But it had _36_ thoughts of its own value, and wonderful dreams of the great place it was to _37_ in the world when the time came for its virtues to be _38_.One day the clay was carried far away in a cart _39_ a stony road. But it was not _40_， for it said to itself: “This is necessary. The path to glory is always _41_. Now I am on my way to play a great part in the world.”But the hard journey was _42_， compared with the suffering after it. The clay was put into a container and mixed and beaten. It seemed almost _43_. But there was _44_ in the thought that something very noble was _45_ coming out of all this trouble. The clay felt sure that, if it could only wait long enough, a wonderful reward was _46_ for it. Then it was put upon a _47_ turning wheel, and turned around until it seemed as if it must fly into a thousand pieces. A strange power pressed and molded it, and through all the dizziness and pain it felt that it was taking a new _48_. Then an unknown hand put it into an oven, and _49_ fires were burning about it. But the clay held itself together, in the confidence of a great future. At last the baking was finished. The clay was _50_ upon a board, in the cool air. The suffering was passed. The reward was at hand. Then the clay saw the reward of all its _51_ and pain，a common flowerpot, straight and ugly. It felt that it was not _52_ for a king's house, nor for a palace of art. Many days it passed in _53_.But presently it was set in a greenhouse, where the sunlight fell warm upon it, and day by day as it waited, something was changing within ita new hope. Still it was _54_， not knowing what the new hope meant. But one day the clay was carried into a great church. All the people looked towards it because it carried a royal lily as white as snow, which was _55_ in its heart. Now it knew what the hope is!Then the clay was content, because, though an earthen pot, it held so great a treasure. ()36. A. deepB. highC. blindD. free()37. A. need B. name C. know D. fill()38.

This might be the ideal investment in reaching the career you wanteither strengthening your knowledge and skills, or taking on a new direction. How do you choose the right postgraduate course?First, decide on the following： subject matter length if it's taught or researchbased if it's full or parttimeIf you're clear about those decisions, and you've checked the entry requirements, the differences between similar courses may be in the four areas below. Which course is most helpful to your career aspirations? What are the employment levels of previous postgraduates? Which course has the strongest connections to employers? What is the reputation of the course among employers?How is the course organized and assessed? How is the course divided? Do you need to pass all parts of it equally? Is the course exambased, continually assessed, or both?Who are the tutors and are they experts in areas you want to learn about? How well recognised are the academic staff in their fields? How much research have they published？Are their theories significant? Use university open days to research your postgraduate options. They're a great opportunity to meet and question academic staff directly. How is the course ranked within league tables? League tables rate courses mostly within broad subject bands including undergraduate degrees and postgraduate qualificationsfor example, you can search to see who is best for architecture. Make sure you check the sources of league tables as they can be prejudiced. The Guardian, The Times and The Complete University Guide are some of the more reasonable places to look. ()56. Which is NOT recommended by the author to consider in choosing the right course?A. your personal conditions B. the popularity of the course itselfC. the structure of the course D. the rankings of the academic staff()57. What is an undergraduate student encouraged to do?A. Take on a different course for postgraduate study. B. Choose a course with lower difficulty in its assessment. C. Go to the university for a facetoface investigation before decision. D. Consult newspapers of all levels for unprejudiced information. BThe splendid aurora light displays that appear in Earth's atmosphere around the north and south magnetic(磁的) poles were once mysterious phenomena. Now, scientists have data from satellites and groundbased observations from which we know that the aurora brilliance is a massive electrical discharge similar to that occurring in a neon sign. To understand the cause of auroras, first picture the Earth enclosed by its magnetosphere(磁层), a huge region created by the Earth's magnetic field. Outside the magnetosphere, rushing toward the earth is the solar wind, a speedily moving body of ionized(离子化的) gases with its own magnetic field. Charged particles(粒子) in this solar wind speed earthward along the solar wind's magnetic lines of force. The Earth's magnetosphere is a barrier to the solar winds, and forces the charged particles of the solar wind to flow around the magnetosphere itself. But in the polar regions, the magnetic lines of force of the Earth and of the solar wind gather together. Here many of the solar wind's charged particles break through the magnetosphere and enter Earth's magnetic field. They then rush back and forth between the Earth's magnetic poles very rapidly and ionize and excite the atoms of the upper atmosphere of the Earth, causing them to produce aurora radiations of visible light. The colors of an aurora depend on the atoms producing them. The leading greenishwhite light comes from low energy excitation of oxygen atoms. During huge magnetic storms oxygen atoms also undergo high e
