Learning for life
The more I learn，the better I know how much there is still left to learn.【1】 As I journey through my life，I have become aware① that acquiring② knowledge is not only a means③ by which you can better understand the world，but also a way of appreciating④ how much，as an individual，you do not know.【2】 The ability to admit⑤ this should not be perceived⑥ as a weakness⑦，but as a strength⑧.I once had an art teacher，pointing out that it is not only what you can see that is important，but also what you cannot see.【3】 When I drew a still life，it was impressed⑨ upon me that the blank spaces between the objects were just as vital to the success of the composition as the actual objects themselves.Also，as the great educator Confucius stated，“When you know a thing，to recognize that you know it；and when you do not know a thing，to recognize that you do not know it—that is wisdom.”
【1】 the more...the more...表示“越……越……”。
【2】 that引导宾语从句；acquiring knowledge是动词 ing形式作主语；by which引导定语从句，修饰means。
【3】 强调句，强调what引导的并列主语从句。
It is vital to remain lifelong learners in a rapidly changing world.【4】 As you progress through life，you may study and work in new environments.Consequently⑩，you will be exposed to many new ideas，beliefs，practices and learning experiences.Furthermore，the production of knowledge is bound to grow rapidly.New knowledge is constantly being generated and what you already know is being revised all the time ，to the extent that it can be difficult to keep pace with the latest developments.【5】 Indeed，you may one day do jobs that do not yet exist ，use technologies that are not yet developed and resolve problems that are not yet problems! This is not to suggest that there is no need for you to study in school but to acknowledge that refreshing your knowledge through lifelong learning is both essential and beneficial .【6】
【4】 it作形式主语，真正主语是后面的不定式短语。
【5】 what you already know是主语从句；it作形式主语，后面的不定式短语是真正主语。
【6】 there is no need to do sth.没有必要做某事；第二个that引导宾语从句；refreshing your knowledge是动词 ing形式短语作主语。
So，how can you proceed Firstly，lifelong learning is an attitude.Lifelong learners are those who have an open mind.【7】 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 and believe.【8】 At the same time，you need to develop critical thinking skills so that you do not blindly accept new ideas.【9】 Instead，you should inquire further to assess the truth of what you are being told.【10】 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 .【11】 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.
【7】who引导定语从句，修饰those。
【8】because引导原因状语从句，what引导宾语从句，作from的宾语。
【9】so that引导目的状语从句。
【10】what引导宾语从句，作of的宾语。
【11】where引导定语从句，修饰library。
In summary ，in a world of constant change，one should never cease to learn.Lifelong learning will help you develop your skills and further your career，and will boost your sense of self worth and keep your mind active.Therefore，know what you know and use it；know what you do not know and embrace it；know that you will never know all there is to know and wonder at it.
译文参考
为生活而学习
我学的越多，就越清楚还有多少东西要学。在我的人生旅途中，我意识到获得知识不仅是你更好地了解世界的一种手段，也是一种欣赏你作为一个个体所不知道的东西的方式。承认这一点的能力不应被视为一种弱点，而应被视为一种优势。我曾经有一位美术老师指出，重要的不仅是你能看到的东西，还有你看不到的东西。当我在画静物时，我意识到，成功的构图中，物体之间的留白和实际的物体本身一样关键。而且，正如伟大教育家孔子所言：“知之为知之，不知为不知，是知也。”
在瞬息万变的世界里，终身学习是至关重要的。随着生活的进步，你可能在新的环境中学习和工作。因此，你将接触到许多新的想法、理念、实践和学习经验。此外，知识的生产必然会迅速增长。新的知识不断产生，你已经知道的知识一直在修改，在一定程度上来说很难跟上最新的发展。的确，可能有一天你会从事目前还不存在的职业，使用现在还未开发的技术，解决当下还不是问题的问题！这并不是说你没有必要在学校学习，而是要承认，用终身学习来更新你的知识是必要的，也是有益的。
那么，你怎么继续呢？首先，终身学习是一种态度。终身学习者是那些思想开放的人。保持客观，接受新知识和新思想。不要因为它们与你所知道和相信的不同而批评它们或拒绝它们。同时，你需要培养批判性思维能力，这样你才不会盲目接受新思想。相反，你应该进一步调查，以评估新思想的真实性。其次，利用终身学习的机会——例如，你可以在线注册，订购在线学习课程，近年来这类课程越来越受欢迎。你也可以参观当地的图书馆，那里的资源丰富多样。最后，要明白仅仅知道某件事或了解你所相信的是不够的，因为知识要有具体的价值，必须加以运用。重要的是，在运用之后，必须遵循分析、评估和改进的审查过程，以便你对你所生活的世界的理解成为一个持续的过程。
总之，在一个不断变化的世界里，一个人不应该停止学习。终身学习将帮助你发展技能，推进职业生涯，提升自我价值感，保持思维活跃。因此，要学会你所认识到的，并加以运用；了解你不懂的，欣然接受它；要明白，你永远不会掌握其中所有的知识和奇迹。Ⅰ.匹配词义

