The funding councils' Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) judges the quality of research carried out in individual university departments, and rates it on a scale of l to 5. In the last assessment, in 1992, departments ranked as low as 2 received funding. The group says this should not happen in this years exercise. Funding councils have not yet announced how they will distribute money from now on.
In a report called Research capability of the University System launched this week the group claims that funds are needed to pay for the “professional development” of university teachers who are not active in research, to help them keep up with their subject and improve the courses they teach.
It recommends that about 50 million, including money which is currently used to fund research in departments ranked at level 2, should be used to pay for this. It advises that the money should go only to those departments that are not competing for research money through the RAE.
The group believes that some universities have been expanding their research departments in order to attract research money. Some universities, it claims, are better suited to teaching than research, and should be encouraged to develop their expertise as educators.
“There's no use pretending that 104 universities could have the same job in life,” says David Harrison, master of Selwyn College, Cambridge, who chaired the group . A university could have some departments that are strong on research and others that are known for their top -grade teaching, he says.
But some people have some doubts about the group's recommendations. “It seems to be about developing further the distinction between research and non - research universities.” says Paul Cottrell of the Association of University Teachers, "If professional development money is a good idea, then it's a good idea for all university teachers."
The National Academic Policy Advisory Group says that money should be given to.
A.all the teachers
B.the best researchers.
C.the best teachers.
D.the needy universities .

听力原文: China has come up with a first nationwide regulations on managing alcohol sales, including a ban on selling alcohol to minors, China Youth Daily reports.
The "Alcohol Circulation Management Regulations" enacted Thursday by the nation's Ministry of Commerce are set to get into effect January 1, 2006.
The regulations set up systems to supervise alcohol sellers, and include a registration and tracing system.
The new rules also demand that trade administration departments at all government levels cannot block or undermine the legal circulation of alcohol products. This is being widely viewed as an effort by the central government to restrain protectionism in regional trade.
The report did not say how those who don't obey the new regulations would be punished.
The action follows a recent trend in some major urban areas. In March of this year, the Shanghai local government carried out a rule banning the sale of alcohol to minors, the Xinhua news agency said.
According to that regulation, selling cigarettes and alcohol to minors is banned.
Adults cannot help minors buy such products, nor are they permitted to smoke in school classrooms, libraries or any location where children are frequently present. All stores selling cigarettes and alcohol are required to post "No Cigarette and Alcohol Sales to Minor" warning signs.
(36)
A.Children education.
B.Alcohol sales.
C.Environmental protection.
D.None of the above.

What Work Environments Do?
Work environments are than as varied (31) there are types of businesses. (32) it is a large corporation with multiple departments and locations, or a small business with only a handful of employees, different work environments seem to serve different purposes. If your company is experiencing increased or high turnover rates, it is important to look at all of the aspects that could be affecting employee satisfaction, but do not overlook the impact and influence the environment could have (33) the situation.
The work environment can include various factors—the lighting,furniture, colours, smells, sounds—everything that makes (34) the environment where work happens combines into (35) an overall effect. Some things cannot be helped, of course. For example, a business that specialises (36) auto-body repair and autopainting is going to have the equipment needed to get the job done, as well as some pretty strong odors of paint. There are things the employers can do (37) minimise the effects but they will likely not be completely eliminated. One would assume that individuals who are highly sensitive (38) this environment would not want to work there and (39) employees will understand the realities of the work environment.
When employees expect a certain type of environment and get something very different, problems can result. Those expected to work in a quiet, functional office but who find themselves (40) in an office environment that is loud, chaotic, with strong fumes coming from a nearby shop or other coping with other uncomfortable environment realities may soon be looking for alternative work.
