In the past, when students graduated from college and got jobs, only some of them went on with their study.
But today, lifelong learning is becoming more and more common. Many people think lifelong learning helps
improve their careers (职业) and lives.
Lucy, who is forty, teaches Physics at a college. "Next term, I'll teach some classes on the Internet. This is the
way of teaching that I’ve never used before," says Lucy. "Now I am taking a course on the Internet to learn how to
use some computer software (软件) . If not, I will lose my job." At the same time, Lucy's seventy-year-old parents
are taking an art history course at a local museum. "We love this subject," says her father, "and we learn it to enjoy
ourselves and make new friends. What fun it is!"
