     One of the strongest arguments for the raising of the school leaving age (ROSLA) has been
that it will bring us some way nearer to "equality of opportunity".
     Many people like to think of our present system of schooling as providing plenty of steps up
the ladder of success for clever children. It wouldn't be good to think that no one who is really
bright can be missed out when the state system is obviously so complete. It is obvious, for instance,
that many children from less wealthy homes reach university or do well in other ways.
     Unfortunately, we now have plenty of proofs that many children of every level of ability do
much less well than they could. For instance, during the years of national military service it was
possible to test the intelligence of all male 18-to-20-year-old. Half of those soldiers who were
placed in the two highest ability groups had left school at 15.
     It has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to university is
almost the same now as it was in 1939. One study of 5000 children from birth to 21 years old
shows that up to half the bright pupils from working class homes left school when they reached
16 years old. Moreover, there is no difference in intelligence between the sexes, but far more
boys than girls stay in education after 16.
     It is clear from this and many other proofs that many children are still leaving school too early
to benefit from the prizes  money, social respectability, and interesting jobs which higher
education gives. It is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with
their social background. Their parents often need the extra money another money-earner would
bring in; they don't value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy.
It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather than they tend
to say, "It's up to you."
1. It is hoped that ROSLA will give all children ______.

A. a more enjoyable time at school      
B. the same chances in society
C. the right to a better school        
D. higher scores in intelligence tests

2. People would like to think that ______.
A. equal numbers of poor and wealthy children reach university
B. those with the least money get the best education
C. intelligent children are always selected by the system
D. only really clever children do well
3. Working class children are thought to be at a disadvantage because ______.
A. many of the clever ones leave school early
B. fewer go to university than ever before
C. more than half leave school when they are 16
D. fewer boys than girls stay at school after 16
4. Many children leave school early because ______.
A. their social background makes them unhappy
B. they have to give something to their family' s income
C. their school is a dull and unhappy place
D. their parents don't allow them to make their own decisions

　　For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened, and there was nothing special to do about it. Now we know that getting along with ourselves and with other people is something that we could work at. It is possible to act in such a way that other people would like us better. One way is being unselfish, not wanting everything our own way or demanding the best share of everything, including the attention of our friends. Another way is to look for good points, not bed ones in other people; it is surprising how successful this treasure hunt will be.

　　You don't have to be spineless(懦弱) in order to be popular. In fact, you will be liked and respected if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights. But do it politely and pleasantly. Being friendly and polite to your own group, to older people, to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character.

　　You cannot expect to be perfect, and so you must learn rat to be too unhappy when you make a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, and no one is to be blamed unless she refuses to learn from them. Many young people become discouraged when they recognize in themselves qualities that they do not like— selfishness, laziness and other unpleasant qualities. Just remember that we all have some of these faults and have to fight against them.

　　At the same time, it is important to remember that, while you are probably no worse than others, chances are you are rat much better, either. The surest way to be happy is to think yourself above other people.

　　When something is wrong, it is good sense to try to make it right. Perhaps you don't like a teacher or a classmate. Try to see why, and look at yourself, too, to be sure that you are not doing something to make the person dislike you. In time, things may turn out all right, then you will simply have to learn to get along the best you can with the situation, without thinking too much about it. Worrying never helps in a situation you can't change.

1．One of the two ways the author suggested for us to get along well with others is ________.

[　　]

A．to draw the attention of our friends

B．to pay more attention to other people's good points

C．to look for treasure in order to be successful

D．to demand the best share of everything

2．According to the passage, if one wants to be popular one needs to ________.

[　　]

A．be polite and friendly

B．give up some rights

C．avoid arguing with other people

D．be ready to change his or her character

3．The passage shows that there is no perfect person but someone should be blamed if he ________________.

[　　]

A．makes a big mistake

B．is very unhappy about his unpleasant character

C．is selfish and lazy

D．does not draw a lesson from his own fault

4．The passage implies(暗示) that in order to be a happy person, one should consider oneself ________.

[　　]

A．no better than others

B．as having better chances than others

C．as having something better than others

D．not the same as others

5．The purpose for the writer to write the passage is to ________.
