21、While Fernando and his wife were waiting in the ticketing line, he heard a man at the counter trying to get a ticket to Las Vegas. He was having trouble. He only had $150 and that wasn’t enough. The ticketing agent(售票员)was pretty unhelpful and told him he needed to go online and look for other ways.
The man kept trying to explain his situation to her but wasn’t getting anywhere. His English was limited, so it was difficult for him to communicate. He was becoming increasingly anxious—and she was becoming increasingly cold.
After he finally turned away from the counter, Fernando went up and asked what was up. He spoke Spanish so Fernando was able to understand his story.
The man had lost his job here in the San Francisco area and had no place to live, and only had $150. He had family who were living in Las Vegas and was trying to get there. He was told he could get a ticket for $150, but told Fernando that he couldn't read, didn't have a computer, and didn't know how to access the internet from the airport—let alone buy a low-cost ticket on the net.
Fernando believed him and wanted to help him. They walked back to the counter and Fernando bought a $330 ticket to Las Vegas for the man.
Fernando didn’t ask for anything and trusted that this guy’s story was true. He followed his heart, because he wanted to help him. And most importantly, he did.
Not only that, a month later when Fernando’s wife was going through the credit card statement, she saw the charge and asked her husband, “Wasn’t that ticket $240? Why is the bill $330?”
Fernando sheepishly replied, “I upgraded (升级) him.”
【1】What prevented the man going home?
A.He lost his money.
B.He missed his flight.
C.He couldn’t communicate.
D.He couldn’t buy a ticket.
【2】What did Fernando do?
A.He lent the man some money.
B.He chose to believe the man’s words.
C.He helped the man explain to the agent.
D.He taught the man to connect the internet.
【3】How did Fernando’s wife feel when seeing the bill?
A.Curious.
B.Annoyed.
C.Proud.
D.Calm.
【4】What can be the best title for the text?
A.A Flight Ticket

C.An Interesting Trip
D.A Helpful Couple
22、Like many other of our lives today, education has become a global enterprise. In microcosm(微观世界), my school is proof of how global. Monkseaton High School is an ordinary state-funded school of 850 students in the unfashionable part of northeastern England. Over the past seven years it has sent 12 students to American universities --- two of them to Harvard. Monkseaton has, in turn, attracted students from other countries, including Germany and Latvia. Monkseaton now almost routinely receives inquiries from students in Eastern European countries. Obviously, learning English is a big draw, but his pattern ofstudent movement was unheard of five years ago.
The brain drain is a universal phenomenon, and countries that don’t face up to the new reality will be losing some of their most precious resources. The northeast of England is its poorest region, and has experienced a severe loss of highly qualified professionals-to-be. Some of the most able 18-year-olds are going to other parts of Britain, even to other countries. What is happening here is happening to Britain as a whole. Most noticeably, there is a growing trend of British students taking degrees in American universities. This year the number will break the psychological barrier of 1,000 students for the first time.
And what is happening at the secondary-school level is happening to higher education. Wherever they come from, today’s students have a very different perspective on education from their parents. Because of television, the Internet and their travels, these students see the world as a much smaller place than their parents once did. They are more confident in accepting the challenge of moving from one country to another, from one culture to another; in many cases they can even apply to schools over the Internet. Students are also more aware of the overall cost of education and are looking for value for money. Plus, for many, education linked to travel is a better option than education at home.
【1】Why does the author say education has become a global enterprise?

23、Geography is the study of the earth, its landforms, features, and inhabitants. 【1】 Recent surveys have brought out disturbing results about the level of knowledge that kids have about geography. It’s high time we should understand how important it really is. So why is geography important?
【2】 Geography consists of the study of our planet, its climatic conditions, the various landforms on the earth, and the different natural occurrences. It includes the analysis of human and natural phenomena, the exploration of earth sciences, and the study of the relationship between nature and human life.
It involves the study of people. The geography of a region affects the lifestyle of its inhabitants. The geographical conditions of a region influence its culture. 【3】 The geography of a region has a direct effect on the art forms, the literature, the food habits and the celebrations and traditions of the people that inhabit it. The study of geography lets us understand the distribution of people around the world and the differences in their ways of living.
It helps with navigation. Maps are an important part of the study of geography. 【4】 The study of maps helps us form a mental image of the distances and locations of various regions on the planet. As geography helps us find places on the earth, it helps improve our navigation skills.
