I was not happy, so I give the plant to my friend Linda.One day, another friend Mary called and invited me to her office. When I walked in， her jasmine flowers surprised me. I reached out to touch the flowers. Mary cut some and gave them to me .I couldn’t help smelling them, Surrounded by thesweet smell of only a handful these flowers, I suddenly understood something.Mary bought her plant the same time I did. It took a year for her jasmine to bloom. I was so impatient for mine to bloom; regretfully, I gave it away.In a way my life is like the jasmine plant. I need to be patient and let things happen.Last Sunday Linda told me that she was going abroad the next week. Before she left, she returned the plant to me, This time I am going to wait. I have learned that when we want something in our life, we have to be patient，I am slowly learning to have that patience to wait for my jasmine to bloom.( ) 25.

They don’t have enough time to relax or to stay with their family.Work hours are different from one country to another. In France, people spend about 1,646 hours a year at work. In Japan, however, people work about 2,159 hours a year. That means a Japanese worker works 513 more hours a year than a French worker.Why do people work so many hours? Some people work extra hours because they want to make more money. However, many companies don’t pay overtime. Their workers don’t get more pay for more work. Some people think it’s their duty to work more hours. Some are afraid of losing their jobs if they don’t work more hours.Many people say that their vacations are too short. In France, people get five weeks of paid vacation a year. In Germany, they get four to six weeks, and in the United States, two weeks. One study shows fewer than half of workers usedall their vacation days. In Great Britain, there is a saying，“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”If that is true, there must be a lot of dull people in the world.( ) 28.

In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isn’t accepted by all people.Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail, either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.Education is well-rounded and mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. After that， it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human. Education is to make a man lead a better life. Education people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.（）32.People with little education usually _______A. spend a long time in school.B. have a good chance to get a job.C. spend the best years to choose jobs.D. have fewer chances to get a goodjob.（）33.The earliest education was probably to _______.A. make a man lead a better life.B. teach a man to write and think.C. make people get a way of living.D. teach people to read good books. （）34.The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “_______”in Chinese.A.圆满的B.暂新的C. 公平的D.全面的（）35.It’s expected that education people will be able to _______.A.Accept education as a way of living.B.Take an interest in the whole world.C.Develop their abilities to make plays.D.Learn subjects like languages and math.（）36.The passage mainly tells us that _______.cation should make a man improve.B.People can get education in a short time.C.People should be able to get better paying jobs.D.All subjects are so important for a way of living.第三节（共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分）根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项（选项中有一项为多余选项），并在答题卡上涂黑。
