If you ever feel as if you are being knocked about by life, think about the amazing bird called the Water Ouzel. I can’t imagine this waterbird knows what it is to have a 31 day. The little creature is often found living next to 32 waterfalls and rivers rushing fast. And however threatening the weather, however 33 the water, in snow and rain, the tough and cheerful Water Ouzel can be 34 chirping and singing. What's more, while the 35 of most songbirds, however melodious in warm weather, fall 36 over long winter months, the hearty Water Ouzel 37 on through all seasons and every kind of 38 . I have to wonder: does this little creature know anything I don't?

It's as if the 39 knows that every violent storm will eventually 40 sunshine; every dark night will finally fade into 41 . And isn't it true? Even our bleakest and stormiest times do not 42 forever. Like the poor man 43 in the cement mixer(混凝土搅拌机), there is almost always an end to the 44 .

UK education is all about giving you inspiration to develop your knowledge and skills, freedom to be creative, and support to help you achieve your best.

On a UK course you will benefit from excellent teaching and facilities. In order to accept students, UK education centres must meet strict quality standards set by the UK government and education bodies.

With such a good reputation for research and education, universities and colleges in the UK attract some of the world's leading academics and professionals. You will be encouraged to express your own ideas and think for yourself.

The attention to quality is reflected in the UK's excellent results:

Four of the top six universities in the world are in the UK.

The UK is a world-leading research nation. 54% of the research conducted by UK universities and colleges is classed as either “world-leading” or “internationally excellent”.

At the most recent inspection, 97% of further education colleges were judged satisfactory or better, for their overall effectiveness.

In the recent BIS Tracking International Graduate Outcomes survey, more than 88% of international higher education graduates said they were satisfied with their UK learning experience.

Likewise, in the Higher Education Academy Postgraduate Taught Experience Survey of UK postgraduate students, 93% rated the quality of teaching positively.

For English language students, you'll find the UK has long been at the forefront of language teaching, and pioneered many of the techniques now used around the world. The emphasis is on learning the language through fun and participation: Instead of just listening to your teacher, your classes will involve games, problem-solving and discussions. You might also listen to songs, watch television or read magazines to practise your comprehension skills.

The UK’s boarding schools also offer excellent teaching, facilities and support. At UK independent schools (most boarding schools are independent), a teacher has just 9.4 pupils on average, so teachers have more time to give you individual support. This is reflected in the results: 91% of students from UK independent schools go on to higher education.

51. What do the education centres do to accept students?

A. To develop knowledge and skills. B. To help achieve your best.

C. To meet strict quality standards. D. To benefit from excellent teaching.

52. How many foreign students a
