30、re people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no b
31、ounds. 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 takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debat
32、ing politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education
33、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 an integral part of ones entire life.Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varie
34、s little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet o
35、r an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject 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 communities or what the newest filmmaker

The best schools teach a wide variety of subjects. B. Education and schooling are quite different experiences. C. Students benefit from school
37、s, which require long hours and homework. D. The more years students go to schools the better their education is.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(2).What does the author probably mean by using the expression “children interrupt their education to go to school“ in the first paragraph? A. Going to several different
38、schools is educationally beneficial. B. School vacations interrupt the continuity of the school year. C. Summer school makes the school year too long. D. All of life is an education.（分数：1.00）A.B.C.D.(3).The phrase “For example,“ in the last paragraph, introduces a sentence that gives examples of whi

Robert Raikes, who opened the first Sunday School in 1780,
42、and the two bodies of religious and philanthropic people who provided all the day schools until 1870, were inspired to act by two motives-one was shame at the existence in a great country like England of children and many adults who could not read or write, and the other was concern at the condition
43、s which the industrial revolution had provided for the swarms of children who inhabited the new towns.This approach to popular education was not the same in other countries. In Prussia, Switzerland, France and in the U. S. A. , the duty to see that future citizens were educated was recognized as tha
44、t of the State, and public money was allotted to it much earlier than in England. Although the churches in some of these countries were associated with the State system-since religion was recognized to have an important share in the upbringing of the young-the prime motive force was education. The d
45、octrines of the French Revolution were mainly responsible on the Continent for a first approach to educational opportunity, but these doctrines did not meet with the approval of the governing classes in this country. No statesman here at the beginning of the nineteenth century would have echoed Thom
46、as Jeffersons famous saying of 1812 that “if a nation expects to be both free and ignorant it expects what never was and never can be in a state of civilization“. The most our leaders achieved was the reluctant recognition, sixty years later, that “we must educate our masters“. But if we were later than other nations in realizing the importance of popular education, our system has gained something from its dual (double) origin. We have, sooner than other countries, realized that education is not merely instruction, that schools are place
