In the final stage she faced an interview together—with another girl. Both of them were outstanding, not only in looks but also in education.The girl was successful in the interview. It seemed that she would get the chance. At last the examiner asked her, “Can you come to the office next Monday?” Shocked by the unexpected question, the beautiful girl couldn’t make a decision at the moment, so she said, “I have to talk with my parents before I give an answer.” The examiner felt surprised but said calmly, “If so, let’s wait till you are ready.”The next day, the girl came to tell the examiner that her parents had agreed to let her begin work next Monday. But the examiner said regretfully (遗憾地), “Sorry, another suitable candidate (选手)has got the job. You had better try another place.” The beautiful girl was surprised. She asked for an explanation(解释) and was told, “What is needed here is a personwho knows her own mind.”That was how a good opportunity right under the nose of a beautiful girl ran away. 31．The beautiful girl wanted to ask her parents for advice because_________A．she didn’t like the job B．she didn’t expect the examiner would ask such a questionC．she didn’t want to answer the question D．her parents would be angry if she didn’t ask them32．We can learn from the passage that__________A．the company lost its best clerkB．no girl got the jobC．the other girl who failed at the last interview might get the jobD．the examiner was very pleased with the girl33．The examiner regarded_________as the most important.A．a person’s confidenceB．a person’s knowledgeC．aperson’sageD．a person’ s beautiful looks34．The underlined phrase “right under the nose of” probably means________A．就在鼻子下B．想要得到的C．没有把握的D．就在眼前的35．The best title for the passage above might be___________A．Make Decisions With Your ParentsB．A Successful InterviewC．Use Your Own MindD．Answer the Examiner’s Question QuicklyIt 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 inschool. 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 (有创造力的) thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements (成果) 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.36．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 37．The earliest education was probably to______.A．make a man lead a better life B．make people get a way of living C．teach a man to write and think D．teach people to read good books 38．The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “_______” in Chinese. A．圆满的B．崭新的C．全面的D．公平的39．It is hoped that educated people will be able to ______.A．take an interest in the whole worldB．develop their abilities to make playsC．accept education as a way of livingD．learn subjects like language and math40．The passage mainly tells us that _______.A．people can get education in a short timeB．education should make a man improveC．people should be able to get better paying jobsD．all subjects are so important for a way of livingDo you feel bored on your ordinary school campus? Then design oneself! Recently,students at Sacajawea Middle School, US, designed a “School of the Future”.These students were taking part in the “School Next Design” national competition. Some of their designs won the favor judges (评委) with he help of Michigan State University (MSU) students and entered the final sound.“Three eighth - grader teams from Sacajawea Middle School, here in Bozeman, need to come up with their idea of school of the future,”said MSU architecture (建筑学) student Jennisse Schule.Lots of ideas came from the students. Some wanted to build a planetarium (天文馆), some designed a movie theater. And eighth - graders Heather, Jon and Mitchell would like to have athletic buildings at their school. And they wanted lots!“So we have got our gym over here. It is a big facility (设备). It has got a weight room, an aerobics (有氧健身) room, a gym, a track and them some turf (草皮) for soccer and football,”said Mitchell.But of course, designing a building is not easy for some eight - graders. They had to learn architecture terms, the materials they needed to use and how to put the models together on a computer. Also, they needed to make a report, videos and an essay.Like Heather said, it isn’ t just about building. “It’s about community and how someone should feel and making everything a better place, a whole town or neighborhood.”The winning design will now compete in the national competition in Vancouver, Washington in spring.41．In the “School Next Design” national competition, the students _______.A．needed to do everything by themselvesB．needed to know what the judges likeC．needed to put forward some ideas of school in the futureD．needed to make some comparisons with their ordinary school42．According to the articles, Heather’s group would like to have at their school.
