Education is 24 , compared with schooling. Education has no 25 . It can take place 26 , whether in the shower or on the bus, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the 27 learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of learning out of class.
28 the experience of schooling can be known in advance, education quite often produces 29 . A chance talk with a 30 may lead to a person to discover how 31 he knows of another country.

It is lifelong experience that starts long 35 the start of school, and one that should be a necessary part of one’s entire life.
Schooling, on the other hand, is a 36 experience, whose style changes 37 from one way to the next.

When I was growing up, I had an old neighbor，a doctor named Gibbs. When Dr. Gibbs wasn’t saving lives, he was 1 trees. His house sat on ten acres(英亩), and his life’s goal was to make it a 2 .
The good doctor had some interesting 3 concerning planting trees. He never 4 his new trees. Once I asked why. “Watering plants will 5 them.” He said, “If you water them, each younger generation will grow 6 . So you have to make things 7 for them.”
He talked about how watering trees 8 shallow roots, and how trees that weren’t watered had to grow 9 roots in search of water. He’d planted an oak and, 10 watering it every morning, he’d 11 it with a rolled-up newspaper. I asked him why he did that, and he said it was to get the tree’s 12 .
Dr. Gibbs died a couple of years after I left home. Every now and again, I returned and walked by his 13 and looked at the trees that I’d watched him plant some twenty-five years ago. They’re incredibly 14 now.

Many large companies have a canteen (自助食堂) for their employees. In 39 canteens the food served is simple but 40 , and there is some 41 of choice. But the number of dishes42 usually small. The employees themselves fetch their dishes 43 a counter at which they are44. There they can find a tray on 45 to carry their knives, forks, spoons, plates, cups, saucers,46, of course, their food. A meal in a canteen is inexpensive and may 47 of soup, fish and chips or meat and two vegetables, 48 fruit or pudding of some 49 as dessert. Some companies that do not run a canteen 50 their staff with luncheon-vouchers (午餐券), which many restaurants will accept in 51 of money.
As there are so many people 52 work in London, there are numerous cafes and restaurants in every area that is not purely residential. A meal 53 cost anything from a modest sum to quite a few pounds, 54 on the restaurant and the food chosen. 55 , one can generally get a meal, or at least a snack, in a pub.

When I was a law professor, a student reported that I made an error in grading his exam by giving him too many points. He was 36 , and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the grade in my 37 . His beaming (欢笑的) face turned to shock. “You’re 38 my grade?” he said angrily. “I would never have come in 39 ……”
He didn’t finish the 40 , but it was obvious that his display of honesty was 41 . He thought he’d have it all—praise and the higher grade.
Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade 42 because all I’d accomplished was to discourage him from being 43in the future. And every time I tell this story some people agree with this 44 .
But I can’t see how I could give good reason for worsening my 45in grading by undermining (损害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to 46 an error. The grade itself would be a dishonest 47 of his knowledge and it would have been 48 to other students. How could I 49 give a student a gift of an unearned grade?
I know 50 reporting an error in one’s favor is unusual, but, like 51 too much change, it’s clearly the right thing to do. People of character, those with real honesty, hate to give up 52_ as much as anyone else. The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is _53 enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing.
Perhaps lowering the student’s grade did 54 him from being honest in the future, but bribing (贿赂) him to be honest so that he does the right thing when it’s cost-free would have _55 him even more. The duty to be honest is about right and wrong, not risks and rewards.

Dash of Hope
"Dash" is a symbol which represents every day we’ve spent alive on earth．Therefore, how you spend your "dash" is important．
Recently I 36 about a little girl named Hope．After learning more about her life, I couldn’t help but feel it was not by 37 , nor happenstance, that she had been named "Hope"．The strong feeling of sympathy and generosity 38in her young heart made a lasting impression on me and countless others． 39 I never had the opportunity to meet her, I wish I had．It seems as though she was wise beyond her tender years and very, very special．
Hope was a twelve-year-old girl who was 40a "wish" in early December 2010 by the "Make-A-Wish" Foundation after being 41 that she had a rare type of bone cancer．However, when she found out that more than 150 42in her area were waiting for their wishes to be granted （实现） , she unselfishly used her wish to 43 that those children have their wishes granted．She also asked tW it be done 44 January 16, 2011．Unfortunately, however, the organization informed her that her 45 request could not be granted as the funds （资金） were simply 46 ．They calculated that they would need to raise more than one 47 dollars in thirty days in order to grant her wish． 48 , but not discouraged, she turned her disappointment into an enthusiasm that inspired caring 49 to take up helping grant the wishes of the other children, and eventually 50 as well．Newspaper columnists and reporters for radio and TV stations 51 the story of this caring young girl who had 52 the hearts of so many and as word spread, the community was challenged．Committees were fanned and schools, corporations and various organizations assisted in53 money to help make Hope’s dream come true．
Her efforts were not in vain as they continue to help others, not only 54 , but spiritually and emotionally as well．At the gathering to celebrate her life, "A Celebration of Hope" on January 16, 2011 , the 55 was made that they had indeed received donations totaling more than one million dollars．Her wish had been granted!

I am Ali. I have always believed in myself. My parents taught me to be 41 and that I could be the best at anything. I 42 challenging my neighbourhood boys to see who could jump the highest and run the fastest. Of course I knew when I made the challenge, I would win. I never even 43 losing.
I started my boxing 44 when I was 12. In high school I boasted (自夸) that one day I was 45 to be the champion of the world. As part of my training, I would run down the street. I would rush in and out of shops to 46 them I was training for the Olympics and I was going to 47 a gold medal. I never thought of failing but only glory(光荣) I was going to 48 when I won. When I said I was going to be the "Greatest of All Time", I 49 myself. And I still do.
But I didn’t know that my will would be 50 when I retired. In 1996, I was asked to 51 the cauldron(圣火) at the summer Olympic Games in Atlanta.
When the 52 came for me to set fire to the cauldron, I realized I had the eyes of the world on me. Then I heard an extremely loud 53 . I was reminded of my 1960 Olympic 54 in Rome, when I won the gold medal. I remembered those 36 years between Rome and Atlanta and 55 that I had come full circle. Nothing in life has defeated me. I am still "The Greatest."
