18．Education is not an end，but a means to an end．In other words，we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them．Our purpose is to fit them for life．
In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all whether rich or poor，clever or stupid，one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation．But we can already see that free education for all is not enough：we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees； they refuse to do what they think"low"work； and in fact，work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful．But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor； we can live without education，but we die if we have no food．If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses，we would get terrible diseases in our towns．
In fact，when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life，it means that we are educated in such a way that，firstly，each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability，and secondly，that we realize that all jobs are necessary to society，and that it is very bad to be ashamed of one's work．Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society．

17．When I was 12，all I wanted was a signet （图章） ring．They were the"in"thing and it seemed every girl except me had one．On my 13th birthday，my Mum gave me a signet ring with my initials （姓名首字母） carved into it．I was in heaven．
What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn't being"replaced"．We'd been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything-so most of the"new"stuff （东西） we got was really just to replace what we'd lost．But not my ring．My ring was new．
Then，only one month later，I lost it．I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning．I was sad and searched everywhere for it．But it seemed to have disappeared．Eventually，I gave up and stopped looking for it．And two years later，we sold the house and moved away．
Years passed，and a couple of moves later，I was visiting my parents'when Mum told me that she had something for me．It wasn't my birthday，nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other gift-giving occasion．Mum noticed my questioning look．"You'll recognize this one，"she said，smiling．
Then she handed me a small ring box．I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside．The family who had bought our house 13years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations，which included replacing the carpets．When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom，they found the ring．As it had my initials carved into it，they realized who owned the ring．They'd had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother．And it still fits me．

16．In 1978，I was 18and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270km away from Sydney，Australia．I was looking forward to having five days off from duty．Unfortunately，the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left．So I thought I'd hitch a ride （搭便车）．I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me．Finally，a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon．He said that although he couldn't give me a lift，I should come back to his house for lunch．He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry．I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使…放心）me I was safe，and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards．When we arrived at his house，he made us sandwiches．After lunch，he helped me find a lift home．
Twenty-five years later，in 2003，while I was driving to a nearby town one day，I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat，trying to hitch a ride．I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I'd been given decades earlier．I pulled over and picked him up．I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water．
After a few moments of small talk，the man said to me，"You haven't changed a bit，even your red hair is still the same．"I couldn't remember where I'd met him．He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago．It was Gordon．

14．Planning your holiday？Whether you're going to Yunnan or UK，it's important to make sure you're well-prepared．Here's a handy checklist to help you．
Location
The first thing you have to decide is where you want to go．Of course a lot will depend on your time and budget．Do you want to relax on a beach，visit some famous landmarks，or hike through some beautiful scenery？All these things are available in China，but if your budget stretches，why not look at somewhere else in Asia，or even farther．
Packing
There can be such a thing as being over prepared when traveling，but you don't want to forget something important．It can be a good idea to wear pants with zipped pockets．In certain countries local thieves will target unsuspecting tourists for their money．It can also be worth packing some basic medical supplies．If you are going to be moving around a lot，buy a good backpack．Finally，remember to pack clothes that are going to be suitable for the weather．
Accommodation
There are several things to consider when picking where you want to stay．Location is often the most important．When staying in hotels，it is often a good idea to book your first night in a new city．After all，you will not be familiar with the surroundings and will want somewhere to leave your luggage．However，don't spend more than a couple of days at the same hotel．When you get to a new place，you might soon discover there's somewhere better to stay．
Don't forget
The key to a good holiday is detail．When you're traveling，especially in a foreign country，don't forget to change some money before you leave．If you're traveling somewhere tropical，you might need some injections or pills to avoid disease．And it's always worth taking out travel insurance，just in case you find yourself in a spot of bother during the trip．Don't forget to check the exchange rates．The strong yuan has made traveling abroad cheaper recently．It can also be a good idea to write down the phone number of the closest Chinese embassy，in case you need help while abroad．

