12、】 Education Is the Cure for Ignorance How can education be defined? A very interesting answer goes like this, “Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance.“ It means, from my point of view, the more we have learned, the more we will find we need to learn. One of the reasons is that we
13、are eager to get rid of ignorance. Frankly speaking, this goal can hardly be fully achieved. For one thing, the massive amounts of information in the constantly developing world makes it impossible for anyone to acquire it all.

The elders anxiety about technological products not only affects their own quality of life, but also adds bu
19、rdens to their children. Therefore, some measures are needed to help the elderly. First and foremost, the aged should hold a belief that it is never too old to learn and thus keep enthusiasm for new things. Whats more, the young must be patient enough to help the elders gain confidence and enthusiasm.
