40、an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them; our purpose is to prepare them for life. As soon as we realize this fact, we will understand that it is very important to choose a system of education which will really prepare children

41、for life. It is not enough just to choose the first system of education one finds, or to continue with ones old system of education without examining it to see whether it is in fact suitable or not. In many modern countries, it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for a

42、llwhether rich or poor, clever or stupidone 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 than there are jobs for them to fill. Becaus

43、e of their degrees, they refuse to do what they consider low work; and, in fact, work with the 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.

44、 We can live without education, but we will die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we would have terrible diseases in our towns. In countries where there are no servants because everyone is ashamed to do such work, scientists have to waste mu

45、ch of their time doing housework. In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to prepare for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever job is suited to his brain and ability, and secondly, we can realize that all jobs are necessary to so

He was born around 287 BC and he died in the year 212

50、 BC. Archimedes is most well-known for one specific idea that he came up with. Archimedess Principle states that a solid object which is immersed in a liquid is pushed up by a force which is equal to the weight of the water that the object moves. For example, if you put a piece of wood and a piece o

51、f gold the same size in water, only the wood will float. Both the wood and gold move the same amount of water, but the wood weighs less than this water, while the gold weighs more. It is believed that Archimedes discovered this principle when the king of Syracuse asked him to solve a problem. The ki

52、ng wanted to know if his crown was pure gold or a mixture of gold and silver. The king, of course, did not melt his crown to find out. The idea came to Archimedes as he lowered himself into his bath. He noticed how the water spilled out of the tub. He decided to use the same idea for the crown. He k

The word immersed in the second paragraph means“_”.A.liftedB.raisedC.roseD.under water答案:D此题为词汇题。根据第二段第二句，Archimedess Principle.the water that the object moves，可以推断immersed意思是；放入水中的、浸入水中的。3. We drop a piece of metal into a jar full of water, the met

55、al will float if it weighs less than_.A.an equal amount of silverB.an equal amount of goldC.all the water in the jar nowD.the water that leaves the jar答案:D此题为推断题。根据阿基米德定理，推断试验的结果，答案选D。4. From this selection we may conclude that the kings crown_.A.moved less water than pure gold of the same sizeB.moved more water than pure gold of the same weightC.moved more water than pure gold of the same sizeD.moved less water than pure gold of the same weight答案:B此题为推断题。根据阿基米德定理，我们可以得出关
