13、her in groups since the very earliest times. Each group tried to keep together and to find ways that would keep the group going after its old members were gone.In order for the group and its values to survive(幸存), it was necessary for the older members to teach children all that they had learned so
14、that they could solve the problems they would face. Young people had to be trained to carry on the customs (习俗), knowledge, and skills of the group. So the idea of “education” existed (存在) long before there were actual schools. But when letters were invented, schools became a necessity. Special (专门的
15、) learning was required to master(掌握) the symbols(符号). And the existence(存在) of these symbols made it possible to accumulate(积累) and transmit(传递) knowledge on a scale (规模) that had never been possible before.Ordinary 普通的) life in the group did not provide(提供) this type of education. So a special org
16、anization(组织) was needed to take over the job of providing it. And this was the school.Nobody knows when the first schools appeared. We do know that they appeared in Egypt(埃及) and perhaps in China and in some other countries 5,000 to 6,000 years ago. 9. Directions: Listen to the talk again and then
