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 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 math 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 well -rounded 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 the achievements of human. 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 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. （1）People with little education usually .A . spend a long time in schoolB . have a good chance to get a jobC . spend the best years to choose jobsD . have fewer chances to get a good job（2）The earliest reasons of education was probably to .A . make a man lead a better lifeB . teach a man to write and readC . make people get a way of livingD . teach people to read good books（3）The underlined word well-rounded in the passage means in Chinese.

The high reward attracted so many people, but in the nature, besides golden, the marigold is brown, and it is not easy to get the white one. So after they were excited for a time, many people had forgotten the announcement.One normal day after 20 years, the college received a letter and 100 seeds of pure white marigold. It was an old woman of over 70 years old. Some experts in the college doubted it, but in order not to let her down, those seeds finally took root (根）in the earth. The miracle appeared after one year; the field was covered by pure white marigold.Therefore, the old woman who was always unknown to the public became a new focus.The old woman was a flower-lover.

She planted some of the most common seeds and took good care of them. A year later, when the marigold came out, she chose one faintest(最暗淡的) from those golden and brown flowers and got the best seed. The next year, she again grew them and chose.Day after day, year after year, through many seasons, the old womans husband died, her children flew far, a lot of things happened in her life, but only the wish to grow the pure white marigold took root in her heart.Finally, after 20 years on the day we all know, in the garden she saw a marigold, which was nearly white, but as white as silver or snow.A problem even experts couldnt deal with was solved by an old woman who didnt understand genetics. Was it a miracle (奇跡）?To take root in the heart, even the most common seed, can grow into a miracle!（1）According to the passage, _ marigold is unusual.A . whiteB . purpleC . brownD . golden（2）It can be learned from the passage that_.A . the children didnt agree on their mothers decisionB . the woman needed the great reward for her big familyC . the experts also succeeded in growing the white marigoldD . the woman took good care of the flowers instead of her family（3）The woman successfully grew the white marigold at last because she_A . was luckier than expertsB . put her heart into flowersC . got support from her familyD . studied the seed genetics well（4）The passage mainly talks about_.A . the difficulties of getting the white marigoldB . the possibility of going beyond expertsC . the unforgettable development of marigoldD . the importance of holding on to dreams22. （11分）任務(wù)型閱讀Who are (A)_ at science in your class, girls or boys?
