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 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 don’t 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 don’t 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 well-rounded 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 job B. have more chances to get a good job
C. make less money than others D. spend the best years making money
2.The earliest education was probably to __________.

3.What does the underlined word “well-rounded” 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 themselves B. learn all the subjects very well
C. take an interest in the world D. 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.

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 (详细地),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 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 choose jobs
D. have fewer chances to get a good job

It’s true that every country has its custom.
We all know that in America if people are pleased with you,they will give you a sign “OK”. But maybe you don‘t know this sign is considered to be rude in Brazil.
In Poland, guests usually choose flowers as presents for hostesses(女主人). Remember the number must be an odd(奇数)one. And the hostess doesn’t hope that you remove the cover of the bunch(束)of flowers. You must be more careful when you give red roses to a woman because the red rose means love.
In China we often hear people say that “nodding” means agreement(同意)。 And “shaking the head” means disagreement. But in Bulgaria they mean the opposite.

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true.
Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here are some advice for you to bridge the generation gap (消除代沟).
Don’t argue (争辩) with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go to someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect (尊敬) to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values. The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!
