a. bill gates never thought he would earn so much. b. both gates and lincoln did well at school. c. both newton and gates didnt do well at school. d. beethovens music teacher thought poorly of him.63. what can we infer from the above passage? a. failure is the mother of success. b. success and failure come and go at the same time. c. if you want to succeed, youll have to fail. d. whatever happens, stories of failures help.cthe church of england and other churches often operated primary schools in the united kingdom, where students paid a small fee to study the religion, reading, writing, and arithmetic. in 1833 the british parliament passed a law that gave some government funds to these schools. in 1862 the united kingdom established a school grant system, called payment by results, in which schools received funds based on their students performance on reading, writing, and arithmetic tests. the education act of 1870, called the forster act, authorized local government boards to establish public board schools. the united kingdom then had two schools systems: board schools operated by the government and voluntary schools conducted by the churches and other private organizations.in 1878 the united kingdom passed laws that limited child labor in factories and made it possible for more children to attend school. to make schooling available to working-class children, many schools with limited public and private funds used monitorial methods of instruction. monitorial education, developed by british educators joseph lancaster and andrew bell, used student monitors to conduct lessons. it offered this public education system the advantage of allowing schools to hire fewer teachers to instruct the large number of new students. schools featuring monitorial education used older boys, called monitors, who were more advanced in their studies, to teach younger children. monitorial education concentrated on basic skillsreading, writing, and arithmeticthat were broken down into small parts or units. after a monitor had learned a unitsuch as spelling words of two or three letters that began with the letter ahe would, under the master teachers supervision, teach this unit to a group of students. by the end of the 19th century, the monitorial system was abandoned in british schools because it provided a very limited education.64 what can we know about the church and school in uk?

a. the pupils taught themselves in separate age groups. b. some advanced students taught the less advanced students. c. monitors assisted the teachers in teaching. d. students an age taught each other. 67. the second paragraph focuses mainly on _. a. how schools work in ukb. the history of monitorial education c. the difference between board schools and voluntary schools d. the disadvantages of the uk education systemdi realize that i have spent much of my life waiting for inspiration. ever since i was a child, i have had an inner voice that has guided me through these many years, through all the difficult and painful times, and has provided me with inspiration, guidance and practical help in all the good times and creative times of my life. but there have been times, sometimes long periods of time, when this voice has grown still. gradually i learned that when my inner voice grew still, then it was time for me to be still, to sit quietly and wait. these periods of waiting have always turned out to be some of my deepest teachings. they ceased being my waiting periods and became transformed into periods of deep listening. the more still my inner voice, the more still my mind has to become so that i can listen more intently(專注地). the quieter my mind becomes, the richer each moment becomes. i remember initially (最初) i would be concerned that i had done something wrong. then i would get depressed, impatient, frustrated. but gradually i gave it all up to the stillness. there have been periods when i have had to listen for months. then finally, when i have to completely let go of all my resistance (抑制), when all i can do is bevery, very deep inside there is a slight movement and my heart leaps. i can feel the inner joy begin to arise slowly. the long quiet winter is drawing to a close. i know that spring is coming. 68. what attitude does the author hold about the inner voice? a. dislike.b. cold-hearted.c. thankful.d. doubtful.69. when the inner voice
