Many people go to school for a good education. They learn languages, history, maths　　 and other lessons. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school. No matter how much a teacher knows, he cannot teach his students everything they want to know. His work is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves. It is always more important to know how to study by oneself. It is quite easy to learn something in a language or a formula（公式） in maths，but it is difficult to use a formula in finding the answer to a maths problem . Great inventors do not get everything from school but they can invent many things and change the world a lot. Though Thomas Edison invented many things he didn’t have much school education. How do they do all these? Because they know how to study. A lot of things are not taught in the classroom. They get knowledge from books outside school. They work hard all their lives, and the most important thing is that they know how to use their head.

1.What do many people go to school for?

2.What should a student learn to do from school?

Many high school students consider a college education useless. Therefore, they choose not to go to college. If you’re one of them, think again. Here are some reasons why you should go to college and receive a good education there.

Schools and universities are the first sources of knowledge. We take that knowledge later on to build our careers after graduation. More knowledge will be gained after you start working, but without an education, that job will not be within easy reach. Knowledge leads to knowledge.

While limited within the walls of the educational institutions, we openly explore other cultures of the world. We come to know that ours is not the only culture. Other cultures have valuable insights to share, enriching our own. Education also makes us want to travel and interact with various cultures, broadening our horizons.

When there’s a downturn (衰退) in the economy, those who attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished grade school and have a limited skills set. The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary.

When you’re skillful and knowledgeable, you get to “rub knees” with people of similar backgrounds and tastes. It means a good education leads to excellent networking. Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life.

A good education makes you a more interesting person. You can talk about ideas and events instead of just other people and what’s on sale in stores. An educated person doesn’t gossip, having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say.

1.Paragraph 2 mainly shows that going to college allows you to ______.

A. have a chance to study abroad　　 B. keep gaining knowledge

C. become a more interesting person　　 D. realize the importance of knowledge

2.According to Paragraph 3, what is the advantage of going to college mean?

A. Having a greater understanding of different cultures.

B. Being limited within the walls of a college.

C. Valuing our own culture much more.

D. Thinking differently from others.

3.By giving the example of a downturn in the economy, what does the author want to show?

A. A good education can improve your tastes.

B. A good education sometimes means nothing.

C. A good education means you will not lose your job.

D. A good education allows you to keep a life of high quality.

4.What is the text mainly about?

A. Sources of knowledge.

B. Benefits of attending college.

C. The disadvantages of not being educated.

For many people,  there is only one good reason to go to an amusement park: the roller coaster. But why do People go on roller coasters?

"Where else in the world can you scream at the top of your lungs and throw your arms in the air?"  Frank Farley asks. "If you did that in most other places, they'd take you to your parents and probably put you through a psychological evaluation  (心理检查)."  Farley is a psychologist at Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Roller coasters are often attractive to kids whose lives are stressful or controlled.  "Roller coasters are a way of breaking out of the humdrum (单调 ) of everyday life.  You can let it all go and scream and shout or do whatever you want," Farley says. It has been proved that many adults feel the same way.

Compared with skateboarding, extreme mountain biking, and other adventure sports, riding roller coasters is safe. Parents usually don't mind when kids go on coasters.  Roller coasters also have a way of bringing people together.  Riders share the thrill and adventure of surviving what feels like an extreme experience.

Whether you like to ride a roller coaster may depend on your personality.  Psychologists say that there is a certain type of person that naturally seeks out extreme experiences. "They enjoy things like change, variety, and intensity (强度)," says Farley. "These people are actually attracted to thrills."  He describes such people as having Type-T personalities ("T" stands for thrill).

He also believes that these thrill seekers are more adventurous and creative than other people. Albert Einstein was a Type T. "If nobody liked to seek stimulation (刺激)," he argues, "the human race wouldn't be where it is today."

1.What is the passage mainly about?

A. The disadvantages of roller coasters.

B. The characteristics of roller coasters.

C. Why many people enjoy roller coasters.

D. How people act when riding roller coasters.

2.According to Farley, what will most people feel after riding a roller coaster?

A. Scared.          B. Confident.    C. Nervous.       D. Relaxed.

3.If a person is a Type T, he seems to ________.

A. enjoy adventure sports

B. dislike riding roller coasters

C. like popular sports

D. work well with others

4.According to Farley, to our society, people with Type-T personalities are __

A. dangerous            B. important

C. useless               D. harmful