Effective communication
If you heard someone shout “Hey you！” from across the room，how would you react Just these two words can carry a lot of information.They could be interpreted① as a welcoming greeting② from a close friend，especially if accompanied③ by a gentle smile.【1】 When spoken by a stranger，they can function④ as a means of attracting your attention.Much of what we communicate is dependent⑤ not only on the words we use，but also on how we use them.So，let's look a little deeper into the topic of communication.
【1】这是一个省略句，accompanied前省略了they are。
Communication is the process of exchanging information between a sender and a receiver.The sender encodes⑥ a message and sends it face to face⑦，or through video，telephone，mail or social media.This message is then received and decoded by the receiver.In response⑧，the receiver sends an encoded message back，which is referred to⑨ as feedback.【2】 This feedback is decoded by the original⑩ sender and the entire cycle repeats itself until they have finished communicating.
【2】which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰message。
This communication process can be challenging but，with practice and patience ，you can become a highly competent communicator.To accomplish this，you need to know with whom you are communicating.【3】 What is their age or position What is their relationship with you What expectations and cultural backgrounds do they have Once you have obtained this information，you can use it to determine how best to communicate with them.Depending on whether you are communicating with a stranger，friend，family member or co worker，you will need to decide which communication channel best suits the situation.Furthermore ，you will need to determine the appropriate style to use and how complex your choice of words should be.For example，if you are a business person negotiating with a large enterprise about a deal，you should do it face to face，using formal language in a straightforward manner.
【3】不定式作目的状语。
Your body language is equally important，since it reveals a lot about your thoughts and attitudes.【4】 Make sure it clearly supports the message you want to deliver.A smile shows you are attentive to the issues being discussed，while looking away with your arms folded can indicate disinterest and create distrust or friction.Additionally ，you should not ignore the other person's body language，which will give you clues as to whether the conversation is going well or not.【5】 When you notice a change in the other person's body language，you should adjust how you are communicating accordingly.If someone looks at you with a confused expression，this could indicate that they have not completely understood your point.【6】 Then you will need to clarify your message before moving on.
【4】since引导原因状语从句。

While being knowledgeable about body language is vital 【7】，the value of empathy should not be understated.Seek to understand the other person's emotions，by putting yourself in their shoes and looking at the situation from their perspective .Suppose you are discussing a project with your partner，who has just lost an important basketball game and is inactive.To engage him or her in the discussion and make your communication more effective，you may express your sympathy by，for instance，saying，“I understand how you feel...” However，some issues may be complicated and you may be confused about why others feel the way they do．【8】Only when you give serious consideration to their points of view will you be able to see what accounts for their emotions and empathize with them.You may not approve of their ideas but at least you will see where they are coming from，which means you can make adjustments to your own tone and choice of words accordingly.

Effective communication will enable you to settle differences and disagreements appropriately and improve your interactions with others.Good communication skills will also help you build trust and gain respect，allowing relationships to become more positive and productive.So，get practising and good luck！

