An increase in students applying to study economics (经济学) at university is being attributed to （归因于）the global economic crisis (危机) awakening a public thirst for knowledge about how the financial system works.

Applications for degree courses beginning this autumn were up by 15% this January, according to UCAS, the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service. A spokesman for the Royal Economic Society said applications to do economics at A-level were also up.

Professor John Beath, the president of the society and a leading lecture at St Andrews University, said his first-year lectures which are open to students from all departments—were drawing crowds of 400, rather than the usual 250.

“There are a large number of students who are not economics majors, who would like to learn something about it. One of the things I have done this year is to relate my teaching to contemporary events in a way that one hasn’t traditionally done. ” He added.

University applications rose 70% last year. But there were rises above average in several subjects. Nursing saw a 15% jump, with people’s renewed interest in careers in the pubic sector（部门）, which are seen as more secure in economic crisis.

A recent study showed almost two thirds of parents believed schools should do more to teach pupils about financial matters, and almost half said their children had asked them what was going on, although a minority of parents felt they did not understand it themselves well enough to explain.

Zack Hocking, the head of Child Trust Funds, said: “It’s possible that one good thing to arise from the downturn will be a generation that’s financially wiser and better equipped (使…有能力) to manage their money through times of economic uncertainty.”

Paula Radcliffe, chasing(角逐)a third London marathon title(冠军),says she has become a stronger person after her terrible experience at the 2004 Athens Games.

Radcliffe, who failed to complete the Olympic marathon and the 10,000m last August, said: “Athens made me a stronger person and it made me care about criticism(批评).”

“In the past I wanted to please everyone, but now I am going to listen even more to the people around me.”

She didn’t care about criticism made at the weekend by Liz McColgan, who felt Radcliffe should have rested and let her body recover after her failure in Athens.

“Liz is someone I look up to but she hasn’t spoken to me last year and if she really cared for me, I’m sure she would have contacted(联系)me.”

Instead Radcliffe won the New York City marathon just 11 weeks after Athens.

“In New York I wasn’t in my best state but I did know I was good enough to win the race.”

Radcliffe insisted her only goal in Sunday’s race would be winning a third title and not chasing world records.

However, Radcliffe has not ruled out(排除)in the future chasing her “final” world record time and questioned sayings that marathon runners have the ability in their career to produce only four or five world-class times.

“I don’t think that---although I can’t put a number on it,” said Radcliffe. “That changes from person to person.”

Radcliffe is sure she can better her winning London 2003 performance some point in the future. Following a successful three-month training period in the United States, the 31-year-old will chase a third title on Sunday after her first victory in 2002 and again 12 months later.

Radcliffe clocked a time 2:18:56 in her first 42.2-kilometre race three years ago.

Afterwards she set a “mixed course” mark of 2:17:18 five months later in Chicago before lowering that to a time of 2:15:25 in the 2003 London event.

6. Radcliffe’s failure in Athens made her ______.

A. face criticism calmly B. rest for five months

C. love people around her more D. develop respect for Liz

7. Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Radcliffe broke the world record in the New York City marathon.

B. Radcliffe didn’t fully recover before the New York City marathon.

C. Radcliffe won her first marathon title in the New York City marathon

D. Radcliffe had a 3-month training before the New York City marathon.

8. By saying “I can’t put a number on it “ , Radcliffe means she’s not sure ______.

A. if she has the ability to set a new world record

B. if she can win another race though she has won many times

C. how many times a marathon runner can set the world record

D. if she has the ability to produce four or five world-class times

9. According to the text, Radcliffe has won_____ London marathon title(s).

A. one B. two C. three D. four
