3、 or too late for learning.It suggests that a learners attitude towards learning is the most important thing.One can and should be open to new ideas，decisions，skills or behaviours.Life-long learning throws the saying “You cant teach an old dog new tricks.”out of thedoor.Citizens of all ages can have

4、many ways to learn：at work，at home and through leisure activities，not just through formal channels such as school and higher education.Life-long education is a form of pedagogy(教育) often done through distance learning or e-learning，continuing education，home-schooling or correspondence(通信)courses.It

14、.”B“Its never too late to learn.”C“Failure is the mother of success.”D“Everyone has his merits.”答案B.课文难句分析1I got my grandson to instruct me on how to email and use the Internet and I really enjoy the speed at which my messages get sent and answered.句式分析本句中第二个and连接两个并列句。在第一个分句中“how不定式”作宾语；第二个分句中at wh

15、ich引导一个定语从句，修饰先行词speed。自主翻译我让孙子教我如何发电子邮件，如何使用网络，我真正地领略到收信与发信的快速。2So many people think that after you retire，all you can do is switch off your brain and bury everything youve ever learnt.句式分析本句是一个主从复合句。主句是So many people think；that引导的是宾语从句，作think的宾语；after you retire是时间状语从句；you can do是省略了that的定语从句，修饰先行

16、词all；youve ever learnt是省略that的定语从句，修饰先行词everything。不定式作表语，用来解释主语或主语从句中do的精确含义时，往往可以省略动词不定式符号to，所以switch前省略了to。自主翻译很多人认为退休后你所能做的事情就是关闭大脑，埋藏所学过的所有东西。重点词汇1Because of my new qualification，Im getting promoted at work.由于我取得了新的资格证，因此我在工作中得到了提升。“get done”表示被动或状态，常见的有：get promoted得到提升 get punished受到惩罚get hur
