A beautiful and very successful actress was the star for a new musical show. Her home was in the countryside, but she did not want to go back there every night, so she bought an expensive house in the centre of the city, got some beautiful furniture and got a man to paint the rooms in new colours.
It was very difficult to get tickets for her show, because everybody wanted to see it. So she decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this would make him work better for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and she heard no more about them until the end of the month, when she got the painter’s bill.

Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school. A teacher，no matter how much he knows can not teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.
　It is always more important to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula(公式). It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in maths. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein，Newton and Galileo didn’t get everything from school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments.
　Above all, they knew how to use their brains.  
61. The subject which is not spoken of in the article is _____
   A. maths    B. history  C. physiology（生理学）   D. physics
62. The teacher’s job is to teach ___________.
   A. everything the students want to know
   B. the students everything that they know
   C. the students some facts of formulas
   D. the students how to learn
63.Einstein,Newton and Galileo did so many things for mankind because_____.
   A. they learned a lot at school
   B. they knew how to learn new things outside class by themselves
   C. they were so useful
   D. they went to college and learned form professors
64. Who does the article say didn’t waste a single moment?
   A. Great people     B. Persons who work as teachers
   C. The great scientist－Newton       D. Great scientists
65. From the passage we know that if we want to be successful, we should________ .
A. Only learn more at school             B. needn’t go to school
B. Only learn science subjects
D. learn to learn at school and learn more outside school

                          C

Spring    temperatures are comfortably warm and temperatures in autumn are pleasantly cool. Years ago, people in the colder parts of the United States did not often eat fresh vegetables and fresh fruit during the winter. Today, however, trucks and trains carry fruit and vegetables very quickly to all parts of the United States. In this way, Americans send their climates to people in other states.
