces and nephews(夕卜甥/侄子)all living on the same street.They regularly get together for Sunday dinner. Parents’ tolerance(宽容)is another factor.Spanish parents accept late-night partying and are wary of setting bedtime rules. “A child can arrive home at whatever time he wants.If parents complain he’ll put up a big fight and call the father a Fascist，” said Jose Antonio Gomez Yanez，a sociologist at Carlos III University in Madrid. Mothers’ willingness to do children’s household chores worsens the problem、Dionisio Masso,a 60-year-old in Madrid, has three children in their 20s.The eldest, 28, has a girlfriend and a job.But life with mum is good. “His mum does the wash and cooks for him; in the end，he lives well，” Masso said.

According to South Koreans new visa regulations, native speakers of English who intend to teach English in South Korea will be required to undergo criminal record checks，medical and drug tests, provide sealed academic transcripts and have their university diplomas inspected? The Korea Times has reported.The tightened regulations will affect an estimated 17000 foreigners that hold E-2 visas specifically for foreign language teachers. The most controversial requirement is that English teachers residing 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 end and renew their visas at a South Korean embassy in their home country or third country.Before the changes, they could renew their visas by visiting a neighboring country and return without additional documentation. 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, 1481 foreign language teachers have been caught for a range of offenses including forged degrees, visa violations and general lawbreaking. But the changes are likely to slow up the supply of teachers to South Koreans 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 for documents.“South Korea has put up too many hoops 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 efforts to ease the discontent, the South Korean Ministry of Justice has granted a three-month grace period for current E-2 visa holders to prepare the necessary documents. Which of the following is NOT required of an E-2 visa applicant?A.To pass a Korean language testB.To undergo a medical test.C.To provide sealed school reportsD.To undergo a drug test.Before the change of visas regulation，foreign teachers living in South Korean can__________to teach again.A.have an interview again at a South Korean embassyB.return to their own country to renew their visasC.visit a neighboring country if they wanted to renew their visasD.produce additional documentation to renew their visasIn paragraph 4, the word “reactionary move” in the sentence means ____________.A.conflicting ideasB.opposing opinionsC.subversive activitiesD.disapproving actionsWhat does EFL refer to?A.English Foreign language learnerB.English as a second languageC.Learning of English as a foreign languageD.English as a foreign languageThe new visa policy aims at________.A.limiting too many foreigners entering into South Korean to teach EnglishB.improving foreign language teaching in South KoreaC.easing the discontent of the South Korean people to the governmentD.slowing up the supply of English teachers to South Korea请帮忙给出每个问题的正确答案和分析，谢谢！

Since the early 1930s,Swiss banks had prided themselves on their system of banking secrecy and numbered accounts.Over the years,they had successfully withstood every challenge to this system by their own government who,in turn,had been frequently urged by foreign governments to reveal information about the financial affairs of certain account holders.The result of this policy of secrecy was that a kind of mystique had grown up around Swiss banking.There was a widely-held belief that Switzerland was irresistible to wealthy foreigners, mainly because of its numbered accounts and bankers, reluctance to ask awkward questions of depositors.Contributing to the mystique was the view,carefully propagated by the banks themselves, that if this secret was ever given up, foreigners would fall over themselves in the rush to withdraw money, and the Swiss banking system would virtually collapse overnight. To many, therefore, it came like a bolt out of the blue, when, in 1977，the Swiss banks announced they had signed a pact with the Swiss National Bank (the Central Bank).The aim of the agreement was to prevent the improper use of the country’s bank secrecy laws，and its effect to curb (遏制)severely the system of secrecy. The rules which the banks had agreed to observe made the opening of numbered accounts subject to much closer scrutiny than before.The banks would be required,if necessary,to identify the origin of foreign fund going into numbered and other accounts.The idea was to stop such accounts being used for dubious (可疑的)purposes.Also，they agreed not to accept funds resulting from tax evasion or from crime. The pact represented essentially a tightening up of banking rules.Although the banks agreed to end relations with clients whose identities were unclear or who were performing improper acts, they were still not obliged to inform. on a client to anyone, including the Swiss government.To some extent,therefore,the principle of secrecy had been maintained. Swiss banks took pride in_________.A.the number of their accountsB.withholding client informationC.being mysterious to the outsidersD.attracting wealthy foreign clients
