Sarah came running in saying, "Look what l found. " Over the top of the paper I was reading I saw a long object that made me jump. It was a piece of snakeskin that had been shed （脱皮) by one of our garden snakes.
'Isn't it beautiful?" said my wide-eyed 7~year-old daughter. I stared at the organic wrapper and thought to myself that it really was not that beautiful, but I did not want to disappoint Sarah. Everything children see for the first time is elementary to their sense of beauty and creativity. They see only merit (忧点) and excellence in the world.
"Why does it do this?" Sarah asked. I like to teach my children that there is something else going on besides what they see in front of them. "Snakes shed their skin because they need to renew themselves," I explained.
"Why do they need to renew themselves?" Sarah asked. "We often need to shed our skins, those coatings that we cover ourselves with," I said to my now absorbed daughter. "We outgrow some things and find other stuff unnecessary. This snake no longer needs this skin. It is probably too old, and the snake probably doesn't think it looks as smart in the skin as it once did. Like buying a new suit. "
Of course, I'm sure this explanation won't suit naturalists. But Sarah got the point. As we talked, I knew that she began to understand that renewal is part of progress; that we need to take a good look at ourselves, and rooms and schoolwork and creativity, and she began to see what we need to keep and what need to cast off. I was careful to point out that this is a natural process, not one to be forced.
"Snakes don't peel off their skin when they feel like it," I explained. "lt happens as part of their growth. "
"I see, Dad. " said Sarah. She then jumped off my lap, grabbed the snakeskin, and ran off.
I hoped she would remember this. Often, in order to find our real selves underneath the layers of community and culture we are cloaked (掩饰) in year after year, we need to start examining these layers. We need to gently peel some away, as we recognize them to be worthless, unnecessary, or flawed (有缺陷的); or at best, remember the things we discard（丢掉）to teach us how we can improve.
【小题1】When Sarah asked the author whether the snakeskin was beautiful,___________

A．he was shocked and jumped

B．he tried to understand her point of view

C．he thought that telling the truth was a merit

D．he decided to teach her something about the garden

D．It is natural to keep some old clothes.

【小题4】From the text, we can conclude that the author___________.

A．does not like nature much

B．takes the chilcl's feelings lightly

C．is both a logical and thoughtful person

D．loves to see his daughter excited about animals

【小题5】Which of the following could be the best title for the article?

A．The things we should cast off	B．A shed snakeskin in Sarah's eyes
C．A natural part of our growth	D．Renewal for snakes and us

Next autumn, studying for a degree in Britain will become more expensive, and the results are already clear. This week, figures from UCAS(the Universities and College Admissions service)show a 15-percent downturn in applications(申请) from this time last year. With fees having reached ￡9,000 a year, some students are beginning to consider other ways of getting higher education—including distance learning, which allows them to get a degree while still living, and earning money, at home.
That is important, because fees are only part of the picture. The National Union of Students says that UK students pay an average of ￡4,900 a year for basics such as rent, food, books, equipment, field trips and the like. If those costs can be reduced, the burden of fees will be lessened. Therefore, many people are thinking not only about what and where to study, but how—that is, whether they have to be on campus to get a degree.
Distance learning is best suited to certain subjects and to ultra-motivated(极有主动性的)student, according to Carrie-Anne Rice of Resource Development International(RDI).“The advantage is that the fee system is more flexible(灵活的), and you can have full-time work while studying, Rice says.”“You graduate three years ahead of possible competitors(竞争对手)— with the same degree, but with three years of work experience and without the debt.”
“I left school and went straight into work. But at the age of 23, I changed career and soon realized I needed a degree to advance. Because of lack of money ad time, full-time university wasn’t a good choice, but I discovered that distance learning was financially flexible and enabled me to work and gain skills from my workplace without affecting the quality of my life,” Andy Cain, a distance learning student says.
Although distance learning has many advantages, a campus-based university experience remains the dream of most school-leavers. There is no question that “being there” is not only fun, but rich in shared experience, pooled knowledge, and—perhaps most importantly—friendships that will go on long after the degrees have been awarded.
【小题1】The number of students applying to universities compared to this time last year.

A．has increased greatly	B．has decreased
C．hasn’t shown any change	D．has become zero

【小题2】Students who study on campus spend each year, on average.

【小题3】Which of the following is NOT the benefit of distance learning?

A．Lower debt levels	B．A head start on the job market.
C．Valuable friendships	D．A flexible fee system.

【小题4】Which of the following statements is TRUE?

A．The change in fees has had no effect on school-leavers.

B．Distance learning has the same advantages as campus-based learning.

C．Distance learning is so attractive that nobody wants to go to university any more.

D．Distance learning doesn’t suit all subjects or all students.

“Don’t care”— so they say—fell into a goose-pond; and “I won’t” is likely to come to no better an end. At last，my grandmother tells me that was how the Miller had to quit his native town，and leave the tip of his nose behind him.

It all came of his being allowed to say “I won’t” when he was quite a little boy. His mother thought he looked pretty when he was pouting（撅嘴），and that willfulness gave him an air which distinguished him from other people’s children. And when she found out that his lower lip was becoming so big that it spoilt his beauty，and that his willfulness gained its way twice and stood in his way eight times out of ten，it was too late to change him.

Then she said，“ Dearest Abinadab，do be better-mannered ! ”

And he replied (as she had taught him)，“I won’t.”

He always took what he could get，and would neither give nor give up to other people.

He quarreled with his friends till he had none left，and he quarreled with the tradesmen of the town till there was only one who would serve him，and this man offended him at last. “I’ll show you who’s master!” said the Miller. “ I won’t pay a penny of your bill-not a penny.” “ Sir ，” “ said the tradesman，“ my giving you offence now，is no just reason why you should refuse to pay for what you have had and been satisfied with. I must beg you to pay me at once.” “ I won’t，”said the Miller，“ and what I say I mean. I won’t. I tell you，I won’t.”

So the tradesman summoned (传唤) him before the justice，and the justice decided that he should pay the bill and the costs of the suit.

“I won’t，”said the Miller.

So they put him in prison，and in prison he would have remained if his mother had not paid the money to obtain his freedom. By and by she died，and left him her blessing and some very good advice，which would have been more useful if it had come earlier.

68. The underlined sentence in the first paragraph means “to say ‘I won’t ’ is ______.”

A. as good as to say ‘Don’t care’ B. as bad as to say ‘Don’t care’

C. less good than to say ‘Don’t care’ D. much better than to say ‘Don’t care’

69. It can be inferred from the passage that ______.

A. the mother died because the Miller was in prison

B. the Miller’s willfulness did more good than harm to his growth

C. the mother’s allowing the Miller to say “I won’t” badly influenced him

D. the Miller refused to pay the tradesman for being unsatisfied with the trade

70. The writer thinks the mother’s advice was ______.

A. late B. useless C. timely D. honest

71. What will probably be talked about after the story?

A. How the Miller saved his trade. B. How the Miller started his new trade.

C. How the Miller offended his customers. D. What made the Miller leave his native town.
