Adult education is the practice of teaching and educating adults. This is often done in the workplace, or 56 “continuing education” courses at secondary schools, or at a college or university.
Educating adults differs from educating 57 in several ways. One of the most important 58 is that adults have gained knowledge and experience which can 59 add value to a learning experience or interfere with it.
Another important difference is that adults frequently must apply their knowledge in some 60 fashion in order to learn effectively; there must be a 61 and a reasonable expectation that the new knowledge will help them further that goal. One example, 62 in the 1990s, was the spread of computer training courses in 63 adults, most of them office workers, could enroll. These courses would teach basic use of the operating system or specific application 64 . Because the skilh 65 to interact with a PC were so new, many people who had been working white-collar jobs for ten years or more eventually took such training courses, either of their own will (to gain computer skills and thus can higher pay) or at the request of their managers.

Paper Two
Part Ⅴ Translation( 30 minutes, 15 points)
Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese and put your translation on the ANSWER SHEET.
One of the really nice features about e-mails is that they allow us to send files as attachments to other users. This is a very good thing. If I’m working with a colleague and want to send him an image file or a word file, I can do so very quickly and easily, without having to fax it to him. This saves on long distance bills and printing costs. It also, however, presents a problem, because attachments can take a long time to download. For those of us who pay by the hour for Intemet service, unwanted attachments can be quite costly and time-consuming. I ouce had someone send me fifteen large image files, and it tied up my computer for 20 minutes just to download one of them. So, in short, if you’re going to send an attachment, get permission first.
