Choose the one which is not Edmund Spenser’s work.

Education is not 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 fit 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 for life. It is not enough just to choose the first system of education one finds, or to continue with one's old system of education without examining it to see whether it is in fact suitable or not.

(85) In many modern countries it has for some time been fashionable 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 it in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees than there are jobs for them to fill. Because of their degrees, they refuse to do what they think "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 the work of a professor—we can live without education, but we will die if we have no food.

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 job is suited to his brain and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed of one's work, or to scorn someone else's. Only such a type of education can be called valuable to society.

A．education is not the purpose of life

B．education is a way of life

C．education is to make people suitable for life

Part B (10 points)

You are going to read a text about e-mail, followed by a list of detail explanations or cited statements. Choose the best related ones from the list for each numbered subheading. There is an extra one which you do not need to use.

(41) Extends Language Learning Time and Place:

As many researchers have noted, e-mail extends what one can do in the classroom, since it provides a venue for meeting and communicating in the foreign language outside of class. Because of the nature of e-mails, FL learners do not have to be in a specific classroom at a particular time of day in order to communicate with others in the foreign language. They can log in and write e-mails from the comfort of their own room, from a public library or from a cyber-cafe, and these spatial possibilities increase the amount of time they can spend both composing and reading in the foreign language in a communicative context.

(42) Provides a Context for Real-world Communication and Authentic Interaction:

By connecting FL speakers outside of the classroom, e-mail also provides a context for communicating with other speakers in authentic communicative situations. Interaction via e-mail lends a feeling of reality to students' communicative efforts that may seem artificial in a classroom setting. This communicative interaction is much like spoken language because of its informal and interactive nature. Yet, unlike face-to-face communication, e-mail is in written form. and this can serve the language learner well.

(43) Expands Topics Beyond Classroom-based Ones:

Language teachers often have to follow a rigorous schedule in terms of content and/or grammatical topics to be presented and practiced in a semester or marking period. Large chunks of time can rarely be spared for free communication.

(44) Promotes Student-centered Language Learning:

In e-mail communication, FL learners can experience increased control over their own learning, since they can choose the topic and change the direction of the discussion. The end goal is to communicate with another person in the FL rather than to produce a mistake-free composition.

(45) Encourages Equal Opportunity Participation:

Beauvois (1997) reported that computer-mediated communication increased total class participation to 100%.

Connects Speakers Quickly and Cheaply

E-mail allows students to communicate with native speakers of the target language without the high cost of traveling a broad (Hedderich 1997; Roakes, 1998). Before the advent of the Internet, it was not possible to communicate so immediately and so frequently with native speakers or with other learners.

A. Others have noted that students reticent to speak in face-to-face contexts are more willing to participate in the electronic context (Beauvois, 1995; Gonzalez-Bueno, 1998; Warschauer, 1995).

B. Rankin (1997) notes that the additional interaction in the foreign language provides FL learners with more input than they would be able to expect from class time, which typically amounts to not more than four hours per week in most high school or college settings.

C. E-mail allows for communication between students in a context where the teacher's role is no longer at the center (Patrikis, 1995).

D. E-mail gives learners an additional context for discussion that can be—but does not necessarily have to be linked to topics being covered in class.

E. Frequently it is difficult for students to engage in an activity in a foreign language class without preparation ahead of time. A pre-class e-mail assignment can take care of the groundwork and save valuable class time. Examples are given of ways in which the teacher might prepare students for writing, listening, and speaking activities.

Note

Dear Jessica,

I have a piece of good news to tell you. I bought a book last week It is called How to Study. It is written by Gail Brown. I have read the author's work before and this work I think is as excellent as his previous. I read it this week, and I found it very helpful. It gives many examples on how to study efficiently. It also introduces several new ways of studying. I thought I get much enlightenment through reading this book on studying well. So I enclose the advertisement of the series of the books to you and I hope that you will be interested in them. If you like How to Study and want to read it please call meat 3287690 or e-mail me to Iiluxi@453. com I will bring the book to school and lend it to you.

Your sincerely,
