A high-school dropout, Sharpe had to survive on $500 a month. He lined up at food banks, frequented churches and libraries in order to heal his spirit. Then he saw a poster on a telephone pole. “Free University,” it promised. He signed up immediately.  By early September Sharpe was riding a bus across town to Point Grey, one of Canada's wealthiest areas, to attend a unique program at the University of British Columbia(UBC). He was among 25 adults aged 20 to 62 with widely  varied  backgroundsーsingle mothers, AIDS sufferers, new immigrants, homeless people and so on. What they shared was an income below the poverty line, the ability to read  a newspaper and a love for learningーthe only requirements for an eight-month course called Humanities 101.  Every Tuesday and Thursday evening, after most students had left the campus, the group gathered in a classroom where they were taught first year level philosophy, literature, architecture, economics and poetry by well-known professors and other professionals who volunteered their time.   The course awakend Sharpe's desire for learning. He worked hard on assignments, regularly visited the computer lab and searched the university library. As his (A) grew, Sharpe began to regain control over his life. He started a running club in the Downtown Eastside and pushed Humanities 101 organizers to help him enter UBC as a regular student.   “Humanities 101 opened up (a,experienced,I,never,of,what,world) before,” he says. “Showning people a different way of thinkingーeducationーbrings light.”  Sharpe is one of some 100 people who have graduated from Humanities 101 since it  began in the fall of 1998. Three graduates now attend UBC, and many more are studying in community and technical colleges. Others have opened their own business of worked as vnlunteers, and have become active in community affairs; one even ran for mayer. Almost all have felt their lives deeply changed.  “We're not trying to make people employable,” says former Humanities 101 director, Dr.Client Burnham. “We're trying to reawaken their desire for knowledge. Our success is in helping people gain control over their lives in small ways.” 【設問】 (A) 1income 2personality 3interest 4study 以上になります。

    While other workers left their offices each evening to go home to a good dinner、Jeff Coe’s mind was on the thousands of people in his city who weren't so fortunate. For a year he had been in the habit of going to the square in front of the city hall to join member of the charity organisation Help the Hungry,where he customers:the homeless,old people dependent on inadequate pensions,drug addicts who had used all their money to buy cocaine. It was tiring,unpaid work,but rewarding in other ways. However the city government was not as appreciative as he might have hope. Several time Help the Hungry had been warned that it was against the law to serve food without a licence. "The licensing system is to protect citizens," mayor Ramos explained when asked why he had criticised the charity."Even if the food is free we have to have controls to ensure health standards are maintained." Aware of the regulation,Help the Hungry had applied twice for a licence but been turned down. Since they were cooking outside with simple equipment there seemed to be doubts about hygiene. Moreover hundreds of people applied for food licences every year,including hamburg stands and pizza sellers,and only some could be accepted.

    What is the seacret, then,of Marx's appeal for and influence and power over millions of the earth's inhabitants? Neill has suggested that Marx is "the symbolical leader of the have-nots in their struggle against the haves."Another interpretation comes from Harold Laski:"At bottom,the main passion by which he was moved was the passion for justice. He may have hated too strongly,he was jealous and he was proud. But the mainspring of his life was the desire to take from the shoulders of the people the burden by which it was oppressed. "Yet another perceptive evaluation comes from Freehof, who wrote, "The great constructive gift of Karl Marx to modern society, socialistic and capitalistic alike,is his picture of the inevitability of a society in which poverty and suffering will cease. This ideal has become a challenge to every social system. Even a social system like ours, which rejects his economics, nevertheless accepts that ideal in its own way. Thus,the man who himself lived in misery gave the world the hope for the complete abolition of poverty. This is the accomplishment of Karl Marx. That is the way in which he has changed the mind of the modern world."

     It was almost five o'clock in the evening. There were not very many people left in the museum. Michael, the security guard, was checking to see that nothing was wrong with any of the paintings displayed in the museum. Suddenly, he saw something on the floor. Michael showed the painting to the director of the museum. The director got interested in the painting and asked Michael several questions.  "You found this in the Abstract Art section on the third floor?"  "Yeah, on the floor," answered Michael.  "Was there anyone who might have painted this on the third floor?" asked the director.  "No, sir. People were gone and this painting was lying on the floor."  "Well then, we must call several museums to check and see if it's a stolen painting," said the director.  The director and Michael did not receive any claim from anybody, so the director decided to hang it in the abstract art division on the third floor. Many experts from different countries came to review the painting. Each one said it was beautiful and had very deep meaning that turned the thoughts of the viewers inward. Both the director and Michael were proud to have such a painting in their museum.  Several weeks later, a woman came to the museum with her four-year-old son. While they were looking at the new painting, the little boy, all of a sudden, began to cry very loudly, pointing to the painting. Michael walked over to the mother and child, and asked, "Is anything wrong, son?"  The mother replied instead, "He is crying because that's his painting displayed on the wall, and he wants it back. I was here with my son a few weeks ago, and he might have left his paining right here on the floor. If you look carefully, I'm sure you can see his fingerprints on the back."  Michael was so embarrassed that he was just looking at the boy and his mother is an awkward silence.

    There he was on the ground,in no condition to go on, and all of a sudden he was no longer in Poland.instead,he found himself imaging himself standing on a stage on postwar Vienna giving a lecture on The Psychology of Death Camps. Audience of two hundred listened to his every word. The lecture was one that he had been working out the whole time he had been in the death camp. He spoke about how some people seem to survive the experience better than others, psychologically and emotionally. It was a brilliant lecture, all taking place in his mind's eye and ear. He was no longer half dead on the field but living in the lecture. During the lecture, Frankl told the imaginary audience about the day he was in that field being beaten and was certain he didn't have the strength to get up and keep walking.    Then, wonder of wonders, he told his imagined audience, he was able to stand up. The guard stopped beating him and get began to walk slowly. As he was imagining describing this to his audience, his body got up and began to walk. He continued to imagine this lecture all the while he was doing the work and through the cold march back to the death comp. He collapsed into his narrow bed, imagining ending this brilliantly clear speech and receiving a standing ovation.

    The University of Manchester's eminent physicist Sir Arthur Schuster had wide-ranging interests in physics and applied mathematics; he carried on a worldwide correspondence with other scientists. He amassed a remarkable collection of scientific papers. Many were autographed and many contained marginal queries and comments which would be valuable to a historian of this period of exciting development in physics. Shortly after the end of World War 2,a catalogue offered for sale the Schuster collection of reports,complete with oak bookcases.In this time of shortage of many things,including metal shelving,the Librarian of a large US state university found it expedient to buy the library. He found use for its bookcases;the collection of scientific papers was dispersed and destroyed.
