Should we always believe others’ dissuasion (劝阻)?
Even the great Thomas Alva Edison discouraged his friend, Henry Ford, from pursuing his idea of a motorcar. Convinced of the worthlessness of the idea, Edison invited Ford to come and work for him. Ford remained devoted and tirelessly pursued his dream. Although his first attempt resulted in a vehicle without reverse gear (倒车装置), Henry Ford knew he could make it happen. And, of course, he did.
"Forget it," the experts advised Madame Curie. They agreed radium was a scientifically impossible idea. However, Marie Curie insisted, "I can make it happen."
Let's not forget Orville and Wilbur Wright. Journalists, friends, and even their father laughed at the idea of an airplane. "What a silly and crazy way to spend money. Leave flying to the birds," they said. "Sorry," the Wright brothers responded. "We have a dream, and we can make it happen." As a result, a place called Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, became the setting for the realization of their "ridiculous" idea.
Finally, as you read these accounts under the magnificent lighting of your environment, consider the condition of Benjamin Franklin. He was warned to stop the foolish experimenting with lighting. “What an absurdity and waste of time! Why, nothing could do better than the useful oil lamp” .

读写任务（共1小题，满分25分）
阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文（包括短文概括和议论文）
The Importance of a Good Education
Getting a good education may be the most important price you can pay, because, perhaps more than anything else, what you do with that huge gray material between your ears will determine your future. These words actually describe millions of people worldwide who choose to limit their potential ability by not widening their education.
A person is much more likely to have better job offers, more successful career with a better education. This, in turn, would allow for much better life style. For example, compare two men. The first person is a high school dropout. The second has a law degree. The high school dropout will be fortunate to get a job in food services, making less than twenty thousand dollars a year, barely surviving each week. To contrast this, the person with the law degree will certainly have a successful career as a lawyer, making over $ 70,000 annually. The lawyer will, of course, have a very wealthy lifestyle. Statistics show that high school dropouts make 42% less money than college graduates.
Our generation will become doctors, lawyers, teachers and leaders of tomorrow. To do this successfully, a higher level of education is very important! We must crave learning. This, in turn, will pay for not only our future but also will help to insure success for those who follow.
