2.How do you understand the title of this unit
The title of this unit comes from a well-known English proverb. With the rapid development of human society，we are required to practise lifelong learning in order to keep pace with new concepts and new technologies. There is no end to learning. Through lifelong learning，we constantly understand the changes in the world，broaden our horizons and improve our skills.
3．What would you do when learning is tough and frustrating
Faced with this situation，I would try to be patient with myself first. The more patient I am，the more confident I would be to achieve certain objectives. If being patient does not help，I would change my method of learning. For example，instead of reading about a topic，I could look for a video on the topic to watch. Finally，I would make sure I am maintaining a good balance between my studies and my free time activities. By applying various strategies，I will ensure that I improve my learning efficiency and face any challenges positively.

1．What’s your understanding of the title “Learning for life”？
Just as what is conveyed in the last paragraph of the text，know what you know and use it；know what you do not know and embrace it；know that you will never know all there is to know and wonder at it. That is to say，life is a long journey full of the known and the unknown. It requires us to know，to understand，to use，and to review all the way. The whole process is never to be stopped. It is no exaggeration to say we learn to live and live to learn.
Activity 4　Third-reading—Read for further thinking
三读，深入思考
2．How can you become a lifelong learner Take yourself as an example.
As for me，to be a lifelong learner，I am supposed to change my mind. I used to believe systematical learning usually comes to the end when one graduates from university. But now I believe that learning is actually a continuous process，rather than a result. In my daily life，I will seize every chance to learn，and get my knowledge updated even after graduation. Some training courses can also be taken advantage of to get ourselves recharged，if necessary.
