The young people concer

18、ned usually favored love, and their parents usually favored money. In the novels of the period the dilemma was felicitously (巧妙地) solved by the discovery, (37) the last page (38) the apparently penniless heroine was really a great heiress. But in real life young men (39) hoped for this denouement (结

19、局) were apt to be disappointed. Prudent parents, (40) admitting that their daughters should marry for love, took care (41) all the young men they met should be rich. This method was sometimes very successful; it was adopted, for example, by my maternal grandfather, who had (42) romantic daughters, n

20、one of (43) married badly.In these days of psychology the matter no (44) looks so simple as it did eighty years ago. We realize now that money may be the cause, or part of the cause, of quite genuine love; of this there are notable examples in history. Benjamin Disraeli, (45) became lord Beaconsfiel

21、d, (46) in his youth, poor and struggling and passionately ambitious. He married a rich widow, much (47) than himself, and (48) by the world to be rather silly. Owing (49) her, he was able to make his career a success. A cynical world naturally assumed that he loved her money (50) than he loved her,

22、 but in this the world was mistaken; through out the whole of their married life he was deeply and genuinely devoted (51) her. I do not suppose he would have loved her if she had been poor when he first knew her, but the gratitude which he felt for help (52) he owed to her kindly interest in him eas

23、ily developed into a sincere affection. A great deal of affection is based upon the fact that its object is a help in (53) the purposes of the person who feels it. Men in whom ambition is the leading passion are likely to love women (54) assist them (55) their career, and it would be very shallow ps

That was me in 1940 - the youngest and smallest baggage boy at New York Citys Pennsylvania Railway Station.After just a few days on the jo

29、b, I began noticing that the other fellows were overcharging passengers. Id like to join them, thinking,“ Everyone else is doing it.“When I got home that night, I told my father what I wanted to do. “You give an honest days work,“ he said, looking at me straight in my eyes. “They are paying you. If

30、they want to do that, you let them do that.“I followed my fathers advice for the rest of that summer and have lived by his words ever since.Of all my jobs Ive had, it was my experience at Pennsylvania Railway Station that struck with me. Now I teach my players to have respect for other people and th

31、eir possessions. Being a member of a team is a totally shared experience. If one person steals, it destroys trust and hurts everyone. I can put up with many things, but not with the people who steals. If one of my players was caught stealing, hed be gone.Whether you are on a sports team. in an offic

36、re expulsed (开除) from U.S. schools last year for bringing guns and bombs to school, the U.S. Department of Education said on May 8. The department gave a report to the expulsions as saying handguns accounted for 58 percent of the 6,093 expulsions in 2003-2004, against 7 percent for rifles(步枪) or sho

37、tguns and 35 percent for other types of firearms. “The report is a clear sign that our nations public schools are cracking down(严惩) on students who bring guns to school,“ Education Secretary Richard Riley said in a statement. “We need to be strong-minded about keeping guns out of our schools and do

38、everything to keep our children safe. “ In March 2004, an 11 years old boy and 13 years old boy using hand-guns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas. In October, two were killed and seven were wounded in a shooting at a Mississippi school. Two months la

39、ter, a 14 years old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Dasucah, Kentucky. Most of the expulsions, 56 percent, were from high schools, which have .students from about age 13. 34 percent were from junior high schools and 9 percent were from elementary schools, the report said.（分

40、数：4.00）(1).From the first paragraph we can infer that in the U.S. schools_. A. students enjoy shooting B. students are eager to be soldiers C. safety is a problem D. students can make guns（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The report from the U. S. Department of Education shows that_. A. the number of the expulsi

41、ons is not large B. the number of the expulsions is wrong C. there are soldiers hiding among the students D. guns are out of control in U.S. schools（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The main idea of the second paragraph shows us_. A. some examples of shooting in U.S. schools B. the Americans feeling C. some famo

42、us schools D. that some teachers were killed by students（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(4).From this passage we know that_. A. every American cannot have guns B. only soldiers and police can have guns C. every American citizen can own guns D. teachers have no money to buy guns（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.COne of the stronges

43、t arguments for the raising of the school leaving age ( often referred to by its initials , ROSLA ) has been that it will bring us some way nearer to the ideal of “equality of opportunity.“Many people like to think of our present system of schooling as providing plenty of steps up the ladder of succ

44、ess for clever children. It would be good to think that noone who is really bright can be missed out when the state system is apparently so thorough. It is obvious, for instance, that many children from less wealthy homes reach university or do well in other ways.Unfortunately we now have plenty of

45、evidence that many children of every level of ability do much less well than they could. For in- stance, during the years of national military service it was possible to test the intelligence of all malelS-20 year olds. Half of those soldiers who were placed in the two highest ability group had left

46、 school at 15.It has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to university is almost the same now as it was in 1939. Onestudy of 5 000 children from birth to 21 years old indicated that up to half the bright pupils from working class homes left school when they reached 16

47、 years old. Moreover, there is no difference in intelligence between the sexes, but far more boys than girls stay in education after 16.It is clear from this and much other evidence that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit from the prizesmoney, social respectability, and inte

48、resting jobswhich higher education gives. It is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with their social circumstances. Their parents often need the extra money, another wage-earner would bring in; they do not value education for itself because their own was probably dull

49、 and unhappy. It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, “Its up to you./（分数：4.00）(1).It is hoped that ROSLA will give all children _.A. a more enjoyable time at schoolB. the same chance in societyC. higher scores in intelligence testsD. the right to go to better schools（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).People would like to think that _.A. those with the least money get the be
