Marc sat next to me when we were in Hill Junior School. He had a serious in communicating with people. One always had to guess what he was saying. , most of my classmates did not like to be with him because his hands and shirts were always . I tried to let him know the importance of being clean by him several times a day to wash his hands. But he just could not understand.
One day, our teacher Miss West walked up to Marc. saying anything, she took Marc to the washroom. Slowly, Miss West washed his and told him that he should keep himself clean. She did that every day for one month. , Marc understood.
Miss West's love has given me a good example to follow when I my job. I always remember to teach my students by showing them the right to do things. And most important of all, I always remember to give them to learn and to grow up.

What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be an active person who enjoys life. Do you like blue? Then you may be quiet, shy and prefer following to leading.

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 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.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 |
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 |

| A．圆满的 | B．崭新的 | C．公平的 | D．全面的 |
It is expected that educated people will be able to _____.
| A．accept education as a way of living |
| B．take an interest in the whole world |

| A．education should make a man improve |
