Second, in both cases, the temples appear to have been _55_ just after they were completed. Why were they left alone, _56_ in the mountains of Java? Perh
29、aps it is due to the eruption of the volcano, Mount Merapi. It certainly took a great deal of effort to build the monuments, so why would use come to a standstill without a very good reason?

32、, Evancell Towne, stepped forward. “ I am not going to die,” she said _61_. “I have heard that if you follow a little stream it empties into a big stream and finally you come to a town.

53、ty, other, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it. 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 e
54、quality 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.

55、ch 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,
56、 while the lake of certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a wellrespected school.

65、their childrens education is a priority at their school, but only 25described their experience working with parents as “very satisfying.” When asked to choose me biggest challenge they face, 31 of them quoted involving parents and communicating with them as their top choice. 73of new teachers said t
