D．Children don't have the right to decide whether they will go to Eton

　　C

　　As a child it would be strange to think that we could survive for very long unless there were people to teach us things. From the moment we are born, we are taught by our parents and other family members, relatives and close friends originally and that continues through childhood with our parents and teachers all providing us with learning experiences.

　　As adults too, society expects us to still keep learning but in a more specific manner. For example, it’s considered quite acceptable to go on as adults and to learn new skills and obtain qualifications（资格） to further our careers but when it comes to our emotional development, traditionally we believe that this is not something to talk about and that we should simply work things out for ourselves and to do that in a very quiet and private way.

　　If we are serious about our own personal growth, we should also be serious about the concept（概念） of learning for life. We should never stop our insatiable thirst for learning new things and encountering alternative beliefs, cultures, values etc. If we were to stop doing that, our personal development would stop too.

　　Therefore, we should embrace any opportunity we have to learn from others. This does not mean having to agree with them on every little issue. In fact, we will learn from many people we encounter with whom we have nothing in common at all. In addition to learning things from others which we believe may also help us to become better people, what we learn from those with whom we disagree on everything simply reinforces our own beliefs and values which is also valuable in terms of our own experience.
