M: We've been here for 25 years. We don't want to move. But we've been approached by other cities offering more attractive options, including tax rates and special incentives.

W: How have the mayor and city council responded to these concerns？

. Robert Raikes, who opened the first Sunday School in 1780, and the two bodies of religious and philanthropic people who provided all the day schools until 1870, were inspired to act by two motives--one was shame at the existence in a great country like England of children and many adults who could not read or write, and the other was concern at the conditions which the industrial revolution had provided for the swarms of children who inhabited the new towns.

This approach to popular education was not the same in other countries. In Prussia, Switzerland, France and in the U. S. A. , the duty to see that future citizens were educated was recognized as that of the State, and public money was allotted to it much earlier than in England. Although the churches in some of these countries were associated with the State system--since religion was recognized to have an important share in the upbringing of the young--the prime motive force was education. The doctrines of the French Revolution were mainly responsible on the Continent for a first approach to educational opportunity, but these doctrines did not meet with the approval of the governing classes in this country. No statesman here at the beginning of the nineteenth century would have echoed Thomas Jefferson's famous saying of 1812 that "if a nation expects to be both free and ignorant it expects what never was and never can be in a state of civilization". The most our leaders achieved was the reluctant recognition, sixty years later, that "we must educate our masters". But if we were later than other nations in realizing the importance of popular education, our system has gained something from its dual (double) origin. We have, sooner than other countries, realized that education is not merely instruction, that schools are places where the very young children can be cared for, and that all children have bodies as well as minds.

Popular education in England before 1870 was NOT funded by ______.

A．the government

B．the churches

C．individuals

D．social welfare organizations

听力原文：M: Right, I guess you' ve got some ideas for our product promotion.

W: Well, first we must win over the medical circle, so I thought we should launch a campaign in all the specialist medical journals to promote our drugs, antibiotics and so on.

M: Yes, that' s a good idea.

W: Then TV commercials.

M: Just a moment, are you sure we' re allowed to advertise medicines on TV？

W: Oh yes, provided they are not drugs which need a prescription. You can advertise over-the- counter products. We can get users of our products to recommend them-- "Their lotion cured my disease in six days." for example.

M: Now, hold on. It is forbidden to claim any positive cure for a disease. And we mustn' t offer any drugs for illness which should be treated by a doctor.

W: Mmm. OK. What about this--a series of full page newspaper ads with the message that most doctors consider our products the best.

M: That depends on whether it' s true.

W: Sure it is. But here is another suggestion. We could offer to return the purchase price to anyone who's not satisfied with one of our products. It's possible to do that, isn't it？

M: No, I' m afraid not. Manufacturers of medical products are not allowed to promise a return of price in their ads.

W: Well, it looks as though I' ll have to come up with something else. I never realize the regulations were so rigid.

听力原文：M: Good morning, Ms. Smith. Welcome to today's show.

W: Thank you.

M: Today we're going to talk about the living of foreign students in our country. You know, for many international students, coming to the United States and living here and studying can be a quite frightening experience, especially when finding housing. Can you give them some advice？

W: Sure. Fortunately, there are a variety of options that students can look to. They can choose to live on campus or off campus.

M: Then can you say something about on-campus living？

W: Well, I think first of all for first-time students, coming and(22)living on campus in dormitories can provide a certain level of security because of its closeness to campus facilities since commuting without a car can be quite an experience, especially when you have to commute long distances. (22)Often in dormitories, meals might be provided, and this can allow students to devote time to their academics, rather than housekeeping.

M: That sounds quite good. Is there anything students should pay attention to when living on campus？

W: Yes, (23)students should be aware that they'll be required to abide by certain regulations dealing with student conduct as part of the contract and living on campus.

M: Then what about off-campus living？

W: (24)Like living in dormitories, uh, living off campus in an apartment requires little or no maintenance specifically because usually it is handled by someone else. Also, when you live off campus, there might be a certain amount of flexibility in choosing roommates that you might not have when living on campus. (25)But you should be aware that tenants may be responsible for furnishing their own apartments.

M: Well, thank you, Ms. Smith, for the information you have provided for us.

W: My pleasure.

A．Meals are provided free of charge on campus.

B．Students are more secure on campus.

C．Students are free to choose their roommates.