13．Many  of us enjoy doing it：you turn on the camera on your mobile phone and hold it at a high angle，making your eyes look bigger and your cheekbones more marked out．You turn to your best side and click．
There it is-your selfie．
Over the past year，"selfie"has become a well-known term across the globe．Last August the Oxford dictionary added the word to their online dictionary and defined it as："A photograph that one has taken of oneself，typically with a smart phone or webcam and uploaded to a social media website．"
Today it's not difficult to find social networking pages full of photos people have taken of themselves and their friends．And selfie culture has become especially related for young people．As many as 91percent of teenagers have posted photos of themselves online，according to a recent survey by the US Pew Research Center．
So what are the reasons for the rise of selfie culture？
"The craziness about the selfie celebrates regular people，"Pamela Rutledge，a professor at the Massachusetts School of Professional Psychology，told Vogue magazine．"There are many more photographs available now of real people than models．"
Posting selfies also allows you to control your image online．"I like having the power to choose how I look，even if I'm making a funny face，"Samantha Barks，19，a high school student in the US，told Vogue．
In addition to self-expression and documentation （记录），selfies"allow for a close friendship for long-distance friends，because you can see each other's faces every day"，wrote Casey Miller at The Huffington Post．
But US psychologist Jill Weber is concerned that selfies might lead to social problems．"There's a danger that your self-esteem （自尊心） may start to be tied to the comments and‘likes'you get when you post a selfie，and they aren't based on who you are-they're based on what you look like，"Weber told Vogue．"When you get nothing or a negative response，your confidence can decrease．"

61．Why does the writer mention the fact that"selfie"was added to an online dictionary？C

12．Every year during the graduation famous people will talk to thousands of students and their parents．But this time something strange has happened．Each of the big-name speakers seems to speak of the same topic； they are all telling graduates to make the world a better place．
So there was Arianna Huffington at Smith College saying"what I advise you to do is not just take your place at the top of the world，but to change the world．"The actress Kerry Washington told students at George Washington University："The world needs your voice，every one of you．"And then this，from Jeff Immelt，head of General Electric，at the University of Connecticut："Graduates should be optimistic； believe in better．The world waits for your power．"
Anyone can know what the famous speakers said is meaningless．The world has 7billion voices to listen to already---it won't matter about one more or less．Neither is it clear why graduates should be especially optimistic，especially at the moment．The world doesn't wait for their power； only a small number of people will get the chance to lead anything．
Only Barack Obama in his address（演讲） at Morehouse College avoided encouraging anyone to change the world．That is because he alone knows how hard it is to change it----even if you happen to be President of the United States．Not only has he failed to change the world，he can't even get people to give up guns in his own country．
Instead of aiming so impossibly high，the graduates of 2014would do better to start a bit lower．When they leave their universities it will not"Hello world!"but"Hello again，Mum and Dad!"So what Ms Huffington，Mr．Obama and Mr．Immelt ought to have said was：change the world if you must，but it would be nice if you could help out by changing the bag in the rubbish basket first．
They should then have followed up with the importance of hard work．Graduates need to change their employment attitude．They need jobs．Sadly on commencement addresses（毕业典礼） no one tells them that even a bad job is better tan none at all．

56．The author mentions what the three famous people said in the second paragraph toA．
A．show that the topics of their addresses are the same
B．report how honest their addresses were
C．report the meanings of their addresses
D．show his suggestion on their addresses

A．The world has 7billion voices to listen to．
B．Graduates should be especially optimistic．
C．the words that the famous speakers said have no meaning．
D．The world doesn't wait for graduates'leadership．
58．Why did Barack Obama avoid encouraging the graduates to change the world？B
A．because he is the president of America．
B．Because he knew changing the world was not easy．
C．Because he didn't get Americans to give up guns．
D．Because he thought the world was already perfect．
59．What is the author's attitude towards what big-name speakers said？C
A．Supportive． B．Surprised．
C．Negative（否认的） D．Respectful．
60．What might be difficult for the graduates according to the author？D
