Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise. This is an old English saying. It means that we must go to bed early and get up early in the morning. Then we shall be healthy. We shall also be rich and clever.
This is true. The body must have enough sleep to be healthy. Children of young age should have ten hours’ sleep every night. People who do not have enough sleep can’t do their work very well. They won’t be wise and they may not become healthy!
The body also needs exercise. Walking , running , swimming and playing games are all exercise. Exercise keeps the body strong. Exercise also helps the blood （血液）move around inside the body. This is very important. Our blood takes food to all parts of our body. The head also has blood. Exercise helps us think better.If we get up early and go to bed early, we shall be healthy.
Children of young age shouldn’t have ten hours’ sleep every night.
A person needs exercise because it makes him strong.
Exercise also helps the blood （血液）move around inside the body
Exercise can’t help our head think better.
Cyril Dick’s house is neither a modern house nor a house of the future. It is 40 years old. There are more houses like that in the south of France. They are called “bubble houses”, and you can see why!
Cyril Dick is a designer and he loves round things. He collects old records and clocks. He also collects round furniture. And now he has a completely round house.
Everything in the “bubble house” is round. The centre of the house is one very big bubble. This is both the living room and dining room. There are round armchairs, a round table, and a big round rug(地毯) in front of a round fireplace. Around the living room are three small bubbles. One bubble is a kitchen with round shelves, another bubble is the garden room, and the third bubble is a music room. Upstairs there are two more bubbles—a bedroom and a bathroom.
The doors and windows are also round, of course. The window are like eyes. There aren’t any curtains(窗帘) in the house, because Cyril likes to see the garden all the time.
Bubble houses are the idea of a Hungarian architect(建筑师), Antti Lovag. “A lot of modern houses are bad for us, especially tall buildings of flats,” says Lovag. “Because round homes are more natural, people feel happy in them.” Cyril agrees with this. “Some people think my house is funny,” he says, “but for me, this is the perfect home.”You can find more “bubble houses” in the south of France.

What is the third bubble around the living room?

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.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 |

| 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 |
