大学体验英语三（综合教程） U5 The purpose of education is not only to train youngsters for the employment market, but to prepare them for tomorrow’s society. Because of the rapidly changing world, one can argue that changes will be continuous, which will make lifelong learning necessary for those who expect to handle the changes successfully. While some may argue that their education commenced when they began school and concluded when they had completed it, modern reality suggests that education is a lifelong process, and the classroom is merely the beginning of the education process. The very nature of its definition implies that education is lifelong. Lifelong education builds on and affects all existing educational providers, and extends beyond the formal educational providers to include all bodies and individuals involved in learning activities. Lifelong education means enabling people to learn at different times, in different ways, for different purposes at various stages of their lives and careers. U6 I often find myself trying to explain the attraction traveling holds for me. Traveling, according to many people, is often uncomfortable and even, at least sometimes, dangerous. But one benefit of traveling is that it creates a perfect atmosphere for the observation of life, an environment that can lead to better understanding and enlightenment. Many wonderful people and places lie on the road ahead. The fact that there are obstacles as well only makes the journey more rewarding. My life and my memories will be improved after encountering these people and places. That’s a pretty big benefit! Of course I could also enrich my life without traveling very far at all, but there is something about foreign lands that provides an additional fascination. I think most non-travelers are simply too distracted by things such as work, home, and friends to devote their full attention to observation of life. I'm more observant when I'm on the road and therefore, more alive. I talk to more people and listen to them carefully. I keenly notice everything about my strange new environment. I see a lot of humor that can compensate for the misery of moving about.7 Unit 7 Drug Abuse 1) the drug, many people report feelings like happiness, confidence, or peace when they take drugs.
