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] It can be inferred from the passage that ______.
选项 A、schools and teachers are unnecessary in developing yourself
B、you have to make great efforts to become well educated
C、thinking is much more important than knowledge in developing yourself
D、formal education is less important than self-education
答案 B
解析 根据文章第一段第二句和第三句可推断出schools and teachers不是不必要的，formal education和self-education都很重要，因此为了使自己成为一个“well-educated person”，你本人也必须做出很大的努力。根据文章第二段关于教育目的的论述，思维能力和获取知识同样重要，共同构成了教育的两个目的。
