A

Many high school students consider a college education useless． Therefore， they choose not

to go to college． If you're one of them， think again． Here are some reasons why you should

go to college and receive a good education there．

Schools and universities are the first sources of knowledge． We take that knowledge later on

to build our careers after graduation． More knowledge will be gained after you start working，

but without an education， that job will not be within easy reach． Knowledge leads to

knowledge．

While limited within the walls of the educational institutions， we openly explore other

cultures of the world． We come to know that ours is not the only culture． Other cultures have

valuable insights to share， enriching our own． Education also makes us want to travel and

interact with various cultures， broadening our horizons．

When there's a downturn（衰退）in the economy， those who attended college will be more

likely to find a new job than those who only finished grade school and have a limited skills

set． The more education you have， the more chances you will get to improve the quality of

your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary．

When you're skilful and knowledgeable， you get to "rub knees" with people of similar

backgrounds and tastes． It means a good education leads to excellent networking． Good

networking can benefit you a lot in your later life．

A good education makes you a more interesting person． You can talk about ideas and events

instead of just other people and what's on sale in stores． An educated person doesn't gossip，

having a preference to discuss ideas and listen to what other people have to say．

1. What is the text mainly about？ ______

B

From a child I was fond of reading， and all the little money that came into my hands was ever

laid out in books． Pleased with the Pilgrim's Progress， my first collection was of John

Bunyan's works， in separate little volumes． I afterwards sold them to enable me to buy

R． Burton's Historical Collections； they were small chapmen's books and cheap， 40 or 50

in all． My father's little library consisted chiefly of books in religion， most of which I read，

and have since often regretted that， at a time when I had such a thirst for knowledge； more

proper books had not fallen in my way， since I realized that I should not be a clergyman（牧师）． Plutarch's Lives there was， in which I read abundantly， and I still think that time spent

to great advantage． There was also a book of Defoe's， called An Essay on Projects， and

another of Dr． Mather's called Essays to Do Good which perhaps gave me a turn of thinking

that had an influence on some of the principal future events of my life．

This bookish preference at length determined my father to make me a printer， though he had

already one son （James） of that profession． In 1717， my brother James returned from

England with a press and letters to set up his business in Boston． I liked it much better than that

of my father， but still have a thirst for the sea． To prevent the concerned effect of such a
