Schooling and Education It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.
Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no limits. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or in the job, whether in a kitchen or in a theatre. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a respected grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education from infancy (婴儿期) on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong (一生的) process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral (基本的) part of one's entire life.
Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned (指定的) seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are words or an understanding of the working of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.

If you are saving for a big purchase like a mountain bike or a school trip, where would you save your money？
One place to save money is the bank.Putting your money in a savings account will help your money earn more money.If you put your money in a piggy bank(猪形储蓄罐)，one year later you’ll still have the same amount of money you put in
If you put your money in a savings account，one year late，you’ll have more money than you put in.Why？When you keep your money in a bank，your money earns interest.Interest is the amount of money a bank pays you to use your money. The bank uses your money(and the money of other people，too)to loan money to people and businesses.
The bank will send you a statement several times a year.A bank statement tells you how much money there is in your account，It also tells you how much interest you have earned
If you leave your money in the bank，you can watch it grow!Another way you can save money is to buy a certificate of deposit or CD. If you have some money that you don’t need to use for a long time，this is a good way to make your money grow.
You can buy a CD at a bank.You agree not to use the money for a certain period of time.
That period might be from six months to five years You can’t touch your money during that time.
If you do，you must pay a penalty，or fee.Since the bank is using your money for that time period，it will pay you interest.You will earn more interest with a CD than in a savings account.Can you guess why？ It’s because
you promise to leave your money in the bank for a certain period of time. Banks pay different rates of interest. So,you may want to compare rates in newspaper ads before buying a CD.

COne answer to the question of land shortage was suggested by an organization some years ago. A city was to be built at sea, housing 30,000 people.
The suggestion was to shape the city like a harbor (港口) 。The outer wall of the harbor would stand on steel columns resting on the sea--bed. Naturally this could only be where the water was fairly shallow. The people would like to live in flats in the fifty-metre high outer wall. The flats would be all face inwards, and would be made of concrete (混泥土) and glass. The glass would be specially made and colored to control the heat and strong light from the sun. The planners called this man--made harbor would be calm. On it would be floating islands carrying more building: a hospital, two theaters, museum, an art exhibition hall and a church. On one of the islands would be a special factory to take the salt out of sea water and turn it into fresh water.
People living in the city could move around on small boats driven by electricity, so there would be no air pollution from the burning of gas. There would be platforms outside the man wall for ships bringing supplies. People could also travel to the mainland by motorboat or water plane.
