21、Questions21-35are based on the following passage:
All over the word mention of the British education suggests a picture of the "public school", and it suggests in particular the names of certain very famous institutions--Eton, Oxford and Cambridge; but people do not always realize what place these situations occupy in the whole educational system. Oxford and Cambridge are universities each having about 12,000 students out of a total of over 250,000 students at all British universities. (76)Eton is a public school, and the best known of the public schools, which, in spite of their names, are not really public at all, but independent and private secondary schools taking boys from the age of thirteen to eighteen. The public schools in reality form a very small part of the school system of secondary education of Great Britain; only about one out of forty English boys goes to a public school, and one out of 1500 to Eton.
(77) Apart from the so-called public schools there is a complete system of state and secondary education, which resembles in its general form the state education in most other coun-tries. All children must, by law, receive full-time education between the ages of five and sixteen.Any child may attend, without paying fees, a school provided by the public authorities, and the great majority attend such schools. They may continue, still without paying fees, until they are eighteen. The public schools, although unimportant numerically, have been England' s most pe-culiar and characteristic to educational methods, and they have an immense influence on the whole of English educational practice and on the English social structure.

C．A thirteen-year-old boy.

In America Mother' s Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. On that day we send our mothers a special Mother' s Day card, and perhaps some flowers or candy, to show our love and appreciation for all they have done for us. Although Mother' s Day is a relatively new holiday in America, more and more other countries are also setting aside a day to honor.their mothers.
I want to tell you today how the idea of having a special day for mothers began. It all started over a hundred years ago with a woman named Anna May Jarvis.
Anna was born on May 1, 1864, just before the end of the Civil War and the assassination of President Lincoln. She was the daughter of a "minister", which in American English means a church leader. She was a quiet girl who liked to study in school, and she liked everyone and was liked by everyone as well.
After she became an adult, Anna worked for a life insurance company in Philadelphia, Penn-sylvania--a city about halfway between New York City and Washington, D. C.. Then, in 1906,just two weeks after Anna' s 42nd birthday, her mother died. It was the second Sunday in May.
In the months that followed, Anna began to change. (78)No longer was she so gentle, so relaxed and easy-going. Instead she now had just one goal for her life--to have her mother and all other mothers honored throughout the whole world on the second Sunday of May.
After more than a year of careful planning, Anna arranged the first Mother' s Day church service, on May 10, 1908, in Grafton, West Virginia. (79)The next year Anna was able to get the city of Philadelphia, where she lived and worked, to proclaim the second Sunday of Mayas an official Mother' s Day--the first city to do so. After three more years, the state of West Vir-ginia, where Anna' s mother had lived, made Mother' s Dayr.a statewide observance--not a holi-day in the normal sense, but still a day to remember what mothers have done for their children and society.

A．Remark made by people.
B．Action in accordance with custom.
C．Performance of certain tradition.
D．Notice paid widely.
28、How long in all had Anna spent to establish Mother' s Day in West Virginia?
A．From May 10, 1908 to May 10, 1911.
B．For more than four years.
C．For more than three years.
D．For about three years.
29、Choose the right understanding of this passage.
A．Anna was born just before the assassination of President Lincoln who ended the Civil War.
B．Anna was a daughter of a minister which in English means a church worker.
C．Anna' s mother' s death had done a little damage to her easy life.
D．The Mother' s Day celebrated in West Virginia is not a normal holiday, but a day with special meaning.
