Question

18．Rarely have I experienced a reaction like that which came about following the idea of banning private education．One of those who contacted me to disagree with the idea was 17 year old Anirudh Mandagere．He got 10 A*s at GCSE and is currently studying English，F(xiàn)rench，Math and History at a private school in Manchester．Here is his response：
For me，the idea that all private schools should be banned is not only ridiculous and unrealistic，but goes against the idea of liberty．We must have the freedom to choose between state-funded and privately educated schools．If parents pay taxes，surely they should be able to choose whether they send their children to a state-funded or a privately-funded school．
The economic impacts of abolishing private education are vast．Banning private schools would obviously contribute to a great transfer to state schools．Many state schools are already overburdened； do they really need more pupils？Abolishing private education would lead to higher taxes for taxpayers since more money would be needed to educate the 7% who were previously private educated．In the times of economic crisis，should the taxpayer need to fork out more money to pay for their education？There would also be a great rise in unemployment of the staff who works at private schools．
It is noted that，in general，private schools have better grades at GCSE and A level than state schools．Yet，why do people view this as a bad thing？The higher private school grades eventually force the government to endlessly improve state education so that the middle-classes do not totally abandon state education for private education．This competition creates reform and progress within state schools and eventually promote them!If the private schools did not exist，where would be the impetus for state school improvement？
Government should not simply ban a system which produces results．It should learn from it and use the private education model as a basis for the state education model．Abolishing a successful system will not help anybody，learning from a successful system will．
66．In the eye of Anirudh Mandagere，parents have the right toC．
A．criticize state-funded schools
B．pay taxes for the promotion of private schools
C．choose the way their children receive education
D．advocate the competition between state schools and private ones
67．According to the passage，banning private education willD．
A．obviously contribute to lower taxes
B．not cause the state schools to be overburdened
C．force the government to boost state education
D．lead to many people losing their jobs 
68．The underlined word"impetus"in the fourth paragraph probably meansA．
A．motivation         B．prevention         C．participation       D．assessment
69．Compared with state schools，private onesD．
A．educate a little fewer students                
B．conduct better than all state ones
C．are better received by the public             
D．are more competitive on the whole
70．Which of the following statements will Anirudh Mandagere agree with？B
A．His wonderful performance results from the education his private school offers．
