Once upon a time, two brothers who lived on neighboring farms fell into conflict (冲突). It was the first serious one between them in 40 years of farming peacefully side by side. In the end, they fell apart.
One morning, a man with a carpenter's toolbox came for some work. The elder brother said, “I just have a job for you. Look at the farm across the creek (河沟). My younger brother lives there. It was he who used his bulldozer (推土机) to dig the creek last week to spite (刁难) me. So I want you to build me a fence, an 8foothigh fence, in order not to see his place any more.” The carpenter smiled and said, “I see. I'll try to do a job that satisfies you.” Then the elder brother went downtown.
At sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer's eyes opened wide! To his surprise, there was no fence there at all! Instead, there was a bridge stretching from one side of the creek to the other! A fine piece of work! He saw his younger brother coming to him with the hands outstretching. The brothers stood at each end of the bridge, and then they met in the middle, taking each other's hands. They turned to see the carpenter lift his toolbox on his shoulder. “No, wait!

C
One day after we moved to our farm, I found that two of the neighbor’s cows and a calf had wandered through the fence along our woods. The neighbor, Lorne Wright showed up with his dog to herd them back into his grassland—and with part of a roll of nine-wire fence.
＂There’s probably enough to reach from the road to the first brace post if you were of a mind to fix this spot,＂ he said. My face lit right up. I wanted to be a good neighbor, but money was tight.
The next week I was pulling the old fence out of the tall grass when Bill Risk stopped his car. He said,
＂Fixing fence, are you? Hear a story? A long time ago, two fellows farmed next to each other, so they agreed that each would start building fence on opposite ends of their farms and meet in the middle.＂
＂When they finished, one said, ‘Well, it looks good.’ But the other said, ‘My half looks good, because I started where I should have, but you started your half about 2 feet over on my farm and I want it moved right away!’＂
＂Well, these two fellows, who could have been good neighbors, began to get angry with each other, and the bitterness went on for years. Finally one man sold his farm, and no sooner had the new owner moved in than his neighbor paid him a visit. ＂
＂He said, ‘There has always been a problem with our line fence. Your half begins 2 feet over on my farm. It should have been moved a long time ago.’ The new neighbor thought for a moment, then said, ‘I always intend to be a good neighbor. If you think the fence is on your farm, you move it to wherever you think it should be, and you’ll never hear a complaint from me.’＂
＂They became good friends. And the fence was never moved. So keep that fence straight, neighbor,＂ Bill went away, leaving me with a smile on my face as I went back to work.
【题文1】 How did the writer feel after hearing his neighbor’s words?

【题文2】After finishing their fence, the two fellows _________.
A. celebrated for building a solid fence B. have become good neighbors even since
C. started right off with hard feelings D. argued about whose fence was good
【题文3】How did the new owner treat the fence?
A. By moving it to his property. B. By finding where it should be first.
C. By taking it apart immediately. D. By allowing the neighbor to deal with it.
【题文4】What lesson can we learn from the text?
A. Good fences make good neighbors. B. Two neighbors build their fences.
C. Fences have their own stories. D. Keep your fence strong and tall.

As a society we might want to rethink the time and money spent on education，so that these resources can benefit a greater percentage of the population．Ideally，both high schools and colleges can prepare individuals for the ever-changing roles．
High school degrees offer far less in the way of preparation for work than they might，or than many other nations currently offer，creating a growing skills gap in our economy．We encourage students to go on to college whether they are prepared or not，or have a clear sense of purpose or interest，and now have the highest college dropout rate in the world．
We might look to other countries for models of how high schools can offer better training，as well as the development of a work ethic(美德)and the intellectual skills needed for continued learning and development．
Meanwhile，the liberal arts(人文学科)become more important than ever．In a knowledge economy where professional roles change rapidly and many college students are preparing for positions that may not even exist yet，the skill needed is one that prepares them for change and continued learning．
Learning to express ideas well in both writing and speech，knowing how to find information，and knowing how to do research are all solid background skills for a wide variety of roles，and such training is more important than any particular major in a liberal arts college．We need to continue to value broad preparation in thinking skills that will serve for a lifetime．
Students also need to learn to work independently and to make responsible decisions．The lengthening path to adulthood appears exacerbated（恶化）by parental involvement in the college years．Given the rising investment in college education，parental concern is not surprising，but learning where and when to intervene will help students take more ownership of the outcomes of these increasingly costly educations．
1.What kind of education does the author think is ideal？
A．It benefits the great majority of the general population．
B．It prepares students to meet the future needs of society．
C．It encourages students to learn throughout their lives．
D．It ensures that students’ expectations are successfully fulfilled．
2.What is the feature of a knowledge economy?
A．People have to receive higher education to qualify for a professional position．
B．Students majoring in liberal arts usually have difficulty seeking a job．
C．New positions are constantly created that require people to keep learning．
D．Colleges find it hard to teach students how to cope with the changing economy．
3.According to the author，a liberal arts college should focus on________？
A．solid background knowledge in a particular field
B．practical skills urgently needed in current society
C．basic skills needed for change and lifelong learning
D．useful thinking skills for advanced academic research
4.What suggestion does the author offer to parents？
A．Rethinking the value of higher education．
B．Investing wisely in their children’s education．
C．Helping their children to bring their talent into full play．
D．Avoiding too much intervention in their children’s education．
