Old Morrison was now seventy. He was a rich man. He decided to do something for the people of his town. But first he wanted to find out whether they deserved (值得) his help.
He asked his son to place a very large stone in the center of the main road in the town. Then he hid behind a tree and waited. Soon an old man came with his cow.
“Who put this stone in the center of the road?” said the old man, but he didn't try to remove the stone. Instead, with some difficulty he passed around it and continued his way. Another man came along and did the same thing. Then another came and then another. All complained about the stone in the center of the road but no one did anything to remove it. Later in the afternoon a young man came along. He saw the stone and said, “The night will be coming soon. Some neighbors will come along in the dark later and fall over the stone.”
The young man then began to move the stone. He pushed and pulled with all his strength to remove it. How great was his surprise at last when, under the stone, he found a bag of money and a piece of paper with the words: "This money is for the first honest man who removes this stone from the road."

閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項。
How would you like to teach yourself, rather than have teachers? According to the UK's Department of Education and Skills, students will teach themselves in the schools of the future. This means that there will be no more problems such as finding enough teachers.
Estelle Morris, the UK Education Secretary opened the 2002 Educational Technology Conference in London recently. She presented a video showing a computer-generated model of the school of tomorrow. Greater use of computer technology and classroom assistants will help students develop their own way of learning, Morris said. She added that this is a more exciting, as well as more interesting way of learning. At the same time, teachers will be “freed from their traditional role as the source of all knowledge.” Children of all abilities will “form the curriculum around their individual needs.” They will “learn in their own time, at their own speed and in their own environment”.
At home or at school, they will follow their learning programmes by looking at online libraries and watching lessons by world-class teachers and subject experts. Instead of going on field trips, students will use virtual reality. If they don't understand something, they can ask other students “take part in virtual communities with learners with similar needs. They will hand in their work electronically to be auto-market”.
The classroom of the future is fast becoming a reality. And the Department of Education will soon produce a guide to help schools adapt buildings for new technology. These ideas are based on the UK government's plan to create an education system that provides students to develop their individual skills at secondary school level.
Morris said that enabling students to follow study programmes to their own needs means that, in a class of 15-year-olds, some could be starting university learning while others were still learning to read and write.
A spokesman for the UK's National Association of Head Teachers said, “Nothing can change the fact that today's students need to be taught by a qualified, skilled and enthusiastic teaching force, and they need that now.”
