Paage 2
Education is not an end, but a means to an end.In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them.Our purpose is to fit them for life.
In some modem countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all — one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation.But we
can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degree; they refuse to do what they think ―low‖ work; and, in fact, manual work is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a profeor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food.If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.
In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are neceary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one’s work.Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.
11.The writer of the paage thinks that _______.
A.education can resolve most of the problems in the world.
B.free education for all will probably lead us to a perfect world
C.free education won’t help solve problems
D.not all of the social problems can be solved by education
12.The writer wants to prove that _______.
A.our society needs all kinds of jobs
B.our society needs free education for all
C.a farmer is more important than a profeor
D.working with hands is more important than anything else
13.According to the paage .
A.manual work is dirty and shameful
B.manual work is considered low
C.manual work is the most important D.we can’t regard manual work as low

A.to choose officials for the country
B.to prepare children mainly for their future work
C.to allow everyone to receive education that fits him/her
