Several days ago, I was walking home from school and saw some writing on the fence of a house I was passing by. It said, “Happiness is a direction, not a destination (终点).” I had been having a bad day and just reading this brightened my day a little. I also took out a pen and wrote one of my favorite quotes (格言) down.
When I came back to the fence, I saw another quote under mine in the handwriting as the first one. I added another, and we kept at this pattern for quite a while. One day, I was writing another quote on the fence and the old man, one of my neighbors, who owned the fence, saw me. He came out and I was afraid he would be mad at me for writing on his fence; he was not known to be very friendly. He gave me a sharp glance and then read the quotes on the fence. Without saying a word, he said something to himself and then went back inside. I was a bit terrified for a while, afraid to go back to the fence, but when I did, I noticed not more quotes but two words in entirely different handwriting had been added, “Thank you.”
Later, I saw the old man in his front yard. He beckoned (召唤) me over and told me how my quotes had been inspiring him, how he thanked me and how he was glad to see young people still have “values”. We are now good friend and I talk to him a lot. This experience has changed my life. I still don’t know who wrote that very first quote, but if he is out there, I’d like to say “thanks” to that unknown friend.
33. Why did the writer begin to write a quote on the fence?
A. He wanted to practice his handwriting.
B. He had gotten some help from the quote.
C. He thought doing this was interesting.
D. He wanted to catch his neighbor’s attention.
34. Why was the writer afraid when he found that his neighbor had seen him?
A. He had thought that the old man was a mad person.
B. he had once been told the old man was cold-hearted.
C. He thought the old man would scold him for what he had done.
D. He thought the old man would tell his parents about his action.
35. Who must have added “Thank you.” to the fence?
A. The old man.
B. Someone else.
C. The writer himself.
D. That unknown friend.
36. We can learn from the passage that __________.
A. writing quotes on fences is a good idea
B. the writer has written three quotes on the fence
C. the good relationship between neighbors is very important.
D. the old man has changed his opinion about young people.
D
Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we don’t educate children only for the purpose (目的) of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.
In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable 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 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 brain and ability, and secondly, we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is vey bad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.
37. The writer of the passage thinks that ____________.
A. education can settle most of the world’s problems
B. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world
C. free education won’t help to solve social problems
D. all the social problems can’t be solved by education
38. The writer wants to prove that ____________.
A. our society needs all kinds of jobs
B. our society needs free education for all
C. a farmer is more important than a professor
D. people with university degree refuse to do what they think “low” work
39. The underlined words “be ashamed of” in the passage means _________.
A. 为……感到害羞 B.为……感到耻辱
C. 为……感到荣耀 D.为……感到鼓舞
40. The purpose of education is __________.
A. to choose a system of education
B. to prepare children mainly for their future work
C. to let everyone receive education fit for him
D. to build a perfect world

Dear John,
Thank you for your letter. I hope I can offer you some useful advice. It seems that you worry about your study too much.
First you should learn how to relax yourself. I think doing more sports is good for your health. Listening to music is also a good way to relax. And I think it’s necessary to have healthy eating habits. Please remember to have breakfast every morning. It can give you enough energy to study for the whole morning. You’d better go to bed early and have enough sleep. It will keep you active during the day. Finally I think you should talk with your friends, parents or teachers often. Tell them about your thoughts and feelings. Try to get help from them.
I hope you think my advice is worth taking. And I hope you can stay in good spirits and study better.
Best wishes,
Sigmund Friend
