On the first day of school our teacher introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know．I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder．
I turned around to find a little old lady with a warm smile．She said, “Hi, handsome．My name is Rose．I’m eighty-seven years old．”
“Why are you in university at such a YOUNG age?” I asked．She replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids, and then retire and travel．”
I knew she was joking．I was curious what might have encouraged her to be taking on this challenge at her age．
“I always dreamed of having a university education and now I’m getting one!” she told me．We became friends．Every day we would talk nonstop after class．I always enjoyed listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me．And Rose easily made friends wherever she went．
At the end of the term we invited Rose to make a little speech．She cleared her throat(喉咙) and began, “We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing．I’ve learned a few secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success．You have to laugh and find humor every day．You’ve got to have a dream．When you lose your dreams, you die．”
“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up．Anybody can grow older．That doesn’t take any talent or ability．The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity(机会) in change．．．”When the author and Rose first met, they began their conversation in a ________ manner．
| A．polite |
| B．impolite |
| C．serious |
| D．humorous |

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 |
| D．teach people to read good books |
The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “_______” in Chinese.
| 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 |
| C．develop their abilities to make plays |
| D．learn subjects like language and math |
The passage mainly tells us that _______.
| A．education should make a man improve |
| B．people can get education in a short time |
| C．people should be able to get better paying jobs |
| D．all subjects are so important for a way of living |
