In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that why free education for all—whether rich or poor, clever or stupid—one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough ; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees refuse to do what they think to be “low” work, and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor.We can live without education, but we die if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work.Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.( )6. The writer of this passage thinks that ________ .A. education can settle all of the world’s problemsB. free education for all probably leads to a perfect worldC. free education won’t help to solve social problemsD. all the social problems can’t be solved by education( )7.

According to the passage ________.A. work with hands is dirty and shamefulB. work with hands is low workC. work with hands is the most importantD. we can’t regard work with hands as low work( )9. The purpose of education is _______.A. to choose a system of educationB. to prepare children mainly for their future workC. to let everyone receive education fit for himD. to build a perfect world( )10. The passage tells us about ________.A. system of educationB. means of educationC value of education D. type of educationCAmericans think much about time. From childhood they learn to value time. As children they are taught to be on time to go to school, to work and to do everything. When they are having a good time, they say that time goes easily. When a person is dying, they say he is living on a borrowed time.Time is money. Time is knowledge. Time is everything in America. An American worker has to work hard for eight hours a day and forty hours a week. This is the working time. In his free time, he also works hard for more money. Even on Saturday and Sunday he also works hard as usual. In the street you can hardly see a man walking slowly. They walk very fast. In fact, they are running.They love time because time can bring them money and lots of things. But sometimes they also hate time, because they feel they have become servants(仆人) of the clock.( )11.
