    14．Why do people go to university？There is a popular notion that a college education is something to be endured in order to become （50）B to obtain certain kinds of jobs or to go to graduate school．This is not what we are trying to do at Harvard，nor would we wish to have many students here who took such a（n）（51）C view of a college career．
    There are several goals we aim to reach in our undergraduate program．
    The most obvious one is to give knowledge-fairly （52）A knowledge in one field and a more general knowledge of a variety of other subject areas which you may choose according to your interest．But if acquiring knowledge is a self-evident part of a college education，it is （53）B the most important．Remarkably few of the facts you learn here will remain in your （54）A for many years，and some of those that do will even be proved （55）C by new knowledge．
    （56）A，we can instill（灌输） certain attitudes of mind-a willingness to accept uncertainty，and the lack of definite truths； independence of mind，and a respect for facts and for the uncomfortable conclusions which facts sometimes lead to．
    In addition to these （57）D qualities，a college education should try to lay a foundation for the creative use of （58）D time．Some of this capacity can be stimulated in the classroom-in courses in the humanities and the arts．Yet，at least as much （59）B will occur outside the lecture hall-on athletic fields，in music rooms，student theaters，concert halls，and so forth．
    These are some of the （60）B of a liberal college education as I see them．I cannot resist concluding with a few private thoughts about our new careers at Harvard．
    To begin with，I hope that we will think （61）A about what we want to accomplish here．It would be （62）C for you to set your sights on some limited goal，such as getting good grades or merely getting into one or another graduate school．
    Second，I hope that you will give some thought to what you can do for others during your stay here．There are many problems waiting for your help，and many people who could （63）B your efforts．
    My final bit of advice．Whatever else we do，let us remember not to take ourselves too seriously．However great our problems may seem，however urgent our complaints，they are overshadowed（黯然失色） by the （64）Cof countless other people on our planet．

    20．Darno Setiadi is one of the top ten thousand richest men in Indonesia．Mr．Setiadi runs his own business，importing machinery from Europe and selling it all over the country．He employs over three hundred people and lives in a very large house in Jakarta，the capital city．However，as he will tell you，he had to travel down a long，hard road to get to where he is today．
    "I built this business up from nothing through my own hard work，"said Darno．"I come from a poor family and have thirteen brothers and sisters．My dad died when I was fourteen and I had to go out to work to try to support the rest of my family．To begin with，I sold ice cream in the street； then I got a job selling cloth door-to-door．After that，I started traveling all over the island selling things to people and slowly I started getting ideas about what kind of products the different markets wanted．
    "When I was twenty-one，I left my wife and two children at home and moved to Jakarta to set up my own business，selling all kinds of machines，but，particularly propellers （螺旋桨） for boats．There are over thirteen thousand islands in Indonesia，so there's a huge market for that kind of thing．Luckily for me，some friends helped me get import licenses．Business was increasing and I could finally afford to bring my family over to join me．
    "The only real problem I have now is who's going to take control of the business when I retire．I'd like my son to run it，but he's not really strong enough to do it!I think perhaps his childhood was too easy，and that has made him a bit too soft to do work like this!"
    21．What does Darno sell now？C
    A．Cloth．
    B．Boats．
    C．Machines．
    D．Ice cream．
    22．When Darno was in his early teens，heB．
    A．helped with his family business
    B．struggled to raise a big family
    C．left his family to do business
    D．traveled all over the world
    23．What does Darno worry about now？D
    A．His health problems．
    B．How to spend his retired life．
    C．How to keep controlling the market．
    D．His son's ability to take over his business．
    24．Which of the following words can best describe Darno？B
    A．Kind-hearted and easy-going．
    B．Sharp-eyed and hard-working．
    C．Open-minded and world-famous．
    D．Well-educated and self-confident．

