B

It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs．In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don’t．It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs．But this isn’t accepted by all people.

Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living．This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education．In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don’t need to spend so much time in school．People can get education for a living in a short time．Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone．Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail(詳細(xì)地), either．Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.

Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man．It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities．After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human．Education is to make a man lead a better life．Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and most of all take an interest in the whole world.

I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the main reason.

1.People with little education usually ____.

A．spend a long time in school

B．have a good chance to get a job

C．spend the best years to choose jobs

D．have fewer chances to get a good job

2.The earliest education was probably to ______.

A．make a man lead a better life

B．teach a man to write and think

C．make people get a way of living

D．teach people to read good books

3.The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “_______” in Chinese.

A．圓滿的

B．嶄新的

C．公平的

D．全面的

4.It is expected that educated people will be able to _____.

A．a(chǎn)ccept education as a way of living

B．take an interest in the whole world

C．develop their abilities to make plays

D．learn subjects like language and math

5.The passage mainly tells us that _______.

A．education should make a man improve

B．people can get education in a short time

C．people should be able to get better paying jobs

D．a(chǎn)ll subjects are so important for a way of living

"What's the difference?" the farmer said angrily．"If I had planted it near the road, strangers would have stolen the fruit．If I had planted it in one of my fields, my neighbors would have come at night and stolen some of the apples．If I had planted it near my house, my own children would have taken the fruit," "Yes," said the friend, "but at least someone could have enjoyed the fruit．Now you not only have got nothing, but also you have destroyed a good apple tree."
