It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail (详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.
【1】The writer doesn’t accept the opinion that ________.
A.people with better education can get better-paid jobs
B.the purpose of education is to make people get jobs
C.education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living
D.education is well-rounded
【2】The earliest education was probably to _________.
A.make a man lead a better life B.teach people to read good books
C.teach a man to write and read D.make people get a way of living
【3】It is expected that educated people will be able to_______.
A.accept education as a way of living B.learn subjects like language and math
C.take an interest in the whole world D.develop their abilities to make plays
【4】The best title of the reading should be ________.
A.The Purpose of Education
B.The Process of Education
C.The Secret of Education
D.The Beginning of Education

William Shakespeare is one of the greatest writers in English literature. His plays can be divided into three categories: histories, tragedies (悲剧) and comedies. Shakespeare wrote eighteen comedies, although two were lost. These comedies usually have happy endings and a light-hearted tone and style that are quite different from his tragedies.
All of Shakespeare’s comedies have five acts and the most important or exciting point always takes place in the third act. The hero does not appear until after other characters have talked about him. Shakespeare had some themes that he usually wrote about: the fight between good and bad, love’s great effect on people, and the difference between first appearance and a person’s true personality or face. Shakespeare also wrote his play in a certain style. For example, Shakespeare used words in such a clever and humorous way that they had more than one meaning. Some of the characters changed their appearances so that people didn’t know who they were.
Even though the tone is lighter in these plays. Comedies in Shakespeare’s day were quite different from modern-day comedies because their purpose was not to make people laugh. Shakespeare’s comedies are very emotional (有感染力的) and often include serious topics to think about.

Ray’s wedding had gone off smoothly. Everyone seemed to have had a good time. A few people had too good a time; they went home with designated (指派的) drivers. All evening, the gift table remained unguarded. Who would steal anything, Ray thought. He had never heard of such a thing happening at a wedding. But his best friend Aaron said there was a first time for everything. He strolled out regularly from the inside festivities (庆祝) to check on the gift table, making sure no one suspicious was hanging around it.
Ray and Julia went on a 3-week honeymoon to Italy right after the wedding. When they got back, they opened all the gifts and sent out thank-you notes. But there was one problem. A married couple that used to be good friends had apparently given nothing. This surprised Julia, because Walt and Mary said they were thrilled to be invited. And, they actually seemed to have had a great time at the wedding. Frankly, Ray didn’t even care if they hadn’t given a gift. He just needed to know whether to send a thank-you note. Ray called Aaron. Aaron said maybe Walt had left an envelope on the gift table like Aaron had. “Yes, but we got your envelope with the cash inside,” Ray said. “Maybe my envelope looked too thin, and some thief thought Walt’s envelope looked nice and fat.”
Aaron asked Ray if he had looked everywhere for Walt’s gift. Had he called up the wedding site to see if anything had been left behind? Ray said that he had looked everywhere and made a lot of calls that were fruitless.
Ray didn’t know what to do. If he sent Walt and Mary a thank-you note for a gift they hadn’t given, they would be insulted. If he didn’t send them a thank-you note for a gift they had given, they would get angry.
“What would you do?” Ray asked. Aaron said he would call Walt up and tell him the problem.
“You can’t go wrong with simply being honest,” Aaron said.
“Oh, yes, you can,” Ray contradicted (反驳) him. “Sometimes it’s best to let sleeping dogs lie.” But he thought about it, and finally decided that Aaron was right. He called Walt and told him the problem. Walt said that yes, he had given an envelope. In fact, the envelope contained $500 cash.
“$500?!” Ray asked. “That’s a lot of cash, Walt!” Walt admitted that it was, but he had gotten a fat raise (加薪) early that year and Ray’s was the only wedding he’d been to in quite a while. Ray thanked him very much, and apologized sincerely for someone stealing Walt’s generous gift. Walt told him that it was “only money”.
When Ray told Aaron about Walt’s gift, Aaron laughed. “The only thief at the wedding was Walt! I quit playing cards with him last year because I caught him cheating. And it was only a $10 pot! I’m sure I told you about that.”
“Yes, you did tell me,” Ray said. But, of course, he had to send Walt a thank-you note anyway.
【1】Aaron regularly went to check on the gift table to make sure that ________.
A.the guests all had a good time
B.the wedding was successful
C.no one would steal the gift
D.someone was looking after Ray
【2】The underlined word fruitless in the third paragraph refers to the calls that ________.
A.told Ray the gift had been found B.helped Ray to buy a lot of fruits
C.helped Ray to find out the thief D.told Ray nothing had been found
【3】When Aaron says “You can’t go wrong with simply being honest,” he means that ________.
A.Ray would certainly know the truth if he simply told Walt the problem
B.Ray would be wrong if he told Walt and Marry about the missing gift
C.Julia shouldn’t care too much if Walt and Marry hadn’t given a gift
D.Walt and Marry had actually given an envelope with$500 cash in it
【4】Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Walt denied that he had given an envelope with $500 cash in it.
B.Ray was not surprised when he heard what Walt had told him.
C.Ray apologized to Walt but he didn’t send him a thank-you note.
D.Aaron laughed because he knew what kind of person Walt was.

