Lucy，who is forty，teaches physics at a college in Boston.“Next term，I’ll teach some of classes by using the Internet.This is the way of teaching that I’ve never used before，” says Lucy.“These days，I am taking a class to learn how to teach in this way.If not，I will lose my job.” At the same time，Lucy’s seventy-year-old parents，who live in New York，are taking an art history class online. Life-long learning means that it’s never too soon or too late for learning.It suggests that a learner’s 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 can’t teach an old dog new tricks” out of the door.Citizens of all ages can have 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 often done through distance learning or e-learning，continuing education，home-schooling or correspondence courses.It also includes programs for those who want to make themselves suitable for jobs after graduating from universities or colleges.Later in life，especially in retirement，continued learning can take all kinds of forms，from traditional academic courses to recreational activities. One of the reasons why life-long education has become so important is the fast development of science and technology.Despite the increased learning period of primary，secondary and university education (14～18 years depending on the country)，the knowledge and skills learned there are usually not enough for a professional career in the following three or four decades. 根据短文判断正(T)误(F) 1.Lucy is a physics teacher at a college and she doesn’t study after work.(F) 2.People who have retired can continue to learn in different ways.(T) Period One Warm-up & Lesson 1 Life-long Learning—Pre-reading 匹配左边的单词与右边的汉语意思 [第一组] 1.backwards A.v.被充满；膨胀，肿胀 2.correction B.adj.稳定的；无忧无虑的 3.simplify C.adv.由前向后地，向后地 4.secure D.n.改正，改进 5. swell E.vt.简化，使简易 答案 1.C 2.D 3.E 4.B 5.A [第二组] 6.suspect A.vt.区别，辨别 7.chief B.v.怀疑 8.instruct C.vt.埋葬，掩埋 9.bury D.adj.最高级别的；n.首领 10.distinguish E.v.指导，教导 答案 6.B 7.D 8.E 9.C 10.A Step 1 Fast-reading 1.What’s the main idea of the passage?
