When you finish high school or university, is learning done? The answer is “no”. In many countries, people continue learning all their lives. Why is lifelong learning important? How can it help you? Let’s look at one example of lifelong learning in Japan.

     Why is lifelong learning important?

     You go to school and learn. You take tests. But learning doesn’t only happen in school. And learning doesn’t stop when you graduate from high school or college. You are learning all the time. For example, learning can happen when you go to a museum. It can also happen when you get a job. You learn when you play a sport or when you take a trip. Learning is life! We never stop learning. Every day, you can improve yourself by learning something new.

Lifelong learning in Japan

In Japan, life learning is very important. People in Japan like to try new learning activities. Music calligraphy, flower arranging, and foreign languages are some of their favorite classes. The Japanese take classes to improve their skills and learn new things.

In some science fiction movies, evil robots refuse to die, no matter how hard people fight back.

Now science fiction has become science fact. For the first time, scientists have made a robot that can take a beating and keep on going. Scientists from Cornell University made the robot, which looks like a spider with four legs.

Until now, even the most advanced (先進的) robot was almost certain to break down when it was damaged (毀壞). That is because its computer inside simply doesn’t know how to make the machine work after its shape has changed. 

To deal with this problem, the scientists put eight motors (發(fā)動機) and two sensors (傳感器) that read how the machine is working. They all give signals to the machine’s software. Using this information, the computer can then figure out the machine’s shape at any moment.

The new technology is a big advance in robot-making, scientists say, and it’s far from scary. It may someday help scientists create better artificial (假的) arms and legs and give new freedom to people who lose them. It might also help scientists understand how people and animals figure out their own sense of place in space.

“It has been difficult to design robots that can work well when the environment changes or when it’s damaged,” says Olaf Sporns of Indiana University in US. “With this work, we are nearer to solving this problem.”

1.Why do robots easily break down when they are damaged?

A．They cannot repair themselves.

B．The computer has changed a lot.

D．The computer cannot work if the robot changes.

2.The new technology(技術(shù)) allows the robot to        .

C．do house work for humans

D．remember a lot of information

3.The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 5 refers to       .

A．sensors           B．robots            C．scientists          D．a(chǎn)rms and legs

4.How do the sensors in the robot work?

A．They can replace the computer when it’s broken.

B．They help the computer learn the robot’s condition.

C．They can find out where the damage comes from.

D．They can send signals to the person who uses the robot.

Parents sometimes learn much from their children.

Many years ago, a  1  my friend David worked day and night, he was still not rich. One day, when he arrived h  2  after work, he found his 3-year-old daughter was decorating a box with some expensive wrapping paper. He thought she was w  3  money and became angry with her. He even p  4  his daughter by beating her. However, the little girl brought the box to her father the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy. Merry Christmas!” He was embarrassed (尷尬) by his overreaction (過激反應(yīng)), but he became angry a  5  when he found the box was empty.

He shouted at her, “Don’t you know that when you give someone a present, there should be s  6  inside it?”

The little girl looked up at him with t  7  in her eyes and said, “Oh, Daddy. I blew kisses in the box. I filled it with my l  8  . All for you, Daddy.”

The father was very surprised. He put his arms around his little girl, and said s  9   to her. Later, David told me that he kept that box by his bed for years. When he was discouraged(情緒低落), he would take out an imaginary (想像的) kiss from the box and r  10   the love of the child.
