B. What is the present situation?

C. The purposes in Adult Education

D. Ways of Adult Education

E. The history of Adult Education

F. What is Adult Education?

 

1.

Voluntary learning in organized courses by mature men and women is called adult education. Such education is offered to make people able to enlarge and interpret their experience as adults. Adults may want to study something which they missed in earlier schooling, get new skills or job training, find out about new technological development, seek better self-understanding, or develop new talents and skills.

2.

   This kind of education may be in the form of self-study with proper guidance through the use of libraries, correspondence(函授)courses,or broadcasting.It may also be acquired collectively in schools and colleges, study groups, workshops, clubs, and professional associations.

3.

Modern adult education for large numbers of people started in the 18th and 19th centuries with the rise of the Industrial Revolution. Great economic and social changes were taking place: people were moving from rural areas to cities: new types of work were being created in an expanding factory system. These and other factors produced a need for further education and reeducation of adults.

4.

The earliest program of organized adult education arose in Great Britain in the 1790s, with the founding of an adult school at Nottingham and a mechanics’institute at Glasgow. The earliest adult education institution in the United States was founded by Benjamin Franklin and some friends in Philadelphia in 1727.

5.

People recognize that continued learning is necessary for most forms of employment today. For example, parts of the adult population in many countries find it necessary to take part in retraining programs at work or even to learn completely new jobs. Adult education programs are springing up constantly to meet these and other needs.

A healthy dose of sunshine may be the secret to staying young, British scientists have disclosed.

Vitamin D is produced naturally by the skin in response to sunlight and may help to slow the ageing process and protect against heart disease, according to the study.

Researchers from King's College London studied 2,160 women aged between 18 and 79, looking at their telomeres - a biological marker of ageing found in DNA.As people get older, their telomeres get shorter and they are easy to have illnesses.

But the study found women with high levels of vitamin D had comparatively longer telomeres - a sign of being biologically younger and healthier.

The study suggests vitamin D may help to slow down the ageing process of DNA, and therefore the ageing process as a whole.

Lead researcher Dr Brent Richards said: "These results are exciting because they prove for the first time that people who have higher levels of vitamin D may age more slowly than people with lower levels of vitamin D.

"This could help to explain how vitamin D has a protective effect on many ageing related diseases, such as heart disease and cancer."

He said further studies are required to confirm the findings.

Professor Tim Spector, head of KCL's twin research unit, and a co-author of the report, added: "Although it might sound absurd(荒谬的), it's possible that the same sunshine which may increase our risk of skin cancer may also have a healthy effect on the general ageing process."

Vitamin D made by the action of sunlight on the skin accounts for 90 per cent of the body's supply, but lower levels can also be obtained through food such as fish, eggs and breakfast cereals.

Other studies have suggested the vitamin plays a key role in protecting against cancer and heart disease.

1.What’s the best title of this passage?

  A.Sunshine helps to keep you young.

  B.Vitamin D has a protective effect on many diseases.

  C.Telomeres - a biological marker of ageing.

  D.People have found the secret to having a long life.

2.How can people get Vitamin D?

A.through water.       B. through sunshine.

C.through food.        D.both B and C.

3.Which of the following is not true according to the passage?

    A.women with high levels of vitamin D shows a sign of being biologically younger and healthier.

    B.vitamin D has a protective effect on many ageing related diseases.

    C.too much sunshine may increase our risk of skin cancer.

    D.It has been proved that sunshine helps to keep you young.

No matter how long your life, you will, at best, be able to read only a few books of all that have been written, and the few you do read should include the best. You can rejoice in the fact that the number of such is relatively small.

    ________________ Yet there is a surprising uniformity in the lists which represent the best choices of any period. In every age, the list makers include both ancient and modern books in their selections, and they always wonder whether the moderns are up to the great books of the past.

    What are the signs by which we may recognize a great book? The four I will mention may not be all they are, but they are the ones I’ve found most useful in explaining my choices over the years.

    Great books are probably the most widely read. They are not best sellers for a year or two. They are enduring best sellers. GONE WITH THE WIND has had relatively few readers compared to the plays of Shakespeare or DON QUIXOTE. It would be reasonable to estimate that Homer’s Iliad(伊丽亚特)has been read by at least 25,000,000 people in the last 3000 years.

    Great books are popular, not pedantic. They are not written by specialists about specialties for specialists. Whether they are philosophy or science, or history or poetry, they treat of human, not academic problems. They are written for men, not professors. To read a textbook for advanced students, you have to read an elementary textbook first. But the great books can be considered elementary in the sense that they treat the elements of any subject matter. They are not related to one another as a series of textbooks, graded in difficulty or in the technicality of the problems with which they deal.

