题目内容
Years ago while lying in my hammock(吊床)and drinking JD from the bottle, I noticed my dog dragging something under the fence. Upon inspection, to my disappointment, I realized it was the next door
neighbor's 10yearold daughter's rabbit. For years I had watched her come home from school and head
straight out to its cage, free it and play with it in the yard. I knew that day would be no different and fearing for our dog, I had to think fast.
The rabbit was quite dirty, as if it had put up quite a struggle, so I washed it, combed it with the dog
brush and blew it dry with the leaf blower. Upon finishing its grooming I jumped the fence and replaced it
back in its cage hoping its death would be written off as "natural caused"．
Back to the hammock and JD. Within the hour the neighbor's Volvo palled in as usual and out popped
the little girl, and as usual she headed straight for the cage. Only this time she stopped about six feet away
and screamed: "D－A－D－D－Y!!!"
Her father, panicstricken, stood looking at the cage. Being the good neighbor that I am, I rushed to
fence and asked if there was anything I could do.
Her father less than calmly shouted, "What kind of sick individual would dig up a little girl's rabbit and
put it back in its cage?"
B. the rabbit was too clean
C. the dead rabbit was cleaned and put back into the cage
D. the rabbit was asleep in the cage
B. because she had a habit of going there to see her rabbit
C. because she wanted to see her rabbit again
D. because the rabbit was dead
B. was already dead before the writer saw his dog dragging it
C. was in the cage playing with the dog
D. was at the fence seeking out for food before it was killed by the dog
B. did a smart thing
C. was honest
D. made a mistake

The book, which received wide media coverage in China and now has a waiting list for its second print run, is certainly timely: it plays into a growing debate in China about what national universities should be teaching. The country needs a workforce with the skills and creativity to help move away from low-cost manufacturing and, in economic terms, move up the value chain. And some educators believe liberal-arts training is vital to help China deal with its increasingly complex new realities. Yet the well-known intellectual historian Xu Jilin believes that China’s rapid expansion of higher education has had a detrimental effect on curriculum as the country’s universities race to compete globally. “Education these days in like factory-farming chickens,” he says. “Universities all wan to get into international rakings—and most of these depend on research. They’re not interested in providing a unique education for our kids.”
