Time is very important in our lives. It organizes our everyday moments. However, time never had any importance in my life until I received a watch from my father.

I received this gift on a cloudy day. I had to go to the airport at 9:00 a.m.to meet my uncle and take him to my father’s house. However, I was late because I was staying with my friends. Later on that day, around 11:00a.m., I remembered my uncle, but I was very late for him. He had left the airport and taken a taxi to my father’s house.

I got to my father’s house at 2:00p.m. And felt ashamed of myself at that moment. After I said “hello” to my angry father and tired uncle, my father asked me to sit next to him and gave me this watch. Then he said, “ Essa, did you have fun with your friends today?”

“ Yes, Dad, and I’m sorry about not meeting my uncle at the airport.”

“ I hope today you learned something important, and this watch will be a reminder(提醒物)for you.” He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my life.

I learned a very important lesson from my father: To respect time and never be late to do something. This watch is important to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson that I learned from it.

Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.

In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that, by free education for all, one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough: we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degree; they refuse to do what they think “low” work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.

In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever job is suited to his brain and ability, and secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is bad to be unwilling to do one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.

25. The writer of the passage thinks that________________

A. education can settle most of the world’s problems

B. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world

C. free education won’t help to solve problems

D. all the social problems can’t be solved by free education

26. The writer wants to prove that________________

A. our society needs all kinds of jobs

B. our society needs free education for all

C. a farmer is more important than a professor

D. work with hands is the most important

27. The purpose of education is________________

A. to choose officials for the country

B. to prepare children mainly for their future work

C. to let everyone receive education fit for him

D. to build a perfect world

28. The passage tells us about ____________of the education.

A. the means

B. the system

C. the value

D. the type

C

Over the past decade, cheating-an act of academic dishonesty-has become more and more common.

The latest statistics shows more than two thirds of high school students admitted cheating on an exam last year, and-even more surprising-often the best students cheat to get to the top of their class and they don't think it is wrong. It's not a big deal. Everybody is doing it.

It is a big deal! Cheating is basically wrong and must be punished.

If students easily get away with it, they might be encouraged to do it again. They won't realize that this-in the broadest sense-is an attack on our society, which is based on values like honesty and fairness. The present epidemic of cheating indicates a loss of those val
