    　40　by Emily’s selflessness, I decided to contribute　41　of my old bicycles to a car dealer who was collecting used bikes for poor children.　42　I selected a shiny model from my collection, however, it seemed as if a second bike took on a glow（發(fā)光）.Should I contribute two? No, one would be enough. But I couldn’t 　43　the feeling that I should give a second bike. When I later　 44　the bikes, the car dealer said, “You’re making two kids very　 45　, sir.

  Education is an expensive part of American life.  Its size is matched by its variety.  Differences in American schools compared with those found in the majority of other countries lie in the fact that education here has long been intended for everyone. Schools are expected to meet the needs of every child, regardless of ability, and also the needs of society itself. This means that public schools offer more than academic subjects. It surprises many people when they come here to find high schools offering such courses as typing, sewing, radio repair, computer programming or driver training, along with traditional academic subjects such as mathematics, history, and languages.  Students choose their courses depending on their interests, future goals, and level of ability. The basic goal of American education is to develop every child to the utmost of his or her own possibilities, and to give each one a sense of community.

     Schools have traditionally played an important role in creating national unity and “Americanizing” the millions of immigrants who have poured into this country from many different backgrounds and origins. Schools still play a large role in the community, especially in the small towns.

  The teaching may seem unfamiliar to many, not only because it is informal, but also because there is not much emphasis on learning facts. Instead, Americans try to teach their children to think for themselves and to develop their own intellectual and creative abilities. Students spend much time learning how to use materials, libraries, statistics, and computers.Americans believe that if children are taught to reason_well and to research well, they will be able to find whatever facts they need throughout the rest of their lives.  Knowing how to solve problems is considered more important than the accumulation (積累) of facts.

    This is America’s answer to the searching question that thoughtful parents all over the world are asking themselves in the fast－moving time, “ How can one prepare today’s child for a tomorrow that one can neither predict nor understand？”

 

59. The underlined words “reason well” probably means __________.

   A. persuade firmly             B. list the reasons clearly

   C. think logically               D. conclude immediately

60. It is implied in the passage that  __________.

   A. all high－school students take the same courses

   B. every student must take practical ability training courses

   C. every public school offers the same academic subjects

   D. the subjects every student takes may vary

61. American schools place great emphasis on the learners’ __________.

   A. knowledge                  B. accumulation of facts

   C. creativity                    D. ability to work with hands

62. What makes American education different from others’？

   A. The large number of schools.           B. The variety of the courses.

   C. Its consideration for immigrants.      D. The basic goal of the education.

In the Lincolnshire village of Burgh-le-Marsh there was once a large area of land called Bell String Acre. It got its name, the local legend tells, because of a narrow escape. On a dark winter's night early in the seventeenth century, they say, a ship's captain was guiding his ship to pass along this difficult distance of coast when he suddenly heard church bells. “If I can hear those,” the captain reasoned, “then I must be far too close to shore for comfort.” Swiftly he changed his position, thus saving himself and his ship. To show his thanks, he soon afterwards bought a piece of land at Burgh-le-Marsh. Rent on this Bell String Acre, he ordered, should go toward the maintenance of the church bell's pull-rope, so that it might ring out its helpful warnings, he required firmly, “for ever.”

Another less charming story tells how the townspeople refused to ring the bell, for they all relished the idea of stealing goods from shipwrecks, but that a minister ran to the tower and rang the bell. His brave act saved the ship, but then the minister died of extreme tiredness. (And then it is said, the grateful captain married the clergyman's daughter.)

In any case, the captain’s request is honored all winter long in Burgh-le-Marsh. Beginning every October 10, the bell rings nightly at 8 p.m. April 7 is the last night of the bells―that is, till the next October.

 

58. What does the first paragraph mainly tell us?

A. Where Bell String Acre is.

B. A story about a brave captain.

C. The origin of Bell String Acre.

D. It is dangerous to sail along the coast.

59. It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.

A. it was very cheap to buy a piece of land in Lincolnshire

B. The church in Burgh-le-Marsh was very close to the coast

C. The townspeople refused to ring the bell because of lack of money

D. The church couldn’t afford to keep the bell’s pull-rope in good condition

60. The underlined word “relished” in the second paragraph probably means ______.

A. preferred                    B. disliked      C. competed                    D. warned

61. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. There was no way that the minister would attend the captain’s wedding.

B. Bell ring from the church warned the ship of its dangerous course.

C. There was no bell at night for the sailors for about half a year.

D. The Minster’s daughter was forced to marry the captain.
