Most Americans believe that good education is quite necessary to democracy and social progress. Even during their colonial time the settlers attached great importance to setting up schools for their children, because these puritans（清教徒） were firm believers in education. They tried hard to establish enough schools for their children. The schools were not only to teach children how to read, write and calculate but also to train clergymen（教士，牧师）. The first college, Harvard, was set up in Massachusetts in 1636. Soon after, the colonial government passed a law requiring every town of more than 40 families to have a school and school master. By the mid-eighteenth century several well-known colleges were founded, including Columbia in New York and Princeton in New Jersey. They were used to train young people. Education did not develop very fast in the South where big plantation（农场） owners did not want to build schools for the children of the poor workers and slaves. Children from rich families usually went to England for higher education. This was one the reasons why the South developed more slowly than the North. Colonial schools laid the foundation for American educational system in which all the American schools were left to the care of communities or local authority. Compulsory education has been carried out and primary and secondary education has been open to American children free of charge for many years.

A、quite necessary for social development and democracy

In 1605 some Englishmen planned to kill their king, James I, because they thought he was a bad man. They knew that on November 5th the King would go to the House of Lords (上议院) to talk with his nobles.
The men rented a building next to the House of Lords. They dug through a wall and put many barrels of gunpowder in a cellar (地下室) of the House of Lords. They chose a man called Guy Fawkes to set fire to the gunpowder but something went wrong with their plan. One of the men had a relative who was coming to the House of Lords to meet the King. He warned his relative to stay at home. The relative spoke to other nobles and soon the King heard about the danger. Soldiers searched the cellars and found the gunpowder on November 4th ,Guy Fawkes was caught and killed.
Every year, on November 5th, English children remember Guy Fawkes. They collect old boxes, newspapers and rubbish so that they can make a big fire, which they call a bonfire. They put a pole in the middle of the fire and tie a “guy”to it. “The guy” is the figure of Guy Fawkes and is made of old clothes and paper. Sometimes they push their “guy” round the streets in a cart and ask for money so that they can buy fireworks.
In the evening they light the bonfire and let off many fireworks: crackers, rockets, bangers and many other kinds. November 5th is an exciting day for children in England. It is always a busy day for firemen and for hospitals. Sparks from the bonfires sometimes set fire to fences, trees or houses. Every year children are injured when fireworks exploded unexpectedly.

Banks are not ordinarily prepared to pay out all accounts; they rely on depositors (储户) not to demand payment all at the same time. If depositors should come to fear that a bank is not safe, that it cannot pay off all its depositors, then that fear might cause all the depositors to appear on the same day. If they did, the bank could not pay all accounts. However, if they did not all appear at once, then there would always be enough money to pay those who wanted their money when they wanted it. Mrs. Elsie Vaught has told us of a terrifying bank run that she experienced. One day in December of 1925 several banks failed to open in a city where Mrs. Vaught lived. The other banks expected a run the next day, and so the officers of the bank in which Mrs Vaught worked as a teller had enough money on hand to pay off their depositors. The officers simply told the tellers to pay on demand. The next morning a crowd gathered in the bank and on the sidewalk outside. The length of the line made many think that the bank could not possibly pay off everyone. People began to push and then to fight for places near the tellers’ windows. The power of the panic atmosphere was such that two tellers, though they knew that the bank was quite all right and could pay all depositors, drew their own money from the bank. Mrs Vaught says that she had difficulty keeping herself from doing the same.
A bank run happens when( ).
A、a bank is closed for one or more days
B、too many depositors try to draw out their money at one time
C、there is not enough money to pay all its depositors at one time
D、tellers of a bank take their own money from the bank

A、explain why they could not pay out all accounts

C、make the depositors believe that the bank was safe
D、pay out money as slowly as possible
3、The main cause of a bank run is( ).
A、loss of confidence
B、lack of money
C、crowds of people
D、inexperienced tellers
4、Which of the following did Mrs. Vaught say?( ).
A、She knew that the bank was not sound.
B、She feared that too many depositors drawing their money would close the bank.
C、She was not able to draw out her money.
D、She was tempted to draw out her money.
5、According to the passage, the actions of the depositors of Mrs. Vaught’s bank were affected mainly by the( ).
A、ease with which they could get their money
B、confidence that Mrs. Vaught showed
C、failure of several other banks to open
D、confidence shown by other depositors of the bank

Silicon Valley is a magnet to which numerous talented engineers, scientists and entrepreneurs （企业家）from overseas flock to in search of fame，fast money and to participate in a technological revolution whose impact on mankind will surely surpass the epoch-making European Renaissance（文艺复兴）and Industrial Revolution of the bygone age.

Halloween is a holiday widely celebrated with different names in many countries. Although it originated as a religious holiday, it has lost its religious connections in the United States. It is now celebrated largely as a children’s day, and many American children look forward to it for days and weeks beforehand. The orange pumpkin is harvested at this time of year and is hollowed out, a funny face cut into it, and a candle placed inside as a decoration in the window. City folks, nowadays, sometimes use paper pumpkins for decorations. Some years ago, the holiday was celebrated by dressing up in strange and frightening costumes and playing tricks on one’s neighbors and friends, such as ringing door bells, throwing bits of corn on the window panes, and in other ways making minor disturbances. More recently, children come to the door to have friends and neighbors admire their costumes and guess who they are behind the false faces and receive treats of candies, fruits or cookies. They say, “Trick or Treat”, meaning, “I will play a trick on you if you do not give me a treat.” More recently, this practice has even developed into a significant international activity. Instead of or along with candies, children collect money for UNICEF (United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund). This special collection of money by children for needy children throughout the world is known as “UNICEF Trick or Treat”. Begun only recently, it results in several million dollars each year contributed to UNICEF. The collection box is orange, reminiscent of the pumpkin.

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?” “And Paul – why didn’t I realize that he was friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it’s too late. Why do we go wrong about our friends – or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog.” That’s being friendly. But a “lucky dog”? There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the “dog” bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck. “Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night. How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake.
