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. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. And it is mainly for improving a man, 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 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.People with little education usually .
| A．spend a long time in school |
| B．have a good chance to get a job |
| C．spend the best years to choose jobs |
| D．have fewer chances to get a good job |
The earliest education was probably to .
| A．make people take an interest in the world |
| B．teach a man to watch plays |
| C．make people get a way of living |
| D．teach people to read good books |
The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “ “in Chinese.
| A．圆满的 | B．崭新的 |
| C．公平的 | D．全面的 |
The passage tells us that .
| A．education is mainly to make a man improve |
| B．people can get education in a short time |
| C．making a good living is the only reason for education |
| D．all subjects are so important for a way of living |
Should we be afraid of sharks? Maybe not. New research into the reasons for shark attacks (攻击) suggests that sharks don’t like the way humans taste! In fact, most people who are attacked by the shark are still alive after receiving only one bite (咬). Why is this?
There are many opinions to explain why sharks sometimes attack people. One opinion is that sharks are just curious (好奇的). We know that sharks are the strongest animals in their environment, so they are not afraid of anything. Naturally, that means they are curious when they meet something unusual. Because they don’t have hands or feet., the only way they can find out an object is to bite it! It is thought that sharks sometimes bite humans for this reason, and then swim away.
Scientists also say that sharks would not waste energy trying to eat a human, as we have a lot of bones (骨头). It is hard for a shark to eat us because sharks don’t have hands, and they can’t pull the meat off our bones. Maybe that’s why they only bite us once. Unluckily, one bite from a large shark is serious enough to hurt people greatly!
Another opinion is that sharks attack humans by mistake. Some sharks may sometimes mistake humans for a seal. An example of this is when a shark attacks a surfer. A surfer lying on a surfboard looks like a seal when seen from below. Sharks like seals because they have thick fat.
Whatever the reason for shark attacks on humans, sharks should be afraid of us. Sadly, we kill almost 40 million of them each year.What happens to people attacked by sharks?
| A．Most of them become blind. |
| B．Most of them become deaf. |
| C．Most of them died. |
| D．Most of them are still alive. |
How do sharks find out about an unusual object according to the passage?
| A．By biting. |
| B．By smelling. |
| C．By touching. |
| D．By killing. |
Which sentence about sharks is true?
| A．Sharks pull meat off bones when they eat. |
| B．Sharks might mistake humans for seals. |
| C．Sharks like to attack surfers because of their thick fat. |
| D．One bite from a shark is nothing serious. |
What would the author（作者） write the passage mainly for?
| A．To tell surfers to stay away from sharks. |
| B．To ask people to kill sharks. |
| C．To tell us why sharks attack people. |
| D．To show that humans are much stronger than sharks. |
Mr Johnson worked well in a hospital. Three years ago, when he was sixty-eight, he retired. But a lot of people come to ask him to look them over. He’s very busy in the daytime and he wants to have a good rest at night.

As a child, I was really afraid of the dark and of getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my own room at night that scared me so much. There was never complete darkness, but always a streetlight or passing car lights, which made clothes on the back of a chair take on the shape of a wild animal. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the curtains(窗帘) seem to move when there was no wind. A very low sound in the floor would seem a hundred times louder than in the day. My imagination (想象) would run wild, and my heart would beat fast. I would lie very still so that the "enemy(敌人) " would not discover me.
Another of my childhood fears was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school. Every morning I got on the school bus right near my home. That was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the street, I was afraid that I would get in the wrong one and be taken to some other strange places. On school or family trips to a park or a museum, I wouldn't let the leaders out of my sight.
Perhaps one of the worst fears of all I had as a child was that of not being liked or accepted by others. Being popular was so important to me then, and the fear of not being liked was a serious one.
One of the processes(过程) growing up is being able to realize and overcome our fears. Understanding the things that scared us as children helps us achieve greater success later in life.The author had ________kind(s) of fears when she was a child.
| A．one | B．two |
| C．three | D．none |
_________ would scare the author at night.

| B．Wild animals and enemies |
| C．Moving curtains and wind |
| D．Strange sights and sounds |
