Adult Education
1.Voluntary learning in organized courses by mature men and women is called adult education. Such education is offered to make people able to enlarge and interpret their experience as adults. Adults may want to study something which they missed in earlier schooling,get new skills or job training,find out about new technological developments,seek better self-understanding,or develop new talents and skills.
2.This kind of education may be in the form of self-study with proper guidance through the use of libraries,correspondence courses,or broadcasting. It may also be acquired collectively in schools and colleges,study groups,workshops,clubs and professional associations.
3.Modern adult education for large numbers of people started in the 18th and 19th centuries with the rise of the Industrial Revolution.Great economic and social changes were taking place: people were moving from rural areas to cities;new types of work were being created in an expanding factory system.These and other factors produced a need for further education and re-education of adults.
4.The earliest programs of organized adult education arose in Great Britain in the 1790s,with the founding of an adult school in Nottingham and a mechanics' institution in Glasgow. Benjamin Franklin and some friends found the earliest adult education institution in the U.S.in Philadelphia in 1727.
5.People recognize that continued learning is necessary for most forms of employment today. For example,parts of the adult population in many countries find it necessary to take part in retraining programs at work or even to learn completely new jobs.Adult education programs are springing up constantly to meet these and other needs.
Paragraph 5________
A:Necessity for developing adult education
B:Early days of adult education
C:Ways of receiving adult education
D:Growth of adult education
E:Institutions of adult education
F: Definition of adult education

Preserving Nature for Future
Demands for stronger protection for wildlife in Britain sometimes hide the fact that similar needs are felt in the rest of Europe.Studies by the Council of Europe,of which 21 countries are members,have shown that 45 percent of reptile（爬行类的）species and 24 percent of butterflies are in danger of dying out.
European concern for wildlife was outlined by Dr.Peter Baum,an expert in the environment and natural resources division of the council,when he spoke at a conference arranged by the administrators of a British national park.The park is one of the few areas in Europe to hold the council’s diploma for nature reserves of the highest quality,and Dr.Peter Baum had come to present it to the park once again.He was afraid that public opinion was turning against national parks,and that those set up in the 1960s and 1970s could not be set up today.But Dr.Baum clearly remained a strong supporter of the view that natural environment needed to be allowed to survive in peace in their own right.
"No area could be expected to survive both as a true nature reserve and as a tourist attraction,"he went on.The short-sighted（眼光短浅的）view that reserves had to serve immediate human demands for outdoor recreation should be replaced by full acceptance of their importance as places to preserve nature for the future.
"We forget that they are the guarantee of life systems,on which any built-up area ultimately depends," Dr.Baum went on," we could manage without most industrial products,but we could not manage without nature.However,our natural environment areas,which are the original parts of our countryside,have shrunk to become mere（纯粹的）islands in a spoiled and highly polluted land mass."
The last sentence in the second paragraph implies that______.
A:people should make every effort to create mere environment areas
B:people would go on protecting national parks
C:certain areas of countryside should be left intact
D:people would defend the right to develop the areas around national parks

Teaching Is“One of the Least Popular Jobs in the UK”
1. The UK government has just published a report on the future of secondary-school teaching (pupils aged 11～16),and the conclusion of the report is that many secondary schools now face great difficulties in finding people who want to be teachers.Since the 1980s,the number of grad-uates who say they would“seriously consider” teaching as a career has fallen sharply,from 64% in 1982 to just 17%today. The report suggests that urgent action needs to be taken in order to encourage more intelligent young graduates into teaching.
2. The main drawback of secondary teaching,according to the report,is the low salary.Earnings in teaching are much lower than in many other jobs,and this means that fewer and fewer young people decide to be teachers .Joanne Manners,24,is a good example.“I graduated in maths last year,and I was thinking of doing a teacher training course to become a maths teacher -but when I looked into the details, it became clear that teaching isn't a very lucrative（赚钱的）job these days. I saw I could earn twice as much if I worked in marketing or advertising,and so I decided not to become a teacher.”
3. It's not just about the money,however. The survey concluded that another reason why people don't want to be teachers is that some teenagers behave very badly in school. A lot of schools have problems with discipline,and it seems clear that children do not have the same respect for teachers as in the past. Here's the view of Dave Hallam,an accountant from London:“I think parents are to blame. They should have stricter rules with their children at home and also teach their children to have more respect for teachers.”
4. “I love teaching;it's my passion.I've been a secondary-school teacher of Spanish for ten years now,and although it's a very demanding job,it's very satisfying. When I see my students passing their Spanish exams,or singing along to Spanish pop songs ,it makes me feel so proud.” Says Brian Jones,who works in a secondary school in London.So what does he think the govern-ment should do to encourage more people to become teachers?”“My view is that the government should reduce the burden of work on teachers. I find that I always have too much work to do.”
5. The report is clear that the problem of teacher shortage is a very serious one.It says that the government should raise teachers' pay significantly,to catch up with workers in other professions. It also suggests that the government could launch a nationwide publicity campaign,with some ad-vertisements on TV and in the newspapers,to show the positive sides of teaching to young people. Another solution could be set a maximum number of hours per week that teachers can work,in or-der to reduce stress on teachers.“Hopefully,”the report concludes,“these solutions can im- prove the poor image of secondary teaching,and increase the number of young people who want to become teachers in the future.
Paragraph 2______
A:Students' bad behavior and lack of discipline
B:Improvement of children behavior
C:Heavy workload on teachers
D:The problem of low salary
E:A report on teacher shortage
F:A nationwide publicity campaign
