    (CNN News)－In his work for a humanitarian(人道主义)agency in Afghanistan, Lex Kassenberg asks an important question when he visits schoolchildren: What will you do when you grow up?“I want to be president,”is an answer Kassenberg often hears from girls.
    But for all the admiration Kassenberg has for a youngster's ambition, the 53-year-old CARE aid worker knows that in Afghanistan, the idea of a female national leader remains unlikely to be realized in the immediate future. Only recently, women had suffered a lot under the rule of the militant(激进的)Taliban.
    The importance of education, especially for girls, is not ignored by the Afghan people or humanitarian agencies trying to improve their living conditions. That's why the World Bank partnered with CARE to investigate how education can succeed when there are increasing violent attacks on Afghan schools.
    “Knowledge on Fire”, CARE's education report made known to the public Monday, found that community-based schools are the most sound and workable in Afghanistan.“Education-related violence is an alarming trend in Afghanistan,”said Helene Gayle, president of CARE. “But this study suggests that an approach of building support for education at the local level can reduce the risks of attacks.”
    Because government school are often associated with a Kabul administration viewed by the Taliban as a pupper(傀儡政府)of the United States, they are likely to be attacked, Kassenberg said. And schools built with reconstruction dollars are associated with the military. Between January 2006 and December 2008, 1,053 education-related attacks or threats were reported in Afghanistan, according to CARE. The number of incidents was almost three times as much as that in 2005.
    【小题1】The World Bank cooperated with CARE in order to      .

    A．know how to educate Afghan boys and girls successfully during the war.
    B．know how to give money to Afghan boys and girls.
    C．know the condition of education in Afghan schools.
    D．know if the education of Afghan boys and girls is successful
    【小题2】 The passage implied that        .
    A．Afghan people suffered a lotB．Afghan boys suffered little
    C．Afghan girls didn't suffer at allD．Afghan girls suffered more than boys
    【小题3】Why have attacks on schools been on the rise since 2005?
    A．The Taliban thought schools are connected with the military.
    B．The Taliban thought the Kabul administration would cooperate with it.

    阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。

    　　I am one of the many city people who are always saying that given the choice we would prefer to live in the country away from the dirt and noise of a large city．I have managed to convince myself that if it weren't for my job I would immediately head out for the open spaces and go back to nature in some sleepy village buried in the county．But how realistic is the dream?

    　　Cities can be frightening places．The majority of the population live in massive tower blocks, noisy, dirty and impersonal．The sense of belonging to a community tends to disappear when you live fifteen floors up．All you can see from your window is sky, or other blocks of flats．Children become aggressive and nervous-cooped up at home all day, with nowhere to play; their mothers feel isolated from the rest of the world．Strangely enough, whereas in the past the inhabitants of one street all knew each other, nowadays people on the same floor in tower blocks don't even say hello to each other．

    　　Country life, on the other hand, differs from this kind of isolated existence in that a sense of community generally binds the inhabitants of small villages together．People have the advantage of knowing that there is always someone to turn to when they need help．But country life has disadvantages too．While it is true that you may be among friends in a village, it is also true that you are cut off from the exciting and important events that take place in cities．There's little possibility of going to a new show or the latest movie．Shopping becomes a major problem, and for anything slightly out of the ordinary you have to go on an expedition to the nearest large town．The city-dweller who moves to the country is often oppressed by a sense of unbearable stillness and quiet．

    　　What, then, is the answer?The country has the advantage of peace and quiet, but suffers from the disadvantage of being cut off：the city breeds a feeling of isolation, and constant noise batters the senses．But one of its main advantages is that you are at the centre of things, and that life doesn't come to an end at half-past nine at night．Some people have found(or rather bought)a compromise between the two：they have expressed their preference for the “quiet life” by leaving the suburbs and moving to villages within commuting distance of large cities．However, this is a strange idea about change and improvement which they force on to the unwilling original inhabitants of the villages．

    　　What then of my dreams of leaning on a cottage gate and murmuring “morning” to the locals as they pass by?I'm keen on the idea, but you see there's my cat, Toby．I'm not at all sure that he would take to all that fresh air and exercise in the long grass．I mean, can you see him mixing with all those hearty males down the farm?No, he would rather have the electric imitation-coal fire any evening．

    　　Many people think a telephone is essential．But I think it is a pest and a time waster．Very often you find it impossible to escape from some idle or curious chatterbox, or from somebody who wants something for nothing．If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation, or when you are just going out, or when you are taking your bath．Are you strong-minded enough to ignore it, to say to yourself, “Ah, well, it will all be the same in a hundred years’ time” You are not．You think there may be some important news or messages for you．I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later．Have you never rushed dripping from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number?

    　　But you will say you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls．Besides, you will say, isn’t it important to have a telephone in case of emergency-illness, an accident, or fire? Of course, you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like England one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity．

    　　I think perhaps I had better try to justify myself by trying to prove that what I like is good．I admit that in different circumstances-if I were a tycoon(business VIP), for instance, or bed-ridden I might find a telephone essential．But then if I were a taxi-driver I should find a car essential．

    　　Let me put it another way：there are two things for which the English seem to show particular talent; one is mechanical invention, the other is literature．My own business happens to be with the use of words but I see I must now stop using them．For I have just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone．I think I had better answer it．After all, one never knows, it may be something important．

    (1)

    The passage is mainly discussing ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    that we should be strong enough to ignore a phone call

    B．

    that important message will reach you sooner or later

    C．

    whether it’s necessary to answer all phone calls

    D．

    whether it is necessary to have a telephone

    (2)

    Judging from the passage, who is strong-minded enough to ignore a phone call?

    [　　]

    A．

    The author．

    B．

    A tycoon．

    C．

    A taxi-driver．

    D．

    Hardly anyone．

    (3)

    According to the passage, the author ________．

    [　　]

    thinks the telephone should go out of our life

    B．

    likes to be different from other people

    thinks the telephone is annoying

    D．

    speaks favourably of a telephone

    Nearly everyone has been told a wrong number．
