We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, others, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it.
Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed—no examination is perfect—but to have tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in school or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher.
Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them -a form of favoritism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill-respected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lack of certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well-respected school. This defending of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her school’s reputation(声誉), unable to compete for employment with the child from the favored school.
The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computers.
1.The word “favoritism” is used to describe the phenomenon that _____.
A. children from well-respected schools tend to have good jobs
B. bright children also need certificates go get satisfying jobs.
C. poor children with certificates are favored in job markets
D. children attending ordinary schools achieve great success
2.What would happen if exams were taken away according to the author?
A. Schools for bright children would lose their reputation.
B. There would be more opportunities and excellence.
C. Children’s job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation.
D. Children from poor families would be able to change their schools.
3.The opponents of the examination system will agree that _____.
A. computers should be selected to take over many jobs
B. jobs should not be assigned(分配)by systematic selection
C. special classes are necessary to keep the school standards
D. schools with academic subjects should be done away with

Most people will agree that it is good to read, but not all reading is equal. Here are some tips for productive reading.
1. Take notes.
Even if you never refer to your notes again, the process of taking notes helps you sort out something important and will help you remember it. You can choose between computers or paper for your notes. 1.. On the other hand, many people feel they recall information better when they write it by hand.
2. 2..
If you are like me, once you commit to reading a book, it is very hard to give up until you’ve finished it. Given the number of books that are available and our limited life, it just doesn’t make sense to read a book that you aren’t getting anything from.
3. Variety is good.
While you don’t want to give up on a book that you are benefiting from, it is important to give yourself variety. You can pick up a book at random or intentionally looking for something different from what you normally read. 3..
4. Review what you’ve read.
If you want to remember what you read, take the time to review. 4.. When you finish a book, spend 15 minutes examining your notes in 2 to 4 days. Then 2 to 4 weeks after that and then 2 to 4 months after that. This will strengthen the knowledge in your mind.
5. Discuss what you read with others.
5.. If you can talk with people in person, that is ideal, but don t overlook the power of the Internet in connecting people with similar interests but different geography.
A. Don’t be afraid to give up
B. Make full use of reading time
C. It’s hard to get more out of your normal reading
D. This can be very valuable in giving you a different opinion
E. And you,d better go over things at ever increasing time intervals
F. Using computers will make it easy to find your notes later by search
G. The best way to get more from your reading is to discuss it with others

Some people like modern art, while others say that is rubbish.But a cleaner who works in the Tate Gallery in London isn't able to tell the difference.The woman, whose name isn't known, mistook a work of art by the German painter Gustav Metzger for a bag of rubbish, and threw it out with other bags. The plastic bag, which contained pieces of paper and cardboard, was later recovered outside the gallery, but the artist thought that it was too damaged to be put on show again. 78yearold Mr Metzger explained that the exhibit, which he said was a copy of a similar work he had created in 1960, was meant to show that all art is temporary and “finite (有限的)”.
Embarrassed officials at the museum said that they had had to call a meeting with cleaners to explain which things should not be touched. They would not say whether Mr Metzger would be paid any compensation for the incident. However, to make absolutely sure the same thing would not happen again, they decided to cover Mr Metzger's work every evening with a coloured cloth. In this way the cleaners arriving after the gallery had been closed to the general public would realize they should not touch it.
This is not the first time that museum cleaners have had trouble distinguishing exhibits from rubbish. In 2001, in another London gallery, a cleaner threw away a work by the wellknown British artist Damien Hirst. It was an arrangement of empty beer bottles, coffee cups, and overflowing ashtrays, which were meant to indicate the chaos in the life of an artist.
However, cleaners don't always throw things away — sometimes they clean them! This was the case with a dirty bath, which was on show in a gallery in Germany. Without asking what the bath was doing in the gallery, the cleaners simply scrubbed it clean.
1.The officials of the museum covered Mr Metzger's work so that ________.
A.the visitors couldn't get close in the evening
B.they could get recovered soon
C.the cleaners wouldn't make the same mistake
D.they would return to normal
2.Which of the following is NOT true?
A.People have different opinions on modern art.
B.Mr Metzger would be paid much compensation.
C.A work of Damien Hirst was thrown away by a cleaner in 2001.
D.Some modern work is about the chaos of an artist's life.
3.The last paragraph is written to show that________.
A.cleaners often make exhibits as clean as possible
B.cleaners can't always differ exhibits from rubbish
C.exhibits are usually difficult to clean
D.exhibits are not always so beautiful
4.What's the best title of the passage?
A.Cleaners mistake modern art for rubbish
B.Modern art shouldn't be cleaned
C.What makes a great work of art
D.Cleaners don't always throw things away