有效交流
如果你听到有人从房间对面喊“嘿，你！”，你会怎么反应？只有这两个词也能承载很多信息。它们(这两个词)可以解读成来自亲密朋友的热情问候，特别是如果伴随着亲切的笑容。当陌生人说话时，它们可以作为吸引你注意力的一种手段。我们交流的许多东西，不仅取决于我们使用的单词，还取决于我们如何使用它们。所以，让我们深入探讨一下交流这个话题。
交流是发送方和接收方之间的交换信息的过程。发送者编码一条消息，并通过面对面发送，或者通过视频、电话、邮件或社交媒体发送。然后，接收者接收并解码该消息。作为响应，接收者将编码消息发送回去，该消息被称为反馈。此反馈由原始发送者解码，整个循环周期自我重复，直到他们完成交流。
这个交流过程可能具有挑战性，但是，通过实践和耐心，你可以成为一个高度胜任的沟通者。要实现这一点，你需要知道你正在与谁沟通。他们多大年龄或职位是什么？他们和你有什么关系？他们有什么期望和文化背景？一旦你获得了这些信息，你就可以使用它来确定如何最好地与他们沟通。根据你是否正在与陌生人、朋友、家人或同事沟通，你需要决定哪一个沟通渠道最适合这种情况。此外，你还需要确定使用的适当方式以及你选择的单词应该有多复杂。例如，如果你是一个商人，正在与一家大企业洽谈一笔交易，你们应该面对面地，用正式的语言，以直截了当的方式进行沟通。
你的肢体语言同样重要，因为它揭示了很多你的思想和态度。确保它清楚地支持你想要传递的消息。微笑表明你对正在被讨论的问题很关注，而双臂交叉、目光移开可能表明你不感兴趣，这样会造成不信任或导致摩擦。另外，你不应该忽视对方的肢体语言，它会给你线索，说明谈话是否顺利。当你注意到对方的肢体语言发生变化时，你应该相应地调整你的沟通方式。如果有人用一种困惑的表情看着你，这可能表明他们还没有完全理解你的观点。那么你需要在继续交流之前阐明你的信息。
虽然对肢体语言的了解是至关重要的，同感的价值也不应该被低估。通过设身处地从对方的角度看问题来试着理解对方的情绪。假设你正在和你的搭档讨论一个项目，他刚刚输掉了一场重要的篮球比赛，而且不积极。为了让他或她参与讨论并使你们的交流更有效，你可以表达你的同情，例如说，“我理解你的感受……”然而，有些问题可能很复杂，你可能会对其他人的感受感到困惑。只有当你认真考虑他们的观点时，你才能了解他们的情绪原因，并对他们产生共鸣。你可能不赞成他们的想法，但至少你会明白这些想法从何而来，这意味着你可以相应地调整自己的语气和措辞。
有效的沟通将使你能够恰当地处理差异和分歧，并改善你与他人的互动。良好的沟通技巧也将帮助你建立信任，赢得尊重，让人际关系变得更加积极和富有成效。所以，开始练习吧，祝你好运！Ⅰ.匹配词义

If you were asked the question，“Do you work to live or live to work？”，what would your answer be Some might say that we work because we have to，not least because we need the salary that enables us to be① financially independent.【1】 It is certainly true that most of us do join the labour force② once our studies are completed.Indeed，it could be argued that our education is geared towards preparing us for a life of work.However，earning a living③ is by no means④ the only reason why we work—there are other important reasons that motivate us to enter the world of work.【2】

Through the work we do，our goals can be attained and our dreams achieved.All of us have had dreams of one kind or another and work often enables us to pursue those dreams.Henry David Thoreau said，“...if one advances confidently in the direction of⑤ his dreams，and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined 【3】，he will meet with⑥ a success unexpected⑦ in common hours.” Yang Liwei，for example，driven by his passion for flying，became a pilot and then China's first astronaut in space.Wherever our interests may lie and whatever our career choices might be【4】，work allows us the opportunity to be engaged in⑧ something we are fond of⑨，and consequently⑩，it can give us a great sense of achievement and satisfaction.