    9．Does your local town have a nickname？If so，what does it say about the area and the people who live there？Many cities are recognized across the world by  their unofficial names．New York is the Big Apple，London is the Big Smoke，and Los Angeles is famously called La La Land．
    Now，as part of English Language Day on Wednesd ay，two British organizations，the English Project and Ordnance Survey，are launching （发起）  an interactive project which aims to identify the nicknames which people use in their daily lives for the places which they like or dislike．
    "The name that people create for a place forms a connection with feelings，"explains Winchester University's Professor Bill Lucas，a patron （赞助者） of the English Project．
    "So Basingstoke becomes Amazingstoke； Swindon is known as Swindump and Padstow，hometown of chef Rick Stein，is nicknamed Padstein．"
    Basingstoke is a town in central England．The local nickname，Amazingstoke，shows the love that locals seem to have for the area．Swindon，on the other hand，is sometimes called Swindump，showing that some people think it's a dump（垃圾堆）．Stanford Le Hope in Essex is called Stanford No Hope by locals．
    And Padstow in Cornwall is so closely connected with the local famous person Rick Stein that it's become known as Padstein．
    Since launching the online survey last week，the creators have already received 3000 altemative titles for places and landmarls．
    As well as creating what promises to be a fascinating resource of nicknames，there is a practical side to the project．"With the huge variety of place nicknames that exist，we could never hope to collect them all ourselves，"says Glen Hart，Ordnance Survey's head of research．"But the information from the project could prove vital．Organizations like the emergency services rely on our information when responding to 999calls，so by having the most complete set of nicknames we could help the emergency services quickly locate the
    right place，and maybe even save lives．"

    60．What is the passage mainly about？C
    A．Some stories about nicknames for places．
    B．Activities launched by two British organizations．
    C．A survey of nicknames for places．
    D．The attractiveness of place nicknames．
    61． Unlike the town Basingstoke，Swindon is a place thatD
    A．has a long history
    B．attracts a lot of tourists
    C．has few people living there
    D．seems unpleasant to some people
    62．According to the passage，people's response to the project isA
    A．active
    B．indifferent
    C．opposed
    D．strange
    63． What does Glen Hart think of the project？C
    A．It proves that most nicknames are interesting．
    B．It may help increase the number of nicknames．
    C．It is very helpful to emergency services．
    D．It has helped prevent deaths from happening．

    19．A Good Custodian
    I know a woman who tries hard to be a good custodian．
    I pass her  every day after school as she pushes her cart down my
    hallway．Of course，she is my building's cleaner，
    One Tuesday morning I came into school and saw a （36）C on my
    desk from my custodian，
    It seemed that some unbearable first year students had damaged the bathroom in a particularly disgusting way and she had been （37）D to clean it．This took（38）B than she had expected． She had left the typewritten note on my desk to （39）A  for not being able to clean my room as she was （40）D to do．
    At the beginning of the period，I shared her note with my first period（41）A When I mentioned that our custodian had apologized to us，their first （42）B was to volunteer to seek out and beat up those first year students for making our custodian have to clean up their （43）C．It turned out that just about all of my students also knew our custodian by name-all of them responded with smiles and （44）A for a long time about this time or that time when she'd（45）D each of them in the hallway．That she felt she needed to apologize （46）C a strong reaction from many of the kids．
    As the class period was about to end，I asked them to（47）C  the floor like I do every period and thanked them for picking up any garbage （48）A  it wasn't theirs．My entire class disappeared； they each disappeared instantly（49）B their desks to pick up those annoying tiny pieces of paper that （50）B so easily from notebooks．One girl made a （an）（51）D that I later used with my other classes："Her job might be to clean the room，but she shouldn't have to clean up（52）A us．There's a difference．"
    I believe that people know the difference between right and wrong．I believe that people appreciate it when others（53）D take care of them．And I believe that people，even adolescents who are not quite yet mature，appreciate it when they see someone who takes （54）Bin her work． Sometimes we need a （55）C of the things we take for granted…things like a good custodian to take care of us．

    6．A dog can be a source of help，as well as comfort，to someone who is disabled．Properly trained，a dog will pick up dropped items，help with dressing，turn on lights，activate an alarm and perform other tasks that allow disabled people to be independent．With a dog as a companion-and in need of a walk-a person who might otherwise stay alone at home can gain the confidence to go out and socialize．
    Founded 22 years ago by Frances Hay，who had lost a leg to bone cancer，Dogs for the Disabled has redrawn the boundaries （界线） of who can be helped by dogs，and how．Other charities that train dogs focus on adult partnerships but，since 2004，Dogs for the Disabled has been helping under-18s．Starting with physically disabled children，dogs trained by the charity have given young people so much practical support that some are attending college．

    The assistance dogs have proved so successful that the charity cannot keep pace with demand．In an improved kennels （狗舍） near Banbury，a maximum of 30 dogs are trained at any one time，at a cost of？11，000 each．To date，the charity has created 450 dog-human partnerships of which 240 are currently active．

    North and South America are home to the largest number of wilderness areas．There are 16such areas，from southern Argentina to Alaska and northern Canada．Africa has 8wilderness areas，including the thick forests and the grasslands．Australia and New Guinea （几内亚） share 6areas．Europe has 3areas and Asia has 2．The Arabian Desert and Antarctica also are considered wilderness areas．
