16、 teaching allows the students to grow as people, and to develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education, as they are responsible for what they do in life. Some students do badly in a traditional classroom. The open classroom may
17、allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules. For students who worry about these things a lot, it is a good idea to be in an open classroom.But many students will not do well in an open classroom. For some
18、students, there are too few rules. These students will do little in school. They will not make good use of open education. Because open education is so different from traditional education, these students may have a problem getting used to making so many choices. For many students it is important to
19、 have some rules in the classroom. They worry about the rules even when there are no rules. Even a few rules will help this kind of students. The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it. Many teachers do not believe in open education. Teachers who want to hav
20、e an open classroom may have many problems at their schools.You now know what open education is. Some of its good points and bad points have been explained. You may have your own opinion about open education. The writer thinks that open education is a good idea, but only in theory. In actual fact, i
21、t may not work very well in a real class or school. The writer believes that most students, but of course not all students, want some structure in their classes. They want and need to have rules. In some cases, they must be made to study some subjects. Many students are pleased to find subjects they
22、 have to study interesting. They would not study those subjects if they did not have to.36Open education allows the students to _. .Agrow as the educatedBbe responsible for their futureCdevelop their own interestsDdiscover subjects outside class37Open education may be a good idea for the students wh

24、ules39Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?ASome traditional teachers do not like it. BMany teachers do not believe in open education.CTeachers may have problems in open classrooms.DThe teachers feelings and attitudes are important to the students.40Which of the following best summ
25、arizes the passage?AOpen education is a really complex idea.BOpen education is better than traditional education.CTeachers dislike open education.DThe writer thinks that open education is a good idea in practice. BIts really true what people say about English politeness: its everywhere. When squeezi
26、ng past someone in a narrow aisle, people say “sorry”. When getting off a bus, English passengers say “thank you” rather than the driver. In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things. After all, squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only doing his job. I
27、 used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started travelling to the British Isles and came to appreciate some more polite ways of interacting (交往) with people.People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customer and retail assi
28、stant in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be exceptional to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, as opposite to Germans, who woul
29、d normally think that paying their workers money is already enough.Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers emphasized (强调) several times but none of their explanations were inte
30、nded as criticism. It has been my impression that by avoiding criticism, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also is showed in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to a meal than German men. However,
31、I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men! Yes, the latter (后者) are a bit tightfisted.41. What is the authors attitude towards English politeness?A. He thinks it is artificial. B. He gives no personal opinion.C. He appreciates it. D. He thi
32、nks it goes too far.42. What can we learn about customers and retail assistants in Germany? A. A customer never says thank you to a retail assistant. B. Its always a retail assistant who says thank you. C. They may say thank you only once. D. they always say thank you to each other.43. We can learn
33、from the last paragraph that Scottish men _. A. are more likely to be involved in a fighting B. are more polite than English men C. treat women in a polite way D. are not so willing to spend money for women44. The author of this text is most probably _. A. an Englishman B. a German C. a Scottish man
34、 D. a Welshman45. The author develops the text through the method of _. A. making comparisons B. telling stories C. giving comments D. giving reasonsCI live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year-round sun. You may think people in such a splendid, fun-filled place are happier than others. If so,
35、you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.Many intelligent people still equate (等同于) happiness with fun. The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an act. It is a deeper, more
36、lasting emotion.Going to an amusement park or ball game, watching a movie or television, are fun activities that help us relax, temporarily forget our problems and maybe even laugh. But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.I have often thought that if Hol
37、lywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun. These rich, beautiful individuals have constant access to wonderful parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells “happiness”. But in memoir（回忆录）after memoir, they reveal the unhappiness hid
38、den behind all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages, troubled children and lasting loneliness.Ask a bachelor why he refuses marriage, if hes honest, and he will tell you that he is afraid of making a promise, for promise is in fact quite painful. The single life is fil
39、led with fun, adventure and excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most important features.Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness. They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they can. Couple
40、s with young children are lucky to get a whole nights sleep or a three-day vacation. I dont know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating（解放性的）realizations. It libera
41、tes time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can really increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and gla
42、morous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.46. We can learn from the passage that_.A. fun creates long-lasting satisfactionB. fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happinessC. happiness is lasting whereas fun is short-live
43、dD. fun that is long-standing may lead to happiness47. To the author, the role Hollywood stars will play is to _.A. write memoir after memoir about their happinessB. tell the public that happiness has nothing to do with funC. teach people how to enjoy their livesD. bring happiness to the public inst
44、ead of going to parties48. In the authors opinion, marriage_.A. affords greater fun B. leads to raising childrenC. indicates duty and devotionD. usually ends up in pain49. Which of the following is the best example of “painful happiness”?A. Winning lottery by accident. B. A bachelor refusing marriage.C. Raising children. D. Buying some fancy clothes.50. If one gets the meaning of the true sen
