Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changedno examination is perfectbut to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in school or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher. Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to thema form of favourtism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an illrespected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lake of certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a wellrespected school. This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child form a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her schools reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favoured school. The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer. 40. The word “favouritism” in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that_. A. bright children also need certificates go get satisfying jobs. B. children from wellrespected schools tend to have good jobs C. poor children with certificates are favoured in job markets D. children attending ordinary schools achieve great success 41. What would happen if examinations were taken away according to the author? A. Schools for bright children would lose their reputation. B. There would be more opportunities and excellence. C. Children from poor families would be able to change their schools. D. Childrens job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation. 42. The opponents of the examination system will agree that _. A. jobs should not be assigned by systematic selection B. computers should be selected to take over many jobs C. special classed are necessary to keep the school standards D. schools with academic subjects should be done away with 43. The passage mainly focuses on _. A. schools and certificates B. examination and equality C. opportunity and employment D. standards and reputation CBobby Moresco grew up in New Yorks Hells Kitchen, a tough working-class neighborhood on Manhattans West SideBut Hells Kitchen lies right next door to Broadway, and the bright lights attracted Bobby from the time he was a teenBeing stage-struck was hardly what a street kid could admit to his partnersFearing their ridicule, he told no one, not even his girlfriend, when he started taking acting lessons at age 17If you were a kid from the neighborhood, you became a cop, construction worker, longshoreman or criminalNot an actor Moresco struggled to make that long walk a few blocks eastHe studied acting, turned out for all the cattle callsand during the decade of the 1970s made a total of $2,000I wasnt a good actor, but r had a driving need to do something different with my life he saysHe moved to Hollywood, where he drove a cab and worked as a bartenderMy father said, Stop this craziness and get a job; you have a wife and a daughter But Moresco kept working at his chosen craftThen in 1983 his younger brother Thomas was murdered in a mob-linked killingMoresco moved back to his old neighborhood and started writing as a way to explore the pain and the patrimony （遗产） of Hells KitchenHalf-Deserted Streets, based on his brothers killing, opened at a small Off-Broadway theater in 1988A Hollywood producer saw it and asked him to work on a screenplayHis reputation grew, and he got enough assignments to move back to HollywoodBy 2003, he was again out of work and out of cash when he got a call from Paul Haggis, a director who had befriended himHaggis wanted help writing a film about the country after September 11The two worked on the writing, but every studio in town turned it downThey kept pitching （竭力推销） it Studio executives, however, thought no one wanted to see a severe, honest vision of race and fear and lives in collision in modern AmericaMoresco believed so strongly in the script that he borrowed money and sold his houseHe and Haggis kept pushingAt last the writers found an independent film producer who would take a chance, but the upfront money was too littleMoresco delayed his salaryCrash slipped into the theaters in May 2005, and quietly became both a hit and a critical successIt was nominated for six Academy Awards and won threeBest Picture, Best Film Editing and Best Writing （Original Screenplay） by Paul Haggis and the kid from Hells KitchenAt age 54, Bobby Moresco became an overnight successIf you have something you want to do in life, dont think about the problems, he says, think about other ways to get it done44Rearrange the following statements in terms of time order:aHis work Half-Deserted Streets drew attention as it opened at a small Off-Broadway theaterbUnexpectedly Crash became both a hit and a huge successcHe moved to Hollywood to be a taxi driver and a waiterdHe started to learn acting in spite of hardness with the belief of doing something differenteHis younger
