37、f the morning when we reached London Airport. I had rung London from Amsterdam, and there was a hired car to meet, but there was one more unfortunate happening before I reached my flat. In all my travels I have never, but for that once, been required by the British customs to open a single bag or to

38、 do more than state that I carried no goods liable to duty, or rather, to declare. It was, of course, my fault; the extreme tiredness and nervous tension of the journey had destroyed my normal state of mind. I was, for whichever reason, so tired that I could hardly stand, and to the question, “have

39、you read this?” I replied with extreme foolishness, “Yes, hundreds of times.”“And you have nothing to declare?”“Nothing.”“How long have you been out of this country?” “About three months.” “And during that time you have acquired nothing?”“Nothing but what is on the list I have given you.”He seemed m

40、omentarily at a loss, but then he attacked. The attack, when it came, was completely unexpected.“Where did you get that watch?”I could have kicked myself. Two days before, when playing water games with a friend in the bath, I had forgotten to take off my ROLEX OYSTER, and it had, not unnaturally, st

41、opped. I had gone into the market and bought, for no more than ten pounds, an ugly time piece that made a strange noise.

42、f he would confiscate the replacement.“It is not a question of confiscation; you will have it,” he said, “there is a fine for failing to declare dutiable goods.

46、ap watch must have been confiscated.60. What do you think is the tone of the story?A. Serious. B. Critical. C. Humorous. D. Objective.CIn most countries in the world, governments require children to attend schools in which trained teachers are responsible for educating the children using an approved

47、 curriculum. However, a sharply increasing number of parents believe that it is much better for their children to be educated at home by the people who know them and their needs best. Today, it is estimated that about one million home schooled children in the United States and tens of thousands of o

48、ther learners around the world are learning outside of school. Now that home schooling is growing worldwide, the real-world experiences of learners show that schools are not always necessary for learning. Therefore, an increasing number of parents are deciding that home schooling is the best option

49、for their children. They are unhappy with the quality or depth of education offered in the schools, or have other reasons why they feel that conventional schools (some people would rather call “normal schools” or “traditional schools”) are not suitable for their children. One reason is social factor

50、s. Parents worry that their children will suffer from bullying(欺负) or will be forced into bad behavior by peer pressure. They believe that the good behavior they have taught the child will be lost in school. Another reason is concern over the quality of schooling available. Schools frequently have l

51、arge classes and they are often under-funded and stuffed with teachers without sufficient knowledge of their subjects. In the third place, other parents may disagree with the aims of the school curriculum, preferring for academic, social or cultural reasons to keep their children separate. However,

52、there are many arguments in favor of sending children to conventional schools. The first is that the children will be exposed to other children. And they will interact with each other and develop social skills. A second point is that the children will learn to function outside the family. They will

53、not be dependent on their parents for their educational, emotional and social needs. A third point is that the children will find it easier to integrate (融入) when they finish school, as they eventually will, when they start work or college.All in all, while many parents work hard to teach their

54、 children at home, conventional schools are still the right choice for most children. Schools are not perfect, but they seem to be a proven way of preparing our children for the real world. After all, education is not only about learning facts and figures, but also about learning how to survive soci

55、ally.61. It seems that more and more people come to realize that _.A. teachers should know their students needs better.B. children should be educated at school.C. children should learn by themselves.D. children should be educated at home.62. What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A. The reaso

56、ns why parents choose home schooling. B. Parents care much for their young children. C. Parents are forced to accept home schooling. D. The quality of education at conventional school is bad.63.
