It has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school．The difference between schooling and education implied by this remark is important．

Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling．Education knows not limits．It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor．It includes both the formal learning that take place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning．The agent （doer） of education can vary from respected grandparent to the people arguing about politics on the radio, from a child to a famous scientist．A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions．People receive education from infancy on．Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term．It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be a necessary part of one's entire life．

Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next．Throughout a country, children arrive at school at about the same time, take the assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on．The pieces of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government, have been limited by the subjects being taught．For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their society or what the newest film makers are experimenting with．There are clear and undoubted conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling．

Honey(蜂蜜)from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest(巢)and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper一a little bird called a honey guide.
The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax (蜂蠟) in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or people as it leads them to the nest. When they
finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.
Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.