We’ve come a long way from blackboards and chalk. Modern technology (技术) has provided us with lots of ways we can make learning more interesting. Perhaps most importantly of all, it’s also more interactive (互动).
Some kinds of tools (工具) have been developed. They make the 21st century learning experience much more interactive and interesting. Attracting the attention of students is always difficult, but these tools have made a big difference in how pupils learn.
For example, an interactive whiteboard is different from a traditional chalkboard. It allows the teachers to show images and provide sound as well. If you imagine a large computer screen with colorful images and sound added in, you can see why so many pupils are drawn in by what they see and hear in a modern classroom.
Various audio (声音的) tools also help to make sure that everyone can hear what the teacher has to say. In the past, if a teacher said something that a child missed, perhaps the child was too timid (胆小的) or nervous to ask them to repeat it. Now they are less likely to miss out simply because they’re sitting too far away from the teacher to hear them.
The 21st century classroom is able to teach pupils more than one thing. For example, imagine a history lesson is given in a modern classroom. How is it different from a classroom setting in the past? The answer is simple. The students will not only learn about history itself, they will also learn how to use the modern equipment (设备) that helps the teacher get their message across.
Modern technology can make teaching and learning easier. Student response (应答) system makes everyone able to express their opinions or answers without having to speak up. Since everyone can do it, the teacher can see who needs more help in other ways.
It’s clear that this kind of classroom technology is making a great difference in modern classrooms.
【1】Modern technology ________.
A.is less interactive B.makes learning more boring
C.provides us with many better learning ways D.only uses blackboard and chalk
【2】The interactive whiteboard ________.
A.can’t attract pupils’ attention in the class
B.allows the teachers to show images and sounds as well
C.is the same as traditional chalkboard
D.is a computer screen with only black and white images
【3】How can the various what the teachers say?
A.It can only repeat what the teachers say.
B.It makes the timid students brave enough to ask teachers to repeat what they say.
C.It helps teachers to speak as much as they can.
D.It makes sure that everyone is less likely to miss what the teachers say.
【4】What can you imagine a modern classroom different from the one setting in the past?
A.Students can learn all subjects with modern technology except History.
B.Students can express their ideas more freely.
C.Teachers don’t have to be in the class.
D.Teachers have to ask students who needs more help one by one.
【5】In the last paragraph, the underlined phrase “making a great difference” means “________”.
A.playing an important role
B.making a different thing
C.not being a same thing
D.preventing us from learning

Once upon a time, there lived a generous and kind-hearted king. But, the people weren’t happy with their king because he was too lazy and wouldn’t do anything other than eating and sleeping. He spent days, weeks and months in his bed. The king became a couch potato and the people started to worry about him.
One day, the king realized that he couldn’t even move his body. He invited famous doctors from various parts of his country and offered them generous rewards to make him fit. Unfortunately, none could help the king gain his health or fitness.
One morning, a man called Rishi visited the land of the king. He heard about the illness of the king and told one minister that he could easily cure the king. Hearing these promising words, the minister became very happy.
Since he couldn’t move his body, the fat king asked the minister to bring Rishi to the palace, but Rishi refused and ordered the king to come to meet him. After a lot of effort, the king met the man. Rishi encouraged him and said he was good and very soon the king would gain his health. He asked the king to come for treatment every day from the next day on. Also, Rishi told the king that he would treat him only if he came on foot to his place.
The king was unable to walk even a few steps on the road, but accompanied by his followers, he reached Rishi’s place. Unfortunately, Rishi wasn’t available there and his friend said the king could come and meet him the next day for treatment. This was repeated for two weeks and the king never met Rishi and never had any treatment. Suddenly, the king realized that he was a lot lighter, lost a lot of weight and felt more active than before. He realized the reason why Rishi asked him to reach his place by walking.
Very soon, the king regained his health, and the people were very happy in his kingdom. The king had a lot of wealth, but no amount of wealth could make him healthy.
