26、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 maths need not be taught in detail, 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 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 underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “________” .
A.全面的
B.崭新的
C.公平的
D.圆满的
【3】The passage mainly tells us that ________ .
A.people can get education in a short time
B.education should make a man improve
C.people should be able to get good paying jobs
D.all subjects are so important for a way of living

28、Why do some people eat too much? Is it because they’re hungry? Or is there a scientific e【1】?
There are a number of theories(理论)to explain over eatintg. One factor depends on the time of day. “It’s all part of a h【2】.” says Randy Seeley, a professor in Cincinnati. “You’re hungry at noon because that’s the time you’ve eaten lunch for the past 100 days.” A【3】 reason we may eat more than necessary is because the body needs to s【4】 a sweet tooth or a craving(渴望)for sugar. Drinking alcohol also makes people eat more, because the body wants something to absorb the alcohol.
Overeating can also be a biological question. For example, your body temperature can tell your brain that you feel h【5】.
“Your body temperature drops when it’s time to eat, and eating warms you up,” says Gina Harlow, a professor at Harvard University. Also, the smell of certain foods can make us imagine the p【6】 of eating them. Harlow adds, “If you know you love French fries, smelling them will make you want to eat them because you know how good they are. And that can l【7】 to eating too many.”
So, the next time you realize you’ve eaten too much, don’t worry about it. You can always blame it on science.
