Once Minh was in a grocery store. He saw an old man and an old woman. They wanted a box of cereal. The box was on a high shelf. The man and woman couldn‘t reach it. Minh saw a stepladder. He got on the ladder and got the box. He handed it to the elderly couple. They thanked him.

Questions 16—20 are based on the following passage

One of the strongest arguments for the raising of the school leaving age（ROSLA）has been that it will bring us some way nearer to―equality of opportunity‖. Many people like to think of our present system of schooling as providing plenty of steps up the ladder of success for clever children. It would be good to think that no one who is really bright can be missed out when the state system is obviously so complete. It is obvious, for instance, that many children from less wealthy homes reach university or do well in other ways.

Unfortunately we now have plenty of proofs that many children of every level of ability do much less well than they could. For instance, during the years of national military service it was possible to test the intelligence of all male 18 – to – 20 – year – olds. Half of those soldiers who were placed in the two highest ability groups had left school at 15.

It has also been shown that the percentage of working class children going to univer Omsity is almost the same now as it was in 1939. One study of 5,000 children from birth to 21 years old shows that up to half the bright pupils from working class homes left school when they reached 16 years old. Moreover, there is no difference in intelligence between the sexes, but far more boys than girls stay in education after 16. It is clear from this and many other proofs that many children are still leaving school too early to benefit from the prizes—money, social respectability, and interesting jobs—which higher education gives. It is clear too that the reasons why such children leave have much to do with their social background. Their parents often need the extra money another money-earner would bring in; they don‘t value education for itself because their own was probably dull and unhappy. It is not so much that they force their sons and daughters to leave school, rather that they tend to say, ―it‘s up to you‖.

16．It is hoped that ROSLA will give all children .

A．a more enjoyable time at school B．the same chances in society C．the right to a better school D．higher scores in intelligence tests 17．People would like to think that .

A．equal numbers of poor and wealthy children reach university B．those with the least money get the best education C．intelligent children are always selected by the system D．only really clever children do well

18．Working class children are thought to be at a disadvantage because . A．many of the clever ones leave school early B．fewer go to university than ever before C.more than half leave school when they are 16 D．fewer boys than girls stay at school after 16

19．Many children leave school early because . A．their social background makes them unhappy

B．they have to give something to their family‘s income

Questions 26—30 are based on the following passage

You Are What You Give

What you give your relatives and friends can help you know yourself better. Also, what they give you can tell you something about their personality. Most gift-giving (and getting) shows nothing more than the spirit of love and friendship. But it is possible to form some associations between the kinds of things brought and the people who buy them. Here is a guide to who gives what ─ and why.

The clothes you wear tell something about your personality. They tell the world not only how you want to be seen but how you see yourself as well. When someone gives you something to wear that agrees with your self-image, they‘re saying, ―I agree with you. I like you the way you are.‖ Such a gift should be taken as a form of compliment (赞美). On the other hand, a gift of clothing that doesn‘t match your personality could be an insult (侮辱) to your character.

Making something by hand has become the exception in many countries today. If you receive a homemade gift, you‘re lucky. It may not be made perfectly, but it will show a certain quality of love. They‘ve given time and emotion, two important characteristics of being creative.

A person who thinks of food when thinking of gift is good example of what human warmth means. Whether you give a box of chocolate, a bag of oranges, or a ball of cheese, all carry the same message of comfort and support.

People who give books as gifts either like reading or would like everyone to think they do. If you happen to receive a large, heavy book, its giver may be much more interested in the way things appear than in the way they actually are. Of course, reading is a way of feeling the emotions of another person and of learning new things. Giving a book can be a way of sharing a feeling or newly learn meaning. The giver is probably trying to say to you what the book said to him.

26.The first paragraph is written mainly to tell readers that ________.

A. the gifts you give can help you understand yourself better than any other ways B. there is a certain relationship between the gifts and the people who give them C. the gifts you receive help you learn the personality of the givers D.between relatives and friends a gift may show friendship and love

27.A person who likes the self-image of another person will give the latter a gift ________.

A. fashionable and expensive B. made at home by himself C. that agrees with the personality of the receiver D. that matches the character of the giver

28. If you give a large book as a gift, it may show that ________.
