In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.In many modern countries it has for some time been fashionable（流行的）to think that by free education for all whether rich or poor, clever or stupid --- one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough: we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees, they refuse to do what they think "low" work; and in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor: we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns…In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability, and secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be unwilling to do one's work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.46. In the writer’s opinion,_________A. free education for all probably leads to a perfect worldB. all the social problems can’t be solved by educationC. education can solve most of the world’s problemsD. free education won’t help to solve problems47.

What is mainly discussed in the text?A. The type of educationB. The value of educationC. The means of educationD. The system of education50. What can we learn from the text?A. Work with hands is thought to be shameful in some modern countries.B. In all modern countries, free education has been fashionable.C. A perfect nation can solve all the problems of society.D. A professor is far more important than a farmer.BLarry Bird was born in 1965 in a small town in the Middle Western State of Indiana. He was tall, and good at playing basketball.

In early times, when men and women worked in groups to build a barn (谷仓) or harvest crops, they danced when the work was done. The music came from the violin for the most part, but if there was no one to play a musical instrument, clapping was used to produce the rhythm by which to dance. The early settlers danced in a store, in a barn, or in a farm kitchen.A square is formed by four couples who stand facing the centre of the square. Each couple stand on one side of the square, the boy on the left and the girl on the right.The caller is an important part of the dance, since he tells the dancers which steps to do. If the dancers do not know the steps, he teaches them. It takes time to learn to be a good caller, and good callers are always in demand.These are the names of some of the steps the dancers do: Form a square; Circle; Honor your partner; Swing your partner; Form a star. There are many more. As the callers tell the dancers what to do next, they move to form the pattern（图形）he calls.Large or small numbers of people can dance at one time. Sometimes 800 or 1,000 people may be dancing at the same time. Or there may be only one square of eight people.Special clothes are worn by some when dancing. This makes the dance more colorful to watch. The special clothes are different from place to place. Women often wear full skirts of various colors with a pretty blouse. Men have colored shirts and western trousers that they wear only when square dancing. In some country areas, everyone wears his best clothes.Today in some parts of the United States you will find some schools, clubs, or groups square dancing for fun.56.

For messages that need short words, the short messaging systems are preferred. In a public place, for example, it is better for people to send text messages than to talk loudly and disturb others with their conversation. It has its advantages, but sadly, there are also disadvantages.There have been several celebrities (名人）and TV shows raising the problem about accidents caused by sending or reading text messages while driving. It causes drivers to lose control or lose their concentration while driving.Text messaging may actually be more dangerous than talking while driving as it requires the driver to take his eyes off the road and onto the phone. It is a most dangerous thing to do while driving.The other disadvantage is the poor spelling habit that it develops among young people. It is natural for them to want to make a shorter form of the words so as to get it done quickly. However, they carry this through even when writing formal documents. Young people are becoming poor at spelling even simple words.Text messaging also brings about an impersonal(冷淡的) culture. People communicate with text messaging. And they say important things on their phone when they should actually be said in person.Culture changes along with its people and that is something that everyone knows will happen. What is sad is what it is turning into. Although many will argue that this kind of change is just like any other change that happened in the past, radical (激进的）in the beginning, common finally. Text messaging may be one of those but it is pretty hard to think about the time when the phone separates two people even when they are sitting side by side.61. We can know from the first paragraph that ____.A. text messaging is becoming less popularB. some people like listening to others' talk.C. people would like to make a phone call in publicD. many people prefer text messaging62. Young people cannot spell even simple words probably because _____.A. they often write formal documents.B. they often use a shorter form of the words to send messages.C. They don't work hard at their lessonsD. they only remember how to spell difficult words63. How many disadvantages does the text messaging have according to this passage?A. FiveB. FourC. ThreeD. Two64. The author's attitude towards the use of text messaging is _____.A .unconcerned B. amazed C. supportive D. worried65.
