A

Ideas about education are changing in the United States. Education today is not just a high school diploma(文凭) or a college degree. Many adults are not interested in going to college. They are interested in other kinds of learning. For them, learning does not end with a diploma.

Continuing education gives these adults the opportunity to increase their knowledge about their own field or to learn about a new field. It also gives them a chance to improve their old skills or to learn new ones.

Scientists, mechanics and barbers can take classes to improve their work skills. If they know more or learn more, they can get a better job or earn more money.

Continuing education classes give more adults the chances to learn new skills. There are different classes to choose from: typing, foreign cooking, photography, auto repair, furniture repair, or swimming. These are only some of the classes available.

Some adults take classes for fun or because the class will be useful for them. Other adults take continuing education classes to improve their own lives because they want to feel better about themselves.

Almost any community college or public school system has a continuing education program. There are classes in schools, community buildings or churches. Most classes are in the evening, so working people can attend. The classes are usually small, and they are inexpensive.

51. What’s the purpose for adults to continue their education?

A. To enlarge their knowledge and learn new skills.

B. To catch up the opportunity to get a higher degree.

C. To learn more basic knowledge to get a diploma.

D. To make more money by getting a high degree.

52. Which of the following statement is TRU
