3．Education is not an end，but a means to an end．In other words，we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them．Our purpose is to fit them for life．
In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all，one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation．But we can already see that free education for all is not enough； we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degree； they refuse to do what they think"low"work； and，in fact，work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries．But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor； we can live without education，but we die if we have no food．If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses，we should get terrible diseases in our towns．
In fact，when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life，it means that we must be educated in such a way that，firstly，each of us can do whatever work suited to his brains and ability and，secondly，that we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society，and that is very bad to be ashamed of one's work．Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society．

2．Don't invite crime-take basic，sensible precautions．Your house and possession are valuable and must be properly protected．When you buy a lock，you buy time．The best prevention is delay and noise which could mean discovery．
When you leave it-lock it!
First of all，fit security locks to all doors and windows and a safety chain on the front door．Secondly，use them!
If you have any ladders or tools，don't leave them lying about in the garden，lock them away．
"Safe"or"secret"places for keys and valuables are not reliable-nine times out of ten，they are the first place a thief will look．
When you move house…
When you move into a new home even if it is fitted with security locks，change them．You don't know who else may have keys．
Never let strangers into your house．An official-looking cap is not enough，ask for proof of identity and look at it carefully-if you are still not satisfied，don't let the person in．
Valuables need special protection
Valuables should really be given special protection-preferably by leaving them with your bank．A small security safe works too，but not to the most determined burglar．It is also important to keep an up-to-date list of valuables and their descriptions．In the case of fine art，paintings，or jewelry，color photographs can sometimes be of assistance to the police if you are unfortunate enough to have them stolen．Enter the details on the back of the pictures．But don't keep such documents in your house，keep them at the bank or with your insurance company．
Going on holiday？
Don't talk about your holidays and future plans loudly in public．Do remember to cancel the milk and newspapers and also to draw curtains back．
Operate a"Good Neighbor"program to ensure that mail is taken in，the house is checked regularly and that lights are put on．
Call at your local police station and tell them you are going away．Make sure that they know how to contact you in case of trouble．
Don't leave cash or valuables in the house-take them with you or put them in the bank．

1．For a long time being happy was considered something that just happened，and there was nothing special to do about it．Now we know that getting along with ourselves and with other people is something that we can work at．It is possible to act in such a way that other people will like us better．One way is being unselfish，not wanting everything our own way or demanding the best share of everything，including the attention of our friends．Another way is to look for good points，not bad ones in other people．It is surprising how successful this treasure hunt can be．
You don't have to be spineless （懦弱） in order to be popular．In fact，you will be liked and respected if you are not afraid to stand up for your rights．But do it politely and pleasantly．Being friendly and polite to your own group，to older people，to strangers and especially to those who do not look important or do not interest you is one way to develop a good character．
You cannot expect to be perfect，and so you must learn not to be too unhappy when you make a mistake．Everyone makes mistakes，and no one is to be blamed unless he refuses to learn from them．Many young people become discouraged when they recognize in themselves qualities that they do not like-selfishness，laziness and other unpleasant qualities．Just remember that we all have some of these faults and have to fight against them．
At the same time，it is important to remember that，while you are probably no worse than others，chances are that you are not much better，either．The surest way to be happy is to think yourself above other people．When something is wrong，it is good sense to try to make it right．Perhaps you don't like a teacher or a classmate．Try to see why，and look at yourself，too，to be sure that you are not doing something to make that person dislike you．In time，things may turn out all right if you just keep trying to be pleasant and polite．If things do not turn out all right，then you will simply have to get along the best you can with the situation，without thinking too much about it．Worrying never helps in a situation you can't change．

20．Every student can learn rope jumping．
You can jump alone or with your classmate．You can also help turn a long rope for many others to jump over，one at a time．If you jump alone，you will need a short rope and it will be just enough for your height．Try ropes of different lengths until you find a right one for your size．
A rope should be turned slowly．It must also be turned high enough to let you jump freely and safely．Turning the rope freely and safely needs careful timing．In rope jumping，timing means turning the rope slowly enough for you to jump over at the right time without its striking your feet．
When you jump rope，your heart beats faster and your face has a healthy color．But if you jump too many times at first，you will get fired．You must learn when to stop for a rest before you jump again，If you practice，you can increase the number of times without resting．
46．How many people can join in rope jumping？B

17．This Mother's Day will be the 8th year I have spent without my own mother．She passed away less than a month before Mother's Day in the year 2000．She had been ill for almost two years，and I didn't cry when she died，or at her funeral，but on that first Mother's Day without her．On that day，I realized that this person I loved and depended on was gone forever．
She still lives in family memories，in the thoughts of her friends and co-workers，in the values she had instilled（灌输） in her children，and in the lovely flower gardens that she had so carefully tended．
She loved her gladioli and irises．Each fall she would dig the bulbs out of the soil and carefully wrap them in paper．The bulbs would be stored until the following spring when they would be replanted．It seemed like a lot of effort to me，but each year her flower garden was more glorious than the year before．She put the same hard work into caring for her family，instilling in her children a sense of justice and fair play，compassion，and strong moral values so that we blossomed．
Share anecdotes about your mother's life at your Mother's Day party．Too often，we avoid speaking of those loved ones who have passed away，fearful that we will unearth sad feelings．It doesn't have to be that way．Sharing fond memories and stories of the life we shared with her can be a healing process that binds（捆绑）the family together．
My mother passed away when her oldest grandchild was only eight years old．Children will enjoy sharing pictures and stories of the grandmother they may have never known or have little memory of．Sharing anecdotes to pass on to the next generation will give children a feeling of family history and continuity，and may be one of the best ways to honor our mothers and grandmothers who have gone before us．
