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, to develop oneself is all of the following except ______.
选项 A、having a better memory
B、acquiring an education
C、improving the ability to judge correctly
D、improving your reasoning abilities
答案 B
解析 根据文章第二段第二句，提高记忆力和推理能力(to improve your memory and reasoning powers)以及改善判断力(to learn to think and judge correctly)都属于自我开拓的内容。再根据文章第三段第一句，“acquiring an education”属于自我开拓的方法，而不是内容。
