Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not
educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit
them for life.
In some modern countries it has, for some time, been fashionable to think
that by free education for all - whether rich or poor, clever or stupid - one
can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can
already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such
countries a large number of people with university degree; they refuse to do
what they think "low" work; and, in fact, work with hands is thought to be
dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to
understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more
important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die
if we have no food. If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away
from our house, we should get terrible diseases in our own towns.
In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life,
it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can
do whatever work suited to our brains and ability and, secondly, that we can
realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be
ashamed of one's work. Only such a type of education can be considered
valuable to society.

Smoking is not as common in American as in many other countries.
Generally, Americans smoke less than Europeans and much less than Asians.
It is a practice that is becoming less and less socially acceptable.
Smoking is prohibited in many places. It is not allowed in any public
buildings, on any public transportation ( including airplane flights within the
United State), in shops, in movies theaters, schools, and office buildings. The
general rule is if you are indoors, then you probably are not allowed to
smoke. The exceptions are bars, nightclubs, and some restaurants. If a
restaurant does allow smoking, it will only be in an area that is designated
for smokers. If you are with someone, even outdoors, it is polite to ask if
they mind before you start smoking.
The legal smoking age in America is 18. If you are buying cigarettes
(or another tobacco product) and you look young, the store clerk is required
by law to ask you for proof of legal age. You should be prepared to provide
identification.

Body language. What does it say?
More than half of what we communicate is communicated not
through words but through body language. This includes our postures, facial
expressions, and gestures. Because body language is so important, you will
want to know what yours is saying and how to interpret other people’s, too.
Here are some examples of body language and its meaning. (Note: These
meanings are for Norht American. Interpretations may differ a bit in other
cultures.)
A smile is a sign of friendliness and interest. But people sometimes
smile just to be polite. To get a nother clue from people’s face, notice their
eyes. Friendliness and interest are expressed when a person’s eyes meet
yours (especially when you are the one who is talking) and then look away
and meet yours again. A person who desn’t look away is expressing a
challenge. A person who doesn’t look at you is expressing a lack of interest
(or is shy). Hand gestures can mean a person is interested in the
conversation. Stay away from someone who points at you while talking with
you: That person might be angry at you or feel superior to you.

A. you should keep a distance from him. B. you shouldn’t stand too far
