John and Bob were neighbours．For more than 30 years, they had been getting along very well．But one day their good relationship broke.
One morning John woke up to find a stream(小溪) between the two farms．“It must be Bob,” John thought．Then John met a carpenter(木匠)．
John said．“My neighbour Bob dug(挖) a stream between the two farms．I want you to build a fence(栅栏)—an 8-foot fence．I don’t want to see his place or his face any more.”
The carpenter said, “I think I know what to do, sir, and I’ll be able to do a job that makes you happy.”About sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job．The farmer’s eyes opened wide．There was no fence there at all!
It was a bridge! And the neighbour, Bob, was coming across, with his hand outstretched(伸出)．“Hi, John! You’re quite a guy to build this bridge!”
Then they met in the middle, taking each other’s hands．“I’m terribly sorry for what I have said and done．We should be good to each other,” said Bob．
Later they turned to see the carpenter, who was ready to go．“No, wait! Stay a few days．I have a lot of other jobs for you,” said John．“I’d love to stay,” the carpenter said, “but I have more bridges to build.”
Before John found a stream between the two farms, John and Bob _______each other.

B
It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying 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 to get 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(详细地), 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 whole 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.
People with little education usually ____.

The earliest education was probably to ______.

The underlined word “well-rounded” in the passage means “_______” in Chinese.

It is expected that educated people will be able to _____.

The passage mainly tells us that _______.

What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange or red? If you do, you must be an active person who enjoys life．Do you like blue? Then you may be quiet, shy and prefer following to leading.
Colours influence our moods．There is a relationship between colours and moods．A yellow room makes people feel cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings us warmth and joy on the saddest winter day．Black is depressing (令人压抑的)．There was a black bridge over River Thames．The number of people who killed themselves on that bridge used to be larger than that on any other bridge in the area---until it was repainted green．
Light and bright colours make people not only happier but also more active．In the factory, the workers will work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black．
An active person may like ________.

Most people feel more _______ in a yellow room than in a dark green one.

Why did more people kill themselves on the black bridge than on any other bridge?

In the factory, when the machines are painted orange, the workers will work ______.

Which is the best title for the passage?
