We share dreams that only money can make real.

A question often put to the specialist on fishes is “How long do fishes live?” This puts the specialist in an embarrassing because he is often unable to give a direct answer to this simple question.
But actually this question is not as simple as it seems. There are thousands of different kinds of fishes, and they vary a great deal in size and life span. Moreover, it is not easy to find out just how long a fish lives in its natural state.
We can find out how old a fish is by studying its scales, but we cannot say how much more time it would live if we had not caught it.
We may rear fishes and record their life span but we cannot be sure that this is the length of time they would have lived, had they been left alone.
We may make marking to show how fast the fishes grow so that we can calculate the age of the largest on record , but unless this large fish dies of old age we are still not in a position to know its natural life span .
(82) Unlike human beings , fishes do not stop growing when they reach maturity (成熟). They continue to grow as long as they live, although the rate of growth slows down in mature fishes. 46. People often ask the specialist on fishes regarding its _____. A. size B. Life C. age D. variety
47. The specialist is embarrassed by the question because______. A. he does not know the answer B. there is no answer to the question
C. it is a silly and simple question for him D. there is no definite answer to this question 48. We can know a fish's age from its ________.
A. weight B. size C. scales D. length 49. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. Different kinds of fishes have different life spans.
B. It is hard for the specialist to know the length of time a fish lives in its natural state. C. Mature fishes grow more quickly than young one.
D. The specialist makes marking to know the rate of fishes so that they know the age of the largest ones.
50. Human being, unlike fishes, __________.
A. stop growing when they reach maturity B. grow faster after maturing C. Continue to grow as long as they live D. have a short life span Passage Three
We find that bright children are rarely held back by mixed-ability teaching. On the contrary, both their knowledge and experience are enriched. We feel that there are many disadvantages in streaming (把----按能力分班) pupils . It does not take into account the fact that children develop at different rates. It can have a bad effect on both the bright and the not-so-bright child. After all, it can be quite discouraging to be at the bottom of the top grade!
Besides, it is rather unreal to grade pupils just according to their intellectual ability. This is only one aspect of their total personality. (83) We are concerned to develop the abilities of all our pupils to the full, not just their academic ability. We also value personal qualities and social skills, and we find that mixed-ability teaching contributes to all these aspects of learning.
In our classrooms, we work in various ways .The pupils often work in groups: this gives them the opportunity to learn to co-operate, to share, and to develop leadership skills. (84) They also learn
