9. Eton College Situated in Eton, near Windsor in England, north of Windsor Castle, Eton College is an independent boarding school for boys aged between 13 and 18 with an annual charge of 26,490 pound. As one of the oldest schools in the UK, it was founded by Henry IV in 1440 and its initial purpose was to provide free education for pupils from poor families who could not afford private tutors. It gradually developed into an elite school at the 17th century. The schools has cultivated numerous elites in various fields due to the high academic standard and the strict management. It has given birth to 19 British prime ministers with David Cameron as the 19th one and countless figures from the world’s royalty including Prince William and Harry. Other notable alumni include writers Henry Fielding, Percy Shelley, George Orwell and economist John Keynes. Among approximately 250 Eton graduates each year, over 70 of them go to Oxford and Cambridge and 70% of them are admitted to top universities around the world. Eton is not only famous for its elite students, but also for the ancient traditions that it has kept for over 600 years. The school uniform, which is first worn as a morning dress for the death of George III, is made up of a black tailcoat and waistcoat, white shirt, pinstriped trousers and leather shoes. The earliest records of school life date from the 16th century and paint a picture of a regimented and Spartan life. Scholars were awakened at 5 am, chanted prayers whilst they dressed, and were at work in Lower School by 6 am. All teaching was in Latin and lessons were supervised by “praepostors”, senior boys appointed by the headmaster. There was a single hour of play, though even at that time football appears to have been popular, for a sentence set for Latin translation in 1519 was “We will play with a bag full of wynde”. Lessons finished at 8 pm and there were only two holidays, each of three weeks duration at Christmas (when the scholars remained at Eton) and in the Summer. These holidays divided the school year into two “halves” a word which has survived despite the change to a three-term year in the 18th century. 18. Which one of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A、Eton College is only for boys.
B、Eton College is not an elite school in the beginning.
C、Over 70% of Eton graduates go to Oxford and Cambridge.
