In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education dont. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But this isnt accepted by all the 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 dont 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, either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living. Education is wellrounded 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 all the things he succeeds in. 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 them 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.36. People with little or no education usually _.A. have no abilities to make a living B. have fewer chances to get a good job C. spend the best years to choose jobs D. spend a long time in school37. The writer doesnt accept the opinion that _.A. the purpose of education is to make people get jobs .B. people with better education can get better-paid jobs.C. education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living .D. education is wellrounded.38. The earliest education was probably to_.A. make a man lead a better life B. make people get a way of livingC. teach a man to write and think D. teach people to read good books39. It is expected that educated people will be able to _.A. accept education as a way of living B. learn subjects like language and mathsC. develop their abilities to make plays D. take an interest in the whole world 40. The best title of the reading should be_.A. The Process of Education B. The Purpose of Education C. The Secret of Education D. The Beginning of EducationCWhen people talk about flowers of the Netherlands, a country that is also called Holland, they cant take the tulip(郁金香) off their listDutch(荷兰的) people do love tulips. Do you know the flowers once cost more than houses in the country?The first tulip bulbs(球茎) were brought to Holland in 1593 by a botanist(植物学家) named Carolus Clusius. He planted the bulbs and beautiful flowers came out. But he would not share his bulbs with anyone. Several “businessmen” who saw the flowers also saw a chance to make money. They visited Clusius garden in the middle of the night and stole his bulbs. That was the beginning of the tulip craze in Holland.By 1624, several kinds of tulips were being grown in Holland, but only in small numbers. The flowers were very popular. However, since there were so few bulbs at that time, they were very expensive. Only very rich people could afford to buy them. They spent a lot of money building gardens. It seemed that the more tulips they put in their gardens, the richer they felt. This made the price of tulip bulbs go higher and higher. People started to think they could make a lot of money by selling tulips. Both rich and poor people wanted tulips. Some people even traded their land and animals for tulip bulbs.In late 1636, the tulip craze reached its climax. One single tulip bulb could be sold for $76,000!Soon after, however, tulip traders found that people no longer wanted to pay such high prices for tulips. Tulips became almost worthless. People who had spent a lot of money on their tulips lost everything.41. The tulip was introduced to Holland_.A. to help people get rich B. by several businessmenC. along with some other flowers D. in the final years of the 16th century42. What happened to the tulip bulbs in Carolus Clusius garden?A. They were stolen. B. He sold them abroad.C. They all died in a night D. He traded them for houses.43. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?A. Some animals liked eating tulip bulbs. B. Poor people were not interested in tulips.C. A large number of tulips were grown in 1624. D. People believed tulips were a symbol of wealth.44. What does the underlined word “climax” mean?A瓶颈 B岔口 C高潮 D终点45. What is the best title for the passage?A. A great botanist B. The Dutch tulip craze（短暂的时尚）C. History and kinds of tulips D.
