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 getting 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(詳細)， either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.Education is wellrounded(全面的) 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. 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 good 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.（1）People with little or no education have chances to choose a good job.A . moreB . fewerC . manyD . much（2）One of the earliest reasons of education was probably .A . making a man lead a better life .B . teaching a man to write and think.C . making people get a way of living.D . teaching people to read good books.（3）People with little or no education have chances to choose a good job.A . moreB . fewerC . manyD . much（4）From the passage， we know that the writer thinks making a good living is for education.A . an important reason .B . the main reason.C . the most important reason.D . the least important reason.（5）One of the earliest reasons of education was probably .A . making a man lead a better life .B . teaching a man to write and think.C . making people get a way of living.D . teaching people to read good books.（6）According to the passage， which of the following is TRUE？A . All people think the purpose of education is to make people get jobs.B . People dont need to learn language or math at all.C . Education is to make a man lead a better life.D .