为生活而工作，为工作而生活
如果有人问你“你是为了生活而工作还是为了工作而生活”，你的答案是什么？有人可能会说，我们工作是因为我们必须工作，尤其是因为我们需要薪水来实现经济独立。当然，我们中的大多数人一旦完成学业就加入了劳动大军。事实上，可以说我们的教育是为了使我们为工作生活做好准备。然而，谋生绝不是我们工作的唯一原因，促使我们进入工作世界的还有其他重要的原因。
通过我们所做的工作，我们的目标可以达成，我们的个人梦想也可以实现。我们每个人都有过这样或那样的梦想；工作常常使我们能够追求那些梦想。亨利·戴维·梭罗曾说过：“……如果一个人充满自信地朝他梦想的方向前进，并努力过他设想的那种生活，那么他就会在平常的时刻与成功不期而遇。”杨利伟就是这样，在飞行热情的驱使下，他成了一名飞行员，后来成为中国第一位在太空中的宇航员。无论我们的兴趣在哪里，无论我们的职业选择是什么，工作让我们有机会从事我们喜欢的事情，因此，它可以给我们极大的成就感和满足感。
工作也可以帮助我们增加技能，从而为个人的成长提供空间。当我们工作时，我们必须不断地练习我们的技能，直到我们在我们所做的事情上取得成功。我们瞬息万变的工作环境使我们有必要跟上并增加新的技能。20年前，社会技术或能源效率方面的职位甚至还不存在，而且也难以预料往后20年将会出现的新职位。然而，可以肯定的是，没有人能够满足于现状。为了更好地使我们自己适应新的环境，我们必须准备并愿意获得新的技能。当我们沿着我们所选择的职业道路前进时，这可以增加我们的成就感和我们作为个体成长需要的知识。
工作不仅使我们个人受益，而且有助于社会的健康。在最基本的层面上，不同类型的工作就像机器上的齿轮。它们运转是为了确保我们所称之为“社会”的机器正常运转。在一个成功、稳定和富有成效的社会里，所有的工作都同等重要，没有哪一份工作优于别的工作，因此我们对任何工作都不应该抱有偏见。无论我们是科学家、律师、医生、公务员、顾问、办事员、接待员还是屠夫，我们都做出了各自的贡献。此外，有些人选择走出自己的舒适区，致力于为他人的利益而工作。例如，偏远的农村地区的教师致力于改变人们的生活，而这些人享受许多其他人所享有的好处的机会很少。通过这种方式，我们努力推进我们的社区，为我们的国家带来成功。
无论生活把我们带到哪里，无论摆在我们面前的选择是什么，值得记住的是，当工作做得好时，它不仅会帮助我们谋生，还会帮助我们为自己和他人创造生活。我们可以自豪地认识到，努力工作对我们个人的福祉以及整个社会的利益都是必不可少的。Ⅰ.匹配词义

After Twenty Years
The policeman on the beat① walked along the street as he always did.It was barely ten o'clock at night.When he had walked about halfway around a certain② block，the policeman suddenly slowed down.In the doorway of a store stood a man，with an unlit③ cigar in his mouth【1】．As the policeman walked up to him the man spoke up④ quickly.
【1】with复合结构作定语。
“It's all right，officer，” he said.“I'm just waiting for a friend.It's an appointment made twenty years ago【2】．There used to be⑤ a restaurant where this store stands—‘Big Joe’ Brady's restaurant.”
【2】made...是过去分词短语作定语，修饰an appointment。
“It was here until five years ago，” said the policeman.“It was torn down⑥ then.”
The man in the doorway struck⑦ a match and lit his cigar.The light showed a pale⑧ face，with keen⑨ eyes，a square⑩ jaw and a little white scar near his right eyebrow.His scarfpin was a large diamond，oddly set.
“Twenty years ago tonight，” said the man，“I dined here with Jimmy Wells，my best friend.He and I were just like two brothers.I was eighteen and Jimmy was twenty.The next morning I was to leave New York and travel to the West to make my fortune .Well，we agreed that night that we would meet here again exactly twenty years from that date and time，no matter what our conditions might be or from what distance we might have to come【3】．We figured that in twenty years each of us ought to have built a life and made our fortunes.”
【3】no matter what引导让步状语从句。
“It sounds pretty interesting，” said the policeman.“Rather a long time between meetings，though .Haven't you heard from your friend since you left？”
“Well，we kept in touch for a year or two，and then we lost contact.But I know Jimmy will meet me here if he's alive，for he always was the truest and most reliable fellow in the world.He'll never forget.I came a thousand miles to stand in this doorway tonight，and it's worthwhile if my old partner turns up .”
The waiting man pulled out a handsome watch，set with small diamonds.It was three minutes to ten .
“I'll be on my way ，” said the policeman.“Hope your friend turns up.”
“I'll give him half an hour at least.Bye，officer.”
The man who had come a thousand miles to keep an appointment with the friend of his youth smoked his cigar and waited.About twenty minutes later，a tall man in a long overcoat，with collar turned up to his ears，hurried towards him.
“Is that you，Bob？” he asked，doubtfully .
“Is that you，Jimmy Wells？” shouted the man in the doorway.
“Bless my heart ！” cried the new arrival.“Well，well，well! Twenty years is a long time! How has the West treated you，old man？”
“It has given me everything I asked it for【4】．You've changed lots，Jimmy.I never thought you were tall by two or three inches.”
【4】 I asked it for是定语从句，修饰everything。
“Oh，I grew a bit after I was twenty.Come on，Bob；we'll go to a place I know and have a good long talk about old times.”
The two men walked up the street，arm in arm .The man from the West was beginning to outline the history of his career.At the corner stood a drugstore，brilliant with electric lights．【5】Each of them turned to stare at the other's face.The man from the West stopped suddenly and released his arm.
【5】本句是一个全部倒装句。方位介词短语置于句首，句子用全部倒装。
“As I suspected，you're not Jimmy Wells，” he said，impatiently with anger.“Twenty years is a long time，but not long enough to change the shape of a man's nose.”
“It sometimes changes a good man into a bad one，” said the tall man，taking charge of the situation.“You've been under arrest for ten minutes，‘Silky' Bob.Chicago police thought you might have dropped over our way and wired us.They want to have a chat with you.Before we go to the station，here's a note for you.It's from Patrolman Wells.”
The man from the West unfolded the paper.The note was rather short.
“Bob: I was at the appointed place on time.When you struck the match to light your cigar I saw it was the face of the criminal wanted in Chicago.Anyhow I couldn't arrest you myself，so I got a plain clothes man to do the job.JIMMY.”

