When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied, “Things arent always what they seem.”The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor but very hospitable(好客的) farmer and his wife. After sharing what little
20、 food they had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good nights rest. When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears.

25、gels are always ready to help the poorC. angels are always ready to help the richD. the young should always learn from the oldCThe American believe that anybody can become President of the United States. In a recent Hollyhood comedy(喜剧), that is exactly what happens.Dave Kovic, played by Kevin Kline
26、, is a kind-hearted man who runs a business that finds people jobs. He leads a typical(典型的) American way of life, except for one thing he looks exactly like the President, Bill Mitchell. In fact, the only thing that makes him different from the nations leader is that he is very nice!The president ha
27、s started using look-alikes during some public appearance. Dave is offered a chance to “serve his country” by becoming one. However, things go wrong. The President becomes very ill and Dave ends up acting as the President forever.Director Ivan Reitman, who made the popular and successful comedies li
28、ke Twins, Ghostbusters and Legal Eagles, could have gone for easy laughs by making fun of the American government. Instead, Dave is an attractive comedy about an ordinary man in extraordinary situations. Kevin Kline gives a double performance as Dave and the President, and Sigourney Weaver is at her
29、 best as his First Lady. The love story that develops between her role and Dave is a real classic(经典).The film is 100% American. However, if youve ever felt that anybody could 7do a better job running the country than the people in power, then youll enjoy Dave!28. What is the purpose of the text?A.

32、n of Hollywood comedies.D. The author wishes to become the American President.CThe healthy adolescent boy or girl likes to do the real things in life,to do the things that matter.He would rather be a plumbers mate and do a real job that requires doing than learn about hydrostatics(流体静力学)sitting at a
33、 desk, without understanding what practical use they are going to be.A girl would rather look after the baby than learn about child care.Logically we should learn about things before doing them and that is probably why the experts enforce this in our educational system.But it is not the natural way-
34、nor,in my view,the best way.The adolescent wants to do things first for only then does the appreciate the problems involved and want to learn more about them.They do these things better in primitive life,for there at puberty(青春期) 8the boy joins his father in making canoes,patching huts,going out fis
35、hing or hunting.He is serving his apprenticeship in the actual accomplishments of life.It is not surprising that anthropologists(人类学家) find that the adolescents of primitive communities do not suffer from the same neurotic(神经质的) “difficulties” as those of civilized life.This is not,as some assume,be
36、cause they are permitted more sexual freedom,but because they are given more natural outlets for their native interests and powers and are allowed to grow up freely into a full life of responsibility in the community.In the 19th century this was recognized in the apprenticeship system,which allowed
37、the boy to go out with the master carpenter,or ploughman,to engage in the actual work of carpentry or roof-mending,and so to learn his trade.In some agricultural colleges at the present time young men have to do a years work on a farm before their theoretical training at college.The great advantage
38、of this system is that it lets the apprentice see the practical problems before he sets to work learning how to solve them,and he can therefore take a more intelligent interest in his theoretical work.Since more knowledge of more things is now required in order to cope with the adult world,the perio
39、d of growing-up to independence takes much longer than it did in more primitive community,and the responsibility for such education,which formerly was in the hands of the parents,is now necessarily undertaken by experts at school. But that should not make us lose sight of the basic principle,namely
40、the need and the desire of the adolescent to engage responsibly in the real pursuits of life and then to learn howto learn through responsibility,not to learn before responsibility.32.According to the author,what is the natural way of education?A. Doing things while learning. B. Doing things before
41、learning.C. Doing things as an apprentice. D. Learning practical knowledge first.33.The main advantage of the natural way of education,whether in primitive or modern times,is that learners .A. can learn the trade through solving problems at work9B. can work with their masters throughout their learni
