They learn languages, history, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school; no matter how much the teacher knows, he cannot teach his students everything they want to know. The teachers job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.It is always more important to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula(公式).It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo didnt get everything from school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions at what they read and they did thousands of experiments.（1）What do many people go to school for?A . Teaching.B . Books.C . Learning languages.D . An education（2）The teachers job is to teach _.A . everything the students want to knowB . students everything he knowsC . students some facts or formulasD . students the methods of learning（3）Einstein, Newton and Galileo did so many things for mankind because _.A . they learned a lot at schoolB . they learned everything inside and outside schoolC . they were so usefulD . they went to college and learned from professors四、 选词填空 (共1题；共1分)15. （1分）A scientist and an inventor _(is/ are ) giving a speech. 五、 短文填空 (共1题；共10分)16. （10分）阅读下面短文，根据文章大意用所给单词的适当形式填空(未提供单词的，限填一词)，使文章意思完整、正确。 Chinese New Years Day is called Guo Nian in Chinese, which means to pass over Nian or to overcome Nian.In ancient times, there was a monster _(name) Nian.
