Why should we never stop learning
Today we often think learning is what we do in school, and once we’ve got our college degree, it’s time to work and stop leaning. In fact, things aren’t really that black and white. We carry on learning in every part of our lives. 1.. Instead, it is about self-growth and enrichment. Here are some reasons why we should keep learning, no matter how old we are.
2.
For me, the first reason to keep learning new things is that I enjoy it. It’s different from what I get from a movie. Although learning something new is not always comfortable, I’m happier in the long run. The more you learn, the more confident you will become, and the more pleased you will be with yourself.
Learning keeps you healthy
Studies have shown that our brains are best developed when we use them often. 3.. Learning how to eat well, and how to prepare and cook food or learning a new sport are all great ways to keep better control of your body.
Learning puts you on the fast track to success
4. If you think that you’ve learned everything that you need to know about about running a business, or managing your team, you’ n fail to compete against those who just love to learn it.
Learning helps you have better control of your life
In your personal life, you’ll want to keep learning too. For example, learning about managing your money—things that we are not often taught in school—can turn your life around. You can spend them on the most valuable things. 5.
So what have you learned this week? Why not make a list of what you want to learn next week?
A. As is known to all, successful people keep lifelong leaning.
B. It brings more friends to us.
C. Learning adds pleasure to your life.
D. You can also learn to manage your time, thus avoiding making you life a mess.
E. It helps you get better prepared for examinations.
F. Learning often doesn’t mean to pass exams.
G. Older people who carry on leaning have more chance to get free from illnesses of aged people.
Washing windows on a skyscraper is a dirty job. Hanging off the side of a building can also be dangerous, notes Oliver Nicholls, 19. So this 12th-grader invented a robot to handle the job.
Some recent incidents inspired his project. In one, a couple of high-rise window washers were standing on a platform that fell down. No one died, but the pair was seriously injured. Oliver also witnessed someone fall and break his leg while cleaning a glass awning (雨篷) over the entrance to a building.
The new robot is about the size of a medium-sized picnic cooler and weighs 12 to15 kilograms. It's designed to hang off the side of a building from ropes, just as current window－washing platforms do. A hose（软管）carries water to the robot. A cable (电缆) delivers it electric power. The computer controls the robot up-and-down movements by adjusting the ropes from which the robot hangs. When the robot needs to move from one window to another, a set of propellers（螺旋桨） starts to work. They push the robot a short distance away from the building, while the ropes slide along a railing（栏杆）to carry the robot over to the next window. Then, as a different set of propellers holds the robot tight against the window, the cleaning cycle repeats. Oliver tested his robot by cleaning sample windows he'd built in his backyard. The robot’s propellers can hold the robot against a building even in winds as high as 45 kilometers per hour, the teen reports. He performed those tests using his family’s leaf blower.
Besides limiting the chance of injury, this window-washing robot could save building owners a bit of money. If commercialized, Oliver estimates it would cost about ＄11,000. That's about the same cost as hiring a crew to clean a 7-story building. So Oliver suspects his robot might be able to pay for itself after cleaning just one such building.
1.What encouraged Oliver to develop his project?
A.His interest in housework. B.The accidents he experienced.
C.The high costs of washing windows D.Risks facing high-rise window washers.
2.What do we know about the robot?
A.It carries water itself. B.It is supported by a platform.
C.It hangs from ropes while working. D.It can produce power while working.
3.Why did Oliver test his robot with a leaf blower?
A.To record its working speed B.To see its wind-resistance ability
C.To test whether it could remove the windows D.To know if it needed a different set of propellers
4.What does the last paragraph imply about the robot?
A.It is costly but time-saving. B.It still has many limitations.
C.It has huge commercial potential D.It has become a favorite of building owners
