Neverthe

34、less, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important. Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whethe

35、r in the school or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child t

36、o a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known about a religion. People are engaged in education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very

37、 broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral part of one s entire life. Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Th

38、roughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of gov

39、ernment, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are defin

40、ite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling. （分数：1.00）(1).What is the main idea of the passage?（分数：0.20）A.The best schools teach a wide variety of subjects.B.Education and schooling are quite different experiences.C.Students benefit from schools, which require long hours and homew

41、ork.D.The more years students go to school the better their education is.(2).What does the author probably mean by using the expression children interrupt their education to go to school?（分数：0.20）A.Going to several different schools is educationally beneficial.B.School vacations interrupt the contin

42、uity of the school year.C.Summer school makes the school year too long.D.All of life is an education.(3).Why is education much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling?（分数：0.20）A.because education knows no bounds and can take place anywhere.B.because education includes both the formal learni

43、ng and the whole universe of informal learning.C.because the agents of education can range from a variety of people.D.All of the above.(4).What dose education quite often produces surprises mean?（分数：0.20）A.Education makes people learn a lot of new things outside the textbooks.B.Education is more ope

44、n-ended and all-inclusive.C.Education knows no bounds.D.Education is a lifelong process(5).The passage supports which of the following conclusions?（分数：0.20）A.Without formal education, people would remain ignorant.B.Education systems need to be radically reformed.C.Going to school is only part of how

45、 people become educated.D.Education involves many years of professional training.Every profession or trade, every art and every science has its technical vocabulary, the function of which is partly to designate things or processes which have no names in ordinary English, and partly to secure greater exactness in nomenclature.
