One day, Wally, one of the wild ducks in the formation, spotted something on the ground. It was a barnyard with a group of _ 36
ducks who lived on the farm. They were waddling (蹒跚而行)around on the ground, quacking （嘎嘎叫）merrily and eating _ 37
that was thrown on the ground for them every day. Wally liked what he saw. "It surely would be nice to have some of that corn," he thought to himself. "And all this flying is very tiring. I'd like to just __38
around for a while."

in a few months. Then I'll rejoin them and become a wild duck again."
When the group flew overhead once more, Wally again tried to _ 52
himself out of the barnyard. But he simply didn't have the strength. Every winter and every spring, he saw his wild duck friends flying overhead, and they would _ 53

第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题：每小题2分，满分40分)
A
Asian parents are spending billions of dollars on private tutors (家庭教师) for their children and the practice is growing despite doubts about its effectiveness, according to an Asian Development Bank study published Wednesday, AFP reported.
"Shadow education" is an expanding business not only in wealthy countries, but also in some of the region's poorer nations as parents try to give their children the best start in life, the study said. Nearly nine out of 10 South Korean elementary pupils receive private tutoring, while the figure for primary school children in India's West Bengal state stands at six out of 10.
The study estimated that the costs of private tutoring in South Korea were equivalent (相等的) to 80 percent of government spending on public education. Japan spent $12 billion on extra teaching in 2011, while the figure for Singapore stood at US$ 680 million in 2009.
Extra academic work aims to help slow learners and support high achievers. Many Asian parents view it as a constructive way for adolescents to spend their spare time. However, it can also reduce the students' time for sports and other activities important for their overall development as well as cause social tensions as richer families are able to pay for better-quality tutoring, the study said.
The study calls for a review of educational systems to make such extra teaching less attractive.
56. Why is “Shadow education" an expanding business?
A. Because parents want to spend their money.
B. Because children don't want to go to school.
C. Because parents want their children to stay with teachers.
D. Because parents want to give their children the best start in life.
57. According to the article, what is the purpose of extra academic work?
A. To aid slow learners and support high achievers.
B. To prepare children for all kinds of academic contests.
C. To increase children's hobbies and interests in many fields.
D. To gain the most knowledge that students can't get in class.
58. Which disadvantage of extra academic work is NOT mentioned?
A. Causing social tensions.
B. Spending more extra money.
C. Lacking the chance to communicate with others.
D. Reducing the students' time for sports and other activities.
59. What is the text mainly about?
A. The government policy on educational systems.
B. How to provide the best education for children.
C. The importance for children's overall development.
D. The reasons for the popularity of private tutors for children.
