Question

Many people go to school for an education. They learn languages, history, politics, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living.

School education is very important and useful. Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves.

   It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula（公式）. It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in math. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem.

Great scientists before us didn’t get everything from school. Their teachers only showed them the way. Edison didn’t even finish primary school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school. They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. Above all, they knew how to use their brain.

3.To work out a math problem, you need to know _________.

A. only a certain formula         B. a certain fact

【解析】

试题分析：很多人去学校接受教育。他们学习语言、历史、政治、地理、物理、化学和数学。其他人去学校学习一项技能，这样他们可以谋生。学校教育是非常重要和有用的。一个老师，不管他知道多少，不能教他的学生他们想知道的一切。老师的工作是告诉他的学生如何学习。他教他们如何阅读和如何思考。所以，更多的是由学生们自己在学校学到的。总之知道如何研究比记住一些事实或一个公式更重要。它实际上是很容易学习历史上某一事实或一个公式在数学。但是很难用一个公式在锻炼一个数学问题。科学家们成功的原因：他们读学校没有教的书。他们会问很多有关阅读问题。他们做成千上万的实验。他们努力工作一辈子，不浪费第一个时刻。最重要的是,他们知道如何使用他们的大脑。
