In other words, we do not educate children1for the purpose of educating them; our purpose is to fit them for life.2we realize this fact, we will understand that it is very important to 3a system of education which will really prepare children for life.In many modern countries it has for some time been accepted that, by free education for all-whether rich or poor, clever or stupid one can solve 4of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not 5: we find in such countries 6people with university degrees than 7jobs for them to do. Because of their degrees, they refuse to do8low work.But we have only to think9to understand that the work of a completely uneducated10is far more important than11: we can live12education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns. In countries where there are13because everyone is ashamed(感到羞耻的) to do such work, the scientists have to waste much of their time doing14.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit15for life, it means that we must be educated16that each of us can do whatever job17him, and that we can realize that all jobs are 18to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed to do ones work, or to laugh at19.

Four years ago, she bought her hiking shoes and started to hike. Two years after that she began to imitate the difficulties of the nine-day hike with a weighted backpack. Last summer, she booked her tour. In February, she climbed to the very top of the mountain. If it wasnt for her bucket list, Mirgain says she might never have known the pleasure of standing at top of one of the worlds most famous mountains. Bucket lists are helpful in that they are a way of listening to your inner wisdom(智慧). She say, Its so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day jobs, to-do lists, doing chores and the likeyou may not see your inner need.One study found that participants who wrote down their goals finished more than those who didnt. Other positive psychology research suggests that finishing goals like that is important for a satisfying life. For Mirgain, who added Kilimanjaro to her list after receiving a postcard sent from the mountain by a group of women she had met who were climbing it, it wasnt so much the act of writing down her bucket list that helped her stick to it, as it was keeping it someplace noticeable. I keep pictures of my top bucket list things on my fridge, she says, When I finish something I take that photo down and put it on another board in my home, along with a photo of myself at that place.Mirgain said excitedly. Its great to finish your bucket list. she says, To work toward something you wanted to experience or achieve gives you a confidence and can change your opinion of the world.（1）In order to achieve her goal, Shilagh Mirgain_. A . toured many placesB . had years of preparationC . missed many important thingsD . spent a lot of money on the things needed for the hiking（2）Why should we make a bucket list? A . It makes our work in order.B . It helps others notice our intelligence.C . It encourages us to follow our heart.D . It can keep us away from daily chores.（3）What is especially important for Shilagh Mirgain to stick to her goal? A . Joining a group.B . Her unshakable confidence.C . Getting reminded of her goal often.D . Encouragement from like-minded women.（4）What is the text mainly about? A . The life story of a great woman.B . How to have great achievements.C . Why we should listen to our inner wisdom.D . The importance of making a bucket list.18. （8分）阅读理解 For some students, getting better grades can seem like an impossible task sometimes. With the challenges(挑战) of school, just paying attention in class or studying hard isnt always enough. But what if there were other ways for students to improve their grades? For parents and students who have ever wondered if this is possible, now you can rest easy. Research suggests that a person who likes doing activities can improve their grades.Scientists think that those students who are active are not just exercising their bodies, but also exercising their brains(大脑). In turn, they can be able to improve their grades at school. In the most recent study, researchers found that when children played for half an hour each day, they were better at organizing(组织) their schoolwork as well as doing project work and learning traditionally “difficult” subjects, such as maths.What does this mean for children who arent active? Researchers think that if kids dont get enough activities, they are going to be at a disadvantage when it comes to school performance.In the research experiment, a group of children skipped with ropes(跳绳), played basketball and did a number of other games or exercises. Another group of children didnt do any activities. They took part in testing both before experiment and after the experiment. Testing was mainly for maths and reading skills. Results showed that the children in the activity group did better on the tests than those who had no activity.All work and no play will not only make Jack a dull(迟钝的) boy, but will also negatively(消极地) affect his grades in school, according to a new study published in the Journal of Pediatrics.Parents complain(抱怨) children today are actually less active and they always worry about their grades. Dr. Belton, an expert, said, “If youd like to see your kids do better in school, have them close their books, set down their pencils and go outside to play.”（1）What does the underlined words rest easy in Paragraph 1 mean? A . Stop worrying.B . Keep working.C . Continue learning.D . Study hard.（2）What kind of children is better at organizing their schoolwork in the most recent study? A . They study all the time.B . They play for half an hour every day.C . They finish their homework on time.D . They do some reading after class every day.（3）In Paragraph 5, what does the research experiment want to show us? A . Doing activities is bad for the students.B . Doing more homework can get better marks.C . The children in the activity group did better on the tests.D . Children who didnt do any activities did better on the tests.（4）To help children get better grades, parents should _. A . ask the researchers for helpB . help them to organize their schoolworkC . encourage them to do more activitiesD . let them solve problems by themselves（5）What is the best title of the passage? A . Studying hard.B . Taking part in testing.C . Doing activities is interesting.D . Being active is helpful for better grades.19. （8分）阅读理解 Squirrels (松鼠) are getting ready for winter. They are looking for nuts and seeds, digging holes in the ground or finding holes in trees. Thats where they store the food they will need during the coming months, when the weather is cold and sometimes snowy.Squirrels spend a lot of time in trees, which are like restaurants for them. Among their favorite things to eat are nuts and other parts of trees, like tender buds (花苞).Squirrels may also eat corn, insects and other animals. And, as anyone who has a bird knows, squirrels love bird food!Squirrels stay active all winter, so they need plenty of food to help keep up their energy. Squirrels tend to bury food underground, piece by piece. Some squirrels may gather food into piles that they put at the base of trees or bury underground.When they need food, squirrels use their memory and smell to help them find what they buried. Sometimes, youll even see them digging through the snow.Squirrels make nests in trees. Some squirrels spend much of the winter in underground tunnels (地道), where it is warmer.When spring comes, squirrels change their eating habits to new plant growth, like buds and leaves. Sometimes they forget to dig up all their buried nuts.Thats why youll sometimes find a little tree growing in a place where neither you nor your family planted it. It must have been the squirrels.（1）To get ready for winter, squirrels do all of the following EXCEPT _ . A . store leaves to keep warmB . look for nuts and seedsC . find holes in treesD . dig holes in the ground（2）The underlined part tend to bury in Paragraph 4 means _ .
