It is not a good idea for children to work too hard. Children should study at school as 1 as they can. But they should not have to do hard work with their bodies. When 2 make their children work hard, the 3 are never good and may be very bad. For example, 4 a farmer makes his son work like an adult (成人), his son may 5 hate farming.
Children sometimes do too 6 at gardens, in shops, or even in their own homes. They soon begin to hate such 7 with force because that can destroy (破坏) their 8.

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 (有创造力的) thinking and other abilities. After that, it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements (成果) 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 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.

A New Kind of Hero
In the Olympics ,star athletes always get public's attention .In the past ,the athletes who got the gold medal in Olympics were popular .But now athletes who are not the winner ,such as Lin Dan and Fu Yuanhui ,also become popular.
Fu Yuanhui,20 years old ,is a Chinese backstroke(仰泳)athlete .She became a popular star on social media(媒体)with her exaggerated(夸张的)expressions ,instead of her bronze medal(铜牌)in the women's 100- meter backstroke. After the semi-final, she was asked if she had saved some energy for the final. Fu answered with a shock face," I have been using my ' pre-historical' power (an online phrase in China which means the power of nature that can turn the world upside down)." This cute answer made her popular .Her happy personality (个性)won her millions of fans on the Internet overnight. People called her the “Pre-historical Girl” .She has become a new hero of Chinese people .She taught us a lesson: Sport is about the struggle (奋斗)and enjoyment ,and most definitely not about gold medals.
Winning used to be everything for China's Olympians .Athletes who got gold have fame and fortune(财富),while those who disappointed often got ignored even criticized (批评).Liu Xiang became a national hero at the 2004 Athens Olympics .But four years later at the Beijing Olympics ,when an injury (受伤)forced him to give up running just before his first race ,he was criticized.
Now, China is ready to welcome a sports star without a gold medal .Public attitudes toward competitive sports(竞技运动)and the Olympics have lifted to a higher level.
