Definition of adult learning vary, but according to the European Commission, it is defined as all forms of learning undertaken by adults after having left initial education and training, however far this process may have gone.

Education and training are important factors in achieving the strategic goal of raising economic growth, competitiveness and social inclusion. However, with some expectations, implementation(实现，履行) remains weak. Most education and training system still largely focus on the education and training of young people and limited progress has been made in changing systems to mirror the need for learning throughout the life span. An additional 4 million adults would need to participate in lifelong learning. Recent research confirms the importance of investing in adult learning. Research on older adults indicates that those who engage in learning are healthier, with a consequent decrease in health care costs.

Europe’s key economic challenge is to raise its growth and employment performance while preserving social cohesion(凝聚力). Rapid progress in other regions(地区) of the world shows the importance of innovative (创新的), advanced and quality education and training as a key factor in economic competitiveness. General levels of competence must increase, both to meet the needs of the employment market and to allow citizens to function well in society.

Europe is facing unheard-of demographic changes that will have a major impact on society and on the economy and consequently on education and training provision and needs. The European population is aging: over the next 30 years the number of younger Europeans(up to 24 years old)will fall by 15%. One in three Europeans will be over 60 years old, and　 about one in then will be over 80.

Raising the overall level of skills of the adult population by offering more and better learning opportunities throughout adult life is important for both efficiency and equity reasons given the challenges identified above. Not only does adult learning help make adults more efficient workers and, better-informed and more active citizens, it also contributes to their personal well-being.

1.What dose the author say about adult learning?

A.It reduces health care costs greatly.

B.The young need take it seriously.

C.It hasn’t been given enough attentions.

D.More adults have realized its importance.

2.What must we do to do well in today’s society ?

A.Upgrade(提高) general levels of our abilities

B.Face various challenges bravely.

C.Copy what other regions have done.

D.Be sensitive to the labour market.

3.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A.Change in the education system B.Changes in the job market

C.Changes in the population D.Changed in society

Choosing a nice mountain bike for you is easier than learning how to ride it. Keep these tips in mind：

Decide how you are going to use your new mountain bike.

Are you a new rider who simply wants to travel outdoors on the weekend，weather permitting？Do you intend to test yourself on the rough roads，every day，rain or shine？Or are you going to use your new mountain bike to ride to and from school or work？Be honest about your intentions，and you’re more than half way toward choosing the right mountain bike for you.

Visit your local bike shops.

Any good bike shop will stock a wide range of quality mountain bikes in all price points and sizes. Your local bike shops will carry more than one brand of bicycle. Not only will they sell you a mountain bike that suits your needs，but they will service what they sell. Visit at least a few shops. You’ll get one that satisfies you right away.

Don’t be bashful.

Tell your salesperson how you intend to use your new mountain bike，and how much you are willing to spend. Your salesperson will show you a selection of models and brands accordingly. He or she will also help you determine the right size for you. You may ask more without any sense of shyness.

Take a test ride.

All good bike shops let customers take test rides. There’s a good reason for this beyond “try­before­you­buy” salesmanship. Since you already know your price range and find the right size，you now have to find out which brand you ride best. They want you to be happy with your purchase. After only a few test rides from more than one bike shop，the right mountain bike will choose you.

1.

What would be the best title for the text?

A．How to Choose a Mountain Bike

Life-long learning is the concept that “It’s never too soon or too late for learning.” — a philosophy that has taken root in a larger number of different organizations. Life-long learning is an attitude — learners believe that one can and should be open to new ideas, decisions, skills or behaviors. Life-long learning throws the well-known rule “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks” out of the door. Life-long learning provides the general public with learning opportunities at all ages and in different ways: at work, at home and through leisure activities, not just through formal channels such as school and higher education.

Life-long education is often achieved through distance learning or e-learning, continuing education, home schooling, etc. It also includes training programs for those who want to improve their qualifications, bring their skills up to date or retrain for a new line of work. In later life, especially in retirement, continued learning takes various forms, crossing traditional academic limits.

One of the reasons why life-long education has become so important is the rapid progress of modern science and technology. Although the period of primary, secondary and university education is increased, the knowledge and skills gained there are usually not sufficient for a professional career spanning(跨越) three or four decades.

1.The philosophy of life-long learning goes against the concept that “ ______”.

A. It’s never too late to learn.

B. Whoever cares to learn will always find a teacher.

C. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.

D. You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.

2.What is the main idea behind life-long education?

A. To force people to keep in learning new skills throughout their working life.

B. To provide teachers with extra income.

C. To allow people to have chances to receive education throughout their life.

D. To prevent students from learning at school.

3.The underlined word “sufficient” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “______”.

A. popular　　　 B. well-educated

C. well-informed　　　 D. enough

4.It can be inferred that ______.

A. life-long education is the requirement of fast development of education

B. the increased period of school education is a supplement（补充） to life-long learning

C. the education system is failing to keep pace with rapid technology development

D. life-long education is intended for retired workers at home
