1、“Lifelong learning” is a popular idea all around the world, but what does it mean?
Many people believe we can learn everything we need to be successful in life at school. ______ it is not true. In modern society, everything changes very fast. Lifelong leaning means learning new skills and knowledge through our ______ lives, not just when we are young.
Lifelong leaning can also mean leaning something to make our lives happier or easier. Older people might attend a ______ course because they cannot send an e-mail to their children, or someone might learn a new ______ so they can talk to their foreign neighbor. In one American city neighborhood, all the women went to a self-defense(自我防护) class so they could fight back if a thief attacked them! All these are different examples of lifelong learning.
Lifelong learning has helped people like Peter J. Daniels, an Australian businessman. Peter grew up poor and when he was a child he experienced learning difficulties. A teacher once told him, “Peter, you will never become anything in life.” After leaving school, Peter became a builder, but he still wanted to _____ and learn how to read. He bought a dictionary and slowly taught himself how to pronounce words and form sentences. Later, Peter started to read books from cover to cover.

26、Mark began to introduce the guest speaker to the listeners, but then stopped for a while. He had forgotten her name.
Barbara hid her valuable things when she went on vacation. When she came back, she couldn’t remember where she’d put them.
Perhaps you’ve had such experiences like these. Most people have. But most of them haven’t realized that they have a memory problem. Neither do they know a simple but important fact: Memorycan be improved. If you’ll just accept that, the following will show you how.
First, relax. If you are over worried about remembering something, you’ll forget it. If you keep telling yourself that your memory is bad, your mind will come to believe it and you won’tremember things. When you forget something, don’t follow up with sayings like “Oh, my God! Ialways forget things!” Such words will have a bad result on you and your memory.
But relaxing isn’t enough. To improve your memory, you’ll need to take an active role. Like your body, your memory can be made strong through exercise. Look for opportunities to exercise your memory. For example, if you’re learning a language, try to actively remember a lot of newwords.
If you don’t take notice of things actively, you won’t remember them. So, you can make pictures of what you see in your mind every day. For example, don’t just put your keys down! If you want to find them again, make a mind picture of the place where you’re putting them.

He was inspired (激励) to create these heroes in a number of ways. For example, for Iron Man, he planned to create a hero that nobody would like —but finally, most people like him. And for The Incredible Hulk, Lee’s artist friend Kirby said he was inspired by watching a man lift up a car to save a woman.
Lee never stopped working, even after leaving from Marvel. He appeared in many Marvel films. He often got a small part. In fact, he had already filmed some acts for the next Avengers film, which came out in 2019.
