问题     Boys and girls, never forget that you educate yourselves. Schools, books and teachers are helps, but you have to do the work. Only by persevering, industrious efforts can you become well educated.
    There are two objects in education: first, to develop yourself; second, to gain knowledge. To develop yourself is to strengthen and cultivate your whole being; to improve your memory and reasoning powers; to learn to think and judge correctly; in short, to have your mind grow, so that you will be better able to do your work in life.
    You develop yourself by acquiring an education, thinking about, and using it; for education is the food to make your mind grow. To gain knowledge is to learn tacts and methods which will be of use to you in life.
    There are four sources from which to derive education; from your own observation, from your experience, from the conversation of others, and from study. You can learn much without books and teachers.
    When you visit a manufactory, examine the machinery; try to learn how the power applied at one point moves levers and wheels until it reaches the part that does the work. Wherever work is going on, be sure to learn how it is done. Study into causes and results. The steam engine came from the boy Watt’s watching a boiling teakettle, and thinking about it.
    Listen to conversation, you can learn something useful from every one. Every one can teach the best-educated man something. Ask people to tell you of what they have seen and known. Never be ashamed to ask about what you do not understand. A learned man was asked how he had acquired such a vast amount of knowledge. "By asking information of every one," he answered.
    To educate yourself, you must read, study, observe, reflect, reason, and think. Keep your eyes open, and your mind at work. [br] According to the passage, which of the following statements is true?
选项 A、You can become well educated only by observing.
B、Education is not as important as observation in developing yourself.
C、To develop yourself is to have your mind grow.
D、Books and teachers are the only sources for you to get information.
答案 C
解析 根据第一段第三句“Only by persevering，industrious efforts can you become well educated”，可判断A不正确。B文中未提及，文中分别提到了education和 observation在自我开拓中的作用，但未将二者作比较。至于D，可根据文章第六段最后一句中的“By asking information of every one”判断其不正确。再根据文章第二段第二句的最后一部分对“to develop yourself”的总结“in short，to have your mind grow”，可判断C正确。
