1.It was a very happy family. The life was fairly well-off. Father, Leopold, was a music master in Austria. Mother was warm-hearted. There were two children, Marianne, a schoolgirl, and little Wolfgang, a child not quite four years old. Marianne was learning to play the piano, and day after day Leopold stood behind her as she practised. How patient her father was, and how cleverly he showed Maricanne how to play some particularly difficult pieces! She was making progress, very good progress, and that was excellent. And there, almost lost in the big chair, sat Wolfgang, who never had to be told to keep quiet when Marianne"s shoulder, saying she had done well. At that moment Wolfgang climbed on his father"s knee and begged to be allowed to play the pretty piece Marianne had now mastered. What a joke that was! Picking up his baby son, Leopold laughed and said," Look at your hands. You must wait, little man !"
  There was no end of fun during tea, and Marianne had to tell her mother about Wolfgang wanting to play a difficult piece. When the meal was finished, Marianne helped to clear away the dishes.

13.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 prepare them for life. As soon as we realize this fact, we will understand that it is very important to choose a system of education which will really prepare children for life. It is not enough just to choose the first system of education one finds, or to continue with one"s old system of enducation without examining it to see whether it is in fact suitable or not.
  In many modem 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 than there are jobs for them to fill. Because of their degrees, they refuse to do what they consider" low" work; and, in fact, work with the hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.
  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 have terrible diseases in our towns. In countries where there are no servants because everyone is ashamed to do such work, scientists have to waste much of their time doing housework.
  In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to prepare for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever job is suited to his brain and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and it is very bad to be ashamed of one"s work, or to scorn someone else"s. Only such a type of education can be called valuable to society.

Education is ______.

A．a means
B．a purpose
C．fashionable
D．the first system

14.
In many modem countries, children go to school ______.

A．be free education
B．to be able to marry
C．to work for society
D．to rid, themselves of "low" work

15.
In our country, the educational purpose is ______.

A．to make children get degrees
B．to prepare children for life
C．to get everyone to live happliy
D．to choose a system of education

16.

A．the same work as
B．less important work than
C．more work than
D．as important work as

17.
"Low" work here means ______.

A．work with brains

19.Archimedes was a famous Greek mathematician and scientist. He was born around 287 BC and he died in the year 212 BC.
  Archimedes is most well-known for one specific idea that he came up with. "Archimede"s Principle" states that a solid object which is immersed in a liquid is pushed up by a force which is equal to the weight of the water that the object moves. For example, if you put a piece of wood and a piece of gold the same size in water, only the wood will float. Both the wood and gold move the same amount of water, but the wood weighs less than this water, while the gold weighs more.
  It is believed that Archimedes discovered this principle when the king of Syracuse asked him to solve a problem. The king wanted to know if his crown was pure gold or a mixture of gold and silver. The king, of course, did not melt his crown to find out. The idea came to Archimedes as he lowered himself into his bath. He noticed how the water spilled out of the tub. He decided to use the same idea for the crown. He knew that a gold crown immersed in water would weigh more than one made of silver. The experiment was done and the goldsmith was proved guilty of trying to cheat the king.

A good title for the selection is ______.

A．Archimedes
B．Archimedes" Principle
C．A gold and silver crown
D．The king of Syracuse

20.
The word" immersed" in the second paragraph means”______”.

A．lifted
B．raised
C．rose
D．under water

We drop a piece of metal into a jar full of water, the metal will float if it weighs less than ______.

A．an equal amount of silver
B．an equal amount of gold
C．all the water in the jar now
D．the water that leaves the jar

22.
From this selection we may conclude that the king"s crown ______.

A．moved less water than pure gold of the same size
B．moved more water than pure gold of the same weight
C．moved more water than pure gold of the same size
D．moved less water than pure gold of the same weight

25.From the beginning rivers have played an important part in the life of man. Man of the earliest times used the rivers as a means of travel. Today rivers still serve as a great waterway for the transport and people.
  In ancient times, man settled near rivers or on fiver banks and built up large empires.
  Water is Nature’s most precious gift to man. Man needs water to irrigate his crops, to cook and to wash. In nations all over the world rivers mean life and wealth. They feed and clothe the nations around them.
  Water is also a source of energy and power. Man constructs huge dams across the river to control the water for irrigation and get the energy needed to drive generators. The electrical power is then directed to homes, cities, factories and television stations.
  Man uses water each day. His main source of water comes from reservoirs, which in turn get their water from the rivers.
  Rivers also bring down soil and minerals from the mountains and deposit them on the plains building up rich fiver deltas for raising plants and crops. Fresh water life in rivers or in lakes fed by them provide man with food.
  In a small way rivers help to keep man in good health and provide for his amusements. Various forms of water sports keep man strong and healthy.
  Rivers have run on this earth long before man. Man’s future ability to live is uncertain, but rivers will flow on forever.
