Some of these writers are doctors ； others are lawyers or educators. But two of the most famous writers of advice are women without special training for these kinds of work.

Passage Two

Some years ago industries had more freedom than they have now, and they did not need to be as careful as they must today.They did not need to worry a lot about the safety of the new products that they developed.They did not have to pay much attention to the health and safety of the people who worked for them.Often new products were dangerous for the people who used them； often conditions in the work place had very bad effects on the health of the workers.

Of course sometimes there were real disasters which attracted the attention of governments and which showed need for changes. Also scientists who were doing research into the health of workers sometimes produced information which governments could not ignore.At such times, there were inquiries into the causes of the disaster or the problems.New safety rules were often introduced as a result of these inquiries ； however, the new rule ； came too late to protect the people who died or who became seriously ill.

Today many governments have special departments which protect customers and workers. In the U.S., for example, there is a department which tests new airplanes and gives warnings about possible problems.lt also makes the rules that aircraft producers must follow. Another department controls the foods and drugs that companies sell. A third department looks at the places where people work, and then reports any companies that are breaking laws which protect the health and safety of workers. Of course, new government departments and new laws cannot prevent every accident or illness, but they are having some good results.Our work places are safer and cleaner than before.The planes and cars which we use for travel are better.

Passage Three

On July 16,1960,Jane Goodall,a 26-year-old former secretary from England,began to study the behaviour of chimpanzees in the wild. Until that time, scientists had mostly observed and studied chim- panzees (黑猩猩)in laboratories and zoos. Few scientists had gone to study chimpanzees in the remote areas of Africa where the chimps live. When scientists had studied the chimpanzees in the wild, they hadn' t spent long periods of time observing them. Jane Goodall planned to watch chimpanzees in Africa over a ten-year period and see exactly how they behaved. She was not a professional scientist when she started out. Her book ,In the Shadow of Man, tells how she began her project and what she discovered.

As Goodall said in 1973,“I had no qualifications at all. I was just somebody with a love of animals. Her love of animals drew her to Africa where she met Dr. Louis S. B. Leakey. Leakey was a world-famous scientist who was studying how prehistoric people lived. Since chimpanzees are humans' closest living relatives, Leakey thought prehistoric people might have lived in the same ways that chimps live today. Leakey told Goodall that studying chimps might give clues about the way that early people lived.

Leakey asked Goodall to study the chimps on the shores of Lake Tanganyika in Africa. The chimps were very shy and the country was very difficult to travel through. Goodall took on the difficult job of finding and watching the chimpanzees.

B)because she had no qualifications at all

C ) because she loved animals

D) because Dr. Leakey wanted her to help him

A)he thought that they were the best friends of humans'

B)he believed that prehistoric people might live a life similar to the life chimps lived now

D)the chimpanzees were very shy

Why is there no risk to the customer when a bank prints the customer * s name to his cheques?

on whether the customer's account is in credit or overdrawn. But, in addition to that basically simple concept, the bank and its customer owe a large number of obligations to one another. Many of these obligations can give rise to problems and complications but a bank customer, unlike, say, a buyer of goods, cannot complain that the law is loaded against him.

The bank must obey its customer's instructions, and not those of anyone else.When, for example ,a customer first opens an account, he instructs the bank to debit (把 记入借方)his account only in respect of checks drawn by himself. He gives the bank specimens of his signature, and there is a very firm rule that the bank has no right or authority to pay out a customer' s money on a check on which its customer * s signature has been forged.lt makes no difference that the forgery may have been a very skillful one: the bank must recognize its customer * s signature. For this reason there is no risk to the customer in the practice, adopted day banks, of printing the customer' s name on his checks.If this facilitates forgery, it is the bank which will lose, not the customer.

Passage Five

Let children learn to judge their own work. A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time: If corrected too much, he will stop talking. He notices a thousand times a day the differences between the language he uses and the language those around him use. Bit by bit,he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people. In the same way, children learn to do all the other things without being taught一to walk, run, climb, whistle, ride a bicycle. They compare their own performances with those of more skilled people, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to find out his mistakes for himself, let alone correct them. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought that he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him, or correct it unless he was made to. Soon he becomes dependent on the teacher.

Let him do it himself. Let him work out,with the help of other children if he wants it,what this word says, what the answer to that problem is, whether or not this is a good way of saying or doing this.

If it is a matter of right answers, as it may be in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such routine work? Our job should be to help the child when he tells us that he can ' t find the way to get the right answer. Let' s end all this nonsense of grades, exams, and marks. Let us throw them all out, let the children learn what all educated persons must some day learn and how to measure their own understanding ,and how to know what they know or do not know. Let them get on with this job in the way that seems most sensible to them, with our help as school teachers if they ask for it. The idea that there is a body of knowledge to be learned at school and used for the rest of one' s life is nonsense in a world as complicated and rapidly changing as ours. Anxious parents and teachers say, “ But suppose they fail to learn something essential,something they will need to get on in the world?”Don't worry! If it is essential, they will go out into the world and learn it.

51.What does the author think is the best way for children to learn things?

A)By copying what other people do.

B)By making mistakes and having them corrected.

C)By listening to explanations from skilled people.

D)By asking a great many questions.

52.What does the author think teachers do which they should not do?

A) They give children correct answers.

B ) They point out children' s mistakes to them.

C ) They allow children to mark their own work.

D) They encourage children to copy from one another.

53.The passage suggests that learning to speak and learning to ride a bicycle are .

A)not really important skills

B ) more important than other skills

C ) basically different from learning adult skills

D) basically the same as learning other skills

54.Exams, grades and marks should be abolished because children' s progress should be estimated only by .

A ) educated persons B ) the children themselves

C ) teachers D ) parents

55.The author fears that children will grow up into adults who are .

A) too independent of others