    Great books are always contemporary, the most readable and instructive.

    Great books deal with the persistently unsolved problems of human life. There are genuine mysteries in the world that mark the limits of human knowing and thinking. Inquiry not only begins with wonder, but usually ends with it also. Great minds acknowledge mysteries honestly. Wisdom is fortified, not destroyed, by understanding its limitations.

1.Which of the following can be put in the blank in the second paragraph?

  A.Great books deal with the persistently unsolved problems of human life.

   B.It is to be expected that the selections will change with the times.

   C.The listing of the best books is as old as reading and writing.

   D.The fundamental human problems remain the same in all ages.

2.According to the author, Gone With The Wind is ________.

    A.a best seller                                                     B.disgusted by readers who like Shakespeare

    C.read more often than Don Quixote                   

    D.a great book

3.In the passage “pedantic” means ________.

    A.showing the feelings, esp, those of kindness, which people are supposed to have

    B.serving as practical examples

    C.being elementary

    D.paying too much attention to details in books

4.The best title for this passage is ________.

    A.Great Books in Your Life          B.Great Books in Your Speciality

    C.How to Find a Great Book?         D.What Is a Great Book?

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has declared October 15 as Global Handwashing Day in 2005.The first Global Handwashing Day is on October 15 of 2008.Activities are planned over twenty countries to get millions of people in the developing world to wash their hands with soap. Global Handwashing Day is the idea of the Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing with Soap. Partners include the UN Children's Fund, American government agencies, the World Bank and soap makers Unilever and Procter and Gamble. The goal is to create a culture of hand washing with soap.

Hand washing can prevent the spread of disease. Experts say people around the world wash their hands but very few use soap at so-called critical moments. These include after using the toilet, after cleaning a baby and before touching food.

When people get germs on their hands, they can infect themselves by touching their eyes, nose or mouth. Then they can infect others.

The organizers say all soaps are equally effective at removing disease-causing germs. The correct way to wash is to wet your hands with a small amount of water and cover them with soap. Rub it into all areas, including under the fingernails. Rub for at least twenty seconds.Then, rinse well under running water. Finally, dry your hands with a clean cloth or wave them in the air. Soap is important because it increases the time that people spend washing. It also helps to break up the grease and dirt that hold most of the germs.And it usually leaves a pleasant smell,which increases the likelihood that people will wash again.

Washing with soap before eating and after using the toilet could save more lives than any medicine. It could help reduce cases of diarrhea(痢疾) by almost half. And it could reduce deaths from pneumonia and other breathing infections by one-fourth. Diarrhea is the second leading cause of child deaths, killing more than one and a half million children a year. Pneumonia is the leading cause, killing about two million children under five each year. Hand washing can also prevent the spread of other diseases.

1.We can learn from Paragraph 1 that _______.

A.the first Global Handwashing Day was held in 2005

B.many originations support the idea of Global Handwashing Day  

C.Global Handwashing Day was founded by many soap makers

D.the content of Global Handwashing Day is to wash your hand frequently

2.The underlined phrase “critical moments” in Paragraph 2 refers to _______.

A.the turning points    

   B.schedules  

   C.the arrangement of a time

   D.the necessary parts in health

3.The main purpose of the story is to tell us ________.

   A.hand washing is very important

   B.to create a culture of hand washing with soap

   C.germs can infect ourselves and others

   D.soaps play an important role in everyday life

4.The last paragraph implies that ___________.

   A.a soap is a kind of medicine to prevent a disease

B.it is important for children to wash hands in a correct way

   C.Pneumonia kills about two million children each year

   D.Diarrhea is the second leading cause of child deaths.

As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through lift, being on the go from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential for a healthy mind and body.

Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.

The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight" and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress is, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.                                                               

1.People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_____.                                                 

    A.they do not know how to enjoy themselves

    B.they do not believe that relaxation is important for health

    C.they are travelling fast all the time

    D.they are becoming busier with their work

2.According to the writer, the most important character for a good manager is his ________.

    A.not fearing stress              B.knowing the art of relaxation

    C.high sense of responsibility    D.having control over performance

3.Which of the following statements is true?

    A.We can find some ways to avoid stress.

    B.Stress is always harmful to people.

    C.It is easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work.

    D.Different people can withstand different amounts of stress.

4.In the last sentence of the passage, "do so " refers to ______.

    A."expose ourselves to stress"

    B."find ways to deal with stress"

    C."remove stress from our lives"

    D."established links between diseases and stress"
