I. Read the passage and answer the questions ( 20/150 points).

According to Xiao Li, the fifteen students of his class fall into three groups. Seven of them work hard and study well. They always get good marks in examinations and are often praised by the teachers. Li calls them “ good students.” The monitor, the secretary of the Youth League branch, and the captain of the class volleyball team, are quick in finding out what their fellow students are interested in or what they should do as a collective. They always organize proper activities at the proper time, so Li calls them “ good organizers”. Four other students are very kind to other classmates, always ready to lend them a helping hand. They also help clean the classroom and the corridor even when they are not on duty. Li says that they are “ good fellows.” “ What about you?” someone asks him. “ I’m a group by myself------a good observer.”

Here is the comment on the above passage. “ The writer’s way of classifying his classmates , though unscientific, is suited to his purpose”.

Questions:

1. Why is it unscientific?

2. How does it suit its purpose?

II. Read the passage and write a précis of approximately one-third of its original length ( 25/150 points ).
