24、eas about education are changing in the United States. Education 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
25、these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about 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 inc
26、rease their knowledge of nursing. If they know more or learn 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 re
27、pair, furniture repair, or swimming. These are only some of 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 a
28、id or classes in sewing. There are also many other type of classes 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
29、to get along with other people.There are many opportunities 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 peop
30、le can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive.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.46 So
31、me adults go to continuing education classes to _.（A）get a college education（B） learn new skills（C） get a certificate（D）earn grades 47 Lots of people attend continuing education classes because_.（A）they can learn how to get on well with people（B） there are many courses they can select from（C） they c

33、ntinuing education classes are in the evening（C） people have many chances to further their study（D）classes are mainly held for working people 50 We can infer from the passage that_.（A）college education is not important（B） adult education is very popular（C） other kinds of learning are more important
34、than school learning（D）continuing education classes teach the same courses that are taught in colleges 50 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 no
35、tes the fact that in the Japanese 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 a
36、s the distance between objects; 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 an
37、d 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 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 for
38、mality and cool dignity.Along 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 ther
39、e 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 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 communic
40、ation. He retreats into himself, 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.51 We can learn from the passage that _.（A）Japanese society
41、is very close（B） Westerners and Japanese have the same concept of space（C） Westerners and Japanese have different idea with regard to personal space（D）Japanese have no idea about privacy 52 According to Para. 4, Arabs_.（A）like a large house, so that each individual can have plenty of space（B） dislik
42、e a large house, and only use a small area of it（C） prefer a spacious house, although they will gather in one part of it so as not to be alone（D）have houses similar to those of the Japanese 53 “To deny a friend ones breath is to feel ashamed. “in Para. 5 means that _.（A）Arabs seem to keep a certain
43、distance when talking（B） two Arabs talking to each other tend to stand very close（C） both Arabs and Japanese tend to crowd together（D）Japanese, in their closeness, like to maintain formality 54 If an Arab wishes to be alone, he usually _.（A）unplugs the telephone（B） hangs off the telephone suddenly（C
44、） goes into another room and shuts the door（D）becomes silent, both in words and body language 55 We can infer from the passage that_.（A）Arabs are basically hostile to foreigners（B） it is impolite of Arabs to push his way into a line in their culture（C） the Japaneses pay no attention to peoples priva
45、cy（D）differences in personal space needs can lead to misunderstanding between people of different culture 55 Women 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 th
46、em 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, may be highly desirabl
47、e, 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 the expression of their partners and so read the meaning the words
48、 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 because the one nominally driving the car feels it necessary not
49、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 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 fo
