　　Many people go to school for education. They learn language, history, geography, physics, chemistry and maths. Others go to school to learn a skill (技能) 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 student 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 study by oneself than to learn some facts or a formula (公式) by heart. In fact it is quite easy 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 get everything from school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success (成功) is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school, they worked hard all their lives, wasting (浪费) no time. They would ask many questions they read and they did thousands of experiments (实验).

　　Above all they know how to use their brains (大脑).

Lifelong Learning （终身学习）

In the past, when students graduated from college and got jobs, only some of them went on with their study. But today, lifelong learning is becoming more and more common.

Lucy, who is forty, teaches physics at a college in Boston. “Next term, I’ll teach some of my classes by using the Internet. This is the way of teaching that I’ve never used before,” says Lucy, “These days, I am taking a class to learn how to teach in this way. If not, I will lose my jobs.” At the same time, Lucy’s seventy-year-old parents, who live in New York, are taking an art history class online. “We love this subject,” says her father, “and we learn it to enjoy ourselves. You see we can study with people all over the world. What fun it is to learn like this!”
