Educa
27、tion today is not just a high school diploma or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma.Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge abo
28、ut their own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones,Secretaries, mechanics, and barbers can take classes to improve their work skills. Nurses can take classes to increase their knowledge of nursing. If they know more or learn
29、 more, then they can get a better job or earn more money.Continuing education classes 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
30、the classes available.Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be 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. There are also many other type of c
31、lasses to choose from.Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their 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.There are many opportunities
32、for adults to continue their learning. Almost any community college or public school 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. The classes are usually small, and they are i
33、nexpensive.Thousands of people register for continuing education classes each year. They receive no diploma or certificate, and no grade for most of the classes they attend. For them, learning is something they do because they want to.（分数：10.00）(1).Some adults go to continuing education classes to _
34、.（分数：2.00）A.get a college educationB.learn new skillsC.get a certificateD.earn grades(2).Lots of people attend continuing education classes because_.（分数：2.00）A.they can learn how to get on well with peopleB.there are many courses they can select fromC.they can also go to work at the same timeD.they

37、education classes teach the same courses that are taught in collegesBText 2/BAlthough 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 Japa
38、nese language there is no word for privacy. To the Japanese, privacy exists in terms of his house. He considers 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 object
39、s; to them, space is empty. The Japanese, on the other hand, see space as having as much meaning as their 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 cr
40、owded together in one small area of it. The Arabs do not like to be alone, and even in their spacious houses 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
41、 with this closeness, there is a pushing and shoving in the Arab world that many Westerners find uncomfortable, 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 b
42、e invaded by another. The Arab has no concept of privacy in a public place, and if he can push his way 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 himse
43、lf, mentally and spiritually, and this withdrawal is respected by his companions. If an American were with an Arab who withdrew in this way, he would regard it as impolite, as lack of respect, even as an insult.（分数：10.00）(1).We can learn from the passage that _.（分数：2.00）A.Japanese society is very cl
44、oseB.Westerners and Japanese have the same concept of spaceC.Westerners and Japanese have different idea with regard to personal spaceD.Japanese have no idea about privacy(2).According to Para. 4, Arabs_.（分数：2.00）A.like a large house, so that each individual can have plenty of spaceB.dislike a large

46、ance when talkingB.two Arabs talking to each other tend to stand very closeC.both Arabs and Japanese tend to crowd togetherD.Japanese, in their closeness, like to maintain formality(4).If an Arab wishes to be alone, he usually _.（分数：2.00）A.unplugs the telephoneB.hangs off the telephone suddenlyC.goe

48、D.differences in personal space needs can lead to misunderstanding between people of different cultureBText 3/BWomen are quite often competent drivers, but they are very seldom consistently first-class. At best they are a mild hazard, at 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, characteristic which, in certain other circumstances, ma
