9．It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs．In other words，they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don't．It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs．But this isn't accepted by all people．
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living．This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education．In fact，if education is just a way of making a living，people don't need to spend so much time in school．People can get education for a living in a short time．Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone．Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail （详细地），either．Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living．
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man．It is not only to teach him to speak，read and write，but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities．After that，it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human．Education is to make a man lead a better life．Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music，read good books，watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world．
I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education，but certainly not the most important or the main reason．

56．People with little education usualyD．
A．spend a long time in school
B．have a good chance to get a job
C．spend the best years to choose jobs

D．全面的

D．learn subjects like language and math
60．The passage mainly tells us thatA．
A．education should make a man improve
B．people can get education in a short time
C．people should be able to get better paying jobs
D．all subjects are so important for a way of living．
8．Students these days often have a lot of worries．Sometimes they have problems with their schoolwork，and sometimes with their friends．            Some people think the worst thing is to do nothing．Laura Mills，a teenager from Washington，agrees．"Problems and worries are normal in life，"says Laura．"But I think talking to someone helps a lot．If we don't talk to someone，we'll certainly feel worse．"
Laura once lost her purse，and worried for days．She was afraid to tell her parents about it．She even walked three miles to school each day because she didn't have any money．She just kept thinking．"If I tell my parents，they'll be angry!"But in the end，she talked to her parents and they were really understanding．Her dad said he sometimes made careless mistakes himself．They got her a new purse and asked her to be more careful．"I will always remember to share my problems in the future!"Laura says．
Robert Hunt advises students about common problems．He feels the same way as Laura．"It
is best not to avoid our problems．We should always try to solve （解决） them．"He thinks that you can first find someone to talk to．This person doesn't need to be an expert （专家） like himself．Students often forget that their parents have more experience than them，and are always there to help them．
In English，we say that sharing a problem is like cutting it in half．So you're halfway to solving a problem if you talk to someone about it!

40．Which of the following can be put in the blank in Paragraph One？A
A．What can they do about this？
B．Where do the problems come from？

B．the writer of the passage
C．a person with a problem                   
D．an expert on students'problems
42．What is the main idea of this passage？C
A．Few children are careful with their money．
B．Parents are more experienced than children
C．Talking to someone helps to solve problems．
D．Students often have a lot of worries at school．
7．A public primary school in New York City has stopped giving its students homework．
P．S.116Principal Jane Hsu wrote a letter to parents last month，explaining that after more than a year of analyzing （分析） studies，the school had decided that students'after-school time would be better spent on activities like reading at their own pace （步伐） and playing instead of working on homework．
Hsu's letter says that many studies show that there is no connection between homework and academic （学业的） success．Some other studies also show that the connection between homework and success is dubious at the primary school level．
Harris Cooper，a social psychologist who researches education，found that doing homework makes students perform better in school as they grew older．In later grades，students who did homework performed increasingly better than students who did not．In 2006，Cooper published a study that analyzed 15years'worth of data on the influence of homework．He found that homework had a good influence on students as they aged．
Some parents are not happy with the decision to give up homework．"I think they should have homework．I want my daughter to have fun，but I also want her to be working towards a goal，"Daniel Tasman，the father of a second-grader at the school，said to the reporter．
"Students have to do homework in order to gain．Students have to do homework because they may not be able to understand everything in school，"Sharon Blake，a student's grandmother told ABC news．

