Education is not an end, but a means. In other words ,we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them .Our purpose is to fit them for life.
　In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable(時興的）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 is very bad to be ashamed of one's work . Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.

A. education can settle all of the world's problems

　　Physics is a different world now． Will there ever be another Einstein?

　　Scientists say a new Einstein will appear, but it may take a long time． After all, more than 200 years separated Einstein from his nearest rival(對手) ,Isaac Newton．

　　Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn't been born yet, or is only a baby now． That's because the searching for a unified (統(tǒng)一的) theory that would explain all the forces of nature has pushed current mathematics to its limits． New math must be created before the problem can be solved

　　But researchers say there are many other factors working against another Einstein appearing anytime soon．

　　For one thing, physics is quite a different field today． In Einstein's day, there were a few thousand physicists worldwide, and fewer theoreticians．

　　Education is different, too． One extremely important aspect of Einstein's training that failed to consider is the philosophy he read as a teenager． It taught him how to think theoretically about space and time．

　　And he was a skilled musician． The interplay between music and math is well known． Einstein would fiercely play his violin as a way to think through a knotty physics problem．

　　Today, universities have produced millions of physicists． There aren't many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical and rewarding efforts．

　　Besides, those who stay in science don't work alone． It's very difficult to imagine an independent person like Einstein ever tolerating this．

(1)

Which of the following best explains why the next Einstein hasn't been born yet?

[　　]

A．

Education today doesn't pay enough attention to philosophy teaching．

B．

It isn't known who will be another Einstein among newly-born babies．

C．

Math today is limited and cannot help the further development of physics．

D．

There were more physicists in Einstein's time than today．

(2)

One of the reasons that made Einstein a great scientist is ________．

[　　]

A．

the lack of physicists in his day

B．

the philosophy he read in his teens

C．

learning from Isaac Newton

D．

not going to work at Wall Street

(3)

The underlined word "knotty" here probably means ________．

[　　]

A．

interesting and useful

B．

important and meaningful

C．

realistic and hard

D．

difficult and puzzling

(4)

From Paragraph 3 to Paragraph 6,how many reasons does the writer give for why another Einstein hasn't appeared?

[　　]

A．

One．

B．

Two．

C．

Three．

D．

Four．

閱讀理解

　　Commodities(日用品)are basic materials that are used and traded worldwide．The price of commodities helps determine how much a business can charge for a product and the profit it can make．Commodity prices have reached a two-year high since falling sharply during the world financial crisis．

　　Hard commodities are materials like iron ore, oil and gold．Agricultural products are soft commodities．These include wheat, cotton and rice．

　　Economic measures show the world economy is recovering．China and India, for example, have reported strong growth in manufacturing(制造業(yè))．Developed nations have had slower growth．John James, a business professor at Pace University, says demand in developing economics can push up prices for commodities like oil and iron are used for making steel．But, he says, changing currency values can also influence prices．

　　Gold prices have reached record levels in recent months．That means gold dealers must pay more for the commodity now than they did only a year ago．That affects current prices．

　　Not surprisingly, manufacturers want some control over the prices they pay for commodities．Futures(期貨)contracts are agreements between a buyer and a seller to exchange something at a set price at some time in the future．These contracts let buyers lock in a price for basic materials．But some traders in futures markets only want to make a profit．They buy or sell contracts depending on the direction they believe prices will go．These speculators(投機者)get condemned when prices rise, or fall, too quickly．The United States, Germany and France are looking into ways to limit this kind of trading．

　　Some experts say exporting commodities is not a good path to long-term economic growth．The United Nations recently reported that the least developed countries must change their economics to provide good incomes for their citizens．A UN official says the least developed countries need to cut dependence on commodities and manufacture products for export．He says only this will let them gain from world trade．

(1)

How many of the following are soft commodities?

①gold�、赾orn�、踓otton�、躨ron　⑤education�、辭il�、遞ruits�、鄏ice�、醩alt�、鈜egetables

[　　]

A．

Three．

B．

Four．

C．

Five．

D．

Six．

(2)

What is the leading factor for this round of growth of commodity prices?

[　　]

A．

The growth of gold prices．

B．

The speculators’ seeking higher profits．

C．

Growth of demands in developed economics．

D．

Growth in manufacturing in developing nations．

(3)

The underlined word “condemned” in the last but one paragraph probably means _______．

[　　]

A．

blamed

B．

killed

C．

limited

D．

tolerated

(4)

What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?

[　　]

A．

Measures to be taken by the United Nations．

B．

Solutions to this problem for developing nations．

C．

The disadvantages of high prices of commodities．

D．

How to bring down the high prices of commodities．

What the parents should do is to trust them, respect them, tolerate(寬容)them and give them chances to try and fail. They must learn to stand　 14　 . When criticisms(批評)are really needed, they should be　 15　 with praises, with a smile and a kiss. That is the way children learn.

Parents owe their children a set of solid values around　　16 　 to build their lives. This means teaching them to　 17 　 the rights and opinions of others; it means being respectful to elders, to teachers, and to the law. The best way to teach such values is by　 18 　.
