part 14

151 We get knowledge in different ways—through our senses, through talk with others, through the work we do with our hands and our heads, and through books. These are all ways of getting knowledge. Knowledge is very important. It is important in itself. And it is important as a way to other things. A person who has no knowledge is of no use to others. Is the word "use" part of your knowledge of English? (See page 99.) Knowledge gives us light. It makes things clearer to us.

我们获取知识的方式多种多样——通过我们的感官，通过与他人的交谈，通过我们用手和头脑所做的工作，以及通过书本。 这些都是获取知识的途径。 知识很重要。 它本身很重要。 它是通往其他事物的重要途径。 一个没有知识的人对别人是没有用的。 “use”这个词是你英语知识的一部分吗？ （见第99页。）知识给我们光明。 它让我们更清楚。

153 At school he sees his friends and does his work. He keeps his thoughts on his work. He does not let his thoughts go off to other things. At play after school he sends the ball a long way. He makes it go a long way. Then he comes back from school. Here he is with the family again.

154 Men and women are persons. They have their work. They put and take things, and give and get them They come and go. They see and say things, keep things, and let them (go), make and send them.
