One day,a beggar found a leather purse that someone(61)had dropped(drop) in the marketplace.Opening it,he discovered it contained 100 pieces of gold.Then came a shout from a merchant,"A reward!A reward to(62)whoeverhas put his hands on my leather purse!"

(37)D Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating,for when people are in poorly-lit places,they are more likely to eat lots of food.If your home doesn't have enough window light,get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.
(38)A Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites.In one study,people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33percent less than those in a yellow or red room.(39)FHowever,cold colors make us feel less hungry.So when it's time to repaint,go blue.

19.One of our expectations about education is that it will pay off in terms of upward mobility.Historically,the relation between education and income has been strong.But in the early 1970s,a contradiction developed between education and the economy.Our value of education and our average educational attainment(获得)run faster than the capacity of the economy to absorb the graduates.
Since the 1970s,high-school graduates have experienced a striking decrease in earnings,making them the first generation since World WarⅡto face a lower standard of living than their parents had.Experts have argued that this contradiction is at the heart of the problem of public education today.It is not,as business leaders claim,that the schools are failing to properly educate students,that they are turning out young people who are inadequately prepared to function in the workplace.The real problem is a shortage of economic opportunities for students who are not continuing on to college.College graduates also are having difficulty finding jobs.Even when they do,the jobs may not be consistent with their training and expectations.Part of the problem is that too many young Americans expect to have professional jobs,making disappointment and frustration unavoidable for some.
Many students assumed that what was true of an individual-that the higher the education,the better the job opportunities-would also be true for an entire society.But when the numbers of better-educated young people became too great,the economy could no longer absorb them.Another part of the problem is the assumption that greater educational attainment guarantees career advancement.In fact,employers do not routinely reward educational attainment; rather,they reward it only when they believe it will contribute to the employee's productivity.
We should not overlook the fact that there is still a strong relationship between education and occupation and income.College graduates have a strong advantage over those with less education.But the payoff is neither as large nor as certain as it once was.Unfortunately,Americans have focused so strong on the economic payoff that many consider their college education useless if it does not create a desirable,well-paying job.Only in this sense can we speak of an"oversupply"of college graduates.
We could argue that all or at least the majority of Americans would profit by some degree because higher education can enable the individual to think more deeply,explore more widely,and enjoy a greater range of experiences.

A.bringing up

C.bringing out       
 D.putting up
29.When do employers reward higher education?B
A.It offers better job opportunities.
B.It makes for higher productivity.
C.It guarantees career advancement.
D.It brings a definite advantage over others.
30.The passage mainly talks aboutC.
A.our expectations about education
B.the problem of public education today
C.the contradiction between education and economy
D.the connection between education and occupation

15.It's backtoschool time for kids across the country,but for the lucky sixthtoeighthgrade students in  Stephanie  Stephens'classroom at James L.Capps Middle School in Oklahoma City,the US,they are already off to a wizardry first few days of learning.
"One of the toughest things as a reading teacher is instilling(逐渐灌输) a love of reading in those students that do not like reading,"Stephens,a teacher of 31 years old at James L.Capps Middle School,wrote to ABC News of her magical"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"themed classroom."This year,I chose to go with a Harry Potter theme because if I am excited and enthusiastic,students tend to follow suit.My goal is to help students find at least one book or genre that they can find exciting and be as enthusiastic about as I am regarding Harry Potter."
When her kids walked into her elective reading and math classroom on the first day of school Aug.20,they were all excited to take a tour of the room-every one of them felt like they had walked straight into Hogwarts in Harry Potter.
"The majority of my students loved the potions most,"Stephens wrote.
It took the creative teacher a week to plan and order the different bookthemed items.
"I thought of everything that happened in the novel of Harry Potter and  the Sorcerer's Stone,"she explained.
"I chose to keep with only the first book regarding decorating.I made a list of things that I could decorate the room with.I thought of all the magical things Harry saw and experienced and put myself in his shoes and picked the things that I could pull off in a classroom.I never got to a broom or mirror,but I planned to add that to my room at a later time."
Stephens and her husband are such crazy fans of the Harry Potter books and movies that she says they actually"fall asleep to a Harry Potter movie every night".
She's encouraging her students to be enthusiastic about school and learning by splitting her classes up into different"houses"where they will earn"house points"for positive behavior.
"Each class is a different house and they will earn house points for different positive behavior in my classroom(5 points for a 100% on an assessment,1 point each day when a class picks up the classroom before leaving,2 points for students who bring all their supplies to class,5 points for students who are kind and help others without being asked,ect.),"Stephens wrote."Once the house points jar fills up they get a class reward."
The prefect desk will also be used to highlight her student helper for the week who assists her in the classroom with checking iPads in and out to their fellow classmates,passing out papers,collecting papers and running errands for Stephens.
"A student is chosen for the prefect desk by following our school beliefs:‘Be Safe,Be Respectful,Be Responsible,Be Prompt,'"she explained."The students are very excited about the chance to be a prefect."
The photos of Stephens'"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"themed classroom have gotten more than 10,000views since her husband posted them to Reddit.She is very grateful for all the attention that the photos of her magical classroom are receiving.However,the teacher says that she simply does what she should do for her students"because they deserve the best"."My students mean the world to me,"she added with a big smile on her face,"and I hope my enthusiasm for reading will transfer to each and every one of my kids."
