　　Long ago there lived a powerful king.Some of his ideas were good，but others caused people to suffer.One of the king’s ideas was to set up a public arena(競(jìng)技場(chǎng))．When a person was accused of a crime，his future would be decided in this arena.It had two doors，side by side，exactly alike.The accused person was taken into the arena and asked to open one.Behind one door was a hungry tiger，while behind the other was a lady chosen especially for him.To this lady he would be immediately married，in honor of his innocence.

　　The king had a beautiful daughter whom he loved very much，and she secretly loved a young commoner(平民)．When the king discovered their relationship，the man was immediately put in prison，and a day was set for him to enter the arena.

　　The princess knew behind which door stood the tiger，and behind which a lady.She also knew that the lady was one of the loveliest in the kingdom.Now and then the princess had seen her looking at and talking to the young man.The princess hated the woman behind that silent door.

　　As he entered the arena and his eyes met the princess’s，the young man knew that she knew behind which door waited the tiger，and behind which stood the lady.The princess raised her hand，and made a short，quick movement toward the right.No one but her lover saw it.Every eye was fixed on him.He turned，and with a firm，quick step he walked across the empty space to the door on the right and opened it.

　　Now，the point of the story is this：Did the tiger come out of that door，or did the lady？The more we think about this question，the harder it is to answer.It involves a study of the human heart.The soul of the princess loved the young man but also burned under the fires of sadness and jealousy(嫉妒)．

　　The question of her decision cannot be easily answered.And so I leave it with all of you：which came out of the open door—the lady，or the tiger?

　　5．Whether the accused was declared guilty mainly depended on ______.

　　A．the king

　　B．the judges

　　C．the viewers

　　D．luck

　　6．The young man was in the arena because he ______.

　　A．had opposed the king's decision

　　B．had fallen in love with a lady the princess hated

　　C．had been revealed to be the princess's lover

　　D．loved two ladies during the same period

　　7．What can we infer from the text?

　　A．The young man would survive.

　　B．The lady behind the door was not worried.

　　C．The king knew what the result of the trial would be.

　　D．The princess would lose her lover regardless of what happened.

　　8．Which of the following is TRUE about the princess's decision?

　　A．It has no influence on the life of the young man.

　　B．It was never revealed to the young man.

　　C．It is hard to understand why she loved the young man.

　　D．The question of it is left open by the author.

　　In a society， such as the United States or Canada，which has many national，religious and cultural differences，people highly value individualism—the difference among people.Teachers place a lot of importance on the qualities that make each student special.The educational systems in these countries show these values.Students don’t memorize information.Instead，they work individually and find answers themselves.There is often discussion in the classroom.At an early age，students learn to form their own ideas and opinions.

　　In most Asian societies，by contrast，people have the same language，history，and culture.Perhaps for this reason，the educational system in much of Asia reflects society’s belief in group goals and purposes rather than individualism.Children in China，Japan，and Korea often work together and help one another in assignments.In the classroom，the teaching methods are often very formal.The teacher lectures，and the students listen.There is not much discussion. Instead，the students recite rules of information that they have memorized.

　　There are advantages and disadvantages to both of these systems of education.For example，one advantage to the system in Japan is that there is much more math and science than American students learn by the end of high school.They also study more hours each day and more days each year than North Americans do.The system is difficult，but it prepares students for a society that values discipline and self-control.There is，however，a disadvantage.Memorization is an important learning method in Japanese schools，yet many students say that after an exam，they forget much of the information that they have memorized.

　　The advantage of the educational system in North American，on the other hand，is that students learn to think for themselves.The system prepares them for a society that values creative ideas.There is，however，a disadvantage.When students graduate from high school，they haven’t memorized as many basic rules and facts as students in other countries have.
