The husband replied, “I missed a new job opportunity.” When she was 35, the husband angrily told her that he had just missed the bus. At 45, the husband said sadly, “I missed the chance to see my aunt before her last breath.” At 55, the husband said he missed a good chance to retire (退休). At 65, the husband complained. “I missed an appointment (预约) with a doctor,” he said. At 75, the wife did not ask the husband any more, the husband was sitting in front of the very sick wife.Remembering the question the wife used to ask him, this time he asked the wife the same question. The wife, with a smile and peaceful look, replied, “In this life, I did not miss having you!” The husbands eyes were full of tears. He always thought that they could be together forever. He was always so busy with work and trifles (琐事) that he had never been thoughtful to his wife.

Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school; no matter how much the teacher knows, he cannot teach his students everything they want to know. The teachers job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.It is always more important to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula(公式).It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo didnt get everything from school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions at what they read and they did thousands of experiments.（1）What do many people go to school for?A .

Generally speaking, it is often used to describe anything from creative imagination, including works of poetry, drama and fiction.Then why read literature, since it is often imaginary and seems unconnected with real life?A lot of us read literature for enjoyment and relaxation. Its always pleasant to read some interesting books in our spare time. In a modern life full of stress, it is our common wish to read some imaginary works and look for relaxation from the stress in life.Reading literature is more than fun, it also allows us to get knowledge. As a general rule, literature represents a language of a people, and it often helps us know more about the traditions, attitudes and values of the age in which it was written.Sometimes literature can even offer us new, creative ways to have a better understanding of the world. It introduces us to new worlds of experiences. We enjoy the comedy and the tragedy of poems, stories and plays, and we may even grow through our literary journey with books. At last we may discover meaning in literature by looking at what the writer says and how he or she says it. In some ways, we explore the human condition and study the way they think and feel the way they feel. Literature helps us think clearly and encourages us to open minds.So we can certainly say literature is of great importance to us.
