This was a true case of love at first sight．They got married in 1876，less than six months after they met．In 1877their first son，Jack，was born．By 1885they had five children，including their third son，Lou，who became a well-known writer．From 1900to 1915Henry and Maggie became grandparents thirty-one times．

11．For many students in the UK today，deciding whether or not to go to university can be as much about affordability as it is about ambition and aspiration．
In the past，students in the UK could apply to a university or college．They were sure that even if they came from a low income family，their tuition fees and some of their living （or maintenance） costs would be covered by a local authority grant（拨款）．A university education was，in a financial sense，open to all and the number of students attending university grew yearly．
Sadly，it seems，those days are long gone．The turning point came in 1998，when the Labour Government introduced tuition fees of￡1，000 a year and，instead of giving students a maintenance grant，asked them to cover their own living expenses with a repayable student loan．Only students on the lowest incomes were entitled to a grant．
The flood gates had been opened．As time passed，the ceiling on tuition fees rose，and although applicants from Scotland，Northern Ireland and Wales still qualified for varying levels of subsidy（补贴），by 2009/10 students in England often found themselves facing tuition fees over￡3，000 a year．
In 2011 the Government announced that，from 2012，universities could charge fees of up to￡9，000 a year．Although the Government sweetened the pillby stating that postgraduates did not have to begin repaying their student loans until they were earning more than￡21，000 a year，the news created over-dissatisfaction．Many students argued that it was unfair that students should have to begin their work life loaded with huge debt，while others complained that the changes would bring back a class divide to university education．These views were reflected in the number of students applying for a university place，which by January 2012 fell by more than 22，000．The Universities Minister，David Willetts，stood by the decision to increase tuition fees，saying that they would not"put universities'finance on a bearable footing"and that they would accelerate"a stronger focus on high quality teaching．"

C．affordability is as important as ambition and aspiration
D．ambition and aspiration make a greater difference

18．[1]William Butler Yeats，a most famous Irish writer，was born in Dublin on June 13，1865．His childhood lacked the harmony （和睦） that was typical of a happy family．Later，Yeats shocked his family by saying that he remembered"little of childhood but its pain"．In fact，he inherited （继承） excellent taste in art from his family-both his father and his brother were painters．But he finally settled on literature，particularly drama and poetry．
[2]Yeats had strong faith in coming of new artistic movements．He set himself the fresh task in founding an Irish national theatre in the late 1890s．His early theatrical experiments，however，were not received favorably at the beginning． He didn't lose heart，and finally enjoyed success in his poetical drama．
[3]Compared with his dramatic works，Yeats's poems attract much admiring notice．The subject matter includes love，nature，history，time and aging．Though Yeats generally relied on very traditional forms，he brought modern sensibility to them．As his literary life progressed，his poetry grew finer and richer，which led him to worldwide recognition．
[4]He had not enjoyed a major public life since winning the Nobel Prize in 1923．Yet，he continued writing almost to the end of his life．______________，he would probably now be valued as a minor （不重要的） poet，for there is no other example in literary history of a poet who produces his greatest works between the ages of 50 and 75．After Yeats's Death in 1939，W．H．Auden wrote，among others，the following lines：
        Earth，receive an honored guest：
        William Yeats is laid to rest．
        Let the Irish vessel （船） lie
        Emptied of its poetry．
76．What does the first paragraph mainly tell us？（no more than 9 words ）Brief introduction to his childhood．
77．Explain the underlined sentence in paragraph 2．（ no more than 10 words）His theatrical ideas were not well received at first．
78．What does the underlined word"them"in paragraph 3 refer to？（ no more than 3 words）traditional forms
79．Fill in the blanks in the last paragraph with proper words （no more than 10 words）Had Yeats stopped writing at age 58．
80．What can you learn from Yeats as a writer？（no more than 8 words）To succeed，we need faith，persistence．．
8．Around twenty years ago I was living in York．（16）Though/Although I had a lot of experience and a Master's degree，I could not find satisfying work．
I was driving a school bus to make ends meet and living with a friend of mine，for I had lost my flat．I had attended five interviews with a company and one day，between bus runs，they called to say I did not get （17）the  job．"Why has my life become so hard？"I thought （18）painfully  （painful）．
As I pulled the bus over（19）to drop（drop） off a little girl，she handed me an earring（耳环）saying that I should keep it in case somebody claimed （认领） it．The earring （20）was painted（paint ）black and said"BE HAPPY"．
At first I got angry．Then it hit me-----I had been giving all of my attention to what was going wrong with （21）my life rather than what was right!I decided then and there to make a list of fifty things I was happy with．Later，I decided to add more things to the list．That night there was a phone call for me （22）from a lady who was a director at a large hospital．She asked me （23）if/whether I would give a one-day lecture on stress （24）management （manage） to 200medical workers．I said yes．
My day there went very well，and before long I got a well-paid job．To this day I know that it was because I changed my way of thinking（25）thatI completely changed my life．
