C
In a society such as the United States or Canada，which has many national，religi ous and cultural differences，people highly value individualism—the differences among pe ople. Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special. The educational systems in these countries show these values. Students do not memorize a ll possible basic knowledge. Instead，they work individually and find answers by themsel ves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age，students learn to form t heir own ideas and opinions.
In most Asia societies，by contrast，the people have the same language，history a nd culture. Perhaps for this reason，the educational system in much of the orient reflects society's belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism. Children in China，Japan and Korea often work together and help one another on assignments.
There are advantages and disadvantages of both systems of education. For example，one advantage of the system in Japan is that students there learn much more about math s，physics，biology and chemistry than American students by the end of high school. T hey also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do. The system is difficult，but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and s elf-control. There is，however， a disadvantage. Memorization is an important learning m ethod in Japanese schools，yet many students say that after an exam，they forget much of the information that they have memorized.
The advantage of the educational system in North America，on the other hand，is t hat students learn to think for themselves. The system prepares them for a society that va lues creative ideas. There is，however， a disadvantage. When students graduate from sc hool，they haven't memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countrie s have.
8. The writer's purpose of writing this passage is________.
A. to share his idea with others in a new way
B. to introduce two different systems of education through contrast
C. to criticize the society that values memorization
D. to prepare students for society

10. From the facts，we can infer that________.
A. Asian students are more likely to do better in teamwork than American students
B. Chinese students are more hardworking in their studies than Mexican students
C. the Western educational system is much better than the Eastern educational system
D. the Eastern educational system is as difficult as the Western educational system
11. What is the best title of the passage？

My wife and I have always been friendly with the clerks at the local convenience st ore. I don’t think many people appreciate what a difficult job these folks have. They wor k for a little over minimum wage and I often wonder how they make ends meet.
One of the clerks，Charlie，was always wearing his glasses but he didn’t one day.
I asked him about it and he said they’d been out of order and that he couldn’t afford a new pair. His family needed money. It was obvious that he was having a difficult time.
We wanted to help him，so we turned to our own eye doctor for assistance with a plan. We had his secretary contact him，asking him to come in for an eye exam for fre e. We told the doctor to let him order whatever glasses he wanted and that we would pa y for them. Although Charlie questioned what was going on，the doctor just told him th at someone had offered the money for his new glasses. When we went in to pay the bil l，the doctor told us he was so touched by our idea that he waived the exam fee and o nly charged us for half the price of the glasses！
It was so wonderful to see Charlie in her new glasses and he enjoyed telling all the regular customers how the gift came about. I’m sure that upon hearing her story，ideas of kindness may have emerged in the minds of many.
12.What does the author think of the job at the local convenience store？
A. less-stressed

C. easy
D. low-paid
13. Why didn’t the clerk Charlie wear glasses one day？

in the third paragraph can be replaced by ________.

Dear Tom，
I’m very glad to hear from you. You said you wanted to learn some Chinese table manners. Now let me tell you something.
Before a meal，guests and seniors are seated first. Other people should not begin eat
ing until the guests and the seniors start. Unlike Westerners，the Chinese usually put ma
ny dishes on the table and everybody shares them together. While eating Chinese hosts us ually take good care of their guests and often use serving chopsticks or spoons to add fo plates. After the meal，guests should express their thanks to hosts and their od to guests’　
satisfaction with the delicious meal. In short，when in China do as the Chinese do.
I hope you will find my information useful.
Yours，
Li Hua。
