What is the real relationship between education and economic development We have to suspect that continuing economic growth promotes the development of education even when governments don’t force it.

Jennifer:

The greenhouse effect might be causing the change, but it&39; s a cycle that&39; s been tracked forabout a hundred years and in the past 20 years or so it just stopped cycling．And this is only affectinga small part of the world．People talk about greenhouse effect because they want to show how muchconcern they have about the future of the world．Don&39; t be as silly as them．

Kac:

Spring just hits here, too．It&39; s so nice--windows open, the fresh air of changing seasons justlights me up．When I was younger this was the season for walking through the melting snow and ice,across roadsides, through square acre forests among the fields, I got so excited to be out in the wild．

It&39;s tough to be in the city this time of year．Maybe I&39;ll go camping soon!

Soscia:

In the city you don&39;t have seasons．Spring rain does not make man-made structure grow, andwet roads are not inconvenient for you because you can move around in your car．Summer&39; s heat isno longer a problem and air-conditioning makes your rooms cool as autumn．The colors of the citydon&39;t change because nature is not powerful enough to change them as she changes the color ofwoods．Winter snow leaves nothing white but muddy roads．

I-Iarno:

Snow in Georgia is a funny thing．We have been having 24 hours weather news on the TV forthe past week, just because there is a threat of snow．Schools have closed based on these predic-tions, and all we got was rain．But the rule is that if it sticks to the ground, school is canceled．Itwould be a great excuse to get the day off．People rush to the grocery store to buy milk and bread--I don&39;t know why, but they do．When I was growing up here we used to get one or two big snow-falls a year, but there has not been any for the last few．Damn global warming．

Madand:

It&39; s been so nice．I am of the firm belief that in February we get the day like cool autumn sea-son in November．．．In February it&39; s like a warm period that&39; s been getting stronger and longer ev-ery year since my boyhood, and it gets defeated by the final blowing snowstorm of March at leastonce, but anyone can survive(生存) those snowstorms, since we all know they&39;ll be gone in a fewdays．

a cottage 【26】______ a river in the heart of the country 【27】______ the whole family was going to 【28】______ a three-week holiday.

en the old-fashioned courtesies.

In an article on the new manners, Ms. Holmes says that a perfectly able woman no longer has to act helplessly in public as if she were a model. For example, she doesn't need help getting in and out of cars. She also says there is no reason why a man should walk on the outside of a woman on the sidewalk.

As far as manners are concerned, I suppose I have always been a supporter of women's liberation. Over the years, out of a sense of respect, I imagine, I have refused to trouble women with outdated courtesies.

It is usually easier to follow rules of social behaviour than to depend on one's own taste. But rules may be safely broken, of course, by those of us with the gift of natural grace. For example, when a man and woman are led to their table in a restaurant and the waiter pulls out a chair, the woman is expected to sit in the chair. That is according to Ms. Ann Clark. I have always done it the other way, according to my wife.

It came up only the other night. I followed the hostess to the table, and when she pulled the chair out I sat on it, quite naturally, since it happened to be the chair I wanted to sit in.

"Well, "my wife said, when the hostess had gone, "you did it again."

"Did what？" I asked, utterly confused.

"Took the chair."

Actually, since I'd walked. through the restaurant ahead of my wife, it would have been awkward, I should think, not to have taken the chair. I had got there first, after all.

Also, it has always been my custom to get in a car first, and let the woman get in by herself. This is a courtesy I insist on as the stronger sex, out of love and respect. In times like these, there might be attackers hidden about. It would be unsuitable to put a woman in a car then shut the door on her, leaving her at the mercy of some bad fellow who might be hiding in the back seat.

It can be concluded from the passage that______.

A．men should walk on the inside of a sidewalk

B．women are becoming more capable than before

C．in women's liberation men are also liberated

D．it's safe to break rules of social behaviour

of Independence. War against the British had already been going on for over a year, so the declaration came as the climax of years of stormy events in America.

The impetus for the American Revolution was the Treaty of Paris in 1763, which ended the struggle between the British and French for control over North America. Since the colonists were no longer frightened by the French, they ceased to rely upon the British for protection and were not as submissive as they were formerly. On the other hand, the British regarded the colonies as a source of revenue and began to impose unfair taxes upon them. The Sugar Act in 1764 and the Stamp Act in 1765 were so eagerly opposed by discontented colonists that rioting broke out. The Stamp Act was repealed in 1766 as a result of the riots.

The British continued their policy of taxation without collaboration with their once obedient subjects. The Townshend Acts (a series of taxes on glass, lead, paper and tea) created such disgust that the citizens of Boston attacked British soldiers who fired upon them. A new tea tax in 1773 again consolidated Boston residents' disagreement. About fifty men disguised as Indians boarded British ships and got rid of their cargo of tea in protest against the tea tax. That was the famous Boston Tea Party. In reprisal, the British abolished the Bostonians' right to self-rule, and by passing what were referred to as Intolerable Acts in Boston, they infuriated all of the colonies and caused them to unite in protest.

Representatives from twelve colonies gathered in Philadelphia in 1774 to plan a stratagem to avoid British interference in trade and to protest the infamy of taxation without representation. The British responded that the colonies were in rebellion, and, since nothing would soothe either side, both sides prepared for war.

According to the passage, the first violent protest against the British was made in ______.

A．1776

B．1765

C．1770

D．1773
