The chief duty of every government is to protect persons and property, More than three-fourths of the money spent by our government is used for this purpose. The next largest amount of public money goes to teach and train our citizens. Billions of dollars each year are spent on schools and libraries. Public money is used to pay the teachers and other public officials.
Years ago the government made money from the sale of public lands. But most of the best public lands have now been sold. The money raised was used to help pay the cost of government. There are still some public lands that contain oil, coal, gas, and other natural products. They could be sold, but we want to save them for future years. So we all must pay our share for the services that make our lives comfortable.
What's the chief duty of every government?
A.To protect persons and property.
B.To collect taxes.
C.To teach and train citizens.
D.To save natural resources for future use.

Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystalclear memory of the dogs, the farm animals, the local birds, and above all, the insects.
I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world and my enthusiasm had led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil while reading about other people's observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle, because it all seems to fit together. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers, and books, which some might honour with the title of scientific research.
But curiosity, a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist: one the outstanding and essential qualities required is se]f-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist requires not only self-discipline but hard training, determination and a goal. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.
The first paragraph tells us the author ______. ()
A.was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood
B.lost his hearing when he was a child
C.didn't like his brothers and sisters
D.was born to a naturalist's family
The essays are on the new website, "revise. it"
The website includes an "EssayLab" designed to make cheating(舞弊) as effective and effortless as possible.
Its homepage announces to surfers (网上冲浪者): "The revise, it EssayLab is a bank of hundreds of A-Level essays covering popular topics."
"Next tine you are asked to write an essay, why not see what we have on the subject--if you are in a lazy state of mind you can even use our guide to writing the essays and then just hand them in."
Nick Rose and Jordan Mayo, both 19 and first from Manchester, spent much of their first year as students at the university setting up the website. There is no charge for downloading the essays.
"I have never been very good at essay writing," Rose admitted. "We don't see essay bank as a cheating way. It's a surprising valuable resource. You can learn a lot by reading other people's work on the subject."
Among other tips, the website suggests inventing important speeches to give essays extra weight: "Popular people to quote(引用) are Douglass Hurd or Disraeli."
Hurd was a foreign secretary in the 1980s and Disraeli was a 19th century prime minister.
Teachers are expressing their opinions by e-mail that they are angry about the website that "encourages students to cheat", but students disagree.
According to Rose: "Exams are a fight. It's us against them. "
It can be inferred from this passage that ______.
A.students who visit the website "revise. it" are all lazy
B.students in Oxford University are all lazy
C.websites in Oxford University are all set up by students
D.websites can provide people with different kinds of information
