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 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 larger 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 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 46: The writer of the passage thinks that _
A all the social problems can’t be solved by education B free education for all probably leads to a perfect world
C education can settle most of the world’s problems D free education won’t help to solve social problems 47: The writer wants to prove that _
A our society needs all kinds of jobs B a farmer is more important than a professor
C our society needs free education for all D people with high education refuse to do what they think “low” work 48: According to the passage
A work with hands is dirty and shameful B work with hands is the most important
C work with hands is low work D we can’t regard work with hands as low work 49: The purpose of education is _
A to build a perfect world B to choose a system of education
C to let everyone receive education fit for him D to prepare children mainly for their future work 50: The passage tells us about of education
