Reading is not the only way to gain
knowledge of all the work in the past. There is another way which may be called
experience. College students will find that every craftsman (工匠) has something
to teach and will generally teach gladly if they don't look down on him. The
information from the craftsman differs from that in textbooks and papers because
that its theoretical part -- the explanations of why things happen -- is
frequently quite strange. But the demonstration (示范) of what happens, and how it
happens are correct even if they are in completely unscientific words. Presently
the college students will learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to
reject. Another source of knowledge is the vast store of
traditional practices handed down from father to son, or mother to daughter in
old country customs. M1 this is very difficult for a college student to examine,
for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good
plants from wild grass. The college student should learn to realize and remember
how much of real value science has found in this wide, confused wilderness and
how often scientific discoveries existed in this area long
ago.

单选题The number of people in the world is growing. By the year 2000 world population is expected to grow to 6.2 billion. The fastest growth is in developing countries, where there is already a shortage of food, housing, and jobs. Africa is the fastest-growing part of the world. In Kenya, for example, the population will increase 10 times in the next 80 years.
In Asia, a few countries have begun to reduce their population growth slowly. China still makes up about 21% of the world"s population, but it has greatly slowed down its rate of growth. It is now growing at a rate of only 0.8 % per- year. In India, however, the population continues to grow, and it is expected to be even larger than the Chinese population by the year 2040. The population in India is growing three times faster than in Australia, Japan, and the developed countries in Europe. In fact, European people are more worried about population decrease than increase. Eastern European countries are growing at a rate of only about 1%.
The best news is that, in general, population growth has slowed down — from 2.08% in 1970 to 1.6% in 1985. At the present rate, the earliest time that the world could reach zero population growth is 2040. At that time, there will probably be about eight billion people in the world. It is possible, though, that the population might not really stop growing until much later. With people living longer, the number of elderly will have grown by 15% by that time. Nearly half of the world"s population will be living in cities. This is a situation that could cause a long list of other problems including pollution and a lack of food, water, housing, and jobs.

单选题David Beckham was born in 1975 in London, at a place called Leytonstone. When he was a young boy, his greatest fervency was in football. He played it whenever he had the chance. Sometimes he would go and watch a game with his friends. When David Beckham was 12 years old, he won the Bobby Charlton Soccer Skills award. This was an important step forward for this young boy, and it led him to go for a visit to a football training camp in Spain. As a boy he played for schools of Essex and also for his county team.
In 1991, he became a trainee with Manchester United. This meant that he could practice football as much as he wanted to and play for the highly successful Manchester United Youth Cup team and Under-21 team. In April, 1995 he played his first football league game against Leeds Untied. During 1995 and 1996, David became a regular member of the team and Manchester United won in both football seasons, with David scoring many goals.
His goals made him a household name. In the first game of the 1996~1997 season, he scored a surprising goal from beyond the halfway line; seeing the goalkeeper a little way out of his goal, Beckham became famous overnight. He continued to score astonishing goals, especially from free kicks. The speed of one of his shots was timed at 157 kph. He also had the ability to make the ball go from left to fight, or fight to left, whenever he chose. Goalkeepers were never sure where the ball was going, and it regularly ended up in the goal.
