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 to get 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, either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
    Education is well-rounded and 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.
28. 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
29. It is expected that educated people will be able to _____.
A. accept education as a way of living B. become interested in the whole world
C. develop their abilities to make plays D. learn subjects like language and math
30. The passage mainly tells us that _______.
A. education should make a man improve

B. people can get education in a short time
C. people should be able to get better paying jobs

D. all subjects are so important for a way of living

Jane Austen, a famous English writer, was born at Steventon, Hampshire, on December 16, 1775, and died on July 18, 1817. She began writing early in life, although the prejudices(偏见) of her times forced her to have her books published anonymously(匿名). 
     But Jane Austen is perhaps the best known and best loved of Bath's many famous local people and visitors. She paid two long visits here during the last five years of the eighteenth century and from 1801 to 1806, Bath was her home. Her deep knowledge of the city is fully seen in two of her novels, Northanger Abbey and Persuasion, which are largely set in Bath. The city is still very much as Jane Austen knew it, keeping in its streets and public buildings the well-ordered world that she described so well in her novels. Now the pleasure of learning Jane Austen's Bath can be enhanced (增强) by visiting the Jane Austen Centre in Gay Street. Here, in a Georgian town house in the heart of the city, you can find out more about Bath in Jane Austen's time and the importance of Bath in her life and work. 
     The Centre has been set up with the help and guidance of members of the Jane Austen Society. After your visit to the Centre, you can look round the attractive shop, which offers a huge collection of Jane Austen related(相关的) books, cards and many specially designed gifts. Jane Austen quizzes are offered to keep the children busy. 
     You can also have walking tours of Jane Austen's Bath, which is a great way to find out more about Jane Austen and discover the wonderful Georgian city of Bath. The tour lasts about one and a half hours. The experienced guides will take you to the places where Jane lived, walked and shopped.

A couple of months ago, I was renting a house to work from. I was fairly well set up, but didn't own a lawn mower and after a week or two I realized that I would have to find some way to deal with the growing grass! I didn’t have much money so I preferred not to pay a lawn mowing company.

I was thinking about this one Sunday as the Mr. Whippy ice cream van(小货车) pulled up outside on the street. I hadn't had a Mr. Whippy ice cream for years, So I heard outside immediately. On the road were three young boys aged 10 playing. It was a hot day and I asked them if they'd like an ice cream. "Yes, please," they replied happily. As I left the van, I heard the lady serving the boys say, "That was a really kind thing that lady did for you. Don't forget to thank her. " I smiled as I went inside to carry on working.

I left for work that evening, and didn't  return until the Tuesday morning. As I drove into the driveway, I realized something was different. Yes, my lawns had been mowed and my gardens had been weeded. I felt this big warmth rush into my heart and a smile across my face. Immediately, I knew my neighbors had done this for me, and went to thank them straightaway.

七、任务型阅读

Country music is a kind of modern-day pop music, originated (起源) in the southern United States and Appalachia mountains. The singers usually play the guitar, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars. Nowadays people use the violin, banjo, and slide-guitar as well.
The music at the very beginning was generally very smooth, beautiful and the phrasing structure (句法结构) also was simple. In the 1950s, American country music was about other things, for example, love and money. In the 1960s, songs were often full of anger, and some of them made fun of the political (政治的) leaders. During the 1990s, American country music became more and more popular. Song writers were no longer writing about the modern values of the USA—money, success or expensive things to buy. Instead they were writing once more about things that were usual for everyone.
Today country music has become a big business. It brings in a lot of money. Now, it has reached all parts of the States, from Los Angeles in the west to New York in the east. It remains much the same as before. One subject is “the good old days”. In “the good old days” people praised each other. They believed that the best things in life were free: sunshine, laughing, walks in the beauty of the country, friends and music.
Country music
