I felt my life was hopeless, I didnt take an interest in anything. I thought that my whole world was dark.A young boy ran up to me, out of breath. He stood right before me with his head down and said excitedly, Look what I found! in his hand was a flower, and what a poor sight! The flower was dry and dead. I gave him a small smile and then turned my eyes away so that he could take his dry flower and go off to play. I didnt want to talk with him at all.However, he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and said in surprise, It smells sweet and its beautiful, too. Thats why I picked it. Here, its for you. The flower before me was dead. But I knew I must accept it, or he might never leave. So I accepted the flower, and replied, This is just what I want, thank you. Just then, for the first time I noticed that the boy could not see - he was blind.Tears came down my face as I thanked him for picking the best one.

In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education dont. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But not all the people agree with this idea.Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education in order to make more money in the future. This was probably one of the earliest purposes of education. In fact, if education is just a way to make a living, people dont need to spend so much time in school. They can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. And people dont have to learn maths and languages so carefully. So it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.So what is education for? Education is wellrounded and it should improve a man in many ways. 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 world.I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important or the only reason.（1）People with better education usually _. A . have fewer chance to choose a good jobB . have more chances to get a good jobC . make less money than othersD . spend the best years making money（2）The earliest education was probably to _. A . teach a man to think creativelyB . teach people to read good booksC . improve a man in many waysD . help people make more money（3）What does the underlined word “wellrounded” in Paragraph 3 mean in Chinese? A . 圆满的B . 崭新的C . 全面的D . 公平的（4）It is expected that educated people will be able to _. A . write good books by themselvesB . learn all the subjects very wellC . take an interest in the worldD . lead a richer life than others（5）The passage mainly tells us that _. A . making a living is not the only purpose of education.B . people can get education in a short time.C . people should study hard to get better paying jobs.D . all subjects are very important for a way of living.二、 根据句意完成已给出首字母或汉语提示的单词，使补全后的句子意思 (共8题；共8分)4. （1分）China does a lot of t_ with many countries, 5. （1分）The ball is r_ and the box is square. 6. （1分）John is a college student, but he has a p _job as a waiter in a restaurant. 7. （1分）He has a special _(能力) to write with two hand at the same time. 8. （1分）I saw two boys standing up _ (同时). 9. （1分）I cant follow what you are saying.
