24、It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.

Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life getting education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living. People don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail (详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.

Education iswell-roundedand it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.

I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.

【1】People with little education usually   .

A. spend a long time in school

B. have a good chance to get a job

C. spend the best years to choose jobs

make people get a way of living

teach people to read good books

【3】The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “ “ in Chinese.

A. 圆满的   B. 崭新的   C. 公平的   D. 全面的

【4】It is expected that educated people will be able to   .

accepted education as a way of living

take an interest in the world

develop their abilities to make plays

learn subjects like language and math

【5】The passage mainly tells us that   .

education is mainly for improving a man

people can get education in a short time

people should be able to get better paying jobs

all subjects are so important for a way of living

25、①A red envelope(信封) is simply a long, narrow, red envelope. Traditional red envelopes are often with gold Chinese characters, such as happiness and wealth.

②During the Chinese New Year, money is put inside red envelopes which are then handed out to younger children by their parents, grandparents, relatives, and even close neighbors and friends. At some companies, workers may also receive a year-end-bonus(奖金) inside a red envelope.

③Red envelopes are also popular gifts for birthdays and wedding(婚礼). Unlike a western greeting card, red envelopes given at the Chinese New Year are left unsigned. For birthdays or weddings, a short message, usually a four-character expression, and signature(签名) are acceptable.

④Red is a symbol of luck and good fortune(财富) in Chinese culture. That is why red envelopes are used during other celebratory events too, like a house-warming party, or to welcome the arrival of a newborn.

⑤Giving and receiving red envelopes, gifts, and even business cards is a solemn(庄重的) act. Therefore, red envelopes, gifts, and name cards are always presented with both hands and also received with both hand.

⑥The person who received a red envelope at the Chinese New Year or on his or her birthday should not open it in front of the giver. At Chinese wedding, things are difficult. At a Chinese wedding, there is a table at the entrance of the wedding hall where guests give their envelopes to people in charge(负责人) and sign their names on a large notebook. The people in charge will open the envelope right away, count the money inside, and record it next to the guests’ names.

26、When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I looked to the east—the sky was becoming grey. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a dark path. There was nothing to see, but I knew it was there.

After about a mile, a stranger appeared beside the path. “Am I going the right way?” I asked. He knew where I was going. “Yes,” he replied,” you’ll get there in five minutes.” Finally, I came to some rocks and stopped. I looked carefully over them, but it was still too dark to see anything.

Suddenly, the rain stopped and the clouds cleared. The sun rose behind me and shone on the rocks. Far below me, the ground fell away and down to a river. I was looking across one of the wonders of the natural world—the Grand Canyon.

I looked down to the Colorado River, a silver stream nearly one mile below me. If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of each other at the bottom of the canyon, they still would not reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. It was about fifteen miles away, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away for more than 200 miles. The Grand Canyon was not just big. It was huge!
