and who will fly with me I seek friends whose qualities illuminate 照亮 me and train me up for love It is for these people that I reserve the glowing hours When I was in the eighth grade I had a friend We were shy and too serious about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors We said little at school but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper and one of us would say Let s start with a train whistle today We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle Then we would read them aloud At the end of that school year we too were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped When I lived for a time in London I had a friend He was in despair and I was in despair But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at that time We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves Each of us appears sometimes in a funny way in the other s dreams She and I agree that at certain times we seem to be parts of the same mind In my most interesting moments I often think Yes I must tell though we have never met It is such comforting companions I wish to keep One bright hour with their kindness is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist 心理学家 who will only fill up the healing silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend 73 In the eighth grade what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to A become serious about her study B go to her friend s house regularly C learn from her classmates at school D share poems and stories with her friend 74 According to Paragraph 4 the author and her friend A call each other regularly B have similar personalities C enjoy writing to each other D dream of meeting each other 75 In the darkest moments the author would prefer to A seek professional help B be left alone C stay with her best friend D break the silence 76 What is the best title for the passage A Unforgettable Experiences B Remarkable Imagination C Lifelong Friendship D Noble Companions E We are all interested in equality but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality others still in the name of equality want only to destroy it Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils The standards may be changed no examination is perfect but to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in school or on teachers This would mean everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on efficiency the values and the purpose of each teacher Without examinations employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them a form of favoritism will replace equality At the moment the bright child from an ill respected school can show certificates to prove he is suitable for a job while the lack of a certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well respected school This defence of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away and the bright child from a poor family would be a prisoner of his school s reputation unable to compete for employment with the child from the favored school The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils According to these people there must be no special different academic class They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computers 77 What would happen if examinations were taken away according to the author A schools for bright children would lose their reputation B There would be more opportunities and excellence C Children from poor families would be able to change their schools D Children s job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation 78 The opponents of the examination system will agree that A jobs should not be assigned by systematic selection B computers should be selected to take over many jobs C special classes are necessary to keep the school standards D schools with academic subjects should be done away with 79 The passage mainly focuses on A
