阅读下面的短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中,选出最佳选项。

In July 1994 Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, was struck by 21 pieces of a comet(彗星). When the fragments (碎片) landed in the southern part of the grand planet, the explosions were watched by scientists here on earth. But what if our own planet was hit by a comet?

The year is 2094. It had been announced that a comet is heading towards the earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the earth. The news has caused panic.

On 17 July, a fragment four kilometers wide enters the Earth's atmosphere with a huge explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. But the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the spend of sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of water rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia.

Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the earth, but the north won't escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown into the atmosphere by the explosion. As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later civilization has collapsed. No more than 10 million people have survived.

Could it really happen? It has already happened more than once in the history of the earth. The dinosaur was on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a space fragment. The dinosaurs couldn't survive in the cold climate that followed and they became extinct. Will we meet the same end?

Equal Opportunities for Quality Education

It is widely accepted that human resources are playing a very important part in Chinas economic growth. Education, which greatly affects the qualities of human resources, has undergone rapid developments in recent years.

Last year, China had more than 2 million graduates from colleges or universities, and another 3.5 million graduates from vocational schools.

Despite the great developments in education, in the era of reform, lawmakers exposes and criticized many problems in the developments of education , which trouble, if not anger, the public.

One of the most glaring problems is that in Chinas vast rural areas, even the most basic education is not available to some children. And elsewhere, even if they have access, the facilities available for them are still a far cry from those in cities.

Official statistics show that at the primary stage, there are a big number of rural students who drop out of school because they do not have the money to pay their tuition fees.

At college level, there have been some big increases in tuition fees over the last few years. So, some students from rural areas have also been forced to abandon their dreams.

China has a long tradition of valuing education and Chinese parents are willing to save each and every penny to support their childrens schooling. But in a nation of more than 1.3 billion people, upholding equal opportunities in the education sector is a discouraging task.

The central government is delicated to quickening the development of the cause, It will cancel rural school fees and offer the children in poverty-stricken areas financial support so they can all enjoy the equal education and complete the nine-year compulsory schooling programme.

The unbalanced distribution of resources between rural and urban schools risks slowing down the future of Chinas vast rural areas, where two thirds of the population live.

Education is undoubtedly the long-term lifeline of citizens. Good education promotes more than personal well-being or the fulfillment of individual ambition. As individual ability grows, the nation will become stronger and more prosperous.

Equality in education is vital to the sustainability of our nations economic progress. It has a big impact on every citizens quality of life, so the government must do all it can to achieve this goal.
