　　Adults(成年人)usually do not remember most of the things that are taught by their teachers at school．But this story is one such lesson that I will never forget．Every time I drift off course, I think of this story．

　　It was a normal Monday morning, and my teacher was teaching us on important things in life and about devoting ourselves to what is important to us．This is how the story went：

　　An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the subway．He would get onto the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and beg(乞讨)．He would do this every single day of his life．He sat at the same street corner and begged for almost 20 years．

　　His house was dirty, and a stench(恶臭)came out of the house and it smelled terrible．The neighbors could not stand the smell any more, so they called for the police officers to clear the place．The officers knocked down the door and cleaned the house．There were small bags of money all over the house that he had collected over the years．

　　The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a millionaire(百万富翁)．They waited outside his house expecting to share the good news with him．When the old man arrived home that evening, one of the officers told him that there was no need for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now, a millionaire．

　　But the old man said nothing at all; he went into his house and locked the door．The next morning he woke up as usual, went to the subway, sat at the street corner and continued to beg．

　　Clearly, this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything significant(有意义的)for his life．We learn nothing from this story other than(除了)staying focused on(专心于)the things we enjoy doing．

阅读理解：

　　In the United States, 30 percent of the adult (成年人) population has a “weight problem”. To many people, the cause is clear: we eat too much. But scientific evidence (证据) does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of 1910, we find that people were thinner than today. Yet they ate more food. In those days, people worked harder physically, walked more, used machines much less, and didn't watch TV.

　　Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on average (平均地) than thinner people. In fact, some investigations (调查) such as a 1979 study of 3545 London office workers, reports that fat people eat less than slimmer people.

　　Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stand ford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts:

　　The more the men ran, the more fat they lost. The more they ran, the more they ate. Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.

1．What kind of physical problem do many adult Americans have?

[　　]

A．They are too thin.

B．They work too hard.

C．They are too fat.

D．They lose too much body fat.

2．According to the information given in the passage, among 500 Americans, how many have weight problem?

[　　]

A．30.

B．50.

C．100.

D．150.

3．Which of the following words can take the place of the word “slim” in this passage?

[　　]

A．Poor.

B．Thin.

C．Healthy.

D．Rich.

4．Compared with the adult American population today, the Americans of 1910 ________.

[　　]

A．ate more food and had more physical activities

B．ate less food but had more activities

C．ate less and had less physical exercise

D．had more weight problems

　　It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The difference between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.

　　Education is much more open - ended and all - inclusive (包括所有的) than schooling. Education knows no limits. It can take. place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agent (doer) of education can very from respected grandparent to the people arguing about politics on the radio, from a child to a famous scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability (可塑性), education quite often produced surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions (宗教). People receive education from. infancy (婴幼儿) on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a life-long process (过程), a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be a necessary part of one's entire life.

　　Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at about the same time, take the assigned (指定的) seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The pieces of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the working of government, have been limited by the subjects being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find in their classes the truth about political problems in their society or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are clear and undoubtful conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.

1．The passage is organized by ________.

[　　]

A．giving examples of different schools

B．telling a story about excellent teachers

C．listing and discussing educational problems

D．telling the difference between the meanings of two related words

2．Does the passage support which of the following statements?

[　　]

A．Education systems need to be changed as soon as possible.

B．Without formal education, people won't be able to read and write.

C．Going to school is only part of how people become educated.

D．Schooling is of no use because students do similar things every day.

3．The phrase “For example” in Paragraph 3 introduces a sentence ________.

[　　]

A．that helps to find out some similar textbooks

B．that brings about the bad results of schooling

C．that shows the unknown working of government

D．that gives examples of the limits of classroom subjects

4．What does the writer mean by using “children interrupt their education to go to school”?

[　　]

A．Education is a life - long process.

B．Learning takes place everywhere.

C．Education is totally ruined by schooling.

D．Schooling prevents people from discovering new things.

5．What is the main idea of this passage?

[　　]

A．The best schools teach a variety of subjects.

B．Education and schooling are quite different experiences.

C．The more years students go to school the better their education is.

D．Students benefits from schools, which require long hours and homework.
