When you leave school，you_can_breathe_a_sigh_of_relief_and_leave_learning_behind，right？Wrong！Learning should last a lifetime.You exercise your body to stay strong，and you should exercise your mind to stay sharp.
An English idiom says，“You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” But scientists have discovered that isn’t true.Older people can learn，and they should，in order to keep their brain active.Now a new trend has begun in several states in the US that encourages learning.Adults can attend One Day University.They can spend a Saturday or Sunday hearing four 70－minute lectures.Each one is given by a top university professor.One of the original participants said，“It’s like a health club for the brain.” Also，universities like MIT have made all of their courses and lectures available online for free！Libraries offer learning programs too.With so much available，there is no excuse not to learn!
Learning is a habit.Don’t leave it behind after you leave school.On the website lifehack.org，author Scott Young mentions several things to help you.
Always have a book.It doesn’t matter if you read fast or slow.Just read.If you read just one book a week，you’ll read 52 over the course of a year.Think of the knowledge you’ll gain!
Practice it.As you read，do something with what you’ve learned.Don’t just enjoy the mental exercise.Use the knowledge.If you read about painting，try it!
Make a “to learn” list.Compose a “to learn” list for yourself.Maybe you want to speak better English，play the piano，or cook French food.Whatever interests you，put it on your list and then make the time to do it.
Teach others.Whatever you learn，teach someone else.You’ll not only help others but also understand what you’ve learned.
21．What’s the best title for this passage?
A．Make learning last a lifetime.
B．What you should do after leaving school.

B．Leaving learning behind is what you should do after a break.
C．You can relax as you have escaped from the hard life of studying.

A．The Development of an Early Union
B．Support from the Public
C．The Decline of an Early Union
D．A Brief Comparison between the Union and the Medieval Craft Guilds
E．Management’s Reaction to the Labour Movement
F．Reasons for starting a Union
26.
Some scholars have associated trade unions with the medieval craft guilds (中世纪的行会)，but there are important differences between the two.The guild members were masters craftsmen who owned capital and often employed workers.Unions are known as associations of workers with similar skills.
27.
In the past，individual worker had no control over the conditions of their working lives; political and economic power was concentrated in the hands of wealthy business owners.Workers found，however，that there was strength in uniting.From their earliest years，union objectives have been higher wages and improved working conditions.
28.
Employers resisted，of course.They made great efforts to stop union organizing its activities.Union members were fired，workers were forced to sign contracts in which they promised not to join a union，and companies hired strike－breakers (罢工破坏者) and even gunmen to frighten organizers.
29.
One of the earliest successful labour organizations in the United States was the Knights of Labour，founded in 1869.The Knights，which included both skilled and unskilled workers，attempted to organize all workers into one great union.After it successfully struck the Wabash railroad owned by Jay Gould in 1885，its popularity and power grew dramatically.In 1886 the Knights had 700,000 members.
30.
The decline of the Knights of Labour，however，came quickly.The strike against Gould was gradually broken，and the Knights radical positions on social issues cost them public support.In the end，a lack of unity as well as the rapid inflow of unskilled immigrants weakened the union’s economic power，and the organization came to an end.
