Many people go to school for education．They learn languages，history，geography, physics , chemistry and math．Others go to school to learn a skill__1___they can make a living. School education is very important and useful，but no one can learn _2____ from school. A teacher，no matter how much he knows，can’t teach his students everything they want to know. The teacher’s．job is to show his students how to read and  3 to think．So much more is to be learned out of school 4 students themselves.
It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some  5  or formulas(公式)．It is actually quite  6  to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics．But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem. Great scientists such as Einstein，Newton and Galileo，didn’t learn many things from school, but they were all 7   and invented many things for mankind.
The  8 for their success is that they knew how to study．They read books that were not  9 at school . They worked hard all their lives 10 not a single minute . They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of experiments．

Mr. Jackson works in a college. He likes reading and often   1    some books from the library. He keeps   2    to the radio every morning and reading   3    after dinner. So he knows much and teaches well. He is also good   4   his students. His students   5   him very much. Mike, Mr. Jackson's little son is only nine. He   6   likes reading books. And he often asks his father some questions. Mr. Jackson always thinks his son is too   7   to understand him, so he chooses（选择）  8   ones to answer. Of course the boy is not satisfied (对……满意) with them.

One day Mike read something about the electric lights and was   9   them. When his father told him to do housework, he went on（继续）thinking  10   it. He asked him   11   questions, and his father answered all. Then his father said proudly（自豪地），“Fathers always know   12   than sons!” The boy thought for a while and said, “  13   .” “Oh, why?” Mike didn't answer but asked. “  14    invented（发明） the electric lights?” “Thomas Edison.” answered Mr. Jackson “Why didn't his father invent them then?” Mike asked again.

Looking at his son, Mr. Jackson didn't know   15   to answer.

Do you know that women’s brains are smaller than men’s? Normally the women’s brain weighs 10% less than men’s. Since research has shown that the bigger the brain, the cleverer the animal, men must be more intelligent（聪明的） than women. Right? Wrong. Men and women always score similarly on intelligence tests, despite the difference in brain size. Why? After years of study, researchers have concluded that it’s what’s inside that matters, not just the size of the brain. The brain is made up of “grey matter” and “white matter”. While men have more of the white matter, the amount（数量）of “thinking” brain is almost the same in both men and women.

It has been suggested that smaller brain appears to work faster, perhaps because the two sides of the brain are better connected in women. This means that little girls may learn to speak earlier, and that women can understand sorts of different information at the same time. When it comes to talking to the boss on the phone, cooking dinner and keeping an eye on the baby all at the same time, it’s women who come out on top every time.

   There are other important differences between two sexes（性别）. As white matter is the key to spatial（空间的）tasks, men know better where things are in relation to other things. “A great footballer always knows where he is in relation to the other players, and he knows where to go,” says one researcher. That may explain one of life’s great mysteries: why men refuse to ask for directions … and women often need to!

   The differences begin when fetuses（胎儿）are about nine weeks old, which can be seen in the action of children when they are very young. A boy would try to climb a barrier before him or push it down while a girl would ask for help from others. These brain differences also explain the fact that more men take up jobs that require good spatial skills, while more women speech skills. It may all go back to our ancestors, among whom women needed speech skills to take care of their babies and men needed spatial skills to hunt, according to one research.
