Question

Many people go to school for education. They learn languages, history, math and subjects. Others go to school to learn skills to make a living. School education is very important and useful. Yet, no one can learn from school. Even a very good teacher can't teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher's job is to show his students how . He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, many things will be learned school by the students themselves.

It is always more important to know how to study by students than to remember some formulas (公式). It is very easy to learn a formula in math, but it is hard to use a formula in a math problem.

Great scientists us didn't get everything from school. Their teachers only showed them the way. Edison didn't finish primary school, but he was so successful. He invented so many things for human beings.

They were successful they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They would ask many questions as they read. They did experiments. They worked hard all their lives and never wasted time. The most important thing was that they knew how to use their brain.

【解析】

试题分析： 本文通过列举爱迪生取得成功的例子，来说明学校教育的真正目的应该是教会学生们学习的方法，也就是教会他们怎么去学习，而不是教给他们公式，要让学生们在实际中能够运用所学的知识。

1. learn languages, history, math他们学习语言，历史，数学，可知许多人去学校是为了学习各种学科。句意：他们学习语言，历史，数学和一些其他的科目。故选B。

2. a very good teacher can't teach his students everything they want to know.即使再好的老师也不能教给学生们他们想知道的所有知识。可以推测上句是“没有人能从学校学习所有的东西。“故选C。

3. teaches them how to read and how to think. 可知老师是要教给学生们如何阅读和思考的。所以推测上句“老师的工作是展示给学生们怎么去学习。“how to learn意为”怎么学习“。故选C。

4. outside在...外面；B. for为了；C. at在，根据so因此，可知句意“因此许多事情要靠学生们在校外自己学习。“故选A。

5. himself他自己，B. themselves他们自己，C. herself她自己，根据上文by the students themselves，可知此处也用themselves，句意：学生们如何自己独立学习比记公式要重要的多。故选B。

6. on影响，对...起作用，继续工作； work out解决，算出，实现，弄懂； think about考虑；根据but表示转折，可知句意为“学习一个数学公式是容易的，但是使用公式解决一个数学问题是困难的。“在介词in后的动词要用ing形式。故选B。

7. A.in front of在...前面；B.after在……之后；C.before在……之前；根据下文提到的Edison可知此处是出现在我们之前的伟大科学家们。句意：我们之前出现的伟大科学家们没有从学校得到任何知识。故选C。

8.

9.
