Six years ago, Ann graduated(毕业) from college with a degree in Art. Now she is twenty-nine and works for a large computer company. She takes classes twice a week after work. She is learning to use the computer program PowerPoint. “I enjoy the college, but my job doesn’t use the information I learned at college.“ Ann says. ”The course is helping me to do my job better.”
In the past, when students graduated from college and got a job, they usually stopped studying. Today, lifelong learning is becoming more common. In many countries, some people return to school in their late twenties, thirties, or even older to get a higher degree. More people are taking training courses to improve their working skills after work. People can also get degrees or training through the Internet.

Driving a car at a high speed along a highway seems to be fun. You only need to follow the bright traffic signs beside the highway and it will take you where you wish to go.
But to a London taxi driver, driving is not an easy job. A taxi driver needs to have not only good driving skills but also a good knowledge of the city of London, from the loneliest street to the most popular restaurant around. He has to be at the service of all kinds of passengers at all times. A London taxi driver said the following about his job.
During the night it is usual for him to stop two or three times for some food. He said,\" I never drink when I am driving, or I would lose my license.\"
He normally goes home between two and three o'clock in the morning. There are times he has to stay longer and try to make more runs. He said, “That's the worst thing about working for yourself. If you don't make money, no one is gong to give it to you.\"
London taxi drivers not only \"take\" but also \"give\". Every summer hundreds of poor children from London go for a day at the sea-by taxi. Their rides are paid by the taxi drivers. At the sea, they are met by the mayor(市长),and a lunch party is also held for the taxi drivers and the children. After a happy day's running around the beaches and visiting the market there, the children go home again by taxi, free of charge of course. 34London taxi drivers try to make more runs sometimes mainly because_______.

What do you think are the most important inventions of the past 2,000 years? The TV? The printing? The telephone? Or the computer? A report shows that these are not the only important inventions. Here are four other important ones.
Paper is one of the most important inventions. You can’t have printing without paper. In 105 AD, Cai Lun invented paper in China. Long before the printing and Internet, Cai Lun’s invention allowed us to write down information, stories and history.
One of the simplest (最简单) inventions to save life is the toilet. Before toilets, waste ran into the rivers from people’s houses. Illnesses were common (普通的) in big cities, and it was often difficult to find clean drinking water.
Animal food is another invention. Before the invention, most animals were killed every autumn because there was not enough food for them in the winter. After hay (干草) became a kind of common animal food, animals could live through the long winter.
Reading glasses is the fourth invention. People start getting far-sighted (远视) from the age of 45. Glasses mean that anyone can read, write and do “close work” after that age. Without glasses, the world would be difficult for the people above 45.
38.Cai Lun’s invention of paper makes it possible to ______. A．have printing B．feed animals C．drink clean water D．do “close work”
39.The invention of the toilet can stop people from ______. A．saving water B．getting ill
C．living in big cities D．finding clean water 40.Why couldn’t the animals live through the winter? A．It was very cold in winter. B．They didn’t have enough food to eat.
C．They had no drinking water. D．They died of illness. 41.From the last paragraph we learn that ______. A．all people need reading glasses B．anyone must do “close work” after 45 C．reading glasses are useful
D．life is more difficult for the people under 45

If Confucius(孔子)were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be many candles. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.
While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.
But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius. In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.
In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture. The main courses of Chinese culture usually include Chinese art, history and
philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the drawbacks of Westerners philosophy. Students in the United States, at the same time, are racing to learn Chinese. So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.
So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.
Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.
As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is. 42.The opening paragraph is mainly intended to ________ A．provide some key facts about Confucius B．attract the readers’ interest in the subject C．show great respect for the ancient thinker
D．prove the popularity of modern birthday celebrations 43. We can learn from Paragraph 4 that American students______ A．have a great interest in studying Chinese B．take an active part in Chinese competitions C．try to get high scores in Chinese exams D．fight for a chance to learn Chinese
44.What is the best title for the passage?A．Forgotten Wisdom in America B．Huge Fans of the Chinese Language C．Chinese Culture for Westerners D．Old Thinker with a Big Future
45.The passage is likely to appear in ___________.
A．a biography(自传) B．a history paper C．a newspaper D．a philosophy textbook
Ⅳ.阅读下面短文．按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空。
A young man, while traveling through a desert, came across a spring of clear water. ___water was sweet. He filled his leather container so that he could bring some back to an elder__ had been his teacher. After a four-day
journey, the young man ( present ) the water to the old man. His teacher took a deep drink, smiled ( warm ), and thanked his student very much for the sweet water. The young man went home a happy heart. After the student left, the teacher let student taste the water. He spit it out, ____(say) it was awful. Apparently, it was no longer fresh because of the old leather container. He asked his teacher, \"Sir, the water was awful. Why did you pretend to like ___ ?\" The teacher replied, \" You tasted the water. I tasted the girl. The water was simply the container for an act of kindness and love.
