不知何时,有了高级中学会考制度。会考科目数量未考。不过,无监考、无摄像两条很有趣。不知这种会考制度对高中生有何意义?

祖国的教育政策越发有趣。不知道如何评说,应该睡上三十年,再苏醒过来,不知道到时候,太阳到了什么阶段。

The Friar

A Friar there was, a wanton and a merry,
A limiter, a full solemn man.
In all the Orders Four is soon that can
So much of daliance (social intercourse) and fair language.
He had made many a fair marriage
Of young women at his own cost:
Unto his order he was a noble post.
Full well beloved and familiar was he
With franklins over all in his country,
And also with worthy women of the town,
For he had power of confession,
As said himself, more than a curate,
For of his order he was licenciate.
Full sweetly heard he confession,
And plesant was his abolution.
He was an easy man to give penance
There as he wiste (knew) to have a good pitance (financial reward),
for unto a poor order for to give
Is sign that

The Monk

A monk there was, a fair for the maistrie [a fine figure of a man]
An out rider, that loved venerye [hunting]
A manly man, to be an abbot able.
Full many a dainty horse had he in stable,
And when he rode, men might his bridle hear
Jingling in a whistling wind as clear
And also as loud, as does the chapel bell.
there as this lord was keeper of the cell,
The rule of Saint Maure, or of Saint Benedict,
By cause that it was old and somdel streit [somewhat strict]
This same Monk let old things pace,
And held after the new world the space.
He gave  not of that text a pulled hen,
That says that hunters are not holy men,
Nor that a monk, hwn he is cloisterless,
Is likened till a fish that is waterless:
This is to say

The Prioress

There was alos a nun, a prioress,
That of her smiling was fully simple and coy:
Her greatest oath was but , 'by Saint Loy,'
And she was clept Mandam Englentyne.
Full well she sang the servic devine,
Intoned in her nose full seemly [becomingly],
And French she spoke full fair and fetysly [fashionably],
After the school of Stratfor-at-Bow,
For French of Paris was to her unknown.
At mete [food] well taught was she withall-
She let no morsel from her lips fall,
No Wet her fingers in he sauce deeply.
Well knew how to she carry a morsel and well keep
That no drop fell upon her breast:
In curtesy was set all her zest.
Her over-lip wiped she so clean,
That in her cup was no

The Squire

With him there was his sone, a young squire,
A lover and a lusty bachelor,
With locks curly as they were laid in press,
Of twenty year he was of age, I guess.
Of his stature he was of even length,
And wonderfully delyver [lithe] and great of strength,
And he had been some time in chivalry
In Flanders, in Artois and in Picardy;
And bore himself well as in so little space
In hope to stand in his lady grace.
Embroidered was he as it were a meadow,
All full of fresh flowers, white and red.
Singing he was, or flute-playing [whistling], all the day
He was as fresh as is the month of May.
Short was his gown with sleeves long and wide:
Well knew how to he sit on horse, and fairly ride.
He knew [how to] songs wel

THE KNIGHT

A knight there was, and that a worthy man,
That from the time that he first began
To ride out, he loved chivalry,
Truth and honour, freedom and curtesy,
Full worthy was he in his lord's war,
And thereto had he ridden, no-man further,
As well in Christendom as heatheness,
And ever honoured for his worthiness.
At Alexandria he was when it was won;
Full oft time he had the board bygonne (head of table)
Above all nations in Prussia
In Lithuania had raided and in Russia.
No Christian man so oft of his degree:
In Granada at siege had he be,
At Algeciras, and riden in Belmerie;
At Ayas was he, and at Satalye -
At many a noble arm had he be
When they were won, and in the great sea
At mortal battles had he been fifteen,
And fought for our faith at Tramassene
In last three, a

Introduction

When that April, with his showers sweet,
The drought of March has pierced to the root
And bathed every vein in such liquor,
Of which virtue engendered is the flower;
When Zephyr also with his sweet breath
Inspired has in every holt and heath
The tender crops [shoots], and the young sun
Has in the Ram his half course run,
And small fowels make melody,
That sleep all the night with open eye
(So pricks them Nature in their corages [natual desires]);
Then long folk to go on pilgrimages
And palmers for to seek strange stronds [shores]
To foreign shrines, known in sundry lands;
And specially, from every shire's end
Of England, to Canterbury they went,
The holy blissful martyr for to seek,
That them had helped
