There was little in his childhood background (4…) the remarkable prestige that Confucius (42…… ) achieved. He
was born in a small principality in northeastern China, was reared in poverty and had no formal education. Through
diligent study, however, he educated himself and became a learned man. For a while he held a minor government
post; but he soon resigned that position and spent most of his life as a teacher. Eventually, his most important
teaching were gathered together into a book, the Analects, (43- ________) by his disciples.
The two cornerstones of his system of personal conduct were jen and Ii. Jen might be defined (44…..) ‘benevolent
concern of one’s fellow men.’ Li is a term less easily translated: it combines the notion of iquette, good manners,
and dueconcern and virtue rather than wealth (and in his personal life he seems to have acted on that principle).
(45- _____), he was the first major philosopher to state the Golden Rule, which he phrased as ‘Do not do unto
others that which you would not have them do unto you.’

READING
The ideas of John Dewey, philosopher and educator, have influenced American thought for over one hundred
years. Dewey was born in Vermont in 1859, and throughout hi life he kept the respect for experience, individuality,
and fair play that shaped the character of the nineteenthcentury Vermonter. He viewed his own life as a
continuously reconstructive process -. with experience and knowledge building on each other.
By the 1930s, Dewey had simplified his theory of experience to its essence. As the intellectual leader of the
progressive schools, he asserted that there was danger in rejecting the old unless the new was rooted in a conect
idea of experience. He held that experience is an interaction between what a person already knows and the situation
at hand. Previous knowledge interacting with the present environment influences future experience.
Dewey be1ievd that experience could not be equated with education because all experiences as not necessarily
educative. Experience ids educative only when it contributes to the growth of the individual, but it can be
miseducative if it distorts the growth of further experience. It is the quality of experience that matters. Thus,
productive experience is both the means and the goal of education. Furthermore, since education is a social process,
truly progressive education involves the participation of the learner in directing the learning experience.
During his long life, Dewey lectured and published prolifically. These writings were influential both during his
lifetime and after his death at the age of ninety-two. He viewed his whole life as an experiment which would
produce knowledge that would lead to further experimentation. The range and diversity of Dewey’s writings and
his influence on society place him among American’s great thinkers.

GAP-FILLING JOB INTERVIEWS
Interviewers are an imperfect method of choosing the best people for jobs, yet human beings like to examine each
other in this way. One of the many problems of (41- ) as it is commonly practiced is that the forms filled in by (42-
_____) often fail to show people as they really are. This means that you can follow all the best advice when
completing your form and still’ find that you are (43- ) at the next stage - the interview. (44- ) in the rare cases
where interviews are automatic, a candidate with an inadequate form may do surprisingly well.
Of course, your form needs to show that you have confidence in your ability to do the job, (45 ) to turn yourself
into someone else - a person you have to pretend to be at the interview. Realism and honesty are definitely the best
approach.

READING
Accreditation is a system for setting national standards of quality in education. The United States is unique in the
world because its accreditation system is not administered by the government, but rather by committees of
educators and private agencies like the Middle States Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools and the
Society of Engineers. Before registering to study in any educational institution in the United States, a student
should make certain that the institution is accredited in order to assure that the school has a recognized standard of
organization, instruction, and financial support. Foreign students should be particularly careful to check an
institution’s accreditation because other governments or future employers may not recognize a degree earned from
a school that has not received accreditation. If a college is accredited, catalogs and brochures will usually indicate
the accreditation status. If you are not sure about a certain school, don’t hesitate to check its reputation with an
education officer at the nearest U.S. embassy.
46. What should students do in order to check the accreditation of a school
that may interest them?
A. Write to the school. B. Write to the U.S. Ministry of Education.
C. Register to study at the school. D. Consult a U.S. embassy official
47. According to the author, all of the following statements are true of the accreditation system in the United States
EXCEPT
A. The accreditation on status of a school will be listed in its catalogs and brochures.
B. Future employers will be influenced by the accreditation of a candidate’s school.
C. Accreditation provides information about the standards of instruction and organization of a school.
D. The accreditation system is like that of many other countries.
48. The word “unique” in sentence the sentence 2 most nearly means
A. unusual B. first C. standard. D. large
