In America, the first aim of education was to prepare children to read the Bible and its intent was religious. Later on, the purpose was to enable people to read and write, and take part in the democratic process. Still later, the purpose became to prepare young people for jobs in a modern society. At no time was the aim of education to prepare students to become individuals or complete human beings. This aspect of education was left to the home, church, mass media, and the city streets. To a certain large extent, it still remains there. Yet in a society that can easily be foreseen, one in which mechanization will reduce the human factors in industrial production, the purpose of education must once again change. It must begin to educate people to live full and meaningful lives in which “jobs” are at best only incidental, or at least for jobs that are oriented toward human service rather than physical productivity.

There was a time when zoos were places for animals to live. Even the largest animals were
confined to small and uncomfortable cages. Restless beasts paced back and forth in their prisons, as countless visitors passed by.
While some zoos are still throwbacks to this era, more and more zoos have changed. Wild animals are now housed in larger areas that more closely resemble their natural habitats. This makes the existence of the animals much more pleasant. It also provides a better educational experience to visitors. Children and adults ca see scenes that show more accurately how animals live in the wild.
Hopefully the day will come when all zoos will be humane places that give top priority to the needs of their animals while creating ideal educational exhibits.

By understanding the meaning of hieroglyphics, experts have been able to find out more about life in ancient Egypt. Hieroglyphics is a kind of writing made up of pictures. Each picture, or hieroglyph, represents either an idea or a sound. This was the method of writing invented by the ancient Egyptians and used by them for almost 3,500 years.
Hieroglyphs were usually carved in stone on the walls of temples and monuments, and were originally used to record important information about the Pharoahs. However, this was a very skilled and time-consuming job, done only by trained craftsmen. The ordinary people of Egypt needed a more useful method of keeping records about everyday events.
So, around AD 300, the Egyptians created a simpler form of hieroglyphs which could be written more quickly. They also invented a kind of paper, which was easier to write on and much lighter to carry. Everyone used the new, simple hieroglyphs and they began to forget the meaning of the old formal ones. By the fourth century AD, the meaning of the old hieroglyphs was completely unknown.
It was not until many centuries later that their meaning was rediscovered. In 1799, a French army officer found a carved piece of stone next to the Nile River near Rosetta in Egypt. This became known as the Rosetta Stone, and was the key which finally allowed modern man to understand the hieroglyphs.
The carvings on the stone were three passages in three different kinds of writing—two were written in forms of Egyptian hieroglyphs and the other was written in Greek. Scholars were able to read the Greek passage, and they soon realized that the three passages were all saying the same thing. By translating the Greek passage they could decipher what the hieroglyphic passages said.
After many years of study, experts were eventually able to translate all the hieroglyphic symbols. This opened up a whole new world of knowledge about life in ancient Egypt. Finally, after nearly 1,500 years of silence the writing of the ancient Egyptians could be read again.
69. In hieroglyphics, sounds and ideas are represented by .
A. words B. stones C. pictures D. letters
70. Hieroglyphics were first used to record information about .
A. ordinary people B. the Pharoahs C. temples D. craftsmen
71. The meaning of hieroglyphics was rediscovered when a French army officer found .
A. an ancient key B. a useful method C. the Nile River D. the Rosetta Stone
72. What is the passage mainly about?
A. The discovery of the Rosetta Stone.
B. The ancient method of writing used by the Egyptians.
C. Life in ancient Egypt.
D. Hieroglyphic symbols.
73. Which group of people was probably the most interested in the discovery of the Rosetta Stone?
A. Scholars and anthropologists. B. The Greeks.
C. The French army. D. Modern people.

LAST week’s topic: Some say that the Internet has killed writing. What do you think? What about online writing? What makes it stand out? How is it different from printed work?
LI Hong (Hunan): In ancient times, wood, stone, and cloth were used for writing. Then paper replaced them because paper is more convenient and cheaper. And now, the Internet is coming with advantages over paper. From an historical angle, the Internet will surely kill paper, and then writing on paper.
Anonymous: I don’t read stories online very much though it is convenient. Good literature should be tasted carefully! But computers kill my intuition. That may explain the popularity of letters today.
Songlaipeng (Shandong): I prefer printed work to online writing. Fluent wording, smooth plots and thoughtful ideas are vital principles that writers should observe. However. online publication is so easy and casual that some “modern” works don’t possess these qualities. So I believe online writing is a fad. Think carefully before putting your work online.
Anonymous: I prefer works on the Internet to the books in the bookstores. First, online reading is cheaper, Currently, one yuan might be enough for a book of about 20—30 pages. But one yuan, that is about 20 minutes online, can help you download hundreds of pages and then read later. Second, you can find many unpublished books on the Internet. Third, the Internet usually provides ways for readers and writers to communicate with each other. This is hardly achieved by books.
Anonymous: I’m just a writer on the web. I love writing. But I’m only a common girl without money and confidence to publish my work. So I put my stories on the Internet with an affordable price. This way of publishing helps me achieve my dream and put me together with my readers. So I like it.
Anonymous: More people tend to write or read online because it’s free and has speedy delivery. But I believe books have their own attractions. First, they are portable. You can take them anywhere you’d like to read. Second, reading on screen does much more harm to readers’ eyes than reading books. So, online writing and paper writing have their own advantages and will co—exist.
Anonymous: Security is a big threat to the development of the Internet. Online reading is no exception. Though online works can be protected from natural disasters, looting and arson, hackers can cause damage. So when reading or writing online, bear the security issue in mind.
Sarah (Sichuan): Internet writing gives more chances for students to demonstrate and improve their writing skills. Just like what I am doing now! If 21st Century only accepted standard mail for this column, I would never have a chance to take part in it!
74. Choose the best title for this passage?
A. Different Opinions
B. Advantages of Online Writing and Paper Writing
C. Writing’s Not Really Dead yet
D. Great differences Between Writings
75. What does the underlined word “portable” mean?
A. Movable. B. Light. C. Speedy. D. Valuable.

Why do people play football? It’s a stupid game and dangerous, too. Twenty-two men fight for about two hours to kick a ball into a net. They get more black eyes than goals. Sometimes they even break their bones. Football players must be mad. And why do people watch football matches? They must be mad, too. They certainly shout and scream like madmen. In fact I’m afraid to go out when there is a football match. The crowds are so dangerous. I’d rather stay at home and watch TV. But what happens when I switch it on? They’re showing a football match. So I turn on the radio. What do I hear? The latest football scores. And what do I see when I open a newspaper? Photos of football players. Oh, I’m afraid I may be mad about it some day.
