问题     Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the aim of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life. Life is varied; so is education. As soon as we realize the fact, we will understand【C1】________.
    In some countries with advanced industries, they have free education for all. Under this system , people,【C2】________, clever or foolish, have a chance to be educated at universities or colleges. They have for some time thought, by free education for all, they can solve all the problems of a society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see【C3】________. We find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees than there are jobs for them to fill. As a result of their degrees, they refuse to do【C4】________. In fact, to work with one’s hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries.
    But we have only to think a moment to understand【C5】________is as important as that of a professor. We can live without education, but we should die【C6】________. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns. If there were no service people, because everyone was ashamed to do such work, the professors would have to waste much of their time doing housework.
    On the other hand,【C7】________, their production would remain low. As the population grows larger and larger in the modern world, we would die【C8】________.
    In fact, when we say all of us must be educated to fit ourselves for life, it means【C9】________: firstly, to realize that everyone can do whatever job is suited to his brain and ability; secondly, to understand【C10】________and that it is bad to be ashamed of one’s own work or to look down upon someone else’s; thirdly, to master all the necessary know-how (技能) to do one’s job well. Only such education can be called valuable to society.
