Education today is not just a high school diploma or a college degree. Many adults are not in
3、terested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma.

5、 give some adults the chance to learn new skills. There is usually a large variety of classes to choose from, typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture repair, or swimming. These are only some of the classes available. Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be
6、useful for them. For example, they can choose a class in almost any language, Chinese, Spanish or English as a second language. There are classes in first aid or classes in sewing.

7、ir own lives because they want to feel better about themselves. Overweight people can find exercise classes. Others can learn how to be good parents, or how to get along with other people.

8、ol system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community buildings, or churches. Most classes are in the evening, so working people can attend.

For them, learning is something they do because they want to.Attending continuing education classes _.Adoes not cost much moneyBis expensiveCrequires a loanDis free of charge 3.Although there are body langua
10、ges that can cross cultural boundaries, culture is still a significant factor in all body languages. This is particular true of personal space needs. Donald Keene notes the fact that in the Japanese language there is no word for privacy. To the Japanese, privacy exists in terms of his house. He cons
11、iders this area as his own ,and he dislikes invasions of it. Dr. Hall sees this as a reflection of the Japanese concept of space. Westerners, he believed, see space as the distance between objects; to them, space is empty. The Japanese, on the other hand, see space as having as much meaning as their
12、 flower arrangement and art. In public the Arabs are crowded together. In privacy, they prefer a great deal of space. The traditional or wealthy Arab house is large and empty, with family often crowded together in one small area of it. The Arabs do not like to be alone, and even in their spacious ho
13、uses they will huddle together. The Arabs like to touch his companion. To deny a friend ones breath is to feel ashamed. The Japanese, in their closeness, preserve a formality and cool dignity. Along with this closeness, there is a pushing and shoving in the Arab world that many Westerners find uncom
14、fortable, even unpleasant. To an American, for example, there are personal boundaries even in a public place. When he is waiting in line, he believes that his place there is his alone, and may not be invaded by another. The Arab has no concept of privacy in a public place, and if he can push his way
15、 into a line, he feels perfectly within his rights to do so. Hall points out that an Arab needs at times to be alone. To do this, he simply cuts off the lines of communication. He retreats into himself, mentally and spiritually, and this withdrawal is respected by his companions. If an American were
16、 with an Arab who withdrew in this way, he would regard it as impolite, as lack of respect, even as an insult.To deny a friend ones breath is to feel ashamed. in Para. 5 means that _.AArabs seem to keep a certain distance when talkingBtwo Arabs talking to each other tend to stand very closeCboth Ara
17、bs and Japanese tend to crowd togetherDJapanese, in their closeness, like to maintain formality 4.Why did tile man say sorryABecause be was late tot work.BBecause he forgot something.CBecause he said something impolite.DBecause ire dialed the wrong number. 5. Text Sleep ,as we know, is important to
18、us because it helps restore tired organs and tissues in our body. But how much sleep do we actually need For most of us, eight hours seems to be about the right amount. (26) we know that there are many people who get (27) perfectly with less sleep, and some who may even need (28) . A great deal depe
19、nd on the (29) we live. But a good general rule to (30) is to sleep as long as we have to in order to feel happy and be able to work (31) our best when we awaken. There are actually different (32) of sleep. There is a deep sleep and a shallow sleep. In a shallow sleep our body does not get the same
20、kind of rest it gets in a deep sleep, so that after eight hours of a (33) sleep we may still feel tired. But a short, deep sleep can be very (34) . Alexander the Great was able to get a deep sleep (35) he needed it. Once, during the night before an important battle, he remained (36) much longer than
21、 anyone else. (37) he wrapped himself in a cloak and (38) down on the-earth. He slept so (39) that his generals had to wake him three times to give the (40) to attack! Normally when we go to sleep, our! sleep center blocks off nerves so that (41) our brain and body go to sleep. (42) prevents us from
22、 wanting to do anything. And the other (43) our internal organs and limbs go to sleep. (44) sometimes only one goes to sleep and the other does not. A very tired soldier can sometimes (45) asleep (brain sleep) and keep on marching, because his body is not asleep.AleastBmuchClittleDmore 6.Why does th
23、e landlord want to raise rentABecause the prices are rising quickly.BBecause the house is very large.CBecause he is short of money.DBecause tile house has modem facilities. 7.Women are quite often competent drivers, but they are very seldom consistently first-class. At best they are a mild hazard, a
24、t worst potentially lethal. A wise male driver will always give them plenty of road and still be on the look-out for the unpredictable to happen. This deficiency has nothing to do with their lack of ability to cope with the mechanical complexities of the vehicle; it is due to an inherent, characteri
25、stic which, in certain other circumstances, may be highly desirable, but which, behind the wheel, is deadly. It is their lust for talking. Women together in a car succumb to this need and when they talk they look into each others faces. Simple words are insufficient. It is necessary for them to see
26、the expression of their partners and so read the meaning the words leave unsaid. When talking instead of listening, they look to estimate the reaction their words have had. Thus two women in the front of a car repeatedly distract each others attention from the road and represent an incredible danger
27、 because the one nominally driving the car feels it necessary not only to see and hear what her companion is talking about but also, such is her nature, what those in the back are discussing in case it is anything into which she can inject an added opinion, or in the hope of collecting fresh fuel to
28、 feed other fires on later occasions. Quite apart from this factor, which means that the road ahead is often an unknown quantity, women seldom use the driving mirror except for cosmetic purposes ,after which its position gives the driver little indication of the state of the road behind. A final imp
29、ortant factor that seems to lie at the back of feminine attitudes to driving is that comparatively few women have the feel for a machine that so many men have; the satisfaction of a slick changedown means nothing to them. The co-ordination between the various manoeuvres, an operation which gives man
30、y men a boost of pride, is only a momentary lapse in their concentration on the topic in hand.The author says that women drivers are _.Anot often uniformly goodBsometimes very goodCnever good at the worst thingsDat their best when given room 8.Questions 22 -25 are based on the following dialogue.Wha
31、ts the proper attitude to take when people encounter a different cultureASensitive and doubtful.BAppreciative and accepting.CTolerant and understanding.DUnfriendly and hostile. 9.Questions 18 21 are based on the following passage.What is the speakers attitude towards video gamesAPositive.BNegative.C
32、Doubtful.DIndifferent. 10.Although there are body languages that can cross cultural boundaries, culture is still a significant factor in all body languages. This is particular true of personal space needs. Donald Keene notes the fact that in the Japanese language there is no word for privacy. To the
