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 completely 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 townsin 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. 68the purpose of education is _.a. to choose officials for the countryb. to prepare children mainly for their future workc. to let everyone receive education fit for himd. to build a perfect world69the passage tells us about _ of the education.a. the meansb. the systemc. the valued. the typebsmart phones that react to your moods and televisions that can tell its you whos watching are in your future as intel corporations top technology expert sets his sights on context-aware computing.chief technology officer justin rattner showed how personal devices will one day offer advice. “how can we change the relationship so we think of these devices not as devices but as assistants or even companions?” he asked.handheld devices could combine already common geographic location technology with data from microphones, cameras, heart and body monitors and even brain scans to offer their owners advice that today only a friend or relative could give.“imagine a device that uses a variety of sensors to determine what you are doing at an instant, from being asleep in your bed to being out for a run with a friend, ” rattner said, “future devices will constantly learn about who you are, how you live, work and play.rattner also demonstrated a television remote control that figures out who is holding it based on how it is held, and then learns the viewers entertainment preferences.as the world leader for decades in microchips for servers and desktop computers, intel is hurrying to catch up in the profitable market for smart phones like apples iphone and research in motions blackberry.telephones with e-mail, global positioning and media players are pointing the way to a future where ever more functions are packed into ever smaller mobile devices.the smart phone industry, including technology giants like lg and samsung, is likely to sell 270 million phones this year and grow 25 percent in 2011, according to market research company idc.“i think you can expect to see features that support context-aware computing starting to appear in intel products in the near future,” rattner said.but analysts say intel faces an uphill battle getting its microchips into new phones as nvidia, marvell and qualcomm have already made headway with cheap, lower-power processors based on designs by arm holdings.rattner recognized that questions about privacy and peoples willingness to be intimate（亲密的） with their computers will have to be settled before the future generation of smart phones he described takes off.“if you think identity threat is a problem today, imagine when your wholecontext is readily available on the net.”, he said.70the future smart phones can do all of the following except _.a. giving responses to the moods of the ownersb. giving proposals like assistants or companionsc. offering advice to their owners friends or relativesd. telling the phone holders or carriers where they are71from the passage we can infer that _.a. intel corporation has become the world leader in the smart phone marketb. intel corporation has fallen behind in the profitable market for smart phonesc. more functions packed into mobile phones will make mobile devices largerd. the smart phone industry is likely to grow 25 percent in the year of 201172the best title for the passage is likely to be _.a. smart phones and televisions b. context-aware computingc. personalized televisions d. personalized smart phoneschow often do you use your car? can you use your car less often? do you know the following facts in the uk? about 50% of all car journeys are just for fun. over 80% people go to work by car. 25% car journeys are under two miles. 70% car journeys are under five miles.walking & cycling instead of using the car for short journeys, why not walk or ride a bicycle? walking is a most popular form of exerciseits healthy and it can save you money. if you work nearby, try walking or cycling instead of driving. walking your children to school gives them valuable road experience. buses bus companies are using new buses some run on new fuels which produce less pollution;
