Older people must be given more chances to learn if they are to contribute to society rather than be a financial burden, according to a new study on population published recently.

     The current approach which     21     on younger people and on skills for employment is not      22    to meet the challenge of demographic (人口结构的) change, it says. Only 1% of the education budget is currently spent on the oldest of the population.

  “      25    needs to continue throughout life. Our historic concentration of policy attention and resources on young people cannot meet the new      26    ” says the report’s author, Professor Stephen.

  The major portion of our education budget is spent on people below the age of 25. When people are changing their jobs, home , partners and lifestyles more often than ever , they need opportunities to learn at every age.      27    , some people are starting new careers in their 50s and later.

  People need opportunities to make a “midlife review”to     28     to the later stage of employed life and to plan for the transition (过渡) to retirement, which may now happen    29                         at any point from 50 to over 90, says McNair.

  And there should be more money      30     to support people in establishing a sense of identity and finding constructive roles for the “ third age”, the 20 or more years they will spend in healthy retired life.

读写任务(共1题,满分25分)

阅读下面摘自China Daily的一则信息,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

The Ministry of Education said on Monday that starting this spring, a system of recycling textbooks will be established in rural primary and secondary schools, which means some textbooks will be given to students by the schools free of charge at the start of a term and be returned at the end of the school term so that they can be used by other students.

The central government will set up a fund for the purchase of these textbooks, and the students will be required to keep the books in good order for their reuse by others.

It is a heartening move with two major benefits.

First, it will lighten the financial burden on government and families.  Textbook costs account for 53 percent of all the fees primary school students must pay and about 65 percent of those facing middle school students.

Second, using secondhand books is environmentally friendly because of the resources such as trees and energy that are saved. According to industry figures, producing one ton of texbook paper requires 20 trees aged between 20 to 40 years, 100 tons of water, 1.2 tons of coal and other materials and churns out 300 tons of polluted water.

This collection has been made possible by a generous gift from the Stanford University Bookstore.

D.Lane Reading Room

The Lane Reading Room, houses the Humanities and Area Studies Resource Center. From the beginning, the room has served as a reading room, first for general purposes, and later for the study of rare books and manuscripts(手稿). Traditional study and reading space is now complemented by Internet access (available from all seating in the room) and computer workstations. The Lane Reading Room houses the Humanities Digital Information Service (formerly the Academic Text Service), which provides access to SUL/AIR's electronic library of humanities texts as well as to electronic indexes, publications, and the Internet.

E. Dissertation(专题论文) Rooms

Dissertation Rooms are available to currently registered doctoral students. Priority is given to those students in the Humanities and Social Sciences who use the Green Library collections.

请阅读以下人物信息, 并为这几个人选择他们今天要去的区域:

57. Ali is on a visit to the university. He has been invited to stay on campus for 2 weeks. At the library, he may need a place that can be locked up to keep his belongings.

58. Jack has finished his project on humanities. For several months he was seated in front of the computer screen writing his dissertation. Today he wants a change. A comfortable place with interesting novels, short stories, or even fairytales is most favorable.

60. Nick is doing a research on the Middle East. He badly needs a wide range of datasets from the area. He also plans to store the data on CD-ROM so that he can use them later.
