UNIT 4 Never too old to learn 活到老，学到老 Intellectual growth should commence at birth and cease only at death. ——Albert Einstein 智力发展应始于出生，止于死亡。 —— 阿尔伯特・爱因斯坦 /kəˈmens/ v. 开始 /siːs/ v. 停止 犹太裔物理学家，现代物理学的开创者之一，相对论的创立者，1921 年诺贝尔物理学奖得主。 核心主张：智力的成长和对知识的追求不应随年龄而停止。 Welcome to the unit Different learning styles Auditory（听觉型） Auditory learners learn best when information is presented in a verbal manner(以口头方式呈现) such as when the teacher talks to the class. They often use listening and speaking skills to sort information(梳理信息). Visual（视觉型） Visual learners absorb more when information is presented in a written format(以书面形式) or in other visual ways such as pictures or diagrams图表. They can easily visualize(想象) objects. Physical（实操型） Physical learners learn effectively when information is presented through physical activity(通过肢体活动). They can interact with actual objects. They like doing experiments and making things. In our early childhood, we learn to speak and eat on our own. In primary school, we learn to read and write, and take on small responsibilities at home. In middle school, we learn how to study independently and manage our emotions. In our youth, we master professional skills for the workplace. Even in old age, we keep learning new knowledge and ideas, so that we never fall behind the times. We learn different things at different ages. From kids to the elderly, we keep learning all our life. That is Learning for life. Pre-reading 终身学习 WHY HOW A1 Read the magazine article and complete the chart below.

Firstly, lifelong learning is an attitude. Lifelong learners are those who have an open mind. Be objective and make yourself open to new knowledge and ideas. Do not criticize them or reject them simply because they differ from what you know or believe. At the same time, you need to develop critical thinking skills so that you do not blindly accept new ideas. Instead, you should inquire further to assess the truth of what you are being told. Because they help us avoid blindly accepting new ideas and enable us to inquire further to assess the truth of what you are being told. 4.How can we take advantage of opportunities for lifelong learning? Secondly, take advantage of opportunities for lifelong learning—for example, you could register online and subscribe to e-learning courses, which have become increasingly popular in recent years. You could also visit the local library, where resources are rich and diverse. Finally, understand that it is not sufficient to simply know something or to understand what you know, because for knowledge to have concrete value, it must be applied. Importantly, after its application, there must then follow a review process of analysis, evaluation and improvement so that your comprehension of the world becomes a continuous process. We can register online and subscribe to e-learning courses or visit the local library to use its rich and diverse resources. 细节理解题 What does the author’s art teacher try to teach him through drawing a still life?
