26、Many high school students consider a college education useless. Therefore, they choose not to go to college. If you’re one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there.

Schools and universities are the first sources of knowledge. We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but without an education, that job will not be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge.

While limited within the walls of the educational institutions, we openly explore other cultures of the world. We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have valuable insights to share, enriching our own. Education also makes us want to travel and interact with various cultures, broadening our horizons.

When there’s a downturn (衰退) in the economy, those who attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished grade school and have a limited skills set. The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary.

When you’re skillful and knowledgeable, you get to “rub knees” with people of similar backgrounds and tastes. It means a good education leads to excellent networking. Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life.

A good education makes you a more interesting person. You can talk about ideas and events instead of just other people and what’s on sale in stores. An educated person doesn’t gossip, having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say.

【1】Paragraph 2 mainly shows that going to college allows you to ______.

A．have a chance to study abroad

B．become a more interesting person

C．keep gaining knowledge

D．realize the importance of knowledge

【2】According to Paragraph 3, what does going to college mean?

A．Having a greater understanding of different cultures.

B．Being limited within the walls of a college.

C．Valuing our own culture much more.

D．Thinking differently from others.

【3】By giving the example of a downturn in the economy, what does the author want to show?

A．A good education can improve your tastes.

B．A good education sometimes means nothing.

C．A good education means you will not lose your job.

D．A good education allows you to keep a high quality of life.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A．Sources of knowledge.

B．Benefits of attending college.

C．The disadvantages of not being educated.

D．The reason why some people think college useless.

27、   Do you suppose Darwin, one of the greatest scientists of all time, really did fools’ experiments? Or did he do experiments that were so simple and basic that other people just thought they were foolish?

Sometimes, people think they already know the answer to a question or the solution (解决办法) to a problem. Sometimes, they really do know an answer or a solution, but without thinking they are important.

Charles Darwin didn’t settle for (满足于) just thinking he knew something. And, he believed all things could be important however simple they seemed to be.

Suppose you drop sheets of paper that are of exactly the same size and shape. If you drop them at the same time in the same place, they will fall in the same way. Now make one of the sheets of paper into a tight (紧的) little ball and let it drop along with the other sheets. What happens? You have done an experiment that is so simple that you might think it couldn’t be worth anything.

But this simple experiment is important. It explains part of our present-day understandings of physics and ideas that were worked out long ago by Galileo and Newton. And these understandings set aside some of ancient Greek physics.

A scientist sometimes stops to look at very simple things and to think very hard about them. Even the simplest idea, which we might think is foolish, can shake the foundations of science.

【1】The passage tells us that Charles Darwin ________.

A.was a great English scientist

B.didn’t get on well with others

C.thought even the simplest thing was important

D.always liked doing the experiments that others thought difficult

【2】The phrase “set aside” in paragraph 5 most probably means “________”.

A.throw away B.put to use C.realize D.store up

【3】In the scientists’ eyes, sometimes the very simple things may ________.

A.tell us everything of our life B.shake the foundations of science

C.discover the truth of the nature D.help them finish the experiment

【4】The author of the passage tries to ________.

A.draw our attention to everyday happenings around us

B.draw the conclusion that basic sciences are simple things

C.prove that two sheets of paper always fall at the same speed

D.prove that only Charles Darwin, Galileo and Newton are the greatest scientists.

32、阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写, 使之构成一个完整的故事。

Robert and Henry were two friends in the same class. They always played together and went home together. One day Robert and Henry were going home from school, when, on turning a corner, Robert cried out, “A fight! Let’s go and see!”

“No,” said Henry. “Let us go quietly home and not meddle with(插手) this quarrel. We have nothing to do with it and may get into mischief(trouble). Also our parents are expecting to have dinner with us together at home and I don’t want them to worry about me. ”

“You are a coward, and afraid to go,” said Robert, and off he ran. Henry went straight home, and in the afternoon went to school as usual.

But Robert had told all the boys that Henry was a coward, and they laughed at him a great deal. From then on, they looked down upon Henry and didn’t want to play with him together.

Henry was sad but he wasn’t angry with Robert for his rude behavior, because he learned that true courage is shown most in bearing misunderstanding when it was not deserved, and that he ought to be afraid of nothing but doing wrong. Thus, he just ignored the other boys’ laughter and continued to go to school and study as well. However, Robert didn’t invite Henry to go home with him anymore. Instead, he had some other boys who also thought Henry was a coward. Every day after school, they didn’t go home directly but went to the river or somewhere to play games and had a lot of fun.

A few days later, Robert was bathing with his new friends in a river, and got out of his depth. He struggled, and screamed for help, but all in vain. The boys who had called Henry a coward got out of the water as fast as they could, but they did not even try to help him.
