Mr. Smith’s umbrella was stolen(被偷)when he left it at the gate of the City Church. As his aunt gave him the umbrella as a birthday present, he wanted very much to get it back. So he decided to advertise(登广告)in the newspaper. He hoped he would get it back in this way. Three days passed but no one returned it.

When his friend learned this, he asked Mr. Smith to advertise again like this. “If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday morning does not wish to get into trouble, he must return the umbrella to No.108,Broad Street.”

This came out in the newspaper, and on the next morning Mr. Smith was very much surprised when he opened the front door. By the door lay twelve umbrellas of all colors, and among them was his umbrella. Many of the umbrellas had notes with them saying that he took the umbrella by mistake and asking the owner not to say anything about the matter.

阅读下面短文,然后从其后各题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。
        I've refused to allow my step son Jim to go to university because it will be too expensive and a waste
of time. People think I'm selfish or not kind-hearted. But I don't feel sorry for that, and I think more parents
will be coming around to my way of thinking. Britain's universities are failing to serve either the country or
our children. It's about time we voted (投票) with our feet.
        I can't remember when I began to change my mind on education. Like a lot of middle-class parents,
we had believed that going to university was what your children did. It's one of the reasons (理由) we offered
more than $ 100,000 in fees (学费) for Jim to go to a private (私立) school rather than a free public one.
Education is more important than nice cars, new kitchens or skiing holidays.
        Jim is a young boy of whom any parent would be proud. He's clever and helpful; he's good at things like
hanging pictures and mending doors; he can get on well with other kids. But he's shown little interest in study.
        It's not Jim's intellect (智力) that's the problem-after he entered the school he was asked to sit an exam
but an in-built reluctance (勉强) to do any more work than necessary to get by. We've tried everything to make
him work harder. None of it has worked. For his final exams, Jim got a D and two Es. Even allowing for our
low expectations (期望), this came as a surprise to his mother and me.
         "Surely," I said to one of Jim's teachers, "the only subject Jim would get on with such poor grades would
be the kind of subject that wouldn't be worth doing anyway."
         "Not at all," the teacher answered, as if speaking to a dinosaur. He read out the names of a lot of univer-
sities I'd never heard of, saying they'd all be fit for Jim. 
         It was at this point I realized how far away I was from today's education. I knew that, since I was at
school in the early 1980s-when a student with such poor grades as Jim's would not have been allowed to go to
any university-the population in the UK going on to higher education has gone up from 14% to a surprising 44%.
1. The reason the writer won't let Jim go to university is that _________.
[     ]
A. the family is too poor to send Jim there
B. there are few universities in the UK
C. Jim won't be allowed to go to university
D. it's a waste of time and money to do so
2. What's Jim's main problem?
[     ]
A. He is so slow that he can't learn anything.
B. He is interested in anything except study.
C. He doesn't want to use his head at school.
D. He never likes working hard and being busy.
3. What is the teacher's idea in the passage?
[     ]
A. He thinks the writer should encourage Jim to go to university.
B. He is sure most universities will certainly refuse to take Jim.
C. He is sure Jim's father is too old to understand today's education.
D. He thinks education in the UK has changed a lot in the past years.
4. From the passage we can infer(推论)_________.
[     ]
A. some people can't follow the steps of the country
B. many young people don't go to university in the UK
C. parents are usually strongly against higher education
D. education in the UK is becoming worse and worse
