Do you feel bored on your ordinary school campus? Then design oneself! Recently, students at Sacajawea Middle School, US, designed a “School of the Future”.
These students were taking part in the “School Next Design” national competition. Some of their designs won the favor judges (评委) with he help of Michigan State University (MSU) students and entered the final sound.
“Three eighth - grader teams from Sacajawea Middle School, here in Bozeman, need to come up with their idea of school of the future,”said MSU architecture (建筑学) student Jennisse Schule.
Lots of ideas came from the students. Some wanted to build a planetarium (天文馆), some designed a movie theater. And eighth - graders Heather, Jon and Mitchell would like to have athletic buildings at their school. And they wanted lots!
“So we have got our gym over here. It is a big facility (设备). It has got a weight room, an aerobics (有氧健身) room, a gym, a track and them some turf (草皮) for soccer and football,” said Mitchell.
But of course, designing a building is not easy for some eight - graders. They had to learn architecture terms, the materials they needed to use and how to put the models together on a computer. Also, they needed to make a report, videos and an essay.
Like Heather said, it isn’ t just about building. “It’s about community and how someone should feel and making everything a better place, a whole town or neighborhood.”
The winning design will now compete in the national competition in Vancouver, Washington in spring.

It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying 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 this isn’t accepted by all people.
Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living. This was probably one of the earliest 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. People can get education for a living in a short time. Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone. Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail(详细地), either. Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man. It is not only to teach him to speak, read and write, but also to develop his creative (有创造力的) thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements (成果) of human. Education is to make a man lead 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 or the main reason.
1.People with little education usually ______.
A.spend a long time in school B.have a good chance to get a job
C.spend the best years to choose jobs D.have fewer chances to get a good job
2.The earliest education was probably to______.
A.make a man lead a better life B.make people get a way of living
C.teach a man to write and think D.teach people to read good books
3.The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “_______” in Chinese.
A.圆满的 B.崭新的 C.全面的 D.公平的
4.It is hoped that educated people will be able to ______.
A.take an interest in the whole world
B.develop their abilities to make plays
C.accept education as a way of living
D.learn subjects like language and math
5.The passage mainly tells us that _______.
A.people can get education in a short time
B.education should make a man improve
C.people should be able to get better paying jobs
D.all subjects are so important for a way of living
