BEC阅读：商务英语(BEC)中级真题范讲二(阅读5)

　　Read the text below about a learning scheme.

　　In most of the lines 41-52 there is one extra word. It is either grammatically incorrect or does not fit in with the sense of the text. Some lines, however, are correct.

　　If a line is correct, write CORRECT on your Answer Sheet.

　　If there is an extra word in the line, write the extra word in CAPITAL LETTERS on your Answer Sheet.

　　The exercise begins with two examples, (0) and (00).

　　LEARN YOUR LESSON

　　0 Almost all schemes which claim to be able to transform ~25 into ~175 overnight

　　00 are scams, to be put straight into the dustbin. The exception, however, it may

　　41 be a little-known new initiative from the government which also effectively does

　　42 just that. The Individual Learning Account scheme is by the latest government

　　43 scheme to persuade us of the value of whole life-long learning. The first million

　　44 people to apply - and there appears to be a long way to go before this limit is

　　45 reached - are eligible for a ~150 grant towards the costs of studying, but provided

　　46 that they contribute at least ~25 of their own money. Even the offer covers

　　47 training courses which are obviously work-related but it also extends to more of

　　48 recreational activities. Whilst there will not be government money to encourage

　　49 you, for example, to do an evening class in the cake decorating, there could be

　　50 assistance if you are planning to update on your internet skills. There is also

　　51 the opportunity to benefit in future years from 20 per cent off the cost of training.

　　52 For IT courses, the discount goes up to 80 per cent, a measure of the government's

　　enthusiasm in ensuring we are prepared for the digital world.
