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(详细地), 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.
( )1.People with little education usually .
A. spend a long time in school B. have a good chance to get a job
C. spend the best years to choose jobs
D. have fewer chances to get a good job
( )2. The earliest education was probably to .
A. make a man lead a better life B. teach a man to write and read
C. make people get a way of living D. teach people to read good books
( )3.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
( )4. It is expected that educated people will be able to .
A. accept education as a way of living B. take an interest in the whole world
C. develop their abilities to make plays
D. learn subjects like language and math
( )5. 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 good paying jobs
D. all subjects are so important for a way of living

LONG, long ago, a king had a big rock placed(放置) in the middle of a very busy road. Then he hid nearby to see if anyone would move the rock out of the way to make it convenient for others. Some of the king’s wealthiest supporters came past and simply walked around it. Many others complained(抱怨) about the rock and some blamed (责备) the king for the problem. To the king’s surprise, no one did anything about moving it out of the way.
Finally, a poor farmer came along, carrying a load of old vegetables. When he saw the rock, he put down his load, and tried to move the heavy rock to the side of the road. No one stopped to help him. Many laughed at him and made jokes as they walked past. Finally, after much pushing and straining, and with no help, the farmer managed to get the rock to the side of the road. As he bent down to pick up his vegetables, he noticed a small bag lying in the road, exactly where the rock had been. There was a lot of money and a note in the bag. The note was from the king saying that the money was for the person who moved the rock out of the way.
Taking responsibility (责任) is about solving hard problems. The farmer takes responsibility when no one else is prepared to. It does not always mean that you will get an instant reward, but it is a value that builds up a community, and makes life better for all of us.
( )1. The word “convenient” in Paragraph 1 means _______ in Chinese.
A. 重要的 B. 方便的 C. 必要的 D. 有用的
( )2. Why did the king put a big rock in the middle of the road

B. To find out who was the poorest
C. To see who was the most powerful.
D. To see how people walked around it.
( )3. Who moved the rock away
A. The king. B. The king’s supporters.C. The wealthy. D. A poor farmer.
( )4. The story mainly tells us that ________________.
everyone should learn to take responsibility
B. nobody likes to solve hard problems
C. taking responsibility always means getting a reward
D. the poor always take more responsibility than the rich

One day I was doing some shopping when a man, who was untidy and spent most of the time talking to no one, walked toward a group of us at the checkout stand(收银台). I heard him saying to the man in front of me, “I don’t want to steal(偷) from the store. And would you buy me some food ”
The man in front of me didn’t answer him. I waited patiently for my turn to be questioned, but it never came. So I asked him, “Can I buy you something to eat ”
He gladly accepted. The man got a bag and began putting some sandwiches in the bag. As I was waiting, I watched the man put the sandwiches into the bag: 1, 2, 3... He finally stopped and I asked him how many he had got and he answered 10.
The cashier(收银员) looked at me in surprise and then added them to my order. At that moment, the man was moving around the store and he said he wanted something to drink too. The cashier seemed to be keeping a close eye on him, as she didn’t want him to steal anything! I told the cashier that if he got a drink, I’d pay for it.
In the end, when we were leaving the store, he stood right outside holding the sandwiches and said to me, “Thank you!”
This man’s situation made me sad. In fact, if we care a little more about the homeless, they can live happier lives. And then, our society will become more harmonious and beautiful. Thinking about this, I hope to run into him again some day. Maybe we can sit down and have lunch together.

Because of the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia, many people are wearing masks to protect themselves. It’s a very simple but useful method to protect oneself from the harmful things. In fact, masks have been helping us for centuries. Let's take a look at some mask-related history.
1st century
At that time, many people in Roman Empire worked underground in mines to support their families. But most of them suffered from and even died of serious illnesses. To solve this problem, Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD), recommended the use of animal skins. And it helped stop the dust from being breathed.
16th century
Many centuries later, the artist and inventor Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) in Italy, suggested using a wet cloth over the face to protect against the harmful things.
19th century
The design of the mask took a big step forward in the 19th century, In 1848, American Lewis Hassley became the first person to patent(注册专利)a protective mask for miners.Later, in 1897,Polish-Austrian doctor Johann von Mikulicz-Radecki designed a simple mask ,which was the first to use in hospital.
20th century
In 1910, a Chinese doctor Wu Liande designed a cheap face mask called "Wu's mask". People around the world all liked this mask, as it was simple to make and had a low cost.

One possible version:
Now computers are really common in our daily lives.
Some people think computers are very helpful. They can help us do a lot of things. When we want to buy something, we don’t have to go out. Instead, we can shop online. When we want to read, we can download e-books.
However, others think computers aren’t that good. Some students spend too much time on computer games every day. It’s not only bad for their studies, but also bad for their health.
I think we students need to know how to use computers properly. If we make good use of them, they will be our friends. Otherwise, they will do harm to us in many ways.
