Lifelong Learning Six years ago, Tan Ying graduated from college with a degree in Art. Now she is twenty-nine and works for a large computer company. She takes classes twice a week after work. She is learning how to use the computer program PowerPoint. “I enjoy the class,” she says. “The course is helping me do my job better.” In the past, when students graduated from college and got a job, they usually stopped studying. Today, lifelong learning is becoming more common. In many countries around the world, some people return to school although they are in their late twenties, thirties, or even older to get a higher degree. More people are taking training courses to improve their working skills. People can also get degrees or training through the Internet. Tan Ying’s sixty-year-old father and mother are taking courses in Art and Music. “We love these two subjects. Learning is such fun,” they say happily. “You’re never too old to learn.” 短语收藏夹 1. have confidence in doing sth. 2. be proud of 3. make money 4. waste...doing sth. 短语收藏夹 5. force sb. to do sth. 6. enrol on a course 7. do research 选用方框里适当的短语填空，注意其适当形式。 1.
