Usually people with better education are able to get better jobs. In other words, they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don't. It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs. But it isn't true.

Some people may think that a person spends the best years of his life to get education only to make a living. This was probably one of the reasons of education. In fact, if education is just a way of making a living, people don't need to spend so much time in school. If people just want to make a living, they can get a short-time education. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and math need not be taught in detail (详细地), either.

It is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.

Education is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his other abilities. It can make him a wise man and enjoy the achievements of humans. Education is to make a man live a better life. Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music, read good books, watch plays and, most of all, take an interest in the world.

I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education, but certainly not the most important one.

21. The writer thinks people with little education usually have more chances to get jobs.
22. People needn't learn much in school if they only want to make a living.
23. It is expected that educated people will be able to have a better life in the world.
24. The most important reason for education is to make a good living.
25. The passage mainly tells us that people can get education in a short time.

Memory is often the source of our greatest joys as well as our deepest regrets. I cherish (珍爱) every memory I have of my Mom, but at the same time I regret no longer being able to create new ones with her. My Mom left this world when I was only 25 years old. I never got a chance to say "Thank You" to her for all of them. All I can do now is to share these memories with you.

Mom, I remember when you spent hours walking with me searching for my dog, Duke when he ran away. You never let me lose hope. I also remember you putting him in my bed after he finally found his own way home.

Mom, I remember how you never complained when you took me, my wife, and newborn baby son into your home was struggling financially(金融上) the first year of my marriage. You showed me what it takes to love and raise a child...

Mom, I remember all the lessons you taught me about patience, humor, and courage when you faced your long battle with cancer. It may have finally taken your body, but it never got your spirit. I also remember how you always ended our phone calls those last years of your life with those three words that live on inside of me today: "I Love You!"

Mom, I would give everything I have for just one more hug from you. You gave me so much love. You helped make my heart and soul what they are today. I love you and will continue to love you more every single day of my life.

On May 5th, 2017, at Shanghai Pudong International Airport, China’s first large homemade jet airliner(喷气式客机), the C919, took off successfully for the first time. It has taken about ten years for the scientists and researchers to make this Chinese Dream come true. It’s a pride of the whole nation. So far, more than 23 companies have already ordered 570 C919 planes from China. But we still have a long way to go before the C919 carries passengers by 2020. It also faces the challenge of competing with the Airbus A320 and the new Boeing B737.

What’s more, China is working on the new high-speed trains with the highest speed of 400 km/h. It will be ready by 2020. The new trains are expected to push area cooperation(合作) and create new business for China and foreign countries. Many countries, especially the ones in Central Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Eastern Europe, are planning to build high-speed rail lines or to improve their railways with the help of China. They’d to get support in technology from China.

5G network will allow many more people to get information. Big companies like China Mobile and China Unicom will start to offer 5G. It is said that 5G promises download speed 10 to 20 times faster than 4G. For example, we can download a film within just 1 second. But with 4G network, it takes a few minutes. There will be much bandwidth(带宽) and we can get unlimited information.

Underwater cities will provide more space. The earth is becoming more and more crowded. We may turn to underwater homes, which will be built as low as 15 kilometers below the sea. And the different temperatures at the different depths of the sea can be used to provide power for the homes.