二十年后
巡逻的警察像往常一样沿街行走。当时还不到晚上十点。当绕着某个街区走了大约一半时，警察突然放慢了速度。一个男人站在一家店门口，嘴里叼着一支未点燃的雪茄。当警察向他走过去时，那个男人快速地大声说起话来。
“没事的，警官，”他说，“我只是在等一个朋友。这是二十年前定下的一个约定。以前有一家餐馆就在这家商店所在处——‘大乔’布拉迪餐厅。”
“直到五年前它还在这儿，”警察说，“后来它被拆掉了。”
门口的那个人划了根火柴点燃了雪茄。火光下可看见他苍白的脸，锐利的眼睛，方下巴以及右边眉毛附近一道白色的小疤痕。他的领带别针上有一颗大钻石，镶得很奇怪。
“二十年前的今天晚上，”那人说，“我和我最好的朋友吉米·威尔斯在这里吃饭。他和我就像兄弟一样。我十八岁，吉米二十岁。第二天早上，我将离开纽约，前往西部发财。噢，我们当晚约定二十年后再次在这里见面，不管我们的境况如何，或者我们可能得从多远赶来。我们认为，二十年后，我们每个人都应该创建了自己的生活，并发了财。”
“听起来真有趣，”警察说，“不过两次会面间隔了相当长的时间。自从你离开后，你难道没有收到过你朋友的信息？”
“嗯，我们保持了一两年的联系，然后就断了。但我知道吉米如果还活着的话会在这里见我，因为他一直是世界上最真实、最可靠的人。他永远不会忘记。我今晚从千里之外赶来站在这个门口，如果我的老伙计出现了，这是值得的。”
等候的人掏出一块镶着小钻石的漂亮怀表。差三分钟十点。
“我要走了，”警察说，“希望你的朋友出现。”
“我会给他至少半个小时的时间。再见，警官！”
从千里之外如约与青年时期的朋友相会的那个人抽着雪茄等着。大约二十分钟后，一个穿着长大衣，领子翻起到耳边的高个子男子，匆匆向他走来。
“是你吗，鲍勃？”高个男子疑惑地问道。
“是你吗，吉米·威尔斯？”门口的人喊道。
“天呐！”新来的人叫道，“哎呀，哎呀，哎呀！二十年是很长的时间！西部待你如何，老伙计？”
“它给了我所要求的一切。你变了很多，吉米。我没想到你高了两三英寸。”
“哦，我二十岁以后长了一点。来吧，鲍勃；我们去一个我熟悉的地方，好好谈谈过去的时光。”
两个人臂挽着臂沿街走着。那个来自西部的人开始概述他的职业生涯。拐角处有一家药店，(里面)灯火通明。他们两个人都转过身来注视着对方的脸。从西部来的人突然停下来，松开了胳膊。
“正如我所怀疑的，你不是吉米·威尔斯，”他愤怒又不耐烦地说，“二十年是很长的时间，但不足以改变一个人鼻子的形状。”
“二十年有时会把好人变成坏人，”掌控着局面的高个子说，“你已经被捕十分钟了，愚蠢的鲍勃。芝加哥警方认为你可能顺路拜访我们这里并给我们发了电报。他们想和你聊聊天。在我们去车站之前，给你一张便条看看。是巡警威尔斯写的。”
那个从西部来的人展开了便条。便条很短。
“鲍勃：我准时到了约定的地点。你划火柴点燃雪茄时，我发现你就是被芝加哥警方通缉的那个罪犯。不过，我不能亲自逮捕你，便让一个便衣(警察)来代劳。吉米。”
