It is true that people with better education are usually 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 this isn't accepted by all people．

    Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life getting 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, 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 thinking and other abilities．After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements 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．

    沈束，字宗安，会稽人。父侭，邠州知州。束登嘉靖二十三年进士，除徽州推官，擢礼科给事中。

    时大学士严嵩擅政。大同总兵官周尚文卒，请恤典，严嵩格不予。束言：“尚文为将，忠义自许。曹家庄之役，奇功也，宜赠封爵延子孙。他如董旸、江瀚，力抗强敌，继之以死。虽已庙祀，宜赐祭，以彰死事忠。今当事之臣，任意予夺，忠勤反捐弃，何以鼓士气，激军心？”疏奏，嵩大恚，激帝怒，下吏部都察院议。闻渊、屠侨等言束无他肠，唯疏狂当治。帝愈怒，夺渊、侨俸，下束诏狱。已，刑部坐束奏事不实，输赎还职。特命杖于廷，仍锢诏狱。时束入谏垣①未半岁也。逾年，俺答②薄都城。司业赵贞吉以请宽束得罪，自是无敢言者。

    束系久，衣食屡绝，惟日读《周易》为疏解。后同邑沈练劾嵩，嵩疑与束同族为报复，令狱吏械其手足。徐阶劝，得免。迨嵩去位，束在狱十六年矣，妻张氏上书言：“臣夫家有老亲，年八十有九，衰病侵寻，朝不计夕。往臣因束无子，为置妾潘氏。比至京师，束已系狱，潘矢志不他适。乃相与寄居旅舍，纺织以供夫衣食。岁月积深，凄楚万状。欲归奉舅，则夫之饘粥无资。欲留养夫，则舅又旦暮待尽。辗转思维，进退无策。臣愿代夫系狱，令夫得送父终年，仍还赴系，实陛下莫大之德也。”法司亦为请，帝终不许。

    帝深疾言官，以廷杖遣戍未足遏其言，乃长系以困之。而日令狱卒奏其语言食息，谓之监帖。或无所得，虽谐语亦以闻。一日，鹊噪于束前，束谩曰：“岂有喜及罪人耶？”卒以奏，帝心动。会户部司务何以尚疏救主事海瑞，帝大怒，杖之，锢诏狱，而释束还其家。

    束还父已前卒束枕块饮水佯狂自废甫两月世宗崩穆宗嗣位起故官不赴。丧除，召为都给事中。旋擢南京右通政。复辞疾。布衣蔬食，终老于家。束系狱凡十八年，比出，竟无子。

几乎一夜之间，世界知道了中国发射了一颗特别厉害的卫星——“墨子号”量子科学实验卫星。美国《华尔街日报》称，“预计此次发射将把中国推进到科学界最具挑战领域之一的最前沿。”既然那么重要，为什么其他国家没有发射这种卫星？外国媒体多归结于中国的经济实力和体制优势。我国的经济实力和体制优势来源于（    ）
