Onmy first day in the capital, I visited the Old Tower which stands on a hill near the city centre. There was stairs leading to the top, so I decided to take the lift. At the top there was a big balcony there visitors could stand and enjoying the view. It was magnificent – you could see whole city, the river and the hills beyond. In my way back from the Tower, I went past the mainly square in the city centre. I stopped at a stall to have some more orange juice, sat there and watched the traffic for a while.

College students constantly hear the praises of education．We have all become used to believing that a college education is always a guarantee of an easier life．I was nine years old when my fourth-grade teacher presented me with a task, to write down all of the things I wanted in my life．I filled my paper with things like: own a big house and have servants; be rich and have a good job．The next day my teacher handed back my paper and in red ink she wrote: " GO TO COLLEGE．" For a long time, I was convinced that once I obtained an education, BAM! Life would be easier．
However, education cannot promise all wishes, dreams, and desires．Society must reject the foolish idea that a college education's main purpose is to satisfy our desires and secure success．Like most challenging things, education is a gamble （赌博） in which results depend entirely on people's ability to look past their wants to see the realism and reason behind their wants．
For instance, my first year of college, I took a sociology class．In class, we were taught that Third World countries were poor．We learned that our quality of life would be almost impossible for an average person in those countries．I began to examine my own desire to be rich．To always go after money felt selfish when knowing others had none at all．Learning about other society's financial situations forced me to look beyond what I wanted．
Through the process of education, everything once desired is tested．Wanting something no longer is enough; it's more important to examine why we want it and whether we really want it．When my desire for money changed, everything changed．I stopped longing for money-driven careers and stopped valuing the people who had them．I began to examine the things I purchased and my reason for wanting them．
Education is a tool to be used to develop and advance our desires, so we can discover the things that are truly significant in life．Education is a source to expand our society to see beyond the superficial （表面的） appeals and the "quick fixes" , leaving the belief of an effortless life behind in order to desire a meaningful one．
1.The author's fourth-grade teacher probably agreed that ______．
A．the author was an ambitious student
B．the author should set more realistic goals
C．a college student would lead an easier life
D．a college degree was the key to the author's dreams
2.Why does the author mention her sociology class?
A．To share her learning experiences with readers．
B．To support her new understanding about education．
C．To express her sympathy for people in Third World．
D．To stress the importance of taking a sociology course．
3.With a college education, the author ______．
A．envied rich people
B．lost interest in career
C．desired more material things
D．stopped always seeking more wealth
4.What's the main idea of the passage?
A．College education promises an effortless life．
B．College education tests and guides our life desires．
C．College education offers solutions to social problems．
D．College education turns young people into gamblers．
