Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California’s Santa Freeway．It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home．I couldn’t reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus．Not knowing the routes, I thought I should just go east．
A bus stopped．I got on and asked the driver how far she was going．“Ten more miles,”she said．There was another bus I could take from here．This clearly was going to be a long night．
I got off at the end of the route and she told me which bus to look for．After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home．Then a bus came up．There was no light number above its windshield（挡风玻璃）．It was out of service, but the door opened．It was the same driver．“I just can’t leave you here,”she said．“This isn’t the nicest place．I will give you a ride home．”
“You will drive me home on the bus?”I asked, astonished．
“No, I will take you in my car, ”she said．
“It’s a long way, ”I insisted．
“Come on, ” she said．“I have nothing else to do．”
As we drove from, the station in the car, she began telling me a story．A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas．A good man picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car．“I’m just passing the favour on,”she said．

When people advise your children to“get an education”, they tell you only half the truth. What they really mean is to get just enough education to give manpower for your society.
Get a high school diploma, at least. Without that, you are occupationally dead, unless your name happens to be George Washingon or Thomas Edison and you can successfully stop study in primary school.
Get a college degree, if possible.With a BA, you should start to find a job. You have to put on the brakes now. If you do go for a master’s degree, make sure it is an MBA and only from a first-class university. Otherwise, the famous law of diminishing(报酬递减率)begins to work.
Do you know, for example, that long-distance truck drivers make more money a year than full professors? Yes, each driver was paid $28,000 in 1997 while a full professor managed to get $27,930.
A PhD is the highest degree you can get, but except in a few specialized fields such as physics or chemistry, where the degree can quickly be turned to industrial or commercial aim, you are facing a not very bright future. There are more PhDs unemployed in this country than in any other part of the world by far.
If you became a PhD in English or history or political sience or languages or—in philosophy, you take the risk of becoming over-educated for our national demands.
Thousands of PhDs ars selling shoes, driving taxis, waiting on tables and filling out applications month after month, and then may be taking a job in some high school or college with the pay much less than a door-keeper makes.
( )60.According to the writer, society expects education to turn out people who will .
A.raise their payment B.get employed
C.become specialized in some field D.meet the demands as a source of manpower
( )61.Long-distance truck driver make more money a year than full professors because .
A.the famous law of diminishing functions
B.long-distance truck drivers only get a high school diploma
C.full professors are PhDs in English or history
D.long-distance truck drivers work harder than full professors
( )62.The underlined phrase“put on the brakes”in the 3rd paragraph means “ ”.
A.stop learning for a higher degree
B.take up a master’s degree at once
C.go on studying in a first-class university
D.find an interesting job
( )63.What can we know from the passage?
A.The higher education you get, the more money you will earn.
B.Neither George Washington nor Edison received formal education.
C.There are more PhDs than the society demands.
D.If you are specialized in physics, you can’t get a good job easily.

Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals．They will spoil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively（过分地）, fight other dogs and even bite you．Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing．The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting．
One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train（驯服）it．Obedience training doesn’t solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem．Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog．Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do．
Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order．When your dog obeys a simple request of “come here, and sit”, it is showing obedience and respect for you．It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack（群）by using extreme measures．You can teach your dog its subordinate（从属的）role by teaching it to show submission（服从）to you．Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accepts that you are in charge．
Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog．It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable．A well-traine
