6、tary education begins at the age of six. At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian(要绝对服从的)methods o
7、f education were discredited(不被认可)rather a long time agoso much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and interested rather than giving them actual instruction.The social education of young children tries to make them accept the i
8、dea that human beings in a society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on cooperation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive: however, the need for making people socia
9、ble in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to
10、help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.16 According to the passage, the U. S. elementary education is supposed to make children_.（A）sensible and sensitive（B） competitive and interested（C） curious and friendly（D）happy and cooperative17 Some Americans complain abo

13、rned about social welfare（D）happy at school20 Newspapers are not nearly as popular today as they were in the past. There are not very many people who seriously read a newspaper every day. Most people read only the sports pages, the advice or gossip columns, the comics, and perhaps the classified adv
14、ertisements. Most people don t take the time to read the real news. Newspaper editors say that their readers are lazy. They say they have to trick people into reading the news. They attempt to catch the reader s interest with pictures and exciting headlines. These techniques are used on the front pa
15、ge because it is the first thing you see when you pick up the paper. The first page attracts attention and encourages the reader to look through the rest of the paper. This is why editors always look for a good first page story and headlines that make you stop and look. If the headline is horrible e
16、nough or frightening enough or wild enough, perhaps you will go on to read the rest of the story. Just the same, there are a lot of people who do not even read the front page anymore. They may read the headlines, but that is all. Then they turn to the sports page, or comics, or advertisements. It se
17、ems that people do not want the news from a newspaper anymore. They say they get the news on the television now.More people watch television news because it is easier and more interesting than reading a newspaper. What about you? Do you read news from a newspaper? Do you watch the news on television
18、? Do you think it easier to get the news from television? Do you listen to the radio? Or do you even not care about news at all? Would you mind if there were no news?21 According to the writer, newspapers are_.（A）more popular today（B） less popular today（C） as popular as before（D）getting more and mor

Technically, it was not a real household pet I fr
21、oze but a bag of tropical fish, which on the scale of beloved members of any home, rank somewhere below the family cat and above an attractive set of coasters. And technically, I didn t completely freeze my fish. Rather, I absent-mindedly threw them into the refrigerator with a bag of other things I
22、 had bought and fortunately found them just before my highly sensitive tropical fish could change into lightly breaded dinner fish.Nonetheless, that near-death experiencefor the fish, if not for mewoke me up to the fact that my memory might not be all it once was.In the hope of improving my memory,
23、I decided I would first try the memory books. However, much of what I read was, at first blush(一瞥), utterly forgettable.If I was truly going to juice up(活跃)my recall, however, book reading wouldn t cut it. What I needed was some kind of memory pill. The big bat in the memory-pill lineup is ginkgo bi
24、loba(银杏), the dried leaf of the maidenhair tree(银杏树), thought to improve circulation and, in theory, memory. I decided to try it. The package warned that in addition to any other problems, ginkgo can cause “mild stomach discomfort“. After just one pill, I discovered that the package washow best to p
25、ut thisnot kidding. It s hard to say if my memory improved in the little time I was on ginkgo, but I can say I had no trouble at all remembering to eat a tasteless diet for several days afterward.For me, the answer to memory problems was not in the medicine chest, but that didn t mean I was a hopele
26、ss case. My recall had improved after two weeks in the memory-improvement battle. I may not be able to read a magazine and instantly memorize it, but I now remember to buy it when I get to the store. I may not be able to memorize hundreds of names and faces, but at least I won t meet an Alex at a pa

28、memory books she read_.（A）didnt help at all（B） caused new problems（C） wouldn t work at once（D）made her problem worse28 It can be inferred from the passage that ginkgo_.（A）can improve memory（B） works after the first pill（C） can produce several side effects（D）causes mild stomach discomfort29 The write

First of all, college enrollment expansion has caused an oversupply of college graduates. In addition, it is hard for college students to put their theoretical principles into practice. Yet some non-grads are just the opposite of graduates in that they have learned practical skills and can deal with problems proficiently. What s more, keeping close contact with the society, non-grads are very clear about what the
