2014高考英语阅读理解抓分训练题（26）及答案阅读理解-a篇in a society such as the united states or canada, which has many national, religious and cultural differences, people highly value individualism-the differences among people. teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special. the educational systems in these countries show these values. students do not memorize all possible basic knowledge. instead, they work individually and find answers by themselves. there is often discussion in the classroom. at an early age, students learn to form their own ideas and opinions. in most asia societies, by contrast, the people have the same language, history and culture. perhaps for this reason, the educational system in much of the orient reflects societys belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. children in china, japan and korea often work together and help one another on assignments. there are advantages and disadvantages of both systems of education. for example, one advantage of the system in japan is that students there learn much more about math, physics, biology and chemistry than american students by the end of high school. they also study more hours each day and more days each year than north americans do. the system is difficult, but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control. there is, however, a disadvantage. memorization is an important learning method in japanese schools, yet many students say that after an exam, they forget much of the information that they have memorized. the advantage of the educational system in north america, on the other hand, is that students learn to think for themselves. the system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas. there is, however, a disadvantage. when students graduate from school, they havent memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have. 46the writers purpose of writing this passage is_. ato share

door, and actors and audience turned to welcome a tall, motherly lady with a “can i help you” look about her which was truly delightful. she was not elegantly dressed, but a noble-looking woman, and the girls thought the gray cloak（斗篷）and unfashionable bonnet（宽檐帽）covered the most splendid mother in the world.“well, dearies, how have you got on today? there was so much to do, getting the boxes ready to go tomorrow, that i didnt come home to dinner. has anyone called, beth? how is your cold, meg? jo, you look tired to death. come and kiss me, baby.”while making these maternal（母性的）inquires, mrs. march got her wet things off, her warm slippers on, and sitting down in the easy chair, drew amy to her lap, preparing to enjoy the happiest hour of her busy day. the girls flew about, trying to make things comfortable, each in her own way. meg arranged the tea table. jo brought wood and set chairs, dropping, over-turning, and clattering everything she touched. beth trotted (小跑) to and fro between parlor(客厅) and kitchen, quiet and busy, while amy gave directions to everyone, as she sat with her hands folded.as they gathered about the table, mrs. march said, with a particularly happy face, “ive got a treat for you after supper.”a quick, bright smile went round like a streak of sunshine. beth clapped her hands, regardless of the biscuit she held, and jo tossed up her napkin, crying, “a letter! a letter! three cheers for father!”“yes, a nice long letter. he is well, and thinks he shall get through the cold season better than we feared. he sends all sorts of loving wishes for christmas, and an especial message to you girls,” said mrs. march, patting her pocket as if she had got a treasure there.“hurry and get done! dont stop to quirk your little finger and simper (傻笑)over your plate, amy,” cried jo, choking on her tea and dropping her bread, butter side down, on the carpet in her haste to get at the treat.beth ate no more, but crept (蹑手蹑足地走) away to sit in her shadowy corner and brood (细想)over the delight to come, till the others were ready.“i think it was so splendid in father to go as chaplain（牧师）when he was too old to be drafted (被征入伍), and not strong enough for a soldier,” said meg warmly.“dont i wish i could go as a drummer? or a nurse, so i could be near him and help him.” exclaimed jo, with a groan.“it must be very disagreeable to sleep in a tent, and eat all sorts of bad-tasting things, and drink out of a tin mug,” sighed amy.“when will he come home, marmee?” asked beth, with a little quiver in her voice.“not for many months, dear, unless he is sick. he will stay and do his work faithfully as long as he can, and we wont ask for him back a minute sooner than he can be spared. now come and hear the letter.”they all drew to the fire, mother in the big chair with beth at her feet, meg and amy perched on either arm of the chair, and jo leaning on the back, where no one would see any sign of emotion if the letter should happen to be touching. very few letters were written in those hard times that were not touching, especially those which fathers sent home. in this one little was said of the hardships endured, the dangers faced, or the homesickness conquered. it was a cheerful, hopeful letter, full of lively descriptions of camp life, marches, and military news, and only at the end did the writers heart overflow with

developed every day to extend life. however, some people, including some doctors, are not in favor of these life extending measures, and they argue that people should have the right to die when they

alone, every day he worked in his garden. in all the countryside there was no garden so lovely as his. all sorts of flowers grew there, blooming in their proper order as the months went by, one flower taking another flowers place, so that there were always beautiful things to see, and pleasant odors to smell. hans had many friends, the most devoted being the miller. so devoted was the rich miller to hans that hed never go by his garden without plucking a large bunch of flowers or a handful of sweet herbs, or filling his pockets with fruits. the miller used to talk about noble ideas, and hans nodded and smiled, feeling proud of having such a friend. the neighbors thought it strange that the rich miller never gave hans anything in return, though he had hundreds of sacks of flour, many cows and sheep, but hans never troubled his head about these, and nothing gave him greater pleasure than to listen to all the wonderful things about the unselfishness of true friendship. in spring, summer, and autumn hans was very happy, but when winter came, and he had no fruit or flowers to sell, he suffered from cold and hunger. though extremely lonely, the miller never came to see him then. “theres no good in going to see hans while the snow lasts.” the miller said to his wife, “when people are in trouble they shouldnt be bothered. so ill wait till the spring comes when hes happy to give me flowers.” “youre certainly very thoughtful,” answered his wife, “its quite a treat to hear you talk about friendship.” “couldnt we ask hans up here?” said their son. “ill give him half my meal, and show him my white rabbits.” “how silly you are!” cried the miller. “i really dont know whats the use of sending you to school. if hans came up here, and saw our warm fire, our good supper, and our red wine, he might get envious, and envy is a most terrible thing, and would spoil anybodys nature. i am his best friend, and ill always watch over him, and see that hes not led into any temptation. besides, if hans came here, he might ask me for some flour. flour is one thing, and friendship is another, and they shouldnt be confused. the words are spelt differently, and mean quite different things. everybody can see that.” he looked seriously at his son, who felt so ashamed that he hung his head down, and grew quite scared, and began to cry into his tea. spring coming, the miller went down to see hans. again he talked about friendship. “hans, friendship never forgets. im afraid you dont understand the poetry of life. see, how lovely your roses are!” hans said he wanted to sell them in the market to buy back his things which were sold during the hard time of the winter. “ill give you many good things. i think being generous is the base of friendship.” said the miller. “and now, as ill give you many good things, im sure youd like to give me some flowers in return. heres the basket, and fill it quite full.” poor hans was afraid to say anything. he ran and plucked all his pretty roses, and filled the millers basket, imagining the many good things promised by the miller. the next day he heard the miller calling: “hans, would you mind carrying this sack of flour for me to market?” “im sorry, but i am really very busy today.” “well,” said the miller, “considering that im going to give you my things, its rather unfriendly of you to refuse. upon my word, you mustnt mind my speaking quite plainly to you.” poor hans was driven by his friendship theory to work hard for his best friend, leaving his garden dry and wasted. one evening hans was sitting by fire when the miller came. “hans,” cried the miller,
