26、   Is it necessary to learn when we are in our 50s, 60s or even 70s? Most people think that when they get retired, they are supposed to be completely laid-back(安详放松), do something fun, or hang around. 【1】 It’s particularly important for the elderly.

Through learning, we know how to think, how to memorize, how to ask questions and even how to interact with others. According to a study, while we are learning, our brains create neural pathways that make us smarter. 【2】 The more we learn, the more new neural pathways develop in our brains.

When it comes to learning, it doesn’t mean we must load ourselves with lots of knowledge. What we need to do is just learn something we like day in and day out. 【3】 Everyone learns from bottom to up. If we have an interest in learning, the desire will naturally push us to move forward.

If we feel worn out, don’t be discouraged. 【4】 An old saying goes, “Birds of a feather flock together.” As long as we have partners to learn together, our learning excitement will come alive again. On the contrary, if we don’t learn, or choose to distance ourselves from others, we might be getting dumb, and slow; eventually, we lose energy and passion. Instead of being bored and dumb, why don’t we keep learning?

【5】 More importantly, learning broadens our horizons, helps us build up our confidence; bit by bit, it leads us to a way of finding the sense of value and achievement in the process of learning.

A.Look for a partner who has the same interest as you.

B.It’s never too old to learn.

C.In other words, our brains are active as we learn something new.

D.Don’t worry that you can’t learn well.

E.Learning makes us understand how much potential we have.

F.However, the truth is that learning makes us energetic and content.

G.You should set a high learning target.

27、Open Hearts to life

We often close ourselves off when unfortunate events happen in our live. We try to reduce the hurt and pain by pretending it doesn't exist, 【1】We need to learn to open our hearts to the potentials of life and let the world soften us.

Whenever we start to let our fears and seriousness get the best of us, we should take a step back and re-evaluate our behavior. The items listed below are the ways you can open your heart more fully and completely.

Breathe into pain

Whenever a painful situation arises in your life, try to embrace it instead of running away.【2】 When we run away from sadness, it will get stronger and more real. By making use of our breath, we soften our experiences and allow more newness and greater experiences to blossom.

【3】

I know we’ve all felt decisions or actions that we had to take simply due to our "gut" impulses: when asked, we can’t explain the reasons behind doing so--just a deep knowing that it had to get done. To start this process, take few deep breaths and then ask, “Heart, what decision should I make here? What action feels the most right?”

See what comes up, then engage and evaluate the outcome.

Spend time alone.

For most of our lives we’re surrounded by people: our friends, colleagues, peers, family members, and loved ones, and strangers. How often do we really spend time alone? When you spend time in solitude, you're free from the influences of other people, and can truly open yourself and explore whatever you’d like. See where your thoughts take you.【4】

It might be painful or even scary at first, but by opening yourself up to these new feelings, you’ll add a whole new layer of depth, experience, and understanding into your life.

Get outside of yourself

This may seem a little contradictory to the last tip, but in reality, they actually work hand-in-hand. After you’ve explored the depths of yourself, you come away with a new understanding. Now, it's time to share that -not through telling others, but through being with others.

When you’re in a group of people, try to give them your full energy and attention so you can understand them just as you did yourself.【5】Lose yourself in the beauty of others; see what they can teach you about yourself.

A.Embrace the uncomfortable.

B.Ask your heart what it wants

C.In the end, though, we can't hide from ourselves

D.We should take a step back and re-evaluate our behavior

E.When the sadness strikes, take a deep breath and lean into it.

F.The golden ticket here is to not let yourself become distracted; just see what it's like to be alone.

G.Appreciate their uniqueness, as if they are an extension of you.

28、   Today, in most of the theatres in Britain, the stages are situated behind a sort of arch （拱门）, called the proscenium （幕布前的舞台部分）arch. The arch runs across the building with the stage on one side of it and the auditorium, housing the audience, on the other. The audience is kept to the area from which it can get a clear view of the stage. This type of theatre has been is use for three hundred years. 【1】 The actor can ignore them until the end, when they applaud the performance. If an actor wants to speak to the audience he tends to step out of the picture, as it were—down to the edge of the stage.

【2】 Stage furniture or properties—“props”, as they are referred to in the business – are now as few as possible. Elaborate scenery is used only when it is going to last throughout the play, or when it is so constructed that it can be changed quickly. Modern theatres are built with the stage extending far in front of the proscenium arch, if indeed they have a proscenium arch at all. electricity, already long in use, has recently had a revolutionary effect. A change of lighting is as good as a change of scenery, and simpler and quicker; it can light one part of the stage in place of another. Footlights have been found unnecessary. Curtains also are hardly necessary, since the stage can be darkened to signify the end of a scene.

The modern idea of having the stage in front of the proscenium arch is not really modern, of course. It makes our stages much like Shakespeare’s. 【3】 The famous speeches of Hamlet, for instance, can be delivered more quietly and naturally than they were in the last century. The actors no longer have to worry much about not being heard, or about turning their backs to the auditorium. They can get closer to the audience, while a larger audience can see them at work.

Moreover, nowadays, people are finding that modern theatres are built to sit in comfortably for two or three hours at a stretch. 【4】 The result of these improvements is that, in spite of the high price of seats, perhaps more people than ever before are keen on theatre-going.

A. Over the last few decades, since the Second World War, theatrical customs have altered.

B. It makes people feel, as they watch a play or a show, that they are seeing a living and moving picture.

C. All these innovations have quickened up the pace of the drama.

D. This is an advantage both for actors and audience.

E. Today the theatres are much more comfortable because of the many improvements.

F. Often they can meet and eat in the restaurants attached to the theatres.

29、   Tapping on the windshield (挡风玻璃) to get his attention, I asked, “Is your taxi available?”

He looked up at me, nodding, “I’m sorry. I was reading a letter.”

“I’m in no hurry,” I told him. “Go ahead and finish your letter.”

He shook his head, “I’ve read it several times.”

“Letters from home always mean a lot.” I said.

“This isn’t family.” he replied, “Old Ed was my oldest friend. He was a nice guy.”

“You said ‘was’. Does that mean—?”

He nodded, “Died a few weeks ago.”

“I’m sorry.”

After a brief silence, I heard him repeat: “I should have kept in touch. But things come up and we just don’t seem to find the time.”

“We used to find the time,” he handed the letter over to me. “Take a look.”

The letter began with “Old Friend,” and then referred to the good times they had had together.

“For the last 30 years it’s been mostly just Christmas cards. Never a real letter. I’m not good at writing.” He added.

“It must have made you feel good, didn’t it?” I said.

The driver said something I couldn’t understand. As we were getting close to our destination, I skipped to the last paragraph. It was signed, Your Old Friend, Tom.

“Your friend’s name was Ed. Why did he sign it Tom?”

“I’m Tom,” he explained, looking as if he were trying to see something in the distance.

【2】What does the underlined “It” refer to?

B.Because he formed the habit of writing letters.

C.Because he happened to have time to write a letter.
