Intensive Reading

The Powerful Benefits of Lifelong Learning Many people will tell you that you really never stop learning. Others will say it is never too late to learn. The Chinese say, "Continue to learn in the journey of life." the need for continuous learning throughout your lifetime is an important part of what makes you human.

Lifelong learning is the "lifelong, voluntary, and self-motivated"pursuit of knowledge for either personal or professional reasons. The term recognizes that learning is not confined to childhood or the classroom, but takes place throughout life and in a range of situations. During the last fifty years, constant scientific and technological innovation and change has had a profound effect on learning needs and styles. Learning can no longer be divided into a place and time to acquire knowledge (school) and a place and time to apply the knowledge acquired (the workplace). Instead, learning can be seen as something that takes place on an on-going basis from our daily interactions with others and with the world around us.

Here then are five ways in which lifelong learning provides powerful benefits. Sharpens Your Mind

Continuous learning helps to keep your mind sharp and improve your memory, especially as you grow older. It is a known fact that learning has beneficial effects on the brain. Research has shown that people with more education are less likely to have dementia in old age. Just like your body requires exercise to stay fit, your brain requires exercise to remain healthy. The best way to improve your reasoning and cognitive skills is to continually learn something new.

Sharpens Your Confidence

Sometimes, when someone has not stepped out of their routine for a while, they haven't taken on a new challenge or really applied themselves to learning something new, they may find the experience a bit daunting. With lifelong learning this fear is more easily overcome. You gain confidence in your ability to learn and to share the information with others; you will be full of confidence in yourself.

Sharpens Your Interpersonal Skills

While lifelong learning can take place in the quiet of a library reading a book, much of your learning will likely take place where you meet other people who share your same interest. The opportunity to socialize can help to greatly improve your interpersonal skills. When you are learning, you are engaged in life; you are engaged in those around you. And when you share what you know, you help others learn and further enhance your relationships.

Sharpens Your Career Opportunities

For anyone who has aspirations of moving their career to the next level, lifelong learning will very much need to be part of the package. Not only can learning enhance the skills you already have, it provides you with the opportunity to learn a new skill or

trade and improve your chances of career growth. The more you know about your company, the industry, and current events, the more relevant your skills are to your organization.

Sharpens Your Ability to Communicate

When you learn, you generally employ the skills of reading, listening and writing; skills essential to your ability to communicate. Because human communication is such a large part of our daily work lives, it is a skill that most employers seek in their new hires. By enhancing these skills, you improve your ability to write a business letter, compile a marketing report, give a department presentation or even speak

one-on-one to the company president.

Learning opens up so many doors. Lifelong learning opens those doors for you everyday of your life. Why would you ever choose to close them?

Learning Foreign Languages

Languages will continue to change. Even if English is becoming the universal language, it will still take many different forms. Indeed the same could happen to English as has happened to Chinese.

We will continue to teach other languages in some form, and not just for practical reasons. Learning a language is good for your mental health; it forces you to understand another cultural and intellectual system. So I think we should develop a more rational approach to the foreign languages available to students. Because so many people believe it’s no longer important to know another language, I fear that time spent on language teaching in schools may well continue to reduce. But you can argue that learning another language well is more tiring than, say, to play chess well---- it involves sensitivity to a set of complicated grammar rules, and also to the context.

Technology will certainly make a difference to the use of foreign languages. Computers may, for instance, help us do much translation work. But no one who has seen a computer translation will think it can substitute for live knowledge of the different languages. A machine will always be behind the times. Still more important is the fact that no computer will ever get at the implications that may not be expressed, which carry much of the meaning. In languages like Arabic the context is very important. Languages carry heavy cultural baggage too----in French or German if you miss the cultural reference behind a word, you’re very likely to be missing the meaning. It will be very hard to teach all that to a computer.

Some people predict that fewer and fewer people will speak English in the 21st century. I don’t think foreign languages will really become less important and the number of people who speak it will decline, but they might be perceived to be ----and that would in the end be a very bad thing.

What is a Good Education?

Two friends----two women of European origin---were talking about education, or rather about the kind of education they had received in their youth.

“I was very pound of myself when I finished college,” says one, “I have received a classical education and I had been very happy with the system. At that time, students were not allowed to select their own courses; but even if I had been consulted, I would have chosen the subjects of the school’s program. I like hi story and literature; I was interested in languages and past civilizations, in philosophy and music; and even

in some sciences, although I was not very good in that field. I probably complained about the amount of homework; everyone did. But I enjoyed my studies and I felt that they were preparing me for life. I was very shocked, after education, when I discovered that I, a good student, couldn’t get a job. My degree would get me into a university for fur ther studies, but it couldn’t help me find a job. Because I had no useful skill that would interest an employer, I have done well for myself since then, but it was not easy to get started.”

