How to protect children Web fans from unsuitable material on-line while encouraging them to use the Internet has long been discussed in the US.
For some parents, the Internet seems like a jungle, filled with danger for their children. But jungles contain wonders as well as danger and with good guides, some education, and a few precaution (预防),the wilds of the Internet can be safely navigated. “Kids have to be on-line. If we tell our kids they can’t be allowed to surf the Internet, we are cutting them form their future,” said an expert.
Most kids have started to use search engines. Many of them are great for finding tons of interesting Internet sites, and they can also locate places where you might not want your kids to go. There are search engines designed just for kids. A certain software contains only sites that have been selected as safe. The most popular way would be to use what is known as a “content screener”. But this can’t be wholly reliable, and the best thing parents can do is to talk to their kids and let them know that is OK or not OK to see or do on the Internet. Another way is that Mum or Dad is nearly when the child is surfing the Internet.
A few other tips:
---Don’t put the PC in a child’s room but keep it in an area where Mum or Dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.
---Ask your child what he or she has been doing and any friends they made on-line.
---Tell your child not to give on –line strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.
---Tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet pm-line over the phone, sent them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.

44. What is the best way to protect children form improper material?

B. Using a content screener is most reliable for keeping children having ways to the Internet
C. Searching engines can help children to select materials fit for them
D. Children’s not having chances to go to the Internet may have effect on their progress

Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.
In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to one who can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees; they refuse to do what they think “low” work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that: we can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns….
In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work, suited to this brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that it is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable.

47. The writer of the passage thinks that _____________.
A. education can settle most of the world’s problems
B. free education for all probably leads to a perfect world
C. free education won’t help to solve social problems
D. all the social problems can’t be solved by education
48. The writer wants to prove that _________.
A. our society needs all kinds of jobs
B. our society needs free education for all
C. a farmer is more important than a professor
D. people with university degrees refuse to do what they think “low” work

49. The purpose of education is ___________.
A. to choose a system of education
B. to let everyone receive education fit for him
C. to prepare children mainly for their future work
D. to build a perfect world
50. The passage tells us about _______ of education.
A. the means B. the system C. the value D. the type

Directions: Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from the list A~F for each paragraph.

A. The basis of adopting a new pay structure
B. The importance of organization of wages
C. Close relation between payment and differences of jobs
D. Points in job evaluation
E. The value of each job in a pay system
F. Complex pay system

51. _____________
As is known to all, the organization and management of wages and salaries are very complex. Generally speaking, the Accounts Department is responsible for calculation（计算） of pay, while the Personal Department is interested in discussions with the employees about pay.
52. _____________
If a firm wants to adopt a new wage and salary structure, it is essential that the firm should decide on a method of job evaluation（评价）and ways of measuring the performance of its employees. In order to be successful, that new pay structure will need agreement between Trade Union and employers.
53._____________
In job evaluation, all of the requirements （要求）of each job are defined in a detailed job description. Each of those requirements is given a value, usually in “points”, which are added together to give a total value for the job. For middle and higher management, a special method is used to evaluate managers on their knowledge of the job, their responsibility, and their ability to solve problems. Because of the difficulty in measuring management work, however, job grades for managers are often decided without reference to an evaluation system based on points.
54. _____________
In attempting to design a pay system, the Personal Department should compare the value of each job with these in the job market. It should also consider economic factors such as the cost of living and the labour supply.
55. _____________
It is necessary that payment for a job should vary with any differences in the way that the job is performed. Where it is simple to measure the work done, as in the work done with the hands, monetary encouragement schemes are often chosen, for indirect workers, where measurement is difficult, methods of additional payments are employed.
