5．The man was fired because he to be punctual but was late again this morning．（ ）| A． | have promised | B． | promised | C． | promise | D． | had promised |
分析 那个人被解聘了，因为他承诺按时到岗但是今天早晨又迟到了．
解答 答案：D．
根据but后面的句子but was late again this morning可知，承诺按时到达应该是发生在今早再次迟到之前，即过去的过去，所以用过去完成时．promise to do sth承诺做某事，保证做某事；be punctual准时，按时；A为现在完成时，B为一般过去时，C为一般现在时，因为全句为一个主从复合句，主句的时态为一般过去时，所以原因状语从句的时态也应该是过去时的相应时态，可排除A和C；但是承诺准时到单位和迟到不是同时发生的，排除C；故选D．
点评 本句学生易误选B，因为整个句子的三个谓语动词有两个用了一般过去时，但是没有注意到动作发生的时间是不同的，所以做题时要认真分析句意．

6．If we agree that the function of education is to prepare us for life，then there is very little time to waste．So，while we can，we ought to concentrate on teaching children something really useful．Here is what our schools should teach．
Politeness is a mark of civilization．The sooner children learn this，the better．In any case，a lot can be accomplished by a smile and good manners．
Like it or not，our adult lives will be consumed by the struggle for money，but we don't make an effort to teach children how to manage it．So our schools have a duty to teach them this ability from the beginning．
We're likely to accept something we are told，but that's not what educated people do．Educated people are reasonable and they look at facts．If our schools teach nothing else，they should at least teach critical（批判性的）thinking．
Children should learn to take care of their health．They should know that if they eat junk food（垃圾食品），they will become fat and unhealthy．They should be very clear about what happens to their bodies when they drink or smoke．
All of us are part of society．We have rights and responsibilities．We ought to understand what they are．We have to know a little bit of our history and geography，because we need to have an environment in which to relate to the people around us．
How will we test students on these？We can't．But that's not a reason to avoid teaching what is important．Our schools should spend every moment they have telling this to our children："This is life，this is what you are going to face，and this is how you deal with it．"
