Passage One
There is a popular belief among parents that schools are no longer inlerested in spelling. No school I have taught in has ever ignored spelling or considered it unimportant as a basic skill.There are, however, vastly different ideas about how to teach it, or how much priority it must be given over general language development and witing ailiy. The problem is, how to encourage a child to express himself freely and confidently in writing without holding him back with the complexities of spelling.
If spelling becomes the only focal point of his teacher's interest, clearly a bright child will be likely to”play safe". He will tend to write only words within his spelling range, choosing to avoid adventurous language. That's why teachers often encourage the early use of dictionaries and pay attention to content rather than technical ability.
I was once shocked to read on the bottom of a sensitive piece of writing about a personal experience:“This work is terrible! There are far too many spelling errors and your writing is illegible(难以辨认的).”It may have been a sharp crticism of the pupil' s technical abilities in writing, but it was also a sad reflection on the teacher who had omitted to read the essay ,which contained some beautiful expressions of the child 's deep feelings. The teacher was not wrong to draw attention to the errors, but if his priorities had centred on the child' s idea , an expression of his disappointment with the presentation would have given the pupil more motivation to seek improvement.
Teachers are different in their opinions about____

Passage Two
It was Ann' s first experience of fying. She had always been afraid of heights and so was prepared to be frightened. Only the fact that she was going to meet her son who she had not seen for three years had given her the courage to make the flight.
She sat in her seat, her hands gripping its arms , her seat belt already fastened. The air hostess was talking, telling everyone what to do in case of emergency , showing them where their life-jackets were. The plane was crowded, and every seat was full. From her window seat, getting out in a hurry would be impossible, thought Ann. In any case who would want to get out of a plane in mid-air?
The engines began to shake- the noise increased till it was like a great rushing wind. She looked out to see the runway slip past at atonishing speed. She wanted to cry out- -to stop the plane before it left the ground, but she knew she was trapped in this great roaring machine. I must scream, she told herself, and put her hands over her eyes.
There was a strange feeling as if she were going up in a lift. The noise died down. Carefully she opened her eyes. Through the window she saw a great carpet of cloud above,so beautiful that she stared in wonder, hardly turming away from the window till they touched down.
Ann thought she would be frightened because

Passage Three
In ancient times wealth was measured, and exchanged in things that could be touched: food,tools, and precious metals and stones. Then the barter system was replaced by coins , which still had real value since they were pieces of rare metal. Coins were followed by fiat money , paper notes that have value only because everyone agrees to accept them.
Today electronic monetary systems are gradually being introduced that will transform money into even less tangible forms , reducing it to a series of“bits and bytes”, or units of computerized infomation, going between machines at the speed of light. Already , electronic fund transfer allows money to be instantly sent and received by different banks , companies , and countries through computers and telecommunications devices.
Which of the following would be the most appropriate title for the passage?

Passage Five
There was a river with a small town on either side of it. The towns were linked by a bridge.
One day,a hole appeared in the bridge.Both towns agreed that the hole should be mended. However, disagreement came up as to who should mend it. Each town thought that it had a better reason for the other to mend the hole. The town on the right bank said that it was at the end of the road,so the left-bank town should mend the hole. The town on the letf bank , on the other hand, insisted that all the traffic came to the right-bank town, so it was in their interest to mend the bridge.
The quarrel went on and on, and so did the hole. The more it went on, the more the hostility between the two towns grew.
One day a man fell into the hole and broke his leg. People from both towns questioned him closely about whether he was walking from the right bank to the left or from the left bank to the right , in order to decide which town should be blamed for the accident. But he could not remember, since he got drunk that night.
Some time later, a car was crossing the bridge and broke an axle(轴) because of the hole, Neither town paid any attention to the accident, as the traveler was not going from one to the other, but was merely passing through. The angry traveler got out of the car and asked why the hole was not mended.
On hearing the reason, he declared,“I' ll buy this hole. Who' s the owner?”
Both towns at once declared that they owned the hole.
“One or the other, whoever owns the hole must prove it.”
“How shall we prove it?" asked both sides.
“That' s simple. Only the owner of the hole has the right to mend it. I'll buy the hole from whoever mends the bridge.
People froin boh towns rushed to do the job while the traveler smoked a cigar and his driver changed the axle. They mended the bridge in no time and asked for the money for the hole.
“What hole?" The traveler looked suprised.“I can' t see any hole. I' ve been looking for a hole for several years now. I' m prepared to pay a good price for it, but there' s no hole here. Are you puling my leg or what?"
He got into his car and drove off.
What did the two towns quarrel about?
