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 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 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(详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.

Education is well-rounded. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities. And it is mainly for improving a man, 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 school

B. have a good chance to get a job

C. spend the best years to choose jobs

D. have fewer chances to get a good job

2.The earliest education was probably to .

A. make people take an interest in the world

B. teach a man to watch plays

C. make people get a way of living

D. teach people to read good books

3.The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “ in Chinese.

A. 圆满的 B. 崭新的

C.公平的 D. 全面的

4.The passage tells us that .

A. education is mainly to make a man improve

B. people can get education in a short time

C. making a good living is the only reason for education

D. all subjects are so important for a way of living

Sarasota, Florida teen band The Garbage-Men is performing on the stage. The band has five members. They are Jack Berry, Ollie Gray, Harrison Paparatto, Austin Siegel and Evan Tucker. The five teens are making music from waste. The Garbage-Men band’s instruments are made from recycled things. The guitars are boxes. A horn(号) is made from pipes. The keyboard is formed from old bottles.

The band started about two years ago. Jack Berry who was in eighth grade at the time decided to make a playable, home-made guitar, after some trial-and-error(反复试验), he ended up building it from a cereal box, a yardstick and toothpicks. After Jack showed his creation to his friend Ollie Gray, Ollie had the idea to form a band using other home-made instruments as a way to improve recycling. “We want to show people there is more to recycling than throwing things away in the bin.” Jack, 16, told TFK. “You can actually reuse materials.”

The Garbage-Men plays at local events around Sarasota, including festivals, farmer’s markets and community fundraisers. Typically, the teens will set up on the street and perform popular songs from the 1960s, including classic Beatles tunes and crowd favorite “Wipe Out,” by The Surfaris. In between sets, they talk about recycling and offer tips for how to help the environment. While they perform, Jack’s little brother Trent, 11, gives out flyers(宣传单) about recycling and helps sell the band’s CDs and other musical products.

The band donates(捐赠) the money from sales to charity. They have raised more than $2,500 for Heifer International. The organization gives farm animals, seeds and agricultural(农业的) training to people in poor countries to help end poverty and hunger. “It’s a good, sustainable-development (持续发展的)charity,” Jack says, “By donating one animal, you help the whole community.”

The band, all tenth graders, tries to play a show every week. They’ve also played on a Tampa, Florida radio station and auditioned(试演) for America’s Got Talent. The teens hope to eventually take their shows on the road by touring in other states. “Music is a really good way to get a good message across to people because it’s really accessible(可接近的),” Jack says. Their instruments may be rubbish, but their message isn’t.

1.Who is NOT a member of the Garbage-Men band?

A.Ollie Gray.

B.Trent Berry.

C.Austin Siegel.

D.Jack Berry.

2.The five teens formed the band in order to ________.

A.show how to make musical instruments from rubbish

B.earn more money to help support their own families

C.make their musical products known all around the world

D.ask more people to recycle daily rubbish around them

3.What did the Garbage Men Band mainly do according to the passage?

A.They told people how to protect the environment and do some charities.

B.They collected the rubbish in communities and cleaned up the markets.

C.They raised money for the old people by selling their own instruments.

D.They joined the Heifer International and made their own musical CDs.

4.What’s the best title for the passage?

A.Music and Environment

B.The Garbage-Men Band

C.Home-made Musical Instruments

It’s time for school! But on May 14th, 170 students at Duncanville High School in Texas, US,

were told to go back home. Why? Because they were wearing the wrong clothes to school.

Schools in the US don’t always ask students to wear uniforms. But they have dress codes (着装要求). For example, Duncanville High School tells students to wear belts, shirts without logos(标识). Schools’ most-hated clothes are different.

In 2011, the saggy(松垮的) trousers law was passed in Florida. It stops students from wearing trousers that show body parts. Now, “the favorite new target(目标) of the school dress code” is leggings(紧身裤), reported the Associated Press. Some schools don’t allow leggings. Other schools ask students to wear a shirt or a skirt over leggings.

Some students complain(抱怨) that schools are going too far. But schools say dress codes help protect students’ safety and make sure they grow up with good taste.

“We want to teach them that they must meet the expectations(期望) not only here in school, but also outside school,” said Andre Smith.

We have to accept the truth: sometimes, we just want to shout out loud.

“Sometimes I shout out and other shout back,” said Mrs.Gu, another shouting lover.“It makes you happy. You laugh and then you feel very comfortable.”
