Things werent bad；they were good A hundred yards away was Summit LakeIt was beautifulWe fired up the camp stove and boiled up a cup of coffeeHalf an hour later，my 6-year-old daughter and I were in the parking lot of the Lassen Peak Trail，getting ready to hikeWe wouldnt make it all the wayyoung legs get pretty tired on a steep mountain pathbut it didnt matterWe would see great views spread out below us，the volcanic(火山的)ash that layered on the earth turning the melting snow a mysterious pink as the sun struck itLater，during the hike，I felt stupid about my morning plaintsEverything had been worthwhileIt gave me great satisfaction to see my daughter so excited about the view from the mountain Yes，camping is unfortableBut theres also something wonderful about being so close to natureJust as importantly，theres something about getting young children out of their increasingly technology-filled fort zones and forcing them to experience the non-cyber(没有网络的)world around themIts a good thing to reconnect every so often with the Great Outdoors29.

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 only to think a moment to understand that the work of a pletely 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 town.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 work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of ones work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society. 33. The writer of the passage thinks that _.A. education can settle most of the worlds problemsB. free education for all probably leads to a perfect worldC. free education wont help to solve problemsD. all the social problems cant be solved by education34. The writer wants to prove that _.A. our society needs all kinds of jobsB. our society needs free education for allC. a farmer is more important than a professorD. work with hands is the most important35. The passage tells us about _ of the education.A. the meansB. the system (系统)C. the valueD. the type (类型)第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。As we know, sport is very mon in our daily life.