Her friends laughed, “You don’t know how lucky you are,” she said. “I was sixteen when I left school, and I went to work right away in the accounting department of a big factory. I had received in my school all training I needed for a job, including bookkeeping, commercial arithmetic, and typing. But I had never learned anything that was not absolutely practical. I had never heard of ancient civilizations and ancient languages. I did not know anything about music, and I would not have recognized the names of the most famous painters of my own country, whom everybody else seems to know. I had never discussed or even read a book of any importance; I did not know what philosophy was. And this is why, at forty, I am going back to school. I realize that I have missed something important, something that would make my life fuller that would give me great pleasure. I am going to make up for it. I am going to get a good education at last.” Between them, the two women illustrate clearly a question that has been debated for some time, and which has not yet received an answer acceptable to all: What is a good education?

Task 8Complete the following summary

Two friends were talking about the education they ___1_____, One said that she had received classical education, she was not ___2____to select their own courses, she had to do a lot of____3___, and her degree would get her into a university for further studies, but it couldn’t ___4____her find a job, because she had no useful __5___that would interest an employer. The other said that she had received in her school all training she needed for a job, ____6____bookkeeping, commercial arithmetic, and typing. But she had never learned anything that was not absolutely _____7__, she had missed something important ____8____ancient civilizations, ancient languages, music and philosophy, so she was going back to school again at forty.

现代大学英语精读2课后翻译答案

Unit 1 1.我们像在暖房里种花那样养孩子是错误的。我们必须让他们接触各种社会问题，因为不久他们就将作为公民来应对这些问题。It's wrong to hear our children the way we grow flowers in the greenhouse. We must expose them to all social problems because they will approach them as citizens very soon. 2.随着时间的推移，我们不可避免地会越来越多地卷入国际商务。而冲突必然会发生，因为国家之间总有不同的观点和利益。With the passage of time we are inevitably increasing involved in international affairs. And conflicts are sure to occur because there always exist different views and interests among nations. 3.我们为我们的成就而骄傲，我们有理由感到骄傲。但是我们永远不能变得狂妄，不然我们就会失去我们的朋友。 We are proud of our accomplishments, and we have reason to be so. But we must never become arrogant. Otherwise we will lose our friends. 4.信息现在唾手可得。一个普通的电脑就能储存一个普通图书馆的信息。Information is now immediately available. An average computer can store as much information as a small library dose. 5.那家建筑公司没有资格操作这个项目。他们没有任何法律文件能证明他们具备必要的专门技术。我们必须找一个专门建造歌剧院的公司。That construction company is not qualified to handle the project. They don't have any legal document that can certify they have the necessary expertise. We must find a company that specializes in building theatre. 6.这些智囊团不作决策。他们力图提出一些对决策者十分有用的新主意和深刻的分析。These think tanks do nor make decisions. They are out to generate new ideas and penetrating analyses that will be extremely useful for decision makers. 7.国内生产总值不是一切。如果人民的生活质量没有真正改善的话，我们国家就不能说已经现代化了。The growth of GDP is not everything. It cannot be said that our country has been modernized unless the quality of our people's lives is really improved. 8．虽然那时候我们在很多方面都很困难，但作为孩子我们仍然很幸福，因为有干净的空气、水；江河湖泊里有很多鱼、螃蟹、黄鳝；田野里有花，有树，有鸟。Poor as we were in many ways at that time, we were quite happy as children, for there was clean air, clean water, a lot of fish, crabs and eels in the rivers, lakes, and ponds and a lot of flowers, trees and birds in the fields. 9.只要给某一个人或某一群人以绝对权力，那这个人或这一群人就肯定会滥用权力，因为正如阿克顿勋爵说，“权力使人腐败，绝对权力绝对使人腐败。”Give absolute power to any individual or any particular group of people, and that person or group is sure to abuse that power because, just as Lord Acton says, power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. 10.在我们国家，传统上都认为“万般皆下品，惟有读书高”。In traditional Chinese notion, school education was more important and useful than all other pursuits. 1.总理明天将赴纽约出席联合国会议。The premier is leaving for New York for a UN conference tomorrow. 2.在纽约期间他将会晤一些国家的政府首脑。He is to meet several heads of government during his stay in New York. 3.国庆长假期间你打算干什么？回家还是呆在校园里？What are you going to do during the long National Day holidays? Are you going home or staying on campus?
