14.It is customary for adults to forget how hard and dull and long school is. The learning by memory of all the basic things one must know is a most incredible and unending effort. Learning to read is probably the most difficult and revolutionary thing that happens to the human brain and if you don’t believe that, watch an illiterate adult try to do it. School is not easy and it is not for the most part very much fun, but then, if you are very lucky, you may find a real teacher. Three real teachers in a lifetime is the very best of my luck. My first was a science and math teacher in high school, my second, a professor of creative writing at Stanford, and my third was my friend and partner, Ed Ricketts.　　My three had these things in common: They all loved what they were doing. They did not tell; they catalyzed a burning desire to know. Under their influence, the horizons sprung wide and fear went away and the unknown became knowable. But most important of all, the truth, that dangerous stuff, became beautiful and very precious.　　I shall speak only of my first teacher because in addition to the other things, she brought discovery.　　She aroused us to shouting, book waving discussions. She had the noisiest class in school and she didn’t even seem to know it. We could never stick to the subject. Our speculation ranged the world. She breathed curiosity into us so that we brought in facts or truths shielded in our hands like captured fireflies.　　I can tell my son who looks forward with horror to fifteen years of drudgery that somewhere in the dusty dark a magic may happen that will light up the years if he is very lucky.The very best of the author is that he

17.June came and the hay (干草) was almost ready for cutting. On Midsummer's Eve, which was aSaturday, Mr. Jones went into Willington and got so drunk at the Red Lion that he did not come back until midday on Sunday. His men had milked the cows in the early morning and then had gone out chatting without bothering to feed the animals. When Mr. Jones got back, he immediately went to sleep on the living-room sofa with the "News of the World" over his face. When evening came, the animals were still not fed. At last, they could stand no longer. One of the cows broke into the door of the storehouse with her horns and all the animals began to help themselves to the grains.It was just then that Mr. Jones woke up. The next moment he and his four men were in thestorehouse with whips in their hands, whipping in all directions. This was more than the hungryanimals would bear. Together, though nothing of the kind had been planned beforehand, theyjumped upon their masters. Mr. Jones and his men suddenly found themselves being struck with the horns and kicked from all sides. The situation was quite out Of their control. They had never seen these animals act like this before. This sudden rebellion of the creatures, which they were used to beating and whipping just as they chose, frightened them. After only a moment or two, they gave up trying to defend themselves. A minute later all five of them were in full fright down the road with the animals running after them joyfully.We can learn from the passage that __________.

根据以下资料，回答46-60题。

Number sense is not the ability to count．It is the ability to recognize a 46 in number．Human beings are born with this ability． 47 , Experiments show that many animas are, too．For example, many birds have good number sense．If a nest has four eggs and you remove one, the bird will not 48 ．However, if you remove two, the bird 49 leaves．This means that the bird knows the 50 between two and three.

Another interesting experiment showed a bird’s 51 number sense．A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦) that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming．The bird did not 52 until the man left the tower．The man had an 53 ．He took another man with him to the tower．One man left and the other stayed, but they did not 54 the bird．The crow stayed away until the second man left, too．The experiment was 55 with three men and then with four men．But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were56 ．It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were 57 able to fool the crow.

How good is a human’s number sense? It’s not very good．For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a 58 group．But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are 59 fooled.

It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human 60 is not much better than a crow’s.46 请在第____处填上正确答案。A.rise，B.pattern，C.change，D.trend
