Choose the item among A, B, C or D: 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 modern countries it has, for some time, been fashionable to think that by free education for all - whether rich or poor, clever or stupid - 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 large number of people with university degree; they refuse to do what they think "low" work; and, in fact, work with hands 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 professor; 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 house, we should get terrible diseases in our own 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 our brains and ability and, secondly, that we can realize that all jobs are necessary 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. 5 : The writer wants to prove that A. our society needs all kinds of jobs B. people with high education refuse to do what they think "low" work C. our society needs free education for all D. a farmer is more important than a professor 6 : The purpose of education is ……………………………………………………… A. to build a perfect world B. to let everyone receive education fit for him C. to choose a system of education D. to prepare children mainly for their future work 7 : According to the passage, …………………………………………………………… A. work with hands is dirty and shameful B. work with hands is the most important C. we can't regard work with hands as low work D. work with hands is low work 8 : The passage tells us about of education.
