Imagine a training course that helps you in your specific job. Imagine tools and techniques that are so closely connected with your work that you can apply them directly to it. Imagine receiving an Open University (OU) certificate (证书) in a course which states what you have studied and achieved.
It may sound fantastic, but it’s a reality at the Open University’s CCPD, which is making learning while you work more flexible (灵活的) than ever before.
The courses are starting to change workplace learning completely. Paige, who took CCPD’s courses, said the study had changed her whole way of thinking. “It was excellent for so many reasons,” she said. “It developed me as a person and as an employee and taught me particular techniques. I was always able to bring what I’d learned into the office the next day and apply it to my job.”
Even better news for Paige was that her employer paid the full cost of her study. She became one of thousands of OU students whose fees were paid by employers who recognized the value of an OU education.
“These courses are designed for CCPD rather than as part of a formal certificate,” said Kathy, an OU teacher. “We pay more attention to development rather than assessment (评估). Our role is to give them personal developmental advice, not a mark.”
Paige is just one of 200,000 students who are learning at OU. CCPD itself is just a part of an organization that offers courses and qualifications in 360 subjects and has so far helped to develop the skills and knowledge of more than two million people.
“Education does not stop with getting a degree,” said Charles Edwards, CCPD’s director. “In a fast-moving economy you cannot afford to rely on the degree you got some time ago. You must keep updating your knowledge.”

According to the passage, CCPD’s courses are ________.

D. the importance of hard work
It can be inferred from Paragraph 4 that ________.

school and college. This idea never gained a big following in America. Recent news reports have
suggested that interest may be growing, though there are no official numbers.
Charles Deacon, Dean of Admissions at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., estimates that
in the current first-year class of 1,600 students, only about 25 decided to take a year off. He says this
number hasn't changed much over the years.
Mr. Deacon says the most common reason for taking a "gap year" is to have a chance to travel, but
he says international students may take a "gap year" to meet requirements at home for military duty.
Some high school graduates see a year off as a chance to recover after twelve years of required
education, but it can also give students a chance to explore their interests. Students hoping to be doctors,
for example, could learn about the profession by volunteering in a hospital.
Many colleges and universities support gap-year projects by permitting students to delay their
admission. Experts say students can grow emotionally and intellectually as they work at something they
enjoy.
The Harvard admissions office has an essay on its Web site called "Time Out or Burn Ou >t for the
Next Generation." It praises the idea of taking time off to step back, think and enjoy gaining life
experiences outside the pressure of studies. It also notes that students are sometimes admitted to
Harvard or other colleges partly because they did something unusual with that time.
Of course, a gap year is not for everyone. Students might miss their friends who go on directly to
college, and parents might worry that their children will decide not to go to college once they take time
off. Another concern is money. A year off, away from home, can be costly.
Holly Bull's job is to specialize in helping students plan their gap year. She notes that several books
have been written about this subject. She says these books along with media attention and the availability
of information on the Internet have increased interest in the idea of a year off, and she points out that
many gap-year programs cost far less than a year of college.
B. More and more American students are choosing to take a year off.
C. It is likely that taking a "gap year" is becoming popular in America.
D. Americans hold different opinions towards students' taking a "gap year".
B. 3.
C. 4.
D. 5.
B. some famous universities encourage students to gain more life experiences
C. taking a 'gap year' can make students free from life learning
D. the stress of studies does harm to the students' health
B. Books and media have contributed to the students' interest in school learning.
C. Parents might disagree with the program, concerned about their children's future.
D. Experts agree taking a year off will benefit the students emotionally and physically.
Many of us spend a great deal of time and energy trying to prove that we are right and others are wrong. Many people believe that it’s their job to 36 others how their positions, statements and points of view are 37 and that in doing so, the person they are correcting is going to somehow 38 it, or at least learn something. Wrong！
Think about it. Have you ever been 39 by someone and said to him, “Thank you so much for showing me that I’m wrong and you’re right.” Or has anyone you know ever 40 you when you corrected him, or made yourself “right” at his 41 ? Of course not. The truth is, all of us 42 to be corrected. We all want our position to be 43 and understood by others. Being listened to and heard is one of the greatest 44 of the human heart. And those who learn to 45 are the most loved and respected. Those who are in the 46 of correcting others are often hated and 47 .
A wonderful way of becoming more peaceful and loving is to practice 48 others the joy of being right--- give them the glory. 49 correcting. When someone says, “I really feel it’s important to…” rather than 50 and saying, “No, it’s more important to…” , simply let it go and allow his statement to 51 . The people in your life will become less defensive and more 52 . They will appreciate you more than you could ever have 53 possible. You’ll discover the joy of joining in and seeing other people’s 54 , which is far more rewarding than a battle of egos（自我意识）. Starting today, and let others be “ 55 ” most of the time.

Dear Xiaohua:
I’m very glad to receive your letter. From your letter, I know you have shown 【小题1】 great interest in inventing new things. That’s great. As for how to be an inventor, there is no quick answer to 【小题2】 .
Coming from different cultures and having different backgrounds, inventors do not seem to have much 【小题3】 common. But creative thinking, 【小题4】 is greatly valued, is perhaps the basic skill an inventor should have. In order to explore new possibilities, you will have to learn to break 【小题5】 from old thought patterns. When you get stuck, try to look at the problem in 【小题6】 many ways as possible. Each new 【小题7】may improve your understanding.
More importantly, always keep it in your mind 【小题8】 success is no accident. It is the result of a long process of trial and error. Above all, the main task for you is to study hard and try to learn more knowledge. This, of course, will lay a solid foundation.
Hope your future invention will make a difference.
Good luck.
Yours,
Wang Li