33．The passage is probably from aA．
A．newspaper
B．comedy
C．cartoon
D．novel
34．Jane Hsu wrote a letter to parents to explainC．
A．how students should read at their own pace
B．what activities students could take at home
C．why the school gave up homework recently
D．how important the homework is for students
35．The word"dubious"in Paragraph 3probably means"notA"．
A．clear
B．public
C．real
D．special
36．What can we infer （推断） according to the passage？B
A．Cooper found homework had a bad influence on students as they aged．
B．Some parents are worried about their children if there is no homework．
C．Some students are not happy with the decision to give up school homework．
D．Daniel Tasman wanted his daughter to have fun instead of working to a goal．
6．In America，when the eighth-graders leave the middle school，they are often worried about moving to the high school．It is a hard time for them，but it can be an exciting one as well．To make it easier，students need to get familiar with their school．
   Even though they've done this already in the middle school，it's still important to find where their classrooms are．Most schools take students to the high school for a visit at the end of their eighth grade year．And，most schools also have a freshman（新生） speech for parents and students before the first year begins．Sometimes the main office will give away a map of the school．This can help students and parents to find different places in the school．
One way to know your high school more and make new friends is to join a club or play a sport．Schools often offer chances to join different clubs and sports．Fall activities begin in August before the first day of school．If you are not interested in sports，there are clubs for any interest，such as drama，dance，chess，photography，community service，etc．
   Students from different grades are allowed to join these clubs．By joining an activity，students can find new friendships，not to mention improving their chances in future college applications（申请）．The school office will have a list of activities offered at the school and information on how to join them．
   What's more，to have a great start to a high school year，students can write down some of their worries，and ask for help from teachers and school workers．

32．According to the text，most students feelB when entering the high school．
A．excited

A．Summer activities begin before school starts．

C．The school clubs in high school only welcome sports fans．
D．There are fewer students from higher grades in the school clubs．
34．When do many schools take students to visit their new high school？A
A．At the end of their eighth grade year．
B．Right after the high school year starts．
C．Before the eighth grade year starts．
D．At the beginning of the new term in the high school．
35．What is the purpose of this text？C
A．To introduce new schools．
B．To give the teachers some advice．
C．To give advice to new high school students．
D．To tell the new students how to learn in high school．
5．TRAVEL STUDY--a new way to spend your holidays．Have you ever heard about i t？
●TRAVEL
When you have a travel study，you can see Big Ben，Sydney Opera House，the Statue of Liberty and many other places…I dreamed of visiting all the cities with beautiful sights．During the travel study，you may go travel yourself，with your family or your friends．
At the same time when you travel，you are in a different culture every day．You can be served with different new foods and make new friends．You read all these from books in the past，but now it is real and you are a part of it．Besides，you may also learn other cultures from your new friends because they are from different countries．
●STUDY
Maybe you already have foreign teachers in your school to teach you English．But he or she will not stay to speak English with you all the time，right？During the travel study，you have to speak it every day and almost everywhere because you are in an English-speaking country!
It also gives you a chance to let you live alone and make you learn how to live．What should I do if I lose my way in a foreign country？How can I buy what I want with my poor English？You have to be clever and you decide them by yourself．
In a word，you can get a lot from the travel study．

26．To travelers，TRAVEL STUDY meansB．
A．culture       
B．travel plus study  
C．travel         
D．study
27．Travel can help you do a lot exceptD．
A．see many places of interest          
B．try many kinds of food
C．make a lot of new friends            
D．get lost in foreign countries
28．During the travel study，youA．
A．can learn how to live by yourself      
B．have no chance to learn other cultures
C．can't improve your English           
D．will feel nothing special in foreign countries．
4．English is spoken as a first language by about 375million people and as a foreign  language by around 750million people．It is being learned by about a billion people．These numbers alone make English      to learn．If you are not fluent （流利的） in English，it may be good for you to know the advantages of learning the language．
In many countries，English is used as a working language．In the United States，English speakers make more money than those who don't speak English at all．Learning．English can increase the chance of getting a good job．
If you visit a country，you can easily find someone who can speak at least a little  English．So if'you know English，you have a chance to communicate almost anywhere  you travel．
Its not easy for parents who don't understand English to raise children in an English-speaking country．For example； if they send their children to school and the teacher does not speak their mother language，parents are likely to have difficulty communicating with the teacher．And if the children have homework they do not understand，parents cannot help them．

2．In America，the school day usually starts at 9am and finishes at about 4pm．The school subjects are different from ours．In China，we always have Chinese，math，English，PE and so on．But in America，students have more lessons．Their school life isn't just about study．They have more things to do than the Chinese students do．There are many clubs in American schools，too．If the students are interested in sports，they can join different sports clubs．American students also have art clubs，language clubs and some other clubs．From 2：30pm to 4pm，they do different things in different clubs．
Maybe you think English is very popular in the world，so American students don't need to learn any other language．But that's not true．American children from the age of seven have to learn a foreign language．For example，they learn France or Chinese．
