5.It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs.In other words,they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don't.It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs.But this isn't 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 don't 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 (詳細地),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 most of all 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.

分析 文章大意:
本文探討的是教育對人們的作用.很早以前,教育只是人們?yōu)榱司S持生計的一個手段.但是現(xiàn)在看來,雖然也是一個因素,但是更重要的是培養(yǎng)一個有思想的人.教育不僅可以教人們說話,閱讀和寫作,還會教會人們創(chuàng)造性思維和其他技能,而后者是維持生計的保障,更是一個人不可或缺的內(nèi)在品質(zhì).
解答 36.D,推理判斷題,文中提到"they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don't"受過高等教育的人有更多機會獲得更好的工作,但是對于沒有受過高等教育的人,這種機會就很少,由此確定選擇D.
37.C,推理判斷題,文中提到"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"在最開始的教育中,主要是培養(yǎng)人們?nèi)绾尉S持生計,由此確定選擇C.
38.D,詞義猜測題,文中提到"It is not only to teach him to speak,read and write,but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities"教育不僅可以教人們說話,閱讀和寫作,還會教會人們創(chuàng)造性思維和其他技能,由此確定教育是從多方面去培養(yǎng)一個人,選擇D.
39.B,推理判斷題,文中提到"Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music,read good books,watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world"受過教育的人會聽高雅的音樂,讀好多書,多數(shù)人也會對整個世界感興趣,選擇B.
40.A,推理判斷題,文中提到"I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education,but certainly not the most important or the main reason"作者不否認受教育有為了生計的可能,但更重要的是培養(yǎng)人,所以選擇A.
