If we are wise, we accept these failures as a 31 part of the learning process. But all too often as parents and teachers we disallow this 32 right to our children.

He 35 answered questions he might be wrong.I tried my best to build his 36. But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned （安排）to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, 37 her. One morning, we were working math problems at the chalkboard. Donnie had 38 the problems with painstaking neatness. Pleased with his progress, I 39 the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in 40 . Hed missed the third problem. My student teacher looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face 41. From the desk we shared, she got a container filled with pencils.

In other words ,we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them .Our purpose is to fit them for life.In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable (时兴的）to think that by free education for all-whether rich or poor , clever or stupid -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 degrees , 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 towns.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. 51.

It has been reported that South Korea will apply to United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO 联合国教科文组织) to make the celebration of the Dragon Boat Festival its own intangible cultural heritage (非物质的文化遗产). If successful, people from other countries may see the Dragon Festival as a Korean creation.As the birthplace of the yearly event more than 2,000 years ago, China is not happy with the situation. It would be a shame if another country successfully made a traditional Chinese festival part of its own cultural heritage ahead of China, said Zhou Heping, deputy(副) culture minister. The Ministry of Culture is even thinking of making its own application to UNESCO, covering all traditional Chinese festivals, including the Dragon Boat event. It is thought that the festival is held in memory of the great poet Qu Yuan (340-278 BC), who lived in the State of Chu during the Warring States Period. Qu was known to be a patriot (爱国者) and admired by ordinary people. He is said to have jumped into Miluo River, because he had lost hope in his countrys future. When people heard about Qus death, they sailed up and down the river searching for his body. They also beat the drums to frighten away the fish and threw Zongzi into the water to stop the fish touching Qu. Dragon boat racing is said to come from this search for the poets body.Over the years, the Dragon Boat Festival has spread throughout the world. In Japan and Viet Nam, as well as South Korea, the festival has mixed with and become part of the local culture.58. The Dragon Boat Festival _.A. is also kept by South Korea B. comes from South KoreaC. was created by South KoreaD. is South Koreas cultural heritage59. What is the reaction of the Ministry of Culture to South Koreas intending to make the Dragon Boat Festival its own culture heritage?A. Fighting against South Korea B. Telling South Korea its not right to do soC. Considering to do the similar thing D. Asking South Korea not to do so.60. What is the purpose of the Dragon Boat Festivals being held?A. In memory of Qu Yuan B. In memory of all the patriots of ChinaC. To frighten away the fish D. In honor of Qu Yuans birthday61. After Qu Yuans death, Zongzi was thrown into the water to _.A. feed him. B. protect his body from going bad.C. prevent the fish biting his body D. attract his soulDChina has become an increasingly appealing market for Hollywood films, so it was inevitable （必然的）that Academy Award-winning director James Cameron would touch down in Beijing Wednesday to promote his latest big-budget movie, Avatar.During his 20-hour stay in the city, he shared with local media and some lucky fans details of his new film and shared his insights（洞察）on Chinas growing film industry. Having toured numerous countries for the promotion of Avatar since the film globally premiered（首映）on December 10, Cameron said he anticipated the visit to China for some time and apologized for his hoarse（嘶哑的）and tired voice.It is so sad for a director not being able to shout, he joked at the beginning of the press conference Wednesday afternoon, announcing that the 3D science fiction film will open in China on January 4.Cameron collected 360 million yuan (US$52.7 million) at the box office in China with his blockbuster Titanic in 1998, a record that held for ten years until it was broken by Transformers in 2008.Considering that another computer-generated, live action flick, 2012, has sold more movie tickets in China than in the US, the director said he is positive about Avatars performance in China.Our partner here, the China Film Group, has given us great confidence, he explained, saying that the number of 3D screens has grown from 500 to 600 in the past month, a never-seen-before growth in Chinese mainland.China is second only to the US as the country with the most 3
