【正文】 the autumn of 1926, how, why, or in what manner I have never exactly been able to determine. But probably because the force in me that had to write at length sought out its channel, I began to write my first book in London, I was living all alone at that time. I had two rooms－a bedroom and a sitting room－in a litter square in Chelsea in which all the houses had that familiar, smoked brick and creamyellowplaster look. 51. We may conclude, in regard to the author39。 how, for instance, any and everything in the universe came into existence: men, animals, this or that tree or flower, the sun, the moon, the stars, storms, eruptions, earthquakes, all that is and all that happens. Thunder and lightning are caused when Zeus hurls his thunderbolt. A volcano erupts because a terrible creature is imprisoned in the mountain and every now and then struggles to get free. The Dipper ( 大熊星座) , the constellation ( 星座) called also the Great Bear, does not set below the horizon because a goddess once was angry at it and decreed (命令 ) that it should never sink into the sea. Myths are early science, the result of men 39。 and we do not have to try to find in every mythological heroine the moon or the dawn and in every hero39。t learn anything today. I mean, good heavens, when you think of all the millions of pounds the Government have spent on education－new schools, more teachers, new equipment. And yet still you find people who can39。 s downright disgraceful. I remember when I was young you went to school to learn. You did as you were told and respected your teachers. Nowadays you get longhaired kids who aren 39。 s love of knowledge and reading. Even if the teachers are devoted, it will make no sense if the students are not willing to learn. Wilbert The criticism that what students learn today is not adapted to presentday society is utterly wrong because education can never be seen only in terms of how useful the subjects are when students leave school. We ought to evaluate education in terms of how much the students enjoy those subjects and how much they mean to those students. Instead of being trained to be utilitarian, students should be encouraged to do things for their own sake, and study what they are interested in. Now match each of the persons to the appropriate statement. Note: there are two extra statements. Statements 61. Alien [A] Education is a gradual extension of oneself. [B] Students should get satisfaction out of education. 62. Martha [C] Education standards are higher than in the past. [ D ] Education involves learning as well as teaching. 63. Pritt [E] Many students are spoilt by our presentday educational system. 64. Symons [F] Schools should emphasize practical skills. 65. Wilbert [G] Educational standards are declining.

The Brain and the Computer t learn anything. Martha Well, there are a lot of different views on this, but I think it is probably wrong to imagine that there was some golden age in the past when everything was perfect. It all depends, of course, on what you measure and how you measure it. It may surprise some people that there has not been an obvious and dramatic increase in the standard of education, given the vast amounts of money spent in this area by successive governments in recent years. But unfortunately, most improvements in education are intangible. Pritt Well, if you asked me, it39。t even write their names and don 39。 s expectations 60.
