At that time, people believed more in religion than in facts, and people like Galileo Galilei, who proved scientific ideas such as “ the Earth is not the centre of the universe”, were often punished by the church with no one coming to their defenseThe church and many people tended to ignore the facts and were unwilling to challenge what they had always comfortably believedThey preferred to make assumptions about the world based on the experience of othersIn fact, when Galilei proved that the Earth was not the centre of the universe, instead of believing him, people chose to believe ancient views put forward by the great philosopher Aristotle (384-322BC）This also shows how people didnt want to search for their own understanding or educate themselvesAnd this is still often true todayPeople feel that if someone important and respected says that something is right, then it must be soBut even though Aristotle was a great man who inspired many great scientists and philosophers after him, he was wrong at timesAnd Galilei too made mistakesHe is now known as the father of astronomy but he believed that the earth moved round the sun in a perfect circleHe was wrongTherefore our understanding of the world around us is constantly growing and changingIn other words, we learn more every day and none of us can ever sit back and say “We know it all”We need to thank the great men of the past for the wisdom to know that we dont know it all and probably never will, for that would mean a world without questionsSo much of our knowledge and understanding of the world today is due to people like Bacon and Galilei, who were brave enough to step out from the shadows of old thoughts in order to find the kingdom of knowledge that todays civilization is built uponThese men knew that knowledge and understanding are things to fight for; more vital to a man, and more beneficial to mankind, some might say, than all the money in the world“All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them”-Galileo Galilei （1564-1642）45In Bacon and Galileos times, people would prefer to _Alearn new things by observing the world around themselvesBacquire knowledge from church or experience of great ancestorsCseek answers to their puzzles from contemporary scientistsDexplore knowledge out of facts they saw with their own eyes 46In this passage Bacon and Galileo are mentioned as examples for _Atheir great achievements in scienceBtheir ambition to doubt great ancestorsCtheirrevolutionary way of acquiring knowledgeDtheir preference to believe in themselves rather than others47What is the main purpose of the passage?ATo help the readers learn more about great thinkers in historyBTo convince the readers of the importance of thinking and discoveringCTo persuade the readers to thank the great men of the past for their wisdomDTo encourage the readers to go against the views of their day48Which of the following is the process the writer suggests to acquire knowledge?Aasking questionssearching the Internet waiting the results finding answersBacquiring knowledge and understanding asking questions answering question Cobserving the world asking questions studying facts finding answers considering possibilitiesDasking questions observing the world studying facts considering possibilities testing and finding answers( C )Adult Basic Education (ABE) and GED PreparationTask:The Adult Basic Education Department serves a huge population of learners.

I was thinking of the hospital. We had gone there that afternoon to visit my father for Valentines Day. Daddy was in a high bed that was folded in half some way. He looked alright to me. I didnt know why he kept going to that place anyway.I sat as quietly as possible. My trouble was that I wanted to hug him and I was afraid of what Mama would say if I climbed up on his bed to do it. I didnt know why she would mindI only knew she would. Sometimes she said I was too rough. But I was such a little girl and Daddy was so bighow could I hurt him? I thought there must be some other reasons why he couldnt play with me like he used to. Maybe he was too tired. My parents talked for a long time while I 1ooked out of the window and played with my brother and sister. I didnt like that place and I wanted to go. There didnt seem to be anything to do there. Then，all at once，we were leaving. Daddy called me to his bedside and told me to be sure to say my prayers. I said I would and kissed him quickly on the cheek. Then I was glad to leave that building.
