And from families known to them, a form of favouritism will replace equality．At the moment, the bright child from an ill-respected school can show certificates(毕业证） to prove he is suitable for a job, while the lack of certificate indicates the unsuitability（不合适）of a dull child attending a well-respected school．This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his school's reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child form the favoured school． The opponents（反对者）of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils．According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class．They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection．The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer． 1.The underlined word "favouritism" in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that ___． A．bright children also need certificates to get satisfying jobs． B．children from well-respected schools tend to have good jobs C．poor children with certificates are favoured in job markets D．children attending ordinary schools achieve great success 2.What would happen if examinations were taken away according to the author?
