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 lawbreaking.
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 documents.
Which of the following is NOT required of an E-2 visa applicant？
A．To pass a Korean language test.
B．To undergo a medical test.
C．To provide sealed school reports.
D．To undergo a drug test.
Legend has it that the first credit card was born in 1950 over lunch at a Manhattan restaurant when Alfred Bloomingdale and his colleague Francis McNamara dreamed up the idea of creating a third party to cover checks at restaurants. They called it Diners Club. But the scheme faced a "chicken-and-egg problem". Consumers didn' t want thE card until stores accepted it, and merchants wouldn't accept it until consumers carried it.
To solve the problem, and to work around federal laws that prevented banks from operating across state lines, banks joined together to form. "network joint ventures", such as Visa and MasterCard. Under these arrangements, some member banks recruited (征募)consumers, others recruited merchants. The banks on both ends earned fees, and they shared the costs of maintaining the networks.
Because of an antitrust(反托拉斯的，反垄断的) dispute(争论) twenty-five years ago, Visa allows its member banks to join up with MasterCard as well. But it refuses to allow them to collaborate with any other network. The Justice Department is less appreciative. In October 1998-shortly before Paying with Plastic went to press-the government charged Visa and MasterCard with violating the Sherman Antitrust Act. (Wal-Mart and a group of big retailers have filed a related suit, charging that Visa and MasterCard have colluded (勾结)tokeep fees on their debit cards (借记卡) unfairly high .The trouble is that today Visa and MasterCard have pretty much the same member banks. Do two ventures with the same owners really have an incentive (动机) to compete？
According to the government' s complaint, in 1987 MasterCard was prepared to introduce the first "smart card" -a card with an integrated circuit that could store personal data. But MasterCard's board ref used to proceed without Visa's go-ahead. Today both brands are still developing a smart card, sharing information all the while. The situation doesn't exactly encourage competition. As Visa International's president and chief executiveput it in an unguarded moment in 1992, "If you have got one foot firmly placed on both sides of the street, who cares？"
Some people insist that the Visa-MasterCard partnership does not harm competition or innovation. They point to Visa and MasterCard's rival advertising campaigns and to Citibank' recent decision to switch its primary allegiance (效忠) from Visa to MasterCard because only MasterCard would aIlow it to relegate the network insignia to the back of its plastic cards. The reason no one has introduced smart cards, says Evans, is because the chip(芯片) technology is too expensive. "It is a silly argument," he says. "The Justice Department is trying to fix something that isn' t broken. This industry is extraordinarily successful. "
Indeed, however the case turns out, the most popular complaint against the consumer credit business is likely to remain what it was a century ago: The industry succeeds all too well at putting expensive credit in the hands of weak-willed shoppers.

SECTION A CONVERSATIONS
Directions: In this section you will hear several conversations. Listen to the conversations carefully and then answer the questions that follow.
听力原文：M: Hello, Miss Smith! So glad to see you!
W: You must be kidding! I've been here hundreds of times for the visa, so you couldn't say that.
M: But today is different. I was just going to let you know the visa has been granted.
W: Oh, dear! I've been waiting for nearly six months by now.

W: The answer is quite simple: I happen to be a student of English and I want to get an M. A. degree. I've decided to go to London University, even if it rains everyday in England.
